    What kind of Franchise do you play?

    First off I'm a huge franchise guy. It's pretty much the only feature I play on sports games. My problem is I keep restarting my franchises cause I get bored so quick. It's driving me nuts cause I just want to get one started and stick with it. I can't decide what team to go with. I can't decide between my hometown Brewers or picking a random team and playing it like I'm a real GM.

    Also, I can't decide how to play my seasons. I don't have time to play every game. So its either I sim the whole season and play the playoffs games, sim some of the games during the season, or play a shorter season (which would mess up my stats which I don't want to do.)

    I guess I"m wondering how you guys play your franchises? What are your house rules? How do you decide which games to play and what team?

    Thanks!
    I WOULD TRADE EVERY GAME I OWN JUST TO HAVE A PERFECT MADDEN.....

    I've only played franchises with the Twins, but with the new rosters out I may have to start a new one this weekend. It gets difficult to compete as a small market team after a while. Once your budget is decreased it gets even harder. If you want to have an easy time, the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Cubs, Angels, and Dodgers will allow you the most resources. The Brewers would be a fun option also.

    Generally I like to play the first couple games of the season especially if I've made some interesting pickups over the offseason. I will then sim a good part of the season and keep an eye on the standings. If I'm in a playoff race, I'll start to play the last few innings of games in September. Then if it stays interesting I might play the last week of games.

    Of course, you need to play your playoff games or at least the back half of each playoff series you're in!

      I know im not going to be able to play all 162 games. But I really enjoy the pitching interface. I created my likeness as a pitcher with really low composure. Right now i am playing every game, but when i want to move things along I just play the games that I am supposed to pitch. Trying to see if I can get the Cy young.

          I like to play every game but I also obviously want to play in the playoffs lots and do offseason stuff, so I play 40 game years. That way the stats are all mine, even though obvy they're low. If you want to think about how guys are doing just times by 4 at the end of the year, that gives u a decent idea.
