Wouldn't that be kind of boring though, especially if you only control one guy? I mean, you said that you start out at the bottom. I'm not quite sure how low you're talking about, because I'm not sure what you meant by "minor league team". But let's say I create a guy and he's drafted in the fifth round. What exactly is the fun in this? If I'm only controlling him, what do I do during games? Most fifth-rounders don't play their rookie year, so I just sit on the sideline and watch each game? I know it's "realistic", but there are plenty of real-life aspects of football that I'd never want to see in a videogame. And assuming that you want it to be as realistic as possible, keep in mind that most fifth-rounders don't negotiate contracts and trades. Most NFLers have their own agent.

Actually I only control one guy now. That is the player I created for myself. And no it's not boring for me.....
Why draft/sign a player with great decision making etc...and then control him and negate his abilities...?

I can see where controlling everyone would be others cup o' tea... but not for me. So where it might be boring for you it has been the only way I have played for a great while...
