Re: Buying or sticking with last years
This is just a guess but I don't see that happening this year or ever. And I'm a guy who likes to say never say never, but unless they bring back a true season mode that doesn't have MiLB, we're never seeing a reduced scheduling option in franchise mode.
There are times where I don't want to play a 162 game season so I play either a 54 game season by playing every third game after simming the first two, and more recently with the new scheduling the last couple years, playing a 29 game season by playing each team once and simming the rest. But that one is less appealing to me than a 54 game schedule.
Even if I go 29-0, there's no guarantee I'm playing October baseball but 54-0 gets you a great shot at the post-season, even if you are playing with the worst team because every team is usually (not always but like 99%) going to win at least a third of their games and lose at least a third of their games. It's that remaining third that is the difference between a team winning 54 games or 108. So by that reasoning. going 54-0 and then assuming I'm sim winning at least a third of the remaining 108, that should at least get me to to 90 wins.
Having said all of that tho, I understand why a lot of people are hesitant to sim even one inning of 1400+ innings, but once I overcame my initial reluctance to do any simming the first year they removed season mode (MLBTS18), playing a 54 game schedule and simming 108 is as much fun for me as playing all 162.
