I agree with you. Simming is not for me, either. The only way to really get to know your players and league is to play out games. I play out the last three innings of every team's games and write up a brief description of it. This really gets me into the league.

It takes me six months to play a year. And since I have expanded to 64 teams, it will take me a year to play a year. I had to expand as I had created these town histories and could only use half of them. I really got attached to the towns, so I decided to include all of them.

I think you are wise to limit your teams to 24. That is a much more realistic league size.

GO ELMORE BLUE SOX!
I'm 100% in agreement with you; it may take me a year in RL to play a year in OOTP, but if that's the way that I best enjoy the game then that's the way it's going to have to be.

Elmore laid an egg in their opening series. Hopefully they'll turn things around at home in a few days.
