1. Is it worth changing contract mode for new teams?

And another question, the one I came to ask before reading on salaries (which prompted my 1st question)

2. If I play with formations in the orders screen, I get always negative karma at the end of the game. But I don't really see how to emulate the random between run and pass that you get in orders in the playbook. My idea was to repeat the formations there, but playing different each quarter. But unless I base it on results, I don't see how to have pass / run random.

Sounds like you'll need to add more depth to your playbook. How many lines have you added?

In the beginning wages are low.
I think it is more useful be free to cut players without penalty.
So I would switch in contract mode only when I am sure to keep the majority of my players.

almost nothing added. Just a 4 and 1 situation, and modified some of the formations in the basic playbook. Lots to learn and do yet!

There you go. More plays for more situations gives the impression of more randomness.

Thanks.

Another question, players related. I've bought a few young cheap players, nothing to phone home, but a bit better than what I had. For cutting players, should I wait until they have reached the red in speed and strength, then see who goes where, then cut... or directly cut someone who has low TW and INT?

I will wait to see the value speed and strength red caps, if you have a scout level 20 when you see the yellow cap you can add 5/5.9 points to estimate the red cap.
Low TW and INT doesn't mean he can not be a very good player, they are not needed for every role, of course they are welcome.

Stadium repair: at what % do people usually repair it? As it has a +100.000 fee to start the repair, I suppose it is not at 95%...

and another question... to get a better running game, I suppose it takes both a better OL and better RBs? Because my run game is pathetic atm.
