Wow, you're flying through the first season! Any plans to do game recap articles? They're time consuming -- I know from experience -- but they can really add to the immersion for the reader.

Also, it looks like you're getting some injuries, which is great. Did you raise the injury sliders?

I'll do game recap articles in the playoffs...

thats what I did for my Pens chise.

I'm actually about 30 games in...got a about 10 games backlogged.

Oh, and I kept the injury slider at 3. I've finally nailed my sliders down also, so thats nice.

Interesting, as I assumed you cranked them up. How's the CPU trading & management logic? Anything that made you say WTF? Keep up the good work...

I have it turned off...I'll turn trading back on for short periods of time and a week or so before the deadline.

I'll start posting short little summaries per your request...its a good idea.
