    Season Mode - 82 games - am I the only?

    I play the 82 game sched so I can get 2 seasons in a year and every game means more.

    Anyone else do this and if so - do the minor leaguers ever actually play games and progress in season mode? Do they only progress/regress after the season?

    I go for realism im my chise so it wouldnt be an option. I want to see guys with 40 homeruns 200 innings i wouldnt enjoy a half season for that reason.

      I did one 3 or 4 years ago but an abbreviated season doesn't feel right.
      If I ever do a short season again it will be a 29 game season.
      Talk about things nobody cares.

        29 is too short - I knew from experience that a 162 game season I would never get finished playing every game because it bumped into football. So I can get 2 seasons in one year and have a chance to see minor league players progress.

        Yea - I lose realism but I also actually complete seasons without simming games. I know that when August comes and I still have 30 games to go but now Madden is calling that last 30 get real tough to play.

          If you can't get in one 162 game season how are you able to get in two 84 game seasons?

            82 games - and it's close. The thing is I get two years in and not just one. For me one 162 game season gets monotonous. OH boy - I'm 15 games back with 30 games to go!! I like having playoffs and off season when I'm not so tired of baseball I'm ready for football.

            I played Strat-o-matic since the late 60s in online leagues but that was only 81 home games - now playing offline 162 is just freaking monotonous by the time off season starts I'm burned out.

            This way a season ends and I'm still pumped and can really make some moves and have off season fun and start fresh with a new season. It's awesome with no burn-out because every game still means something.

              I grew up playing strat as well and I don't know if it was a typo or if you just think we are all young-uns here but I know there were no online strat leagues until the late 90's.

              I grew up through the 80's playing it with my neighbors.

                Yea - sorry - PBM back in the old days. My parents gave me my first calculator (SRM-70 I think) that had ALL FOUR FUNCTIONS because I played SOM. My friends brother discovered SOM and I became obsessed about 3 years after it was launched.

                I still love SOM but I need graphics - that is why I was disappointed at the stat package for The SHOW and it's errors (NOT COMPLAINING, don't want to get in trouble again).

                  The beauty of this game is that it allows you to play it in a number of different ways. I choose to play the 162 game regular season, but that is a huge time commitment and I am only 27 games into my season and still have a long long long way to go (only 1/6th into it all). In fact this is my 4th attempt at playing all 162 games and the 3 prior attempts failed. But this year it will be different. LOL ... at least I keep telling myself that.

                    For me, its either ends of the spectrum. A full on 162 of realism, or a 14 game romp to a World Series.

                    Baseball is the only sports game where I literally feel wrong not having it full on realistic everything.

                      So how difficult would it be to implement a "start at current point of season" option in SEASON mode only? Is that a far fetched idea or something that could easily be done?

                        I don't think you'll see something like that because for anyone who wants to start on a certain day they could just sim to that point.

                          LOL - I attempted 162 games I bet al LEAST 10 times thinking that if I stopped at 130 I could pick up the game NEXT year - Next year comes and I start all over new. It was like that in SOM also when I got out of Play By Mail.

                          I literally feel wrong not having it full on realistic everything.
                          I hear that but then I just say I have a new minor league schedule reality. Just gotta shift that thinking.

                          MY problem is Miller Park has no wind in MoM Season Mode which sort of sucks as that is my park.

                            Anyone have experience with a 29 game season?
                            Was wondering how players progress with such low stats.

                            I started one a month or so back, been playing it until the 17 comes out, it's fast-paced and fun but curious about future seasons.
                            Thanks.

                              162 games, it's a long season. But this year i will try to play one game every series and use Quick Manage for the others, jumping in during big innings or just to play some at-bats with my favourite players.
