What are you doing over there??????

This is what my wife asks me after I am glued to the PC screen for hours playing this game........It has to be the most addicting game ever...Thank you Markus!

One question I am taking a poll on what part of this game takes up most of your time? playing the games?, Scouring the waiver wire?, etc....

For me it is reading scouting reports on potential five star prospects and seeing what it will take to acquire them, I hardly ever play the games

I have been put on serious restriction by the wife going back to OOTP 6. The key is to keep your browser up with something important like your e-mail or your stock portfolio. Then when you hear the old lady coming down the hall...quickly minimize the game...and well...you just might be able to sneak in some precious OOTP time that way.

That's a good one, you have to find ways to feed your habit..After 36 years married my wife knows just where to find me in front of OOTP.

I spend the most of my time breaking down stats on excel sheets trying to find the next superstar and when my players will peak, etc. Almost more fun than playing the game.

Tweaking my lineups for the next upcoming game, which I then sim.

I might play out an occasional game, but it's cooler to fine tune your team and players strategy settings. Then, when you're winning, you know you've done something right.

Of course, when you lose, the computer is cheating.
