Is there some prerequisite requirement that I'm missing or something?

Just keep posting. There's an undisclosed number of posts you need before starting a thread (not too many).

Is there a way to sticky this or something? As a new poster, I have tried starting a couple franchises on here but kept learning to do something new etc. This has been a great resource for me and I feel like it could be for everyone else just getting into this. Great post!

Bumping this, as it's a wonderful thread.

I've been posting updates in the dynasty thread in the NCAA forums. I want to start reporting but I fear that as soon as I start a thread, it'll begin to feel more like a chore and I'll fall off quickly. How do you avoid that?

Also, I play sim only so a lot of the things that you could use a fodder for your updates by being in the game, I don't have. What's a good way to make a sim-only dynasty engaging. At the end of the day, if there's no engagement then what's the point of maintaining a report...

Figuring out a cadence that works for you is important. Is it once a week, every other week, once a month? Whatever you feel is the right amount of updates is going to be what keeps you interested.

Playing sim doesn’t mean things don’t happen. Be creative, make up events that happened within the game. Someone left with a knee injury and came back in the fourth to win the game. So what if it didn’t happen, we don’t know any better. You get to make the content in a sim environment, which can be a lot of fun because it’s a completely blank canvas. Playing every now and again is great, but if you don’t just be creative with it.
