Simmed my first batch of games and got off to a nice 5-0 start for CBJ, and then came down to a more reasonable 12-8-2. 
Couple of my guys went down to some minor (couple day) long injuries and the computer decided that they should go on injury reserve :/, so I don't think I'll let the computer manage that anymore.
Now to figure out who to offer contracts to and hat I have to do with unsigned prospects! |
As I just recently remembered (after the fact) you can only sign your prospects until Aug 31st, then you have to wait until after the end of the season.
Contracts are a bit easier, my rule of thumb is a top 10 player at his position can have a longer than three year contract, everybody else is limited to three years - unless they are 25 y/o or less and you can get them to agree to reasonable terms. The AI can get players to agree to some funky contracts and then they try to trade them right after signing. So beware and check the contracts in trades before pulling the trigger.
Good luck and keep us posted!
