Season Mode

[adobery]

I have read the best way to play season mode in MVP '05 if to mess with the sliders/options in dynasty mode. Which options should I turn off and leave on.

I really just want to play a season with a team. I don't care about salaries, moods, trades, etc. Just a plain old season.

Thanks!

Turn off the following:

Injuries

Suspensions

CPU Initiated Trades

Trade Deadline

Budgets

Energy Level Effect

Team Chemistry Effect

This way the roster on your team (and others) will never change and you don't have to worry about fatigued players or those that don't perform well because they're unhappy.

Thanks. Couple of followup questions then.

I wouldn't mind having injuries, suspensions and energy level effects. Need some randomness.

1) With budget and trades turned off, can you still work with your farm system to bring a guy up from AAA if you need to due to injuries?

2) Is energy level effect simply fatigue? Guys tiring from overuse, never getting days off, etc..

3) What do suspensions stem from, the normal stuff? Drug test, brawls, charging pitcher? Or are they just random?

Yes, you can

Yes

I don't know about drug tests or brawls, but I believe that charging a pitcher may get you suspended.
