Playing vs. Swimming in Franchise Mode

How many games do you tend to play during the season in Franchise mode?

There are too many games to realistically be able to play every one, but I hate simming large portions of the season. How do you guys deal with this?

Do you have a specific system of playing and simming or do you just do whatever you feel like at the time?

Re: Playing vs. Swimming in Franchise Mode

I play all 162+ games. I don't want to leave anything to the CPU. In Spring though (yes I do spring training. I love the position battles and evaluate players) I play a rotation and sim a rotation.

Franchise SIM is dead. Find your favorite iterations and play it forever. Card games are whats "now" and games will cater in that direction and forget realism.

Just have fun and play :)

Re: Playing vs. Swimming in Franchise Mode

Yeah I play all 162 games of the regular season as well as Spring Training and playoffs.

For minor league teams I sim using the QUICK MANAGE option so I have a hands on as to what is happening with my clubs.

Playing 162+ is crazy! 😂😂

How long does it take you to get through a season?

For me, I am in no rush to get through the season because I carry over year to year.
To answer the question though, about 6 months, depending how busy my year is along with other franchises I have going. See, I only really play MLBTS. I literally don't play anything else, so another reason I'm not in a rush lol

I pretty much do this as well. One game a series, sometimes two or even three if it’s a big one or vs an opponent I don’t see often.
