I've been playing for 12 versions now I think. I spend the majority of the time that I am watching shows with the wife playing OOTP at the same time. I get a few games in at intermission of hockey games and I will generally play while watching the Jays.

Now that football is over, I see a lot of lazy Sunday mornings playing as well until the weather warms up here.

I bring my laptop with me on work trips and vacations and always get some time in then as well.

I play out every game, and I have finally got a league that I am happy with after quite a few where I started, got several years in and didn't like the set-up.

My league now is 30 teams, 6 divisions of 5, fictional, and based around the Great Lakes. No city can be further than a 6 hour drive from a Great Lake. So the compass points where teams are located are as follows, with every other city located inside this boundry:

- SW - Quad Cities, Iowa
- W Minneapolis
- NW - Thunder Bay (also the furthest north)
- NE - Montreal (also the furthest east)
- SE a line from Montreal to Pittsburgh (encompasses Rochester and Syracuse and I think Albany may be a minor league team)
S - Cincinnati (though I think Louisville may be an AAA team)

All minor league teams are near to their parent teams so the minor leagues mirror the parent league.
