    Re: Shortened MLB schedule

    No Thanks I don't want a fake MLB season in my game and have Covid ruin more things.

    Just on this whoever wins the world series this year will forever be tainted and be known as a 'fake' win. I wouldn't want my team to win it all. think of the nats there 18-31 start last year. the team would have finished miles below 500. and a team like Seattle may have made the playoffs with their hot start.

    This will favor bad teams and someone could fluke a fake world series this year, I wish it was just called a 2020 tournament that is unique, world series should NOT exist in 2020 with this season

        haha I see your point but as far as I am concerned 2020 has been the only REAL season going on in my life this year lol.

        We don't need empty stadiums and shorten seasons also ruining our 'fake game' as well. it's the closest thing to "real baseball' we have right now it';s actually been the best year I have enjoyed playing the game because of it. felt like it really is my own world. I would be happy without a season this year.

          One one hand, patching in a 60 game season would satiate those who keep complaining about only having a choice of a 162 game season. But I wonder if those same people are already complaining that the real 60 game schedule is too short for the players to determine season standings.

              Whomever wins this year's World Series is going to go down as a team that was able to overcome more adversity than any other team has ever faced in the history of the league.

              It'll be far from tainted... And that goes for the NBA, NHL and all other pro sports leagues.

              This is going to be the hardest championship ring any player will ever win.

                  This is a good reason to readd shortened seasons back to the game for next year and season mode too.

                    Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like it would take a lot of work to patch in the 60-game schedule as an option in addition to the original 162-game schedule. Would be great because it would provide different Interleague opponents than the original 2020 schedule and the 60 games would be manageable to complete.
                    It's on me. I shook his hand too hard. It was a hard ... kind of a slap-shake.

                      Some things that would also have to change besides number of games:

                      * Minor league schedules/seasons would have to be altered as well

                      * Phases would have to be re-done to account for shorter season as well as when those things take place (draft, roster expansion, playoff eligibility cutoff, etc...)

                      * Game would have to account for returning to "normal" for the next season and change the phases and other changes back to "normal"

                      * Salaries would have to be re-calculated since they now use weekly budgeting
                      I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                      I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                        Keep the 162 game schedule, but have the 60 game schedule as an option.

                          Any stats from 2020 should not count ever. Should be just a “unique” year

                          Look at the standings after 60 games last year.

                          This favours bad teams, Seattle had a what 17-2 start ?? Yankees 5-9?? Mats 18-31

                          Astricks and tainted 2020 season.

                            bad take. there will be debate about legitimacy of WS champ but saying no stats should count makes zero sense

                              so you are saying that if someone gets a average of 400 in 60 games. that will be known as a record season to have a average of 400 because it was in 60 games not 162??

                              Or a pitcher with a ERA of 0.54 because in 10 starts rather then 28 he now pitched the greatest season of all time ?

                              this is why they shouldn't count.
