how do you do your franchises?

[snuty]

I am starting to get bored doing my franchise and I want to have a fun franchise on MLB 12 so I am wondering how do you guys go throughout the season in your franchise? (do you simulate, manage, play).

[bradleyhutchison]

I usually play one game from every series.

[Last Regret]

I play every game...I haven't finished a season since 2005...but that's how I roll.

Like a Boss lol

seriously though best bet is to play through the rotation IE

If youre the Angels for example

Weaver
Haren
Santana
Wilson
some lame

Play the 1st game of the season with weaver
play the SECOND start of Haren's (5-6 days after game 1)
play the THIRD start of Ervin Santana's
Play the FOUTH start of CJ Wilsons.
Play the FIFTH start of the #5
Back to Weaver again

I play one.series every day. With a combo of managing/siming/playing.

I don't play very realistically. I always have at least one created player, usually two. A pitcher and a position player, depends on what my team needs. I always do a fantasy draft so I can have a few players I like, even if I could draft better players. I try to get some prospects two that I like. Turn forced trades on so I can make trades I feel are good and fair, maybe the trade logic is good enough this year that I don't need to do it. I put the two created players in AAA and similar the first season. Its fun but not realistic at all. I know some want to play as their team exist in real life.

I wondered and asked the same thing a day or two ago and was given this thread. There is a lot of different ideas floating around...

My first year I use my team(the mets) and have all the players we do in real live, I go ahead a lot of the. Times, but even if I'm in July and we made a trade in real live in may, but it July in the game at that time, I'll try and make that race in the game. Then after my first year is over I do stuff my way usually. I play the first game of every season and usually everyone in the NL east at least 3-5 times each. I play the phillies the most. And I play all the subway series games. In my MLB 11 the show franchise I have created all of the mets prosepcst( the ones people know about) and I have them in the majors now( it's 2016 in my franchise) so I have Zack Wheeler And Matt Harvey in the rotation and Flores as the starting shortstop and Brandon Nimmo as the starting CF and Brad Holt as the closer.
