Re: Do you play The Show serious or just have fun?

I play to have fun. But I'm serious with my franchise, meaning I play to win. My ultimate goal is to be the World Series Champs!

It's a game that is a video simulation of a real game. It should be fun. Webster's defines game:
1a (1) : activity engaged in for diversion or amusement

That's it for me, something I do as an amusing diversion for an hour or two (or 10) at a time .

Well, something can be a diversion, while still being important to someone though. For example, when I play a sports game, I only do one player, offline franchise. I play every game, and really, really get into the offseason GM aspects. The whole process is meaningful to me.

That could be opposed to someone who only plays single games online, where each game is only meaningful in that moment, and has little to no long term value to the individual. For that person, the game is more light hearted and fun than it would be for me, though we both are playing the same title.

Re: Do you play The Show serious or just have fun?

Play serious but my pleasure of playing is my time to relax. Currently playing season mode and 35-30 record and enjoying every bit of it. Haven't played as would like but move from East to West coast plus marriage and first child has taken its toll lol

Is that site hard to use? It looks cool. I may want to try it this year. Can you give me a little synopsis?
