How do you play your franchise?

Hey All

Just trying to get some good ideas for how to play my franchise once the Knight rosters are ready.

Ever year I try and play every game and get into season 2 and then never get anywhere past that. With all the minors I feel like I should play 10 plus seasons to see people develop.

So was trying to get an idea what some of you do to get through a ton of seasons? I was thinking maybe I would play each game and every time I lose I would not be able to play again until my team got a simulated win

Anything you might do you want to share?

I usually play 1 game out of every series, I pick whichever pitching match up I like the best. Some inter-league series i'll play them all, depending on the team, and if I make the playoffs, I play every game.

Whats the most seasons you have ever played with one version of the game using this method?

I usually play all 162 games, but I will most likely do about 120-140 games. Also manually injure players that are hurt in reality, and make sure to give Braun the 50 game suspension he deserves; I will.

Every year I do the same method. Play 1, sim 5. It let's you cycle through your pitching staff, and the 30+ games that you play has a decent impact on season stats and standings.

At least 5 before the next version comes out. August to December I mostly play Madden, or else I'm sure I'd fit another couple seasons in.

I play through 1+ season. But I started late last year or else I would've played more. I'll probably get in closer to 2 if not more this year. I play every single inning.

Heard a good idea from somebody on the boards that said play all of the game when the score is tied, only pitch and sim hitting when your team has the lead, and only hit and sim pitching when your team is behind. You can play both sides during the 7th,8th and 9th if its a one-run game. I think I'm going to try this while playing 2 games from each series. Seems like a good way to get thru a lot of games while never being too far removed from your team
