Your reason for playing Franchise

[Caulfield]

my reason for playing is to win multiple championships.
I also like to keep track of how different my Braves team has changed from 14 to present. however, I prefer to change my roster as little as possible. but, again, the main reason is to accumulate World Series titles, preferably beating the Bronx Bombers as often as possible. So far I haven't been able to avenge the '96 & '99 ATL

Because to me, Franchise Mode (single player, offline) is what sports video games ARE!

I'm 41, so I'm old enough to remember when sports games were a handful of pixels on an Atari. But since the late 80s on the NES, I've been playing franchise modes to replicate real life. As the games got more complex and added features in the late 90s, that became the staple of my video game life. Little did I know that things would peak around 2004-2006, and then stagnate, before gradually falling off due to the popularity of online play.

But I love the idea of franchise mode being an ownership or GM simulator, and that's how I use it. I absolutely love the offseason aspects, and thats what I dive into the most. But I do play a lot of games (all of them in Madden, most in MLB). I also like to tinker with my players, changing their gear and looks, ect.

I patiently await the day that franchise modes in games get to where I expect them to be, sadly knowing that might never be coming. But other than giving up on my only hobby, there isn't much of a choice.

I didn’t. I’m not a fan of any online mode in games.

I like being in control of everything, GM to playing the entire game. How I have always played. The story lines you create in your own little world with your team are fun. Seeing what draft picks turn out to be good and which ones end up being busts. The long grind of building your team can be stressful but sure is worth it.

To echo many others, it's about the universe I create. I had a Padres franchise I started on 17. Pretty much simmed the first two seasons and worked on building the farm system. I'm in 2029 of that franchise file and took over a horrific Orioles squad two years ago.

I have so much fun seeing the draft picks develop and who becomes a star or busts, what organizations rise or fall, etc.
