So yeah, do you guys act as a commissioner type as well? Or do you HAVE to be a GM or Manager to have fun? Of course it comes down to personal preference.
I did this with my main sim from ootp 9 to ootp 13.

I ran it as commissioner, elected all awards and all-star teams using my own systems and just sat back and watched. i'd watch the playoff games then and did a bunch of extra awards and such. was intense immersion, ran about 40 years like that (a season generally taking 6-8 hours with everything i did)

then i finally switched to playing as one team in ootp 14. but i do sometimes miss that spectator league. still remember all of the great players.
