Lessons learned...go and play!

Re: Lessons learned...go and play!

Before the OSFM roster dropped I had some decent progress into a 'chise but then of course I restarted to use the OSFM but ever since then I play one for a day or two then maybe take a break for a day or so and when I come back I want to start a completely new one. I just haven't gotten one that has stuck yet. But tonight I did a cards fantasy draft one and I'm in the second week, personally played 4 games, and I like it so far; hopefully this one sticks.

I just seem to get tired of teams for whatever reason, whether it be that I want different Uni's, or a new ballpark or whatever else... I think I need to just need to grind through it whenever I feel the urge to switch and get so far into my franchise that I won't want to.

Re: Lessons learned...go and play!

Yep I have also taken the approach to just play the game and enjoy it. The updates that guys do with stances and pitch edits is awesome but I am so busy at work doing 55 hours a week I just want to sit down with a hot cup of coffee and play baseball and not edit rosters with my little free time and restart again and again. But then again those pitch edits sure are awesome

This is always my problem the pitch edits cause me to restart every year. My OCD just doesn't let me continue to play with damn near everyone having the 4seamer as their number 1 or throwing it when IRL they don't. This year does look like SCEA did a better job then years past though

This is exactly my problem too. I love the A's, the Uni's, players are all great but I always think "man I could be playing my home games at Kauffman, or PNC and not looking at Mt Davis"

The other problem is the Schedule doesn't change from year to year like how it should. So I then need to think about which inter league teams I want to play for the rest of my franchise. So with the A's I'm stuck playing the NL central which is fine but means there are a lot of ballparks ill never see.

I guess if here are matchups I like I can just dive into hem while I'm managing the A's full time.

If you do 30 team control you can always spice up life in your chise by playing the others teams every once in a while when great match ups occur or when pitchers you like are throwing or when guys are close to milestones and the like. I always so this. In I think it was the show 10 Brandon Phillips was going for the hit strick record, he had like 30 games. I wasn't playing the Reds but you better believe I started too at 30 and got him to tie Pete's 44 games. It was some of the best baseball I've ever played. The few games where it cams down to his fourth or fifth ab was some of the best, most stressful **** ever!

Re: Lessons learned...go and play!

Quick update.

Still playing, no turning back, no yearning for different rosters, no desire to tweak any more sliders, just playing!

14-14 now, winning 4 on the spin after a poor offensive April only hitting .233 as a club, we start off May by going into Houston (6-22 ouch!) and clobbering them 15-2 in the opener with 20 hits.

The bats are finally beginning to wake up!

Remember...just play!

Re: Lessons learned...go and play!

The 60 game mark hit and we are moving like molasses. Ab 70 games now. 1 month exactly until AS Game.

- Got to take part in the amatuer draft. And could not be more excited ab the future of these guys.

-Shook up the roster recently. Still got my key cogs an their stats ( playin every game ) Just have a better fitting supporting cast.

- Edited Jaime Garcia to get pitches right.

Everything still going smooth. Time to play !

Re: Lessons learned...go and play!

31 games into my Yankees chise and loving it.

Grandy and Tex are about 2-3 weeks away. Then some big roster decisions to make. Then after the All-Star break the return of the captain. In the meantime I am playing great baseball and on a season high 7 game winning streak.

Re: Lessons learned...go and play!

Anybody with thoughts on the Marlins? Kinda like the ballpark and I was getting bored with playing opening day as the Astros over and over again because I find something new to download or change.
