Play 162
-
Does anyone here play the whole season without simulating? Being old-school I love being solely responsible for accumulating stats. The downside would be the inability to remake a roster in the short term because it takes so long. Just curious what other people do.

I do. I play ST games on dynamic difficulty, around week 3 or 4 I will slowly start dropping the slider to get it locked in.
Then begin the season on opening day.

Yes. I play all games. And control all roster moves except scouting (auto) last year was the first time through 2 full seasons for me.

That's a great idea! I was also thinking about playing with a AA squad and not controlling anything but the game play. This way I was at the mercy of call ups/trades and had to adapt my lineup.

I usually sim pitching, unless it's a young guy I'm trying to develop. I might sim AB's with guys I don't care about.
-
I do but is there a way to customize the schedule after the first season?
-
I play every inning of every game in my 162 game season. It takes me a good 4 months to play a season. I do play some RTTS along the way to just break it up. I would say I play Franchise 80% or the time RTTS the other 20%.

I used to play every 6th game. But last couple years I have managed to play full 162's. It's tough but rewarding.
-
I play every game, every pitch, all that! I just wish that ratings and face updates happen even after you start your franchise.
-
I play most of the games starting with the 2nd season. It takes me about a month to finish a season. Ihave a lot of time on my hands since I'm retired.

I play every game start to finish with the Giants and the A's. I keep my roster up to date by turning injuries off and sending injured players to dbl A and optioned players to triple A. If I don't have a player in the game I simply steal a nobody free agent and create the player. I control any transactions so when an injured player runs out of options I allow him to be waived and go to free agency where I'll pick him back up when he comes off the IR. This all takes a lot of time and effort but being retired, I'm able to get it done. This method gives me the most realistic results when the other teams simulate against each other but even though I've adjusted sliders to help the CPU , I still beat the hell out of the CPU with the Giants and A's. I play with hall of fame Hitting and Legend pitching. At the all star break I'm hitting .308 with the Giants and .299 with the A's. Both teams are in first place by 10 games or more. I'm thinking it's probably time to go to legend hitting.
-
That's my normal way to play -- a full 162 game schedule plus post season, without simulation. I also use the lock player option and so my Franchise is played out more like RTTS with the overall control of the setup that Franchise provides.
-
I play every game of my 162 season.
