Franchise mode simulation question?

Re: Franchise mode simulation question?

I personally feel like this is ruining the game for the guys who actually like to grind in franchise, the dev team is constantly trying to cater to people who want to play the game without wanting to play the game.

Just try player locking with a different person each day, each game will take a a minute or two. Unless you player lock with a pitcher, but even those games won't take long.

Re: Franchise mode simulation question?

For my franchise that I don’t play all 162 games, I usually play one game in every series based on pitching matchup, importance, etc. And then sim the rest. I play every postseason game unless I’m up 2-0 or 3-0. Then I’ll sim until it’s 2-1 or 3-2. Except in the World Series. I play all of them.

I played all 162 last year for the first time. I haven't decided if I'm going to grind again this year or not.

Re: Franchise mode simulation question?

I will be back to playing all 162 fully with the Phillies this year. I got sucked into DD last year and pretty much ignored Franchise. I miss it too much. I may do a second Franchise with another team that would be quick managed with critical situations played. Haven't decided on a team for that yet.

I did it once in the 90s, over the summer when I was in college, and then it took me about 15 years to do it again.

However, I do it about every other year now. Not always in my first franchise. Sometimes one that I start in the Autumn and continue, off and on, into the following Spring.

Re: Franchise mode simulation question?

I like to be the GM more than anything, so I sim whole seasons. I do wish they could figure something out though where you can acquire the "missing piece" player. I find that my teams are either clearly the best or terrible. There are rarely any good races where picking up that shut down 8th inning guy can put me over the top.

I play a ridiculous amount of the show. I usually play around 40 games a season. I try to play one a series, but will sometimes skip one here or there.

I play every playoff game obviously. I've gotten past season 10 two years in a row.

Re: Franchise mode simulation question?

I've seriously played through July of my 3rd season and haven't simmed a single game. I do it every year. At least 3 years. But I'm a QC guy. I love it.
My emersion starts to wane if I sim even one game ever.

I play every home game in the regular season. I simulate the road games unless I really need to win them.

So you Clemens it, Roger. Over and out.
