That's how I play; every game all nine innings. I love baseball.

MLB power pros has to be one of the most underrated baseball games out there. I went 6 or 7 years with my created player before my buddy accidentally deleted my file.

I have, the last 2 years. Actually, I played at least a year and a half in both MLB 10 & 11... playing 90% of the games (I ended up simming a handful of games to keep pace with the real MLB schedule.

Plan on doing it again this year. I may sim a little more, just to go deeper into the franchise.

Never, ever finished a 162 game season; my wife makes fun of me for being very optimistic in my continued attempts every year. Closest I've gotten is to game 109...

With Vita it will be much likely to complete a 162 game season. (Though I did complete a season in 11, playing every game... it will be undoubtedly tough depending on one's lifestyle.)

I still prefer to play on PS3, but for franchise and doing just managing and GM stuff, I would actually love to run every single game (of my team) through the gameplay engine and not sim at all. Vita makes it easy to just run games without much user interventions.

I like the feeling of every pitch counting toward the results, so when I sign a starter with that effective curveball, he's going to use it to affect the results.

The most I have ever played was 2-1/2 seasons in franchise mode all games, every inning in The Show 09. It was my first year having the show.

Last year I did manage to complete the elusive accomplishment of completing an entire 162 game season as my beloved Chicago Cubs, playing through an entire season and hoisting the World Series trophy after a grind out 7 game series win over the Red Sox was one of my greatest virtual accomplishments

No way. And I hate when games don't let you shorten the season. I've completed 30 game seasons, something like that. But 162 is just too many.
