I usually play away games at stadiums that I never played before (usually 1 game in a 3 game series and 2 in a 4 game series). I always play at Boston because loving play at the green monster. If I got a hot pitcher I play the games he starts.

I also check AA and AAA to see who's hot and call up to see If I find some hidden gems (also send down). I also train and make sure to check the auto train as it does changes from week to week (based on my games played on 17).
I have always played 162 with my team or 324 when I was controlling 2 teams. I'm considering simming some games and trying to figure out the best way of doing it...Your way seems pretty interesting. But if I end up doing it I will probably quick manage more that straight sim.

So this year it will be different. I will be playing all the games, but playing them all at my pace. That means if it takes 2 real world years to complete the 162 games it will take 2 years. I don't think it will take 24 months, but it will likely take more than 6 or 7. I am guessing it will take about 10-12 months. Just in time to start new in April of 2019?

I'm surprised and happy to see so many play full seasons, I was beginning to think I was the only one that didn't sim.

Re: How do you play your franchise?

Last year was the first year I played all 162 finally and I played it from January to February with the Reds lol.

Anyway that was all on QC, this year imma play all 162 but I will use QC on non MLB network games only. Gonna play every pitch on MLB Network games.

Re: How do you play your franchise?

I usually play at least one game out of each series. It depends on the opponent. I play as the Orioles, so I might play all the games of a series in the division, but sim or manage against a team like the A's. The minor-league games get simmed as the major-league calendar moves along.

Re: How do you play your franchise?

I play with the Nationals.

I play all spring training games + the 162-game season. No simulation, quick manage or any of that stuff. It takes me 2 1/2 months to finish one season, so it's not as bad as people think, but I work at home, so I can play more games.

I've only repeated as World Series champs, so this year I want to do 3 or 4 seasons to see if I can get this dynasty going. I'm not planning on buying anymore sports games (50-50 on WWE 2K19).
