Hmm, whatever could be turning people off from Live. It's a mystery. 

sorry josh...u r right as usual.

and this conversation didnt' involve a sacrifice bunt wow

I would like to consider myself a live regular and although I don't mind seeing the same group of guys in every league anymore atleast you know you can get the games in, not trying to bash any newbies but when I see them in leagues I instantly think that if their team sucks they aren't going to make minimum.  I recently missed my minimum for the first time and damn near lost sleep over it (not really but it did **** me off), and it wasn't because I wasn't on enough it was because I got a slow start on the season and got behind the early rush of games so all the "quiters" were done playing and I couldn't find the games. I think only 5 or 6 teams in the NL made the minimum.  I don't think there is a solution to the problem, it is about self pride in your team, even if you drafted a bunch of underachievers play the games.  I think josh posted once that sometimes you have to find a reason to play with a team, awards are a great example, I like it when some of my guys win ROY, SS, or GG and I take pride in "helping" win those awards. 

There is also something to learn from every team you build, whether it is to use a guy again, try and steal, who is a sleeper, who is just a guy that sucks for the money that he is worth. Keeping track of stats will help you with the next team you build.

Good point Bastan. I try to learn and get better with each team.  Also observing who other people use and how they do for them as well as their home parks has helped alot in improving my teams.  Definately alot to gain and learn.

hey i suck and i at least try to make mins if not more. obvs you guys know that ive had issues but im trying..i am also trying to recruit to wis too.

Live is the NUMBER 1 reason that the WIS site is so good.  I have had problems getting guys to get the min. games in with the leagues I create, but I don't know why.  My best guess is that you might have 2-3 games freeze in a day, and guys get sick of it and give up......I have come close to that too, but I always come back.
