What will you play first?

Re: What will you play first?

Probably going to jump right into franchise.. unless OSFM is that important and i should wait?

If you decide to wait, you won't be disappointed.
Of course there's nothin' wrong with startin' off with a practice Franchise till OSFM drops.

Just be warned, if you start a franchise before OSFM you'll be starting a new one when it comes out. I can't see how someone couldn't resist and continued with their launch roster franchise or RTTS. Think of it like a practice like dingleberry said. It doesn't feel complete until OSFM comes out.

Re: What will you play first?

I did my mlb 12 franchise without it but im still weighing my options for 13

I just dive into the franchise and play. I do create the Top 100 prospects or thereabouts, and then start.

By the time the rosters come out, I'm well into my first year.

With the launch rosters? You never started a new one with more up to date/accurate rosters?

It really does change the game considerably even if it doesn't seem so.

Re: What will you play first?

I didnt buy the system or game till October (made transition from 2k/360 so the launch roster and OSFM is all new to me. I played my franchise with the live roster that was there when i got the game. (last or second to last update they had) so there was really no reason to start a new one. also, i didnt know about osfm when i got the game but doesnt wanting to start over apply to osfm spring training, opening day, mid season, trade deadline updates as well?

That changes everything. I was assuming you had a choice to wait for OSFM or just start.

I think those invested in franchise deeply, who want to take one team for many years, wait for at least the first OSFM. I don't know if they restart every update since they may have invested a long time already in that franchisse. I have restarted with a new roster, but it wasn't because the new roster came out.

Re: What will you play first?

For me, I'll do what I did last year. I'll start by playing a good ole fashion Subway Series game at the updated Citi Field. Then I'll get my Diamond Dynasty team going with the uniforms and some of the players. Play a few games both on and offline. I don't know if I want to look at the playoff mode right away or wait until I actually earn a spot in the playoffs with my Mets Franny that I'll start after the OSFM Roster comes out. Same with RTTS, I'll probably wait until the rosters come out. Unless I want to test out the new catcher mode in RTTS, to see if I have to call every pitch of every game. If I do have to, I'll be really bummed out because I am the varsity catcher for my high school so I would like to be a catcher in RTTS but it is impossible to sit through every game.

Can't Wait!

Re: What will you play first?

I will check out the new fast-forward option and see how much fun it is!!

[csura999]

Re: What will you play first?

I'll definitely check out the new Postseason Mode. And also get working on the All-Time Brewers and Dodgers roster for the OS Classic rosters set!

Can't wait until March 5th!

Re: What will you play first?

I always tell myself I'm going to just hop right into Franchise...but, then I wait for the OSFM rosters to come out and I never look back.

What I'll do this year, is most likely just play exhibitions in spring training complexes ONLY. I wanna be surprised when my Franchise starts to see the stadiums, hear the sounds....all that good stuff. I just wish SCEA hired these roster people way ahead of time lol. KIlls me to wait a month, but there's so many new features this year, I'll check out everything. The whole playoffs/presentation thing will have to wait till I make it there with my team!

As a Braves fan I am going to miss Prado a lot! He is very consistent and a uplifting type of guy for the team. Don't be to upset.

I didn't realize the playoff mode was online as well, but the fact sheet does say head-to-head, but it doesn't explicitly say online. I never saw myself actually using the mode since I play franchise a lot. But this might be interesting to use for tournament purposes and such.
