    Do you start a game even though you know you can't finish it

    I play every pitch and don't press x between pitches or innings to speed up a game. A game takes me around 2 hours to play. With a busy household, there are times when I know I only have about an hour to play. So I start the game and get 4-5 innings done and save. Sometimes it can be a few days before I can continue the game. But when I get back in to the game it feels different somehow. I guess I'm not "in the zone" anymore, especially if I was hitting well. CPU pitchers seem to get an energy boost somehow. Am I just imagining this? Do you only start a game if you know you can finish it?

    I do....but I only manage the games, so I guess it's different in that respect.
    I certainly would feel like it's a different game if I was hitting/pitching.

      I swear the dev's told us we would have the ability to play a whole 3 game series this year without exiting out back to the main screen. Did they just make that up? I don't see the option to play the next game when I finish a game in my season.

        That's only in Road to the Show, I believe.

          I think it's just in your head. I've been using the In-Game Save for years. I'll start a gm hoping to finish, esp if it's late @ night only to save cause I'm to tired! Lol.
          It's just getting back in the feel of game from the layoff I believe. Gotta get warmed up! 😜

            in franchise, you don't have to go to the main menu to play the next game after the game is over it goes to the schedule and from there you can select the next day and start the game.

              I know a lot on these forums trump the year to year save as the best feature they've ever added to The Show but for my money it's the in game saves that are the best feature as I almost never get to complete a full game in one sitting.

                All the time. I'll either do an in-game save or just suspend the game when I put the PS4 into Rest Mode.

                  Yes I start a game sometimes only knowing I can go three innings. Thank goodness for in-game saves, or I'd probably have a chance to finish a month on the schedule. I'm still on PS3.

                    In game saves was the best thing. But if you use player lock it doesn't work properly because all your turns are automatically fast forwarded!

                      I use suspend mode sometimes as well, but I am always worried I'll lose power or something, so I save most of the time.

                        I normally won't start a game if I know I can't finish it.

                        On the occasion where something comes up and I have to leave, I will save it, but I agree that it's never the same when you come back. I think its just the fact that a baseball game 'evolves' as you play through, and when you stop for an extended period of time you lose that.

                        I even struggle if I have to pause for 10-20 minutes...

                          There's alwayse time for baseball. The dishes might be piling up, or my brother might need me to carry him to get some groceries, hell, even if the house were to be on fire, I'll be danged if I don't get my nine in. Baseball be serious business

                            While I usually don't start a game without the time to finish it, I'm often on call for work, so things can change in a hurry. In-game saves are essential to me.

                              Do ingame saves only work in franchise mode or also in exhibition or postseason?
