No you absolutely cannot.

You didn't even win the Retro Bowl?? How is this run verified?

How does this not count as simulating games? Also you didn't end on the correct screen so I'm not sure how this time got verified.

Well I stopped my run on an earlier screen, but I was also like 10 minutes behind you anyway. Hopefully after I submit my run as well the mods will approve both of them!

Is there a way for someone new to become a mod for a game? I’m not CRAZY knowledgeable about Retro Bowl, but I would at least keep up with it.

I know this is probably too niche to actually get a category, but I've done a few untimed attempts at this off stream and wanted to try to record one. I explain this bit at the beginning of the stream, but it's basically just: Get the "Win the Retro Bowl" Achievement as fast as possible simming every game. I chose some settings to make it as quick as possible and started my timer when I left the setting menu for the first time.

Hopefully someone will see this and think it's worth giving a shot to, but until then I will be streaming runs occasionally to try and get one where I can win the Retro Bowl in the first season.

I show the timer at the start/end of the video but in case you don't feel like watching my PB is 25:44.
