Is there any chance of being able to watch your game in the future? I know it is a simulation league but I know I would love the chance to watch the game live even if it is just dots moving around. I think it is something that would make this great site even better. Any thoughts?

Not sure i understand what you're asking to watch. If you want to watch the game play by play as if it's playing out for you, go to the first replay and then just click next play through the whole game.
To you it will seem as if it's live even if the game simmed 34 minutes ago. Not sure how it will be any different if you watch it like that or if each time you click next play, the sim engine sims and plops out the next play for you to watch?

CNinja-Sorry I looked though that link you posted and didnt see anything like this in there before i made the first post
alindyl-I would just like to watch it live like you would a real football game and see the game get played out at once instead of looking at it play by play

You can set the replay to auto-advance play, if that's what you want? Beyond that, I can't see how much more "live" looking it could get, unless Bort starts cutting away from the action to commercials and messages from your local station.

As antonine said, there isn't much more you can get to make it "live" than the options we already have.
Lets ask this another way, how do you watch a game now? When a game finishes, do you click the "watch" link and it starts running the pbp run down one play at a time?
From that 1 play at a time list you can click the first replay. That is the opening kickoff. Then you can watch the next play, or as antonine said, turn on autoadvance and it will play the next play without having to touch anything.
For example clicking this link http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=1926743&mode=pbp&hide=1 should give you a text one play at a time run down, if you click the first replay it will open that replay. You do not have to go back to the pbp text to get the next replay. Just click the next play button, or turn on auto play. This will be just like watching a game live, or as close to it as you're going to get minus the 3-5 minute commercials +20 min halftime commentary.
Do you want players running around the field after every play? They are working on adding that random stuff into the sim after plays for the flash version. They actually ran it out at one point by mistake but it's never going to be a "live" game since it's just number calculations and formulas. The sim is just a representation of that. The sim happens far too quickly for you to actually watch each play as it happens and there is no point to sim 1 play at a time as someone watches it.
Plus, who gets to watch the game sim live? 1st person who clicks it? owner? which owner? It's just not possible. This isn't a single player game. It has to be simmed and then the results can be viewed by whoever wants to watch it.

Yeah, that was controlling it while simming, e.g play calling, tactics, etc. I don't see how it's really possible to see it live...you can go to the "Today's Game" tab where the results are hidden and see the game from play 1 to the end via play-by-play.

Stupid question here...but you do realize you can actually watch the game with dots already, right?
If not...this is the 1st play of 1 of your games today. Click the bottom left blue button (Replay Options) & select "Auto Go To Next Play". The game will playout entirely without clicking anything else (well...except after a defensive TO which I still cannot believe they haven't fixed)..
