That might be fun!

Are you gonna keep them in Washington? I’m doing them as well, but I don’t know if I want to relocate them or not. Don’t know if I can deal with the whole Football Team thing lol

Thinking of Playing the Moments to get through seasons faster. How do you guys play franchise for the long term? I'm talking like 10-15+ years. My OC/HC mode idea is kind of like that. I know I can't do 10-15 years if I control everything and play full games, so how do you go about that? Any creative ideas to make that happen yet feel realistic and immersive?

My idea is to do play the moments for all but 4 games each regular season. This saves a ton of time, while also allowing the true nature of your team's roster rather than pure stick skills to bleed through.

At most, in theory, then the highest you're really taking a typical horrific 2-14 team is 6-10.

Plus, you can still play 4 key games (primetime or divisional or opener) and then your playoffs if you make it.
