For myself, I still check in here pretty much daily (or multiple times a day) but I'm not currently playing the game. With each new build I start a game and play a season or two. Last time I tried the QMJHL and stopped when the game crashed after the season (I forgot to increase the auto-save frequency so lost four months). The prior release I played through about six seasons starting at the earliest historical date and stopped because the contract logic was too broken (among other issues) - Hall of Fame level players were having their careers killed because they didn't want to negotiate with the team that held their rights. Before that I had played through an NHL season which was a lot of fun until I hit the playoffs and the game crashed every time I hit a certain date.
Right now I don't see the point in playing a long term game because there are still too many holes in the game: scouting, trades, the drafts, the in-game experience, etc. all need significant work. There is some progress being made, but with frequent build updates and a small development team it's not always easy to see the improvements - I suspect if I took a month or two off and came back I'd be pleasantly surprised (but I'm too eager for this to wait those months).
I expect that the number of posts in this forum will remain quite low right through to September - there was an initial interest when the beta started, people were excited, tried it and now have moved on to other things.
