My Suggestion: Click Watch and you watch.
Your kinda way: Go through hundreds of links,
find Play by Play,
see that there are hundreds of replays,
click each replay one by one
Think about "maybe there's an easier way to do this"
ask in the forums
wait for an answer for a day
go back to the game page
can't find what the reply say, oh well,
go to the play by play again
find out that you can't directly go to the first play or the last, or the quarter
Go through each one, patiently, one by one
wish those DAMN things had keyboard shortcuts for pause or next, but there aren't
make a suggestion so other new users wouldn't have to go through the same struggle
Some smartass says "that already exists"
fight the urge to rage quit the entire game for good.
I agree it would be nice for new users if it was more user friendly. No argument there.
But let me explain how I do it in more detail.
On your home page where it lists the teams you own or GM, you'll see, on each team where it says "last game" it'll have the score, or if you haven't changed from the default it'll say "show score"..click show score...click on the score and that'll take you to the game page..where it has "box score" "play by play" "matchup" and "summary" tabs..they can be hard to notice, but look for them.
Thats where you'll click on play by play, and when that page loads you will be able to look at every play from the kickoff till the final buzzer....so from my home page it's 2 clicks..
It can be hard to figure everything out at first. I encourage you to keep on keeping on. I've been here since the middle of season one and still find things I didn't know or had forgot about. I think that adds to the fun. Hook up with a veteran if you haven't already. Most will be happy to help you learn the ropes.
