What do you guys like to see in a Dynasty?

So thanks to a late night boo-boo, which meant accidentally saving over my current franchise Idea to run as a Dynasty story here on OS, I am left wracking my brains for a new idea.

I do not want to create 30+ NFL players again... doing it once makes sure it loses its gloss, so that has completely ruled out the idea I was running with. So I am trying to think of what to do now... definitely has to be football, because I like Madden way more than any other sports game.

So what do you like? Informative user written articles? Pictures? Video? Stats? Creative story lines? As close to sim as possible? (Won't happen with my Cowboys, I would never stick with Romo this long lol).

For me I want to do a dynasty that will genuinely entertain people, because that gives me more passion for what I am doing, and I do love getting creative!

Just stick to it and the followers will eventually come. I hate seeing someone start up a really nice dynasty and then just quit and move on.

Yeah I am guilty of that back in 2011 with my NBA Dynasty... I had videos, write ups, stats, you name it... but I strugge to stick out full seaons of basketball, and unforseen personal stuff also combined to ruin that one, but with NFL less games, more passion.... I envision a truly long Dynasty.... contemplating a Player CFM, as a QB... with a slider set that makes it challenging and not as easy as it is currently (All Pro default.... my D does enough that I can win easy enough most weeks).

Cause I know I could get very creative story line wise! Will probably spend a week getting feedback and trying to sort out a new capture device before committing to something. But thank you appreciate your feedback

Good looking graphics and stats help as well.

I kinda feel that people who write articles (myself included) are wasting their time, i.e. most people problem skim through it and locate important points made in it (it doesn't help we're all amateur hacks and aren't used to writing article-style stories. We've been breed to write essays and demanded to add DETAILS!).

I also enjoy reading dynasties that have information outside the team being covered. So, you being a Madden NFL fan, if you played as, say, the Carolina Panthers. As a Bills fan, I want to know how my team is doing. I don't need to know E.J. Manuel's individual stats, but standings and scores from other games help.

Also: I occasionally wander away from the hockey forum dynasty and look in others. I don't comment, but it doesn't mean I'm not following. When you consider that fact, and the amount of page views you accumulate, it makes the user want to continue the dynasty. I've seen far too many dynasties cut because I feel the person doing the dynasty isn't happy with the lack of comments and/or some people post whoring to keep their dynasty atop the forum.
