Well in starting my (pretend 2021 season on 2020 schedule that never happened) I am where most teams have played 7 or 8 games right now. I started this in Feburary. I think once I get a month in it is better to post stats then.
I can tell you now lots of really good players are off to terrible starts DJ for yankees is 2 for 29!!! Juan Sotto and tatis are off to awful starts as well.
I love how that I have controlled every stat.. also if a big transaction happens in real life I will update it in my franchise (yeah you can call me even more crazy now too lol)
and Yes I used to play all the games with madden at one time too. that was much easier however I could play 3 or 4 madden games a day which meant I would finish one week of the season in 4 days back in the day. I stopped playing madden and gave up on it back in 2012 though. I used to just control the team offences and let the CPU do all the defense plays and swap controllers but I tried to play as though I wanted to win. back in PS2 days I had so much fun playing this way this is how it all started for me to play this way
see how I said I gave up with madden in 2012?? because that was the year 32 team control was taken out... then they kinda tried to bring it back since then it takes like a 1 hour to set up 32 team profiles and set up rosters the CPU messes up.
