None - no time.. Created a HH2K2 season a month ago or so, but haven't had
time to sit down and play much..

I hear it happens quite often when you get married, have a mortgage, etc

I love EHM, but OOTP always sucks up all my sim time.

Only if you're whipped. ("Whaaa-chiiissshhh!!!")

Still play around with Eastside Hockey Manager '05 on the laptop when it
gets slow at work. My Moscow Dynamo team will get that Russian Super League
championship title yet....

Play a little NHL '06 here and there, but am thoroughly sick of Madden by
now. Looking forward to OOTP and NFL Head Coach.

I play Strat-O-Matic Computer Football mostly, around 80-90 online
games per year. Also, I play Strat Computer Basketball and have been
running an online league for almost 10 years (www.somiba.com;
www.somiba.com/somifa.html is the Strat football league I run). I've
tried a few versions of Madden including 05 but it just isn't
strategically or statistically realistic in my view (although the
graphics are good). NBA Live 05 was fairly fun but couldn't keep my
interest for long for the same reasons.

I'm more of a hockey fan, so I definitely prefer EH, but I do love my OOTP.
Just wish they had timed the release a little better. That opening day
fever is long gone...especially for Cubs fans like me.

I can play CS for a good 4 hours or more. So, even if the wife needs 30
minutes (and I'm up to the task), I can still get in a good 3:30 on the
computer. Why limit yourself?

I may split time between OOTP and PureSim this year.
