First of all, I believe this goes also for Madden NFL 11 as well, so don't think it's any different between the two years. It all starts with getting though the first season of both. I document my seasons in a notebook as I go along, putting down scores and stats for each game, player of week info, team stats, transactions and draft information. During the off-season I put down coaching changes, retirements, RFAs, re-signings and FA signings and players that were released. Then there's the draft, to which I develop my own War Room of the possible picks for the coming draft of needs using a specific strategy I've developed(details forthcoming) the pre-season depth chart, and the pre-season stats and the regular season depth chart.
