Season V Franchise Mode

[Madden08PCgmr]

In today's help a newb segment, newb asks;

Which mode do most of you play when playing through seasons? Advantages? Disadvantages?

I'd like to hear what you veterans have to say on this.

Thanks.

I always go season mode. It's really franchise lite since it is more than one season.

I like playing my games and only worrying about my 40-man roster rather than a minor-league system.

Do you still draft players, and do the players not o the 25 man rosters progress

Everyone progresses, and you still draft players. Think of it as instead of an Mlb roster, AAA, AA. It's an Mlb Roster, Inactive Roster.

I may look into this. I'm usually a franchise only player, but might be nice to lesson the responsibilities. So you draft players, and they progress like in franchise? I like drafting players, and using them when they progress enough to be on the big league team, but don't care to deal with the players who are never going to make it.

osfm is for franchise but then I run a lot of one and done from season mode, usually with default rosters and historic classic rosters from the vault.
the one big disadvantage about season for me is I would really like to play the AAA games. i wish there were a 50man roster for season mode so we could play those AAA games.
Sometimes I think I would like a 125 man roster for franchise but then I look at all the players from my little old 90man roster who never so much as sniff a cup of coffee from the Big Show. In season mode you have a choice of 162 game season, 82 games, 29 games and 14 games. Franchise has only the 162 game season. Season mode doesnt have GM contracts, so ownership expectations for yearly goals and contract goals are only in franchise mode.
To me, with a lot of time on my hands since my son graduated from high school, both experiences are a must, and for me also, playoff mode gets its fair share. I dont do much RTTS anymore and no o DD or anthing online or CotW.

Random question;

Do the 15 inactive players get service time in season mode? Or does this count only if they are on the big club?

they only accrue service time when they are on the big league squad
