I figured if I am out of the race in July I will just sim to the next season. If I am in the race late I might play out the last 10-15 games.

Right now I am at the start of the second season with the Cubs. I was about 20 games back in July so I just simmed out the 1st season. Moved Soroano for a prospect and called up a couple other prospects. Sitting at 12-10 right now and a game and a half back.
Thats almost exactly how I am, and how I am running my Chise haha.

Re: How many games do you play per season?

I play every single one of them. I just.. find it much more fun. I finished a 162 with the Red Sox in 11 the show, took me from release day until January 2012. This year it's with the Pirates. Sitting at 3-11 >_>

Yeah I think I might just go with this. I would love to play all 162, but I don't even think I would get through it. Especially when NCAA 13 and Madden 13 come out.

Re: How many games do you play per season?

I play them all - I like all the stats to be "mine," if that makes sense.

With that said, I haven't finished a season since MLB 99 or something like that. But I'm on track to change that this year.

Yeah, part of it is I know I will be playing NCAA upon release. Also, I do skew the stats a ton with my skills or lack there of. Having a ton of fun with the game right now trying to build the Cubs into a contender.

Re: How many games do you play per season?

I play every single at bat of my RTTS guy, but I've got to stop playing every franchise game. I skew the stats horribly and it takes way too long. I like the idea of playing one game per turn through the rotation. If I get tired of playing with only one starter, I might rotate which starter I play with during each turn through. First time through play with the ace pitching, next time through the 2 starter, next time the 3, next time the 4, next time the 5 and repeat. I tried playing all 162 but it was just not worth it.

All 2,430 of them + Playoffs this year. I have the V4 rosters with Pitch Edits and do full hitter/pitcher edits. Best 12 rosters out there. Many of the games will be Cpu vs. Cpu and I will play when I can, here and there. All stats will be from Gameplay, not Sim. It will take 2 or 3 years. Have Fun
