I usually go to the last ST date, and advance through date. Then go set my 25 man roster and then go back to the calander and advance to Opening day.

I usually play 2-4 games just to get a feel on the starters and bullpen. Thats just me honestly.

I play all or almost all of my Spring training games, but since switching this yr to the PS4 not sure how many Spring Training games I will end up playing, since there is just 1 spring training park per league. Been waiting on a roster or I would have done been into the season by now. I am hoping next yr they have upgraded Spring Training and added more ballparks, as I know Im in the minority but I enjoy playing those games, and IRL I actually enjoy Spring Training, out of all the preseasons for sports, baseball is definitely the most exciting for me, and the only one that I pay close attention to and watch as much as possible.

I usually sim like a week at a time. Every week I demote 4-6 guys who struggled and/or have no shot of making the team. Then I play the last game with my set 25-man roster.

I sim and play. Prospects I tend to use to analyze where they're at. I want to use potential rookie pitchers so I can make decisions on where to place them. I'm in season 3, about to enter season 4 and having a blast in the team building and spring training battle processes.

Oh, I like that idea!!

Depends on what kind of position battles i have going. Usually have a few starters that will fight for the 5th/LR roles. And a 4 or 5 guys fighting for a backup role. I sim 5 games at a time and change the rotation / lineup between each sim so i can get an even number of starts for everyone that is fighting for a job. There are usually 2 or 3 games left at the end and i just put in my backups as much as possible before picking who stays based off stats.

I play one game send one guy down. Play a game send a guy down. So 15 games of Spring Training and my roster us set. Then I hit end Spring Training.
