Bilfert is back after an absence. Man O War hasn't played Live since I started in 2007 I don't think. habsfan1 stopped playing 4-5 months ago.
Clearly there are fewer players in Live and on the sim side than there were 4-5 years ago. Given the economy, that's hardly surprising. Those who are playing mostly do a great job getting lots of games in. I'm averaging about 110 live games per league, which is as high as it's ever been. Obviously it would be great to have long-gone good owners like coles come back.
