What are your strategies for practice throughout the year, if you control it? If your coach controls practices, does he do a good job or do you not pay attention to it and assume it doesn't factor in much?When I played previous versions of EHM I used to control everything, tactics, lines, practice, etc. Now I'm just to busy and don't have enough free time so I let my coach handle lines and tactics but I still handle practice because it's easy to set and I feel like I'm getting awesome results.During off season I mix it up and hit a little bit of everything (but I keep special teams practice to a minimum and do very close to 100% general. I do most of my fitness and skating during the offseason.During the regular season I bounce back and forth between general and Off/Def skills depending on the position and player.
Giving rest to players when exhausted. I tend to spend about 40-60% of the time on General and 40-60% of the time on power play/penalty kill. If my team is struggling on either one of the special teams I'll go up as high as 50% on that special team unit and even make trades if needed to correct the issues.During the season, if my team has 3 or more days off without games I mix up the practices completely and even throw in some resting days.During the playoffs I focus mostly on tactics and lean heavy towards special teams. Especially if my team is allowing to many power play goals, I'll go 50% penalty kill and go heavy on tactics. And if my team is having trouble scoring I'll mix between shooting and tactics with a heavy percentage of power play time. Guide for EHM 2007 that I've applied in EHM:EA (well, the 3 intensive, 3 medium schedules, keeping an eye on players). I put players on what they need to improve on and keep it there year long.

No idea if switching things up would speed things up or if just concentrating on the one thing means they stay that way.I do that with a 50%-30%-20% split in season, 8090% for general practice in the off-season, then 60-20-20 for training camp into season.Starting on August 15th, I do a General training (everything medium) until they are 100% condition/1 week before training camp. Then I put them on Fitness training (conditionning + skating at intensive) until season starts - if they drop in the 80%'s I put on general, less on Resting. Then just assign them until late in the season when they start getting tired (on the profile screen) to whatever I want them to work on. I'll put them on general if they fall under 90% and rest when less then 80% in season. Near playoffs I'll put them on general to keep them at 100% condition the whole way through.Once I am eliminated I put everything on the 'death drills' cycle of everything on intensive (I do the same with young players in my lineup who play occasionally and can physically take it) until August 1st. Then I put them on resting until August 15 and start over from there. All of my players are tired but they generally don't injure them, I'm pretty sure condition doesn't do anything so I don't care.
As for progression, make sure you have guys with super high work rate otherwise they will probably just be overwhelmed. You also have to realize every player have a cap and if the DB says this guy will be a career AHLer there is nothing you can do to change it. (That's why I made a DB where the cap is unlimited for everyone in 07 and I understand player progression more than before).
