The Texas Open - Final Round Leaderboard

Tie for 5th place money is not what Chucky had in mind at the turn. However, a -2 for each round proves how maddeningly consistent he is. Where's his menace stat that makes everyone quake in their boots and play like crap?

I've not had time recently to continue building new courses and we are rapidly closing the gap between what's available to play and what we've already completed. I'm going to need some time to finish a few more courses...

I've come to the point where my involvement has waned a bit and my training and SOP instructions are just carried over from previous ones. I think a break from action - for me at least - would do me good.

This probably begs the question of "is anyone enjoying this enough for me to continue to do the dynasty?"

I think the pieces of the game would be easier to understand and play if you had an interface that provided you with ongoing detail rather then getting everything explained to you. In fact, the game would probably be more fun in this scenario if I simplified it a bit. Anyway, just curious if I should continue, please let me know your thoughts?

I am, but I don't suck awful either. It's been fun to follow along. I think you do a great job with your interactive dynasties. This one has been fun, but if my guy was awful I'd need to retool him somehow or be able to improve. Failing that, I'd lose interest. To that end, if you don't want to continue I'd understand.

I'd be happy to continue, I like interactive sports projects
