Thanks for the feedback thus far. Seems like the sim pace needs to be slowed down some.

How about the stats only side of it. Even if you've never run a stats only league or played in one...would you consider joining one or is there an aversion to it. Would you be more comfortable with a 1-5 potential rating system which supplies basically a visual scouting report but still forces you to rely on statistics primarily?

I'm mainly trying to figure out why most stats only leagues fail. Even the dogs day baseball league, a very successful online league, eventually implemented a 1-5 actual ratings and 1-10 potential rating system after starting out stats only. The other ones I found all flopped within a few seasons.

Looking for any and all opinions from novice to experts!
