Ratings/Potential on the 2-8 scale. Stars on.
Trade on Hard, favoring neither veterans nor prospects.
Ghost players should be off. Dynamic league should be off.
What I'm interested in, however, is how you guys play "realistically". Do you allow the manager to handle the lineups and pitching rotations? Or do you override him and set those yourself? I would like to play strictly as the GM but a lot of the decisions that the AI manager makes in terms of line ups and depth charts are just dumb... The same question goes to the set strategies as well.

I manage and use the same lineups Joe Maddon uses against a particular pitcher the Cubs faced in real-life 2016 unless it's someone they didn't face or one (or more) of my players is injured, someone's hot or cold, etc. And I also use real-life transactions (trades, releases, signings, etc.) Also, once I get caught up to where the real-life Cubs are I'm going to be managing and GM-ing the games in real-time.
