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

[cygm314]

Did it once in MLB The Show 10. I used the Oakland A's and made it to the playoffs. I upset the Red Sox in the ALDS in 5 games, but ended up losing the next round to the Yankees in 6. Even after the elimination game, as upset as I was, there was a sense of pride that I had made it through 173 games.

I gotta give you credit...if I put that much effort into playing the whole season I definitely wouldn't go down in the playoffs. I'd restart games until I won them.

I've never done it, never even considered trying actually. I usually play RTTS for the simple fact you can get through many seasons without having to play the game for hours on end. When I play franchise mode I usually 2 out of 3 games or so...and the ones I play sometimes I only bat, or only pitch etc...

Back in high school, I used to knock out 2-3 seasons of Bases Loaded during the summer (of course, these weren't full 162-game seasons).

But I think the last time I played a full 162-game season was on one of the 989 MLB games on the PS1.

I really am optimistic that changes this year though.

I was so addicted to the whole stadium building aspect. I remember looking at my profile and seeing I had completed 224 games. The depth of animations for the time also kept me going. I remember seeing new things half way thru the season.

Never. I play 1 game in every series & sim the others.

I finished a complete 162 game season with the DBacks in MLB 09. I also played the playoffs even though my DBacks did not make it. I have almost finished a complete season in MLB 10 with the Marlins (I have played 132 games so far). It helps that I did not buy MLB 11 although I plan on picking up MLB 12 soon.

I hate simming.

Here are a few links to my dynasties:
2010 Florida Marlins Franchise

2009 Arizona Diamondbacks Dynasty

I have never even come close to playing every game in a baseball season.

Every year since 06 I tell myself...okay this is gonna be the year I play all 162 games! But sadly I never have. And to be honest I'm going to be telling myself the same thing this year!
