This forum has been great with ideas regarding how to have a good dynasty experience, from recruiting strategies, to sliders, etc.

Now, what are your thoughts on playing v. simming games in a dynasty. In the past, if I play every game, I tend to get burned out on the game. Let me know your view...

Play all? Play most, sim sure fire wins?

I sim cupcake games, usually. Nothing less enjoyable than taking a 44-0 halftime lead and having to essentially 'wait' a half hour for the game to end.

And, believe it or not, I sim roughly half my bowl games. After playing the Ohio State game, I feel like the season's over, and unless I'm going for a 10-win season or a NC, the bowl game just gets in the way of getting the next season started.

Otherwise, I play them all.

To avoid getting burned out this year I'm going to try playing no more than one game per day (and only on six minute quarters).

I like being in complete control (and knowledge) of my statistics and injuries. Nothing is more annoying than simming a game and having your studs get injured.

I play every single game. Always have, always will.

actually - injuries are a reason that i do feel like simming gives a better experience. Part of the challenge always is being forced to play unproven players because of injuries. and, i still don't get many injuries during games played.

I do rosters, and play all games the first four seasons. That usually gets me to Madden time and then I will play big and rivalry games and sim others to keep in step with my Madden franchise. 2010-2010, 2011-2011, etc....

I play every game, but my only interest is in playing my teams season out. I really appreciate that EA put the options in to have the CPU do the off-field coaching stuff. Once I finish the first season I'll start up the next one, as long as I'm interested. It's fun to try and improve on the season record.

I can't stand not being in complete control of my team's destiny so I play every game. Don't want the cpu deciding an upset for me....other than the all might momentum meter of course.
