Trying not to rage quit my franchise...

[mrCPUgeek]

Do you plan on doing season carry-overs and using this franchise multiple years? If so, I would weather it out. Maybe take a break and use another to get your footing and settings the way you want, but I'd say keep on keeping on and see what you can make of it.

If you don't plan/want to do more than a year with them, then I'd say yeah, start over.

I am surprised at the amount of people that want you to be miserable and soldier on, lol. Darn enablers!

This should be entertainment, not a trial of pain and misery. By "quitting," you don't actually have to delete the franchise. You can come back to it later if you want. I'm sorry, but a thread titled "trying not to rage quit my franchise..." indicates that the OP should probably quit the franchise. I mean, to each their own, but I don't see there being anything to prove if you're not enjoying yourself.

Well, I think using it was a playground to find his level makes sense.

No point in starting over when he doesn't know his preferred level/settings, getting in the same situation, etc.

Finding where you need to be once will carry for all forward future franchises. What better place to do that than in a franchise you ponder throwing away anyway?

So, at least for me, it's not a "carry on and try to come back from 9-40 with the settings that made you 9-40 in the first place", but, "use it as a throwaway to test things, then when satisfied, create your new franchise where you're at your level."

To me, that's the most practical and orderly thing to do to try to prevent the situation from recurring.

Who wants him to be miserable?

He obviously doesn't really want to quit or he would've done so without posting a thread here asking people to talk him out of quitting.

Did you read any of the OP at all? lol. Does not sound like fun times are being had.

See, and I think that's what spring training is for!

I've been in this boat a few years ago, but eventually figured it out. Not because of asking questions on the forum (probably should have) but because I played every single spring training game and figured out the exact everything for me to have a realistic, and fun game.

If that works for the OP - by all means run with it.

I just would want a larger sample and S.T. has it's own quirks. Ultimately, it really doesn't matter if you play 20-30 games in the existing franchise and 20 or so games in S.T.

It's the same principle.

If you read my 1st post in this thread, you will notice I suggested the same thing as you in ever so slightly different language. The key is figuring out a setting that works for this guy so he has fun (not misery) playing the game. Whether using the existing franchise to tinker or scrapping it and starting fresh (it would be easier to track stats in a fresh franchise without the legacy of the old stats interfering, imo), it's all basically the same. Others seem like they're saying he should just buck up and keep grinding away and things will magically be different somehow without changing a thing.
