Actually my big problem is the auction house prices, and me. I have players that I like, and it is so easy to talk myself into giving them another season. How the hell do I dump Daddy Wags, or the Washington Monument (Frank Howard), or Willie Horton, or Bobby Grich, etc., etc., etc.? I'm getting close to just ripping packs and letting fate force my hand. Think it's time for my PT19 therapy. I fire it up, usually on Sunday morning, and five or ten packs to get my fix. It's been working so far. I've only ripped two challenge pack picks in PT 2.0.
Challenge mode hasn't been very productive for me either. I keep getting fired after four seasons or so, as I build teams into contenders. In my latest go round, I've been fired three times, with each team winning a World Series with my players. The Mets firing hurt the most. They won back-to-back during my first season with the last place Red Sox. I can't seem to get into the mode of trying to milk the game for packs. I get too invested in my teams, and can't get myself to take advantage of the AI in trades. Think it's time to fire up my old Strat-O-Matic for my recreational game play. Hmm, I know I have a ton of old cards up in the attic. There's probably some dice...

I keep forgetting to do challenge mode. I need to set up a reminder like some of the guys here do. As for stratomatic, I played that and also an Avalon Hill baseball game as a child. I think
I played the Avalon Hill one more often. It was the 80s. The same time I started collecting baseball cards. I would come home and watch the Braves on WTBS.
