I play Challenge Mode because I assume that is the hardest difficulty setting while still realistic. After a few play throughs, I find Challenge Mode quite good in terms of balancing difficulty, fun and sense of reward.

I would make a couple of changes to the default / non-changeable settings in the Challenge Mode

1) Disable draft pick trading - AI will always undervalue 1st overall pick (for next draft) at the end of the season. This leads to me being able to pick 1st overall every year, by recycling a good/star player. This bug killed my interest in my earlier saves when I turned on draft pick trading.

2) Allow the user the option to turn off injuries for minor leagues. The major league trainer does not impact the injury frequency of your minor leaguers, so it's random when your star prospect gets torn labrum and out for 13-14 months. Everyone would agree we get attached to the star prospect we drafted / signed, and want to see them succeed - it really ruins the fun when they randomly get taken out for 1 year, or repeatedly gets hurt and gets fragile label. Come on, at least give us an option to disable injuries for minor leaguers for certain OOTP style of play.
