Simming Patterns for Your Franchise

Re: Simming Patterns for Your Franchise

wow 25 innings that is crazy! The most I have ever had in these games is 16 and I don't play with QC so that 16 inning game took me like 3 and a half hours. A 25 inning game would take me like 5 hours lol.

It was close to a good hour and a half... almost made me late for work. LOL

Re: Simming Patterns for Your Franchise

I normally play with Quick Counts on these days. I play innings 1,2,3... I fast forward to 7th or 8th inning and finish the game. You can get thru a lot of games and still have an impact on each game of the season if you like. 👍

Re: Simming Patterns for Your Franchise

I play the first 10, then use the sim 5 play 1 method with a wrinkle here and there. The main thing I do differently is between starts I will alternate between "straight simming" and "simming with the option to intervene" (in this I start each game Fast Forward to the 7th and intervene accordingly).

Here's my 2015 schedule: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...Kp8/edit#gid=0

I moved some starts around so that I can play every team at least once, play my division opponents at least four times and play on any important dates (Jackie Robinson and Mother's Day for example). I will play 35 games in full, so hopefully I can knockout a season in a month or two.

Edit - I forgot to mention I use QC's in all games.

Re: Simming Patterns for Your Franchise

I play every game the first time or two through the rotation to start the season, then I play one game a series and player lock the rest.

I don't hold myself to that though, if I feel like playing 3 games in a row, then I do it. If I feel like simming an entire series, I do it.

162 games is a lot of games to play every game and I just don't like quick counts, so this is my solution.

Re: Simming Patterns for Your Franchise

I'm curious to see how many games everyone plays during their season......

Do you play every game? Do you simulate 3 games for every 1 played? Do you only play against aces? Etc etc.....

I play every 162 games.
Without quick count

Instead of simming games, I'll put on player lock and RTTS" it through some games.

Can complete a weeks worth in around an hour and you still have an effect on the outcome.

I basically play them all along with several f my minor league games. I might on occasion late int he season sim a couple here and there, but have no certain routine other than to play all that I can.

Re: Simming Patterns for Your Franchise

Playing every game in a season is some serious dedication. Don't think I could do that. I usually sim about 4-5 games per every 1 that I play. I think if I were to play every single game I may get bored of it so I try to stay away from that.

If i'm playing really well and winning a lot, sometimes I will only play the games in which I face the aces i.e - Harvey, Wainwright, Teheran, etc etc. I play with the Dodgers

Re: Simming Patterns for Your Franchise

I'll be doing play 1, sim 5, with quick counts.

Re: Simming Patterns for Your Franchise

I usually play around 30 games a season (NOT including Post Season, where I play them all)

That works out to be about every 5th game or so.

The way I look at it is this:

That gives me, as a player just enough impact on my team to either take them over the hump, or if I'm sucking, maybe even sink them.

I don't want to be the deciding factor though in my team's performance, where I'm, say, 16-2 when I play the games, but my team's sim record is like 5-18. I want to be just that little extra difference, hopefully, that pushes us into the post season. Again, if I'm playing well.

Also, at the end of the season, you'll never see a team more than about 20-25 games back in the division race, so by playing about 30 every year, that means, in theory, if I'm good, I can erase that deficit.

I simply don't have the time/patience to play EVERY game, plus post season. Part of the fun for me is developing new talent, managing the team year to year, etc, and I just wouldn't have time to play more than a season or two if I played many more games.
