Coming from the LIVE side, a topic has been brought up on how to make LIVE have more players in their community. Here is the idea that has been brought up and was wondering if this would entice some of you out there to play a few LIVE leagues...

Would you play LIVE if the min amount of games to be played live was 30?

I know playing takes more time, but really 30 games is not a lot when each game takes about 12 minutes of your time. Just curious if this would help LIVE have more players willing to play.

Any other suggestions on what would help you come over and join a LIVE league?

I would join one if I could be guarunteed not to be in the same league as The Creeper or Arvidjoseph.

Get rid of the guys that think they run live. If more people thought they were welcome maybe you would have a bigger group of guys. Look at the list of guys that have .

I'll play as long as I am guanrinteed not to have to play agains any Hall of Famars.

I agree Bastan! 30 games isn't much and it is a great place to get to know each other around here. Come try it out... Currently, several progressives have low live mins of around 40. Great way to test drive the live game.

Agreed, definitely gives you more control and easier to micromanage your team. I was hooked immediately. Seems to give more entertainment for your dollar as well.

You shouldn't be offended by him. It is all an act. If anything view it as entertainment when you beat him.

I would if I knew how to connect to live

Who are you?

Every league has right above the standings a "Play Live" red button. You press that and then press play live again and it will pop on your screen. Make sure you have your pop up blocker off and I believe it needs java. You can play free test games even.

See what I mean? How would you not want to play this guy??

I used to play live when I first started on this site. It seemed like every game was won on some crazy crap in the 9th inning. Also, people used to log out in the middle of the game which always seemed to cause some weirdness to happen.

After the update I logged into live just to see if anything had changed and was surprised to see all my live stats had been wiped out. Talk about a buzzkill.

Remember when Live came online and they charged for it? You had to buy "tokens" and use a token per game.

Making arrangements to play, depending on the other owner, a few problems with the user interface (at least three years ago), were all I needed to convince me that it's much more time consuming than that 12 minutes a game.

Also, if you play against guys steeped in live play, you're at an artificial computer disadvantage that has nothing to do with your actual ability to manage a team...

I really have no interest in playing live. The fun in the SIM for me is the draft. From there it's just making adjustment throughout the season to keep the team from fatiguing and such.
