OS Roundtable: Have you Ever Completed a 162 Game Season?

[tril]

did it once, with mlb2k 4 or 5, I dont remember which one. It had that awkard swing. it took me from MAy till December to complete 1 season. I played the game off and on. sinc ethen Ive said I would play 162 but never even tried.

I usuall play a 29 or that 56 games season, with MLB 2k and the Show. And Ill play a season until I get eliminated from playoff contention. that way I can get more seasons in. I average about 2 seasons on each game.
I hate simming games until that point. I get every game in.

Matthew, did you say ASB 2005.
the best
gameplay had its ugliness but oh boy what a game.
It's still my OG.

With all the trade logic issues with present games like the Show, ASB showed us how it was done.
Commentary? yes, please.It was jus another thing that helped me get through 162.

Glad I still have it.

I've finished several 162 game seasons starting back with the MVP series. Each year of that series, I would pick a random team and play all the way through, no simming (03-Angels, 04-Padres, 05-Phillies). Rarely did I play many games after that.

I was in my early-30s at the time, and although I was married, we didn't have children. But, looking back on it, I still didn't have a whole lot of free time...I was in a doctoral program, and gaming was my release that helped me keep my sanity so many of these games were played very late at night and I just needed some sort of activity to relax me prior to going to bed.

After we had our daughter, I didn't do much gaming at all, and it wasn't until she was around 3 that I picked up gaming again at infrequent intervals. I put MVP '05 back in (several years old at that point). And, because we had moved to Chicago, started a season with the Cubs. Made it all the way into late July or August and had a bad/corrupted save and couldn't recover the season. Felt like I had wasted a lot of time, and put the games away again.

Wife bought me a PS3 for Christmas 2010, and in March I picked up The Show '11. I played a full 162 with the White Sox (lost Game 7 of the WS to the Rockies). Right now, I'm playing a new season with the Rockies, and I'm midway through May with the intention of playing all 162.

The only game I was ever able to play full 162 game seasons in was the old High Heat franchise on PC. With franchises transferring from one game to the next, playing every game of a season made sense. I think I finished 5 or 6 full seasons before the franchise was discontinued.

Completed? yes cause i was eager to reach the offseason and perform GM duties....gunna try really hard to actually play all 162 games within a reasonable time this year...hopefully boredom doesnt take over

I always play every game and have only completed a full season once and that was with MVP 05.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

[BeatArmy]

Yup, just finished three of them for Show 11. Finished two in Show 09.

Granted, I have copious amounts of late night free time after work.

When I was a kid, I played a whole season with the Rangers on Triple Play '99. I ended up going to the World Series, but it took me a good two years to complete. Now-a-days, I'm in the sim five games crowd.
