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'm 65 and play it. I started out with strat-o-matic baseball in the 70's and just two years ago decided to play on a Playstation. I did play in the early 200's with High heat, Triple Play but once it moved away from the PC I stopped all gaming until 2 years ago.
Now, I am excited about the NCAA football game, and hopefully next year a Nascar game that can be as good as N2003 from Sierra/Papyrus.
I play franchise mode and RTTS mode. I finally got to a 99 in my RTTS, as a 1B with the Astros that drafted me in the 5th round.
In franchise mode I am playing the the Baltimore Orioles and neck and neck with the Yankees for the division lead with a little over a month to go in the season. I will make the playoffs but I do not know if I will have to go in as a wild card team.
I play simulation, with pitching on Legend and batting on All-star.

I play RTTS along with my franchise. To me I would like to see RTTS step up and make it more in depth about the player off the field. These hitting, fielding, pitching improvement session on off days get very boring, same old thing all season long.
First off i would add more of the player agent interaction. I have not had my agent show up since I was drafted and signed and I am in my 3rd season.
Second, I would like to see the team you were crafted by trade you away when you are in the minors a lot more. When in the majors, still trade you if there is a need to help the team you are playing for.
I would like to add the A ball league, even if it will be generic players with a mix of real players there. It is part of being a major league player, playing through the minor leagues. Maybe even if you are doing well, being called up while in AA as some do now these days.

You get to the point in time where you start ramping up for the next years game. I think overall this years game is good and now SDS can just add to the game for next year. I have not problems with them just putting out roster updates.
Overall I think MLB The Show was a good game that provided everyone a enjoyable time. Let us now all work toward next March for and more beefed up game with some new twist and turns added in.
