How do you play games in your franchise?

[Buccosback]

If I played one game a series it'd be like 52 games a season which is a little too much but the play 1, quick manage 5 is only 27 games so i was looking for something in between so I came up with this

Play 1, Quick manage 5 to keep the rotation moving, play MLB/Team Debuts, and when i quick manage i'll play all extra inning games at home.

I like this idea. I might do a spin on this.... play 1, manage 1, player lock one and use that wheel for the other 2 games.

I’ve been playing MLBTS 19 way more then i thought and realizing I’m already to August in my Rockies franchise haha. This approach will help slow things down and enjoy the season while not having to grind out 162 games.

I did this back in '13, I think.

For the regular season, I'd play the 1st game of every series and the result would determine how much I play/sim the rest of the series. My goal was to win every - or at least tie - every series. If I made the playoffs, I'd play every game.

I win the 1st game:

2 game series: sim last game

3 game series: sim 2nd game.
If I win 2nd game, sim 3rd game.
If I lose 2nd game, play 3rd game.

4 game series: sim 2nd game.
If I win 2nd, sim 3rd & 4th.
If I lose 2nd, play 3rd. If I win 3rd, sim 4th.
If I lose 2nd, play 3rd. If I lose 3rd, play 4th.

Lose 1st game:

2 game series: play last game

3 game series: play 2nd game
If I win 2nd, play 3rd.
If I lose 2nd, sim 3rd.

4 game series: play 2nd game
If I win 2nd, sim 3rd. If I win 3rd, sim 4th.
If I lose 2nd, play 3rd. If I win 3rd, play 4th.
If I lose 2nd, play 3rd. If I lose 3rd, sim 4th.

I think instead i'll play opening day and the home opener and then quick manage up until draft so i can easily scout for the draft in one sitting and then after the draft play one game per series which would end up being around 35 total games played. on top of that i'd play the debuts and extra innings and such.

Started playing every 6th game due to this thread. Thank you,

Quick question. When do you sub out based on energy. Seems to drop pretty fast.

Any time there is a game that isn’t close (4 or more runs) I will work my bench players in after the 7th inning. It keeps them getting regular at-bats and keeps my starters energy up. Otherwise, I try not to let anyone’s energy bar get too far below half. Performance suffers with lower energy anyway, plus its not worth the injury risk.

Thanks. Just curious...I assume you mean leading by 4 or more.

right now I'm playing a White Sox season in full, 162 games pitching & batting

my next team will be an Orioles season, road games - bat only / home games - pitch only
