I'm picking up the game tonight and am huge into franchise mode. However, I do not know anything but the basics about baseball. I'm going to start a diamond dynasty? with the Pirates but would like a guide on how I should go about it. More specifically I have a few questions which I would love answered.
Are there any easyish slider sets out there for maybe rookie or pro difficulty? I would love to maybe play the first season on an easy difficulty while I learn about the game.
How many innings are pitchers supposed to pitch? I see teams with huge bullpens of pitchers but I don't see how all these guys can realisticly play in season. Furthermore, what are the cons of leaving in pitchers for extended periods of time?
What type of players play in triple A? Would a veteran player go down to get some playing time if the rotation is full on the main team or is triple A exclusively for younger guys you want to develop?
What age do most players begin to decline by/ how fast do players decline?
Does anyone have house rules when it comes to trades and singing free agents, I would like to try and keep this realistic but honestly I have no idea what is realistic in MLB.
How many games do you guys play each season/ what games do you play? If I understand correctly mlb scheduling works so that each team players another in a 3 game series? Maybe I could play 1 home game and 1 away game from each series?
Final question is how long does the average game last in this game? I know madden and 2k tend to take around an hour each and I was wondering if that was the same thing here?
Sorry for all the noon questions but thanks to all who are able to answer any. Cheers!
