Commishes: Do you upload replays? How much do they add to the time of the upload?

Managers: Do you watch the replays?

As a commissioner/simmer... I always include the replays for the most recent sim in the upload. As a manager, I never seem to have the time to watch them. I pour over the boxscores and even a game log now and then... but never have really utilized the reply.

But I don't think that add all that much to the size of the upload. Depending on the league... my league files generally sit at approx 15-25 MB... hardly very large in today's age of broadband internet connections in more homes than not... especially those who purchase a game that is (to my knowledge) only available online.

As a commissioner/manager I agree with Snnort you just don't find the time to watch the replays but some of my owners do watch and the say it makes it more enjoyable.

It doesn't added that much more size to the upload my file runs about 20mb

I find myself watching the replays for my historical online leagues when I have time. It really helped me tweak the strategy settings for things like baserunning plus I really enjoy them, especially if I didn't peek at the standings.

They are time consuming though. Sometimes I blow through the end of them once somebody gets to double digits.

im a huge fan of replays. i usually watch a game or something on the comp, multitask it. but yeah its great. As a commish, i always include it. I usually never get to watch it as commish becuase i can see the score beforehand and it kinda takes away the fun
