How do you play your franchise?

Re: How do you play your franchise?

Wow, there are some great responses here. One way I thought of looking at the ways you guys do it, although it'd be kind of quick maybe, is start with opening day with your #1 pitcher, then sim to your next #2 pitcher's stare after the one following the game you just played, then sim to your next #3 pitchers start after the one following the game you just played, ect ect. But I also like what muktownballer33 said about not having a set schedule. Keep the responses coming!

This is exactly what I like to do. I like playing with every starting pitcher (compared to some guys I know that will play every game with their team's ace and then sim the next 4). I often set my line-up for every game instead of just letting the computer sim things from the schedule page. It takes a little longer to simulate because of load times to load every game, but it also keeps guys from getting tired and keeps line-ups somewhat true to form (I find when the computer makes substitutions due to guys being tired, you sometimes end up with a game full of back-ups instead of spot starting guys, moving guys to DH instead of playing in the field, etc, etc).
