good luck to you, I'm still hanging in there with 8 teams, down from 11 prior to the big changes to the game. I have no plans to leave any time soon completely, mostly trying to find the right balance with time / timing of the seasons vs what is the right number of teams to comfortably play. I'm trying to slowly drop teams until I find that comfort level again. I still enjoy setting up rosters / rotations, shot distributions, practice plans, etc same as always, so I plan at least for now to keep participating.
The good news that I see when I drop in on the forums, I'm hoping that some of the calls for advanced stats, or +/-. or maybe nba.com like lineup stats, off/def rtgs's etc, RPM's, TS%, etc get heard. I know a fair amount about all these types of stats, if any of the mods / designers on this site care to pick my brain, I'd be glad to help. IMO that could really increase the popularity of the game, as I would have to think the 'stat geek' crowd is sort of the target audience.
Take care Zags.
