One thing that I have discovered is that I do not have to play out games in order to be immersed. I used to play out games, not anymore. What I miss in individual gameplay, I gain in being able to amass history, watch player career arcs, witness the rise and fall of dynasties, all in a reasonable amount of game playing time. Days and weeks rather than months and years.

Put it this way: The league I am in now is 23 years old. It has taken me over a month to play this much by not playing out my games. In the old days, maybe I'd be in Season 2 or 3 by now.

My immersion has gone up by being able to see my GM moves pan out, or fizzle, whereas before I might be getting a bit bored by now with only a couple of seasons under my belt.
