    How Many Of You Play All 162 Games?

    Last year was my 1st yr owning a PS3 and my first year playing MLB The Show.

    REALLY enjoyed it...but my Franchise ground to a halt around ate July and early August...I just couldnt finsih it off.

    I'd like to play multiple seasons but I HATE simming...I like earning al of my stats...but there is no option to play a shorter schedule.

    What to do..what to do...

    I have tried numerous times but failed each time. I need to come up with a new plan of attack!

          I have the last 2 years. I learned from a ex member here(who should still be a member) that if you play one franchise game a day it doesnt get old. I tried that the year before last and it worked. I just follow along with the real season and it works out beautifully.

            I have tried as well but usually decide to sim games and make roster moves til the playoffs. I am big on taking mediocre or bad teams and rebuilding them.

              In MLB '07 for PS2 I got to 110 games with the Mariners. Most I've ever done in any sports game.

              My problem is that I don't like playing with the same team so many times, and with baseball it's the same team you're using against the same team 3-5 times. I get bored and try to space out the games or play them all at once which is what I did in 07. But I think if one plays at least one game and even half of another one and saving the progress one can do it.

                  162 is just too many if you want to do a Franchise. Yeah you might be able to get the season done but any more than that is practically impossible for most people. If you want to do a multi-year Franchise but still play I suggest either 1 game a week or 1 game a Series.

                      I have never played all 162 games in a baseball game, and I am in my mid-30s and have been playing video games since I was a kid. I am really going to give it a try this year. I like building teams up and doing multiple seasons so I typically sim a lot, but being a Mets fan I enjoy playing with them the most. I think I can get through an entire season this year.

                          Last year I took the giants to the world series playing every game only to lose to the red sox. Despite losing it was probably the best video game experience I've had in 20 odd years knowing I got them there myself!

                          This year I want to rebuild the Indians so I'm going to play one game per series. That way I can hopefully do multiple seasons.

                            I run a few seasons one I play complete the next I only try and play with me in the lineup using fast forward ,which is why I wish they would make it so you have more options for fast forwarding like per at bat , right now if Its within 4 guys coming up I will play that inning.

                            And then last being only the pitcher

                              I'm big on rebuilding the last time I have was in 05 MVP. I haven't played the show yet but just bought a ps3 so I'm hoping to do what I did back then. Me and my friend would take a team then it was the rays pretty much go through them and make them are own but do go crazy out of are starting 5 pitchers we had two pitchers that we liked but didnt care to play with so we always simmed those pitchers starts. Doing that it really goes by fast to be honest your playing 3 simming 2. Then if they start having a really good season u start playing with them and sim someone that is struggling with you.

                              I also like to find a player that has always been going but never given the chance to be a every day starter and then last piece 1 very soild minor league that starts the whole season for you as a rookie. Back then we used David Wright
