    Does anyone do 29-game season mode?

    162 game franchise mode is completely unrealistic for me, even though I'd love to do it. I am also stat up-tight, so simming some games is difficult for me too.

    Does anyone play this mode? I'm curious how much you enjoy it? I've simmed some, and trades don't happen. Do you guys mind this?

    I'm stuck in the middle. I love stats, so I want to see realistic numbers you get from an 162 game season. But at the same time, I can never finish.

      I usually play 30 games then sim the rest of the season. I dont like simming games but I would never finish 1 season if i didnt. I would like a 29 game season in franchise mode..(at least give me the option of having a shorter season in franchise mode)

        What do you enjoy in franchise mode, you can't in season mode?

          I usually do at least one "franchise" of 29 game season a year.

          It would be cool if baseball games could some how mathematically decifer what say 12 HR's would be over a span of 162 games and have them as an option to show up.
          Its all about division, dont know how hard it would be to pull off tho...

          so picture after opening day game it would give u an estimate of the first 2/3 weeks of the season, so lets say Jimmy Rollins goes 1 for 4, it could somehow just pretend thats what happened for the next 14 games...

          I dunno its complicated but if industry could find a way to get solid estimates of a season long of statistics in a 29 game season, I'd never play 162 games ever again.

            I go with 14 game seasons...they need random pitch count like in All Star Baseball did years...why has this not be included in the game?

              Simming wouldn't bother me so much if slappy hitters didn't hit 40 hr (Ichiro)

                I like the shorter seasons but I don't like it that the season only lasts 3 weeks. I wish they would spread the season out. Like have a 32 game season that lasts 4 Work months. Play 1 or 2 games a week.

                  I play the first game of every series and then sim the next two or however many it is for the series. I do plan on playing all my postseason games though if I happen to make it in.

                    Hoping for a playoff/world series mode this year!

                      What I do is I play the division games only. Then around the beginning og August if I'm in the thick of the wild card and/or division race I will start playing all of my games.

                      If I happen to be out of it by that time then I will play what I like to call 'spoiler games' and try to screw the couple of teams that I dislike in my division or league.

                        i had never even opened the season mode and had no idea there was a less than 162 game option! i'm pumped and that's what i'm going to do over the next few months.

                          I like this mode (short season) for the classic/legend rosters. Just wish I could play the 85 Cardinals on turf with the blue uni's. LOL

                            I just fired this season up, I'm going to enjoy the games and not worry about stats or anything like that for now. I'm thinking for gauging greatness I'll just start a new MLB record book for the "Post Modern Era".

                              I can't do any shortened seasons in my games... I have to have that realism factor. 162 games + playoffs is pretty daunting, but I'll end up simming some of the games along the way.
