    I think I average at least an hour a game. I’ll never understand why the game advertised franchise games as 45 minutes

      Because of Fast Play. Finishing a full game in 45 minutes (no quick counts) is pretty doable in 45 minutes when all the presentation is cut.

      Not how I prefer to play, certainly, but they're always going to advertise for the shorter options - and quick counts speeds it up even more.

          All 162, every pitch. Rare exceptions are if a game is totally out of hand and I’ve just had enough, I might sim off the final inning or something.

          I used to not have the patience for this but now I find that every at-bat is of equal importance if you’re truly invested. If a guy is 0-for-3 tell me that next at-bat isn’t pretty important for him, for example.

          I just don’t really want to sim any at-bats anymore just like how I don’t really want my pitchers’ numbers to be skewed in any way by simming.

          Yes it takes forever but the net effect is that, well, every pitch and every at-bat is important to me. And that’s awesome.
          Just one man’s opinion.
          I don’t actually care about any of this.

            I play the first 10 games of a season, and then afterward I play 1 game a series. Postseason is all the games.

            This is how I have done franchise mode for years now and allows me to get through 5+ seasons on each show. I have gone as far as 10!

              Player lock as a created two way player.

              Between 08 and 20 I played RTTS, since 18 I got tired of the archetype restrictions and losing a lot of the ability to customize. Franchise with player lock let’s me customize to my hearts content.

              Another thing I enjoyed was being a closer and going after saves longer than an inning.

                Yeah I use broadcast for opening day and playoff games, and the quicker presentations for others.

                I can easily finish some in 40-45 minutes.

                  That’s one of my resolutions for this year. I want to stop skipping all of the cut scenes and let the game breath a little. I’m an X masher (even though I hate fast play/hybrid)

                    got a few different ways I play, depending on my team ( my only true franchise ((everyone else was a one-&-done season)) was Atlanta 2014-2020, R.I.P. Y2Y )

                    Baltimore & Atlanta: every pitch & AB for all 162 games

                    ChiSox: usually play 1, sim 2

                    Oakland/Seattle: usually just only bat/hit every inning all 162

                    Colorado: usually just only pitch every inning all 162

                    Pitt/Cincy - usually bat the first 3 innings, sim the middle 3 innings and pitch every inning from the 7th inning on

                    I have a handful of times also played full seasons as the Birmingham Barons when franchising as the Pale Hose

                      I play every game but the way I do it is play the first inning, sim 2-5, then play the rest. It gets me through games quicker and I get to use my starter for a few innings and handle all the bullpen moves unless my starter gets shelled while I’m simming

                        I've done something similar in the past if my team is out of the race, but its more like I'll sim all hitting for a game and only pitch, next game I'll do the opposite and only hit. Etc.....

                          I DO use fast play and quick counts and I back this up. With both of those on my games are about 45 minutes. With every pitch fast play about 1:10. I agree that menu number is not the complete picture.

                              Every game, every pitch. No matter what. If I accidentally sim a game, I reload the save file and play it. I've never made it through 2 seasons, however, just able to endure 1 season. It's a VERY long process.

                                I always play every game but on quick counts and with medium cutaways. Has anyone done that while also loading into minor league games to hit for top prospects? I was thinking about doing that this year for the first time and am unsure how much time that would add.
