Re: Serious question: How do YOU get through a season?
Every year, I always say i'm going to play a full 162 game schedule with the Red Sox. But, I get so nitpicky with certain players, that I usually go with a fantasy draft, which I get bored of 10 games in.
My problem is, for example, this year there weren't really any windups that looked like Dice K. I used Wang's for a while, but I don't know why, I just didn't enjoy using Dice K. Some guys on the Sox, like Youk, have no stances in the game close to theirs in real life, so I get upset with that.
I know it's just a game, but little things like that irk me for no reason. Hopefully this year, more players have signature style so I can really get into it.
Not to mention, I usually can never find the right sliders. I either lose nearly every game, or blow everyone out. Gets frustrating trying to find the right sliders.Comment

Re: Serious question: How do YOU get through a season?
What I do is play 1 game out of every series and sim the other games in the series. Then play all of the playoff games.
Using this method I've played about 5 full seasons. I have a lot of fun doing it that way and I find it keeps the stats pretty realistic. As you don't have influence on them in an every game situation.
I love the game still. I've played it almost every single day since February. Great stuff, totally underrated. (with sliders)Comment

Re: Serious question: How do YOU get through a season?
I usually play one full series (3 or 4 games against one opponent) then sim one full series.
I end up playing about half the season, and feel like I've made a pretty significant impact on my team's performance.
The rules can be bent also. ie: near the end of the season, I'd purposely play all of Halladay's starts so i could get him closer to 20 wins, so I'd sim a game with a different starter that I'd usually have played.
It keeps things pretty fresh, and you get to see a lot of different teams, without feeling like you've been playing your own division 100 times.Toronto Sports Fan

Re: Serious question: How do YOU get through a season?
Everytime I start a franchise, I get about a week in and find myself bored.
I HATE MLB'S schedule...the season series' with all the teams, 3 games against this team, 4 against this team, and so on.
It's way boring on the game...plus I get bored of playing with and against the same players OVER and OVER again.
How do YOU guys, play through a season on MLB 2k7...play one simulate one...play a month simulate a month...or what...how do you do it?Originally posted by Edmund BurkeAll that is needed for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.Comment

Re: Serious question: How do YOU get through a season?
I like to play about one game for each week of the season and select which one pretty much randomly. I used to do one of each series but I just don't have the time to do that anymore. I like the franchise aspect so getting through a season in a decent timeframe is important because I like to build up my team and otherwise I'd play a season and it'd be time for next year's game. This is why I think sports games, and baseball especially, should have dynasties/franchises carry over into the next year's game. If they did it that way, I'd probably play more games per season.
Although I do like JBH's idea...maybe I'll give that a whirl. JBH--do you do any "front office" stuff while simming through to September? I figure that wouldn't be too many more games than I play now anyway...I like it...PSN: JWGoNDComment

Re: Serious question: How do YOU get through a season?
Wow guys, you have some good ideas for simming strategies etc... I elected for a shorter season which I really like. Only a couple drawbacks 1 being the stats are 1/4 what a full season would be... 2nd is the pithers have plenty time of time to rest and never really get fatigued.Comment

1. Stats - While they only 1/4 of what they should be, at least you know they are YOUR stats.
2. Pitcher Fatigue - This is something I wish they would fix....games should still be scheduled on consecutive days. But I am reluctant to complain since many sports games don't even offer the shorter seasons these days. I just play with an honor system and don't use the pitchers who would otherwise be fatigued.Comment

Re: Serious question: How do YOU get through a season?
I play several 162 game seasons per release. I played seven-plus full 162 game seasons of MVP 2005, 3 seasons of MLB 2k6 and am in my 3rd season of MLB 2k7. I recently purchased an x360 (lol took me long enough) and am anxiously awaiting 2k8. I wish that there were more choices with baseball titles for the xbox 360. I love how MS bought out the rights to High Heat but then never did anything with it--

Re: Serious question: How do YOU get through a season?
I try to play all 162 aiming for certain stats or whatever. Once rosters are updated through great folks like those on OS, and you get top players in the minors I tend to get excited and call them up and try them out for a while. Actually called up Matt Harrison (traded to the Rangers for Texiera) and made him my closer. Ended up getting 20 saves for him after the all-star break!Comment
