Simming RTTS games

[extremeskins04]

Do you guys sim some of your RTTS games whether it's in AA, AAA, or The Show? If so, how many games do you play/sim? Do you have a system you use? I don't want to play every game if possible.

Also do you get less points by simming games than playing them?

Re: Simming RTTS games

Personally, I don't sim any RTTS games. Only because I like to have 100% "realism" and know that all my hits, HR, RBI, etc., were done by me. Really its personal preference I suppose....but for your other question, yes you do get less training points when simming a game compared to playing it.

Re: Simming RTTS games

I never sim from the menu since you get less points, you get more this year, but if you want to save time the best way is to just enter the game, then exit. Longer than simming, but less time than playing the game and you get more points than a normal sim.

I'll usually have two RTTS going at any one time. One I try to play "realistically" as an RPG. The other I only hit and crank up the sliders, lower the difficulty and hit .700 to rack up training points. Just speeds up the process so I can make the player I want. I'll bank points and make a save and then I have a base player I can mold any way I want.

Re: Simming RTTS games

I don't sim any of the games. They go so quick as a non pitcher. I mean it lasts like 10 minutes. Why sim them?

And if you are a SP you only play every 4 to 5 games. You only play in 26-34 games. And those only take 30-45 minutes each. And if you are a CP you play more games, but again only play like 10-15 minutes per game.

I guess I just don't see the point in simming and getting stats you didn't earn yourself since you really are not saving time by doing so.

With my 3B I can play 2a bout 8-10 games in an hour, depending on how well I do (how often I am stuck on base hoping a cpu player does well). Or how many times I get a play called for me in the field.

With my SP I can play two games in a 90 minute play session.

Unless you have your settings to watch the full game, but not sure why you would do that for a full season. I normally turn that on if my team makes the postseason. I don't have time to watch the cpu play the cpu. It gets in the way of me having fun, lol.

10 min x 100+ games per season. You calculate how many hours that is. It saves a ton of time. Not everyone can spend 40+ hours just to get to the big leagues. Throw in all the time in the menus and loading (which take a while on PS4) and it's even longer.

Its 27 (up to 40, depending on 10-15 game sessions) hours to play the entire season. I'm not trying to play them all in one day, lol. I play for a hour or two here and there. I get the full season done in one month. Good enough for me.

Really? You can make points with one RTTS player and use them on another one? Ummm, why didn't i think of this!?

Re: Simming RTTS games

I don't sim at all.

Especially with the new year-to-year saves, there's no reason to rush through it. You could take your time, play every game, get through a couple years and then pick up next year in the exact same spot. I just like being 100% responsible for my stats. If you don't care about that, go ahead and sim away. And do what the other guy said, start a game and then exit right away "sim to end." You'll get the full amount of training points instead of a fraction.

Re: Simming RTTS games

I'm at AAA and my manager decides I should be DH'ng rather than play 2nd so my games are going super quick now..If I go hitless my games are lasting 3 minutes.

I haven't experimented with changing positions that much this year, but the fact sheet said its easier to switch this year so that makes it even easier to make a variety of player types from one main save. As long as you can play well with fairly low ratings you can bank points up fairly easily, on rookie with the sliders turned up its pretty easy and quick if you only hit.

2 RTTS and you can apply the training points from one to the other? Sorry for this question but how do you do it? I made 2 RTTS, same player, same position, different stands etc. So how can i apply the training points from one to the other?

Re: Simming RTTS games

I don't sim any while playing all fielding opportunities and baserunning set to Lead Runner.

Re: Simming RTTS games

I don't sim any games, but I also only play my at bats. I'm a first basemen so it gets pretty boring running to first base. I'm also slow, so no chance to steal any bases. I'll play the field and bases when I make the show.
