Re: Franchise Notebook
I love writing, so I figured why not use my franchise as a tool to practice more.
So I use Microsoft Word, and pretend I am a beat writer for the Jays, and I write about each game. (Half page to page long summary of what took place) And then a few notes from the box score.
Does my girlfriend find this incredibly nerdy? Ohhh hell yes!
I think it's kinda neat to have each game documented.Comment

Franchise Notebook
Dynastycentral.com anyone?
Well if anyone hasn't heard of it, basically people would report their video game dynasties on there, everyone would read them, pretty tight knit website..
Anyway I started doing dynasty reports on that website for every sports video game I had at about 13 years old (I'm 25 now). About 2 months ago I rediscovered every notebook for every franchise I had ever made.. I'm talking 4-6 page reports for each game, weekly wrap ups, draft preview writeups, html coding and everything..
I sat there for hours just reading them all letting nostalgia fill me, it brought back great memories, staying up late hammering out dynasty reports nerding out haha.
So to answer your question yes, I keep little notebooks for my dynasties, it makes it so much more in depth, and not to sound like a complete nerd but it is a lot of fun to look back at all that stuff down the road... Highly recommend it.

Re: Franchise Notebook
I always go with the play 1 and sim 5 rule. Obviously, it bothers me that the stats I see aren't all 'mine', so I document all the box scores from the games I play. I track everything (singles, doubles, hpb, runs, rbi, holds, hits allowed, etc.). At the end of the season I compare my personal stats to the season totals for my guys. Hopefully, it ends up pretty close to the average.
It's also a good way to see what guys you can and cannot perform with. I had a Marlins franchise last year and couldn't do anything with Stanton.

Re: Franchise Notebook
I played MVP 2005 for five years, thanks to the community of mvpmods.com and all the third-party tools and add-ons. I have hardcopy summations of every franchise I have played from these great games since 1987(listed chronologically): Lance Haffner Full Count Baseball, Earl Weaver Baseball (5 seasons), Tony LaRussa 2, Tony LaRussa 3, Tony LaRussa 3-1996, Front Page Sports:Baseball, High Heat 2000, High Heat 2001 (5 seasons), MVP 2005 (5 seasons). Near the end of my MVP days, I started using Excel spreadsheet to keep my simming history, which continued with The Show 13 (2 seasons), to currently The Show 15 (2nd season). I play all my seasons day-to-day in real time, featuring all 30 teams by playing a series, cpu-v-cpu, in each ballpark at least once. I also watch every postseason game. I will buy The Show 16 at the end of the season, download a final roster update in September and play Hot Stove over the winter until spring training 2017. I only play 1st year franchise because I am never happy with player progression or the way retirements are handled leading to a franchise year 2. If I am happy with the iteration of the game I currently own, I don't mind waiting to buy, or even missing a newer version of the game.Comment

Re: Franchise Notebook
Well...they are real stats and records....just from a fictional baseball universe(of sorts.....actually a parallel baseball universe as it's real players and teams!)

Re: Franchise Notebook
If those fall into the wrong hands, well let's just say, didn't we learn anything from The Great Cardinals-Astros Database Hack?
