Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Re: franchise length?

I don't have time to play every single game either but, I don't want shorter seasons because then you wouldn't have the chance to go after records and such. If this were a perfect world I would play every game but, given my schedule and every thing going on, I just don't have the time.

Here's how I play..... Usually, I will play every game the first month of the season (that way I have a decent statistical foundation). Then from then on out I will play five games per month (one with each starting pitcher). However, one thing I will do is go into every game and SIM to the 6th or 7th inning then intervene as, I see fit. Now does it suck that I have to SIM some games? Yes. I do feel like I miss something from each game. But, for me it's either play every game and maybe play one complete season or SIM some games and play multiple seasons. So, I choose to SIM.

Some other way's to play would be to play each game with the starting pitcher of your choice or play every game on a certain day (every Sunday game for example).

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

this question may have been asked and answered already and if so I apologize, but did anyone see any in game injuries while playing?

I did not see any. Does not mean they do not exist though.

Re: franchise length?

I like to play all the games, madness to some but at the end of the day I like to feel that the statistics are mine.

However some options that may help are:

Play all Home games only or play all Road games only?

For less games, play the opener from each series? Or even just the final game of a series?

Maybe you could play just in division games?

Its difficult, but go with what you feel rewards you the most in; personal satisfaction of player performance/stats and team achievements.

Have they done anything with the fatigue model for pitchers? Relievers should tire faster but bounce back quicker than they have in the past imo.

I think we have to wait and see. I know reliever logic was worked on. Not sure if that included fatigue though.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

This may have been answered already but I was wondering if they improved on stat tracking in Franchise Mode. I love looking at the stats and The Show never has enough for me. Are there more this year?

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I'm wondering if outside of the 30 man control, are the budgets more suited to real-life? I know Knight said in his Franchise write-up that teams would make intelligent trades based on their budget, record, etc. (i.e. Salary Dump Trades, or trading a star for prospects before the deadline)

I like the 30 team control, but I would like to actually have to work and make smart trades, signings as the franchise rolls on, so that I don't have to take over and self-police.

So anything said on this?

Re: franchise length?

What I do is play a game with my #1 starting pitcher, then sim 5 games which then allows you to use your #2 starter. I then sim another 5 games and it's #3 starter time and so on. It works out to about 27 games a season and you pitch with each of your starters about 5 times.

No sir.

Stat tracking is pretty much the same this year.

Yes...three...and you can choose...start or middle of inning(I don't think it was end of inning...but I may be wrong).
