best way to get through a season

[dannyboy9695]

So I'm trying to get through a season and have fun. What do you guys think is the best way to get through a season. Play one sim one?

Re: best way to get through a season

A lot of guys do a Play 1, Sim 5. This way you can get to play with every rotation member, and get through multiple seasons without growing tired of the grind of playing a 162 game schedule.

I like playing 1 game from every series. You end up playing roughly 1/3 of the teams games so you don't feel too grinded and you don't influence the stats too badly in favour of your game play

I play 1 a series. Sometimes 2 if it's a divisional series. I play everything when tied but pitch only if I lead and hit only when I trail.

I play all my games, usually in 20-30 games intervals at a time before I break for another game. Takes me about a year to year and a half to play a season

Re: best way to get through a season

I always play the first game of every series until I get tired of whatever franchise I'm playing. The only exception is when I get to the playoffs I play every game.

I only hit. I sim ahead when my team is pitching. I'll jump in an pitch if I get the "itch to pitch" but normally I only hit. However if I've had a bad season, I sim ahead once my team is out of contention.

Best bet is to buy a Vita so you can play anywhere when you have some free time.

I have never gotten past June until this year I am already in mid September.

Re: best way to get through a season

I only hit and sim the pitching except for one starter - I'll pitch all his games... so I hit all 162 games and pitch about 30.

Same. And I always try to play the day games. Like the look much better than night games.

Re: best way to get through a season

For several years I would play 1 and sim 5. I don't have as much time to game now though, so I simply play 1 game per calendar week. It can be any game and it cuts a few games off the play 1, sim 5 way of doing things. It is nice because I can pick and choose who I play against. Sometimes, I just don't feel like playing the Mariners, so I can skip the entire series and play a saturday game against the Yankees and if I want, I can play the next day (sun) against them too since it is a new week. It's totally free-form lol.

Re: best way to get through a season

Every game feels, to me, like the only way to play a season. So that's how I do it. Thank god for the Vita.

Re: best way to get through a season

Every game, every pitch. Takes me about 4 months to get through, so 2 seasons is pretty much my max. When I finally break through and win the series I will have freakin earned it.

Re: best way to get through a season

I just play them all.But yeah I go through games quick on the vita.

I usually play a couple season all 162 games during summer on ps3 and during winter when I start to play different games Ill sportscast manage a couple seasons.

Re: best way to get through a season

I think the best way to get through a season is whatever you have time for. If you have time to play most of the games then do that. If you don't then the 1 game every 6 might work for you. Or you could play all divisional games and whatever other series intrigue your interest.

It is really whatever you have the time for .. and patience for. I personally play probably 3 out of 5 or 4 out of 5 games.
