How do YOU play your Franchise?

The score and everything remains the same, but only the stats that happened in QM get recorded and everything that happened in the part of the game that you played gets earased. I haven't played The show in 2-3 months or so, and I started playing again a couple days ago. I'm afraid to quick manage a game in progress because this bug happened to me a few times messing up my stats. I really hope it got fixed. Thanks.

Wish I could answer this, but I'm not sure. I usually either play the full game or QM the whole game, and those few times I am hopping in and out I'm not really paying attention.

There's something satisfying yet heart crushing to lose in playoffs since it matters A LOT after a 6 months (in my case) marathon. The length is what's different from NBA, NHL, Madden... I actually care. I could be eliminated in Madden and didn't care that much since I knew a month later, I'd be back again in my 2nd season playoffs. That is also why I do not sim in The Show since I'd get the same feeling... and I want to own all of my stats. Just my take

Exactly the same. I play every pitch of every MLB game. I'm also in the early stages of year two (18-6). Love seeing everything happen and play out.

I was doing a thing where on my off days I would watch my minor league games, just to see my prospects in action, but I stopped doing that. Found myself looking at my phone and not paying attention anyway.

I pick 2 SP and will always play their games while quick managing the rest. I do that thru the AS game. After the break, I use the same 2 (injuries can make it change), but will pick a 3rd to use during each 5 game rotation while quick managing the other 2.

I find that way I still manage to play a good number of games, but the season moves along at a decent clip. And I play all playoff games....If I make it. In year 3 so far, (missed playoffs in year 1).

Like many of us, I just want it to come back. I’m hoping SCEA makes it similar to Madden’s CFM so we don’t lose features in an online franchise. Online has played really well this year. So if they have fundamental piece dialed in now, let’s hope they can reintroduce Online Franchise and build on a solid foundation.

With the exception of Madden's PTM mode, I can't stand simming, whatsoever.

The monstrosity that is the MLB season is ridiculous to get through, but it's very rewarding to play every pitch & end up, 162 games later + playoffs, with all your own stats.

I did this in MLB 16, and to this day, it has been one of the most rewarding franchises I have run. I used the Cubs and went through the trials and tribulations of hot streaks, slumps, winning streaks, losing streaks, etc. Then, after 162 games, and an NLDS win, we lost to the Dodgers in Game 7 of the NLCS. Mind you, this was 2016, so imagine the heartbreak as a true Cubs fan, losing in the NLCS. I didn't get the chance to start another season that year, but man it was worth it.

My suggestion would be to do this each year & then carry over your save into the next iteration. It's almost impossible to get through two seasons while playing every pitch, unless you play over the winter, which I can't stand (Snow + Baseball = ???).

I’ve never been able to play through an entire 162 and I want to so bad. It sounds like a fantastic experience. Did you use a slider set when you did this?
