Anyone else have this weird mindset?

[NewNapkin]

Okay, so I've had every major baseball game since Triple Play 2001 (which I still have)

I have never completed a single season. Even utilizing Play 1, Sim 5.

I start a franchise that I think will be fun. I play around 1-5 games, then either get bored, or find a concept that I think is even cooler than the one I've got, so I start over.

I love the gameplay in this year's game. But I really want to finish a season. I want to build up a team, maybe win a world series. But since I cannot make it past April, it's kinda hard. So, does anyone else have this problem? I just find it really weird.

I start over a lot. Why? No idea other than maybe I'm a bit OCD.

I finally finished a season last year, so I thought I was over starting over. But I've started over 4-5 times already. The last time because the Marlins swept the Nats and that really annoyed me.

The Nats swept the Marlins in my current one though, so I think I'm good now.

Re: Anyone else have this weird mindset?

Funny I should run across this thread now, I'm booting up the PS3 to start another fantasy draft right now because I don't draft enough power hitters and my offense is rated 27th!

The other issue I have is difficulty. On veteran hitting I crush on all star I can't hit. Yet on pitching I have it at hall of fame. I think with fantasy I get bored of my team too fast.

Yeah, I've done a lot of fantasy drafts. I just get bored of them for some reason.

Re: Anyone else have this weird mindset?

I'm going on 4 years of having completed a season. I play every game, every pitch. What I do is build a team that's good but not great. I usually come in about 8-12 in overall rankings. I'll also stack a couple teams in each league by taking the good/great players off of crap teams. My next WS champion will be my first. I've made the series once and lost a heartbreaker to a loaded Boston team. It may be cheese or whatever, but I don't care cause I have a gas every year.

Re: Anyone else have this weird mindset?

I'm definitely part of this group. The most I've done is play about the first 45 games of a season on MVP 05 with a roster full of created players and then I got bored. I've had my fair share of taking just about every team into a season too. I just don't have the attention span I guess.

And then there's fantasy drafts. It would be pretty accurate to say that I've spent more time doing a draft than sleeping in my entire life. God that sounds awful. Ha.

Re: Anyone else have this weird mindset?

I'm also torn whether to do a franchise with real rosters or a fantasy draft. I start over all the time, and I know it's dumb.

Whenever I use real rosters I want everything to be true to real life, but whenever I do a fantasy draft I feel like my team is too good. Rough times..

Re: Anyone else have this weird mindset?

I always do a fantasy draft, just because its the only way I can get some separation between this and reality. Otherwise I will obsess over the Cardinals playing out the exact same way as in real life. Fantasy, I just take the players I like, and basically go into another world mindset.

Re: Anyone else have this weird mindset?

I really enjoy starting a franchise and playing through it. Every batter, every pitch, every out. I really enjoy the statistical side of it all so it just wouldn't be right to sim and have the CPU get stats for me.

I do like to come out with similar stats but I don't get obsessed with it. I generally just tweak the ratings a bit through out the year to try to make the stats come out right. Both for my team and the CPU controlled teams.

I only play one season though, so those of you who like to knock out 2 or 3 seasons I get why you would sim.

Hi, I'm Chris, and I'm a recovering RestartAFranchisaholic. I have been running my franchise without starting over for about a month (in game calendar) and if I can do it, so can you!
