How do you get through your franchise seasons?

I'm curious how you guys get through full seasons. I always struggle to just finish one season every year. How do you get through multiple seasons without simming majority of the games?

Play two or three games a day, it doesn't take long to burn through a whole season.

I play every single MLB game on the schedule, so I can use different teams see different stadiums it never gets boring, and I know that I am creating all those stats. it's my own world

if I just use the one team and play every single day it can get boring after a while

Re: How do you get through your franchise seasons?

The year to year saves has given me the motivation to play. I pretty play the game February through August. Knowing that the games I play in February and March are still going to count when the new game comes out keeps me paying. I started my cubbies franchise on mlb 14 on the ps3 and as I type I have one game remaining in my 9th season. I’ve played every game.

I'm on my third season in 17. I play every game in April then afterward, I play one sim three. I'm sure that still has me simming more games than playing but I enjoy it. Oh and of course I play every post season game.

Re: How do you get through your franchise seasons?

I play every single game. Some days I don't play any games, others I play up to 10 a day. I also play all year long as I've stopped playing other sports games, so its baseball 365 days a year.

Also with carryover saves there isn't this feeling of needing to hurry thru seasons to experience the building of teams. I get thru 2 seasons without issue each new year and most of the time I get thru 3 years.

Re: How do you get through your franchise seasons?

I usually either do two things:

Play 1 sim 5.. that way I play with each starter.

Or

Play 1-2 games depending on the series and at least 2 in a divisional game. End up playing quite a bit of games and get to experience every stadium on your schedule. (Much longer approach than the former)

I am on year three of my Pirates franchise. Have quick managed every game, spring training and all. Can roll through a season in two weeks while still feeling connected to the players and know exactly how the team is doing.
