i play more hands-on until i find that gem pitcher and batter and make sure i have a "greatest" player for that league (not singular in concept).

after that (30-50 years, typically) i like piling up history (50-100+). i go the opposite direction of most others. Eventually, i delegate everything, but i set strategy sliders of the A-GM and head coach. i like comparing strategy choices over those last 50-100years and seeing which results in more WS titles.

And, also in the general sense... i like pouring over the Leaderborad and clicking on each to see top X-number of players etc... i'm slowly trying to shape the statistical environment while playing for fun each year-- i want to get 300win pitchers a handful of times per 100yrs, a 60+ HR guy or two and a .400 hitter or two, even bumping SB #'s a bit. whether those things or normal anymore or not (e.g. imo, .400 in todays era? not likely happening, lol, but eras change in RL).. basically recreate my own mlb and 100-some years of history to enjoy.

the a-gm stuff i learn isn't very useful from the 2nd-half, but the coach strategies provide great info for me, since i don't coach game-to-game. i say "ws titles" aboive, but it's more about likelihood of success. average playoff run length more important than # of titles in a broader sense. i try to consider the various things at play in addition to # of titles.

what i've learned -- control the roster in playoffs, lol... best thing you can do... but seriously, some strategies are better for regular season than playoffs and vice versa.
