Always play 3D with key highights with speed up a few notches.
I'm a one club man, don't like abandoning a team I created and letting the AI ruin it.
I love having tonnes of affilate clubs, makes me feel like I'm running a football empire.
I spend a lot of time sending scouts to national youth teams, I usually have a lot of leagues running so I check player stats in the youth divisions and cups and scout anyone with analytics that stand out as well.
I'm pretty tight with wages, if someone wants too much, I ship him out. I freshen up the squad often, keeps it interesting.
I also don't like overpaying for players, but when I'm in the financial position to do so, I break this "rule" by making one marquee signing every couple of seasons, Real Madrid style.
Will sign former club legends as backroom staff, even if they're rubbish.
Don't stand for any nonsense from players, if they complain, they can either deal with it or get transfer listed. I've transfer listed players for getting defensive too many times after I've praised them for playing or training well, I don't like whiners.
I will make a keeper do the walk of shame and sub him off if he's having a bad game.
