I have been playing this game for over a year...I just love it but not sure how to play, what I mean manager or a gm....standard game or historical game or play with fictional players and teams. ...I keep starting over again and again....I just can't seem to figure out which direction I want to go with this game....I tried managing....but I found it a bit limiting, as a GM i found it a complex like I have no idea what What I was doing I I spent playing the game simulating weeks a but too much, just seems as a GM i'm just lost...I do not know maybe I'm just missing the big picture but at the same time this is the greatest game ever created at the same time I have never ever enjoyed a game so much maybe I'm just have not have so much fun in my entire life...I'm just missing out on something but i just cannot pinpoint it, i just wish i could find within me what direction I want to go with this game.....any thoughts or suggestions? really could use some advice here please and yes I preordered ootp22 as soon as it was availabke

Have you ever thought about simply playing the game as a fan/commissioner/historian? I started playing this way somewhere around OOTP14 or 15 and it's now pretty much the only way I play. I simply create leagues and observe. I don't manage or gm at all. Sometimes I pick one team to follow and I watch all that teams games play out over the season. Other times, I simply pick a random game or two to watch each day. It's a blast to watch a league take on a life of its very own as it build history year after year. This method of play is clearly not for everyone, but just thought I would mention it, because it may be something you end up enjoying.
