Game lengths.

How long does an average game take and are there options to speed up games? If so what kind of options do they offer?

From my experience, assuming 9 inning games:

Broadcast (without skipping): Around 2 hours

Hybrid (without skipping): Minimally less than that - there's still a lot of scenes.

Fast Play: A little over an hour

Quick Counts: 20-30 minutes

A regular game on hybrid presentation will take anywhere from 30-50 minutes.

With broadcast presentation it can take 40-60 minutes.

With fast play it can take 20-30 minutes.


You can also use Quick Counts which can shorten all of these modes by 5-7 minutes each.

Hybrid is supposed to be somewhere in between Fast Play and Broadcast where it will show less presentations than full broadcast. I think it's a little too close to broadcast, though. I don't feel like there's much of a difference in pace.

Re: Game lengths.

I play broadcast, with no skipping, and make no attempt to rush any plays or pitches. I rarely, if ever get through a game in less than 2 hours. Only downside to that is other than on weekends, I'm only able to play one game per day normally.

Re: Game lengths.

Id say if you played on hybrid and skipped most of the scenes and kept a steady flow while still playing the right way you should be able to get through a game in about 60min. Ive played games that took only 40min and others that took 80min. One thing I will not do is go in full speedracer mode just for the sake of finishing a game quickly. On days where I know I can get a few games in I will slow down the pace and enjoy the sights and sounds of game, but that's not a luxury everyone has when trying to get through a full 162.

Re: Game lengths.

I play on hybrid with quick counts on and let most of the cutscenes play, but skip most of the scenes at the start/end of innings. I can finish a game in about 30 min, depending on what happens in game.

Re: Game lengths.

i play mostly on hybrid now but occasionally Broadcast and it takes roughly a hour to play a game.

but with that said, if you hate pitching for example you could just skip to next half inning or whatever and speed the game up that way as well.

Question answered. There I'd a Q&A thread in the future.
