Me neither, if i wanted to finish my game in 15 minutes id play the Baseball equivalent of NBA Jam.

That said, each to his own, options cant be a bad thing, but yeah, to me its an odd one too.

Some ppl have limited playing time is my guess.
I plan on having two franchises going concurrently:
One GPC, one traditional.

It's not my thing, but I'm still glad it's in because there are so many people that wanted it.

There's a ton of applications for generated pitch counts. You can use it in Spring Training/Minor League games, or blowout games when you just want to move on... You can use it online, in online leagues, where you are required to play a particular game by a deadline.

You can use it if you suddenly realize you need to leave the house (I assume you can pause at any time to enable or disable this feature), and want to wrap the ending of the game up as quickly as possible.

And let's not forget RTTS, because lord knows I'm definitely using generated pitch counts when I'm stuck playing for the Mississippi Mosquitoes or whatever nonsense team they have me on!

Over the last several months, my gaming time has reduced drastically. I used to have about 2 1/2 hours worth, but now I'm limited to just about 1 1/4 per night. This is simply just not enough time for me to thoroughly enjoy a full game of baseball at the pace I like to play at while guaranteeing getting at least one full game done (confession: after every game, I look through my MiLB player performances too, as well as look around the league for stats/standings/award races/trade possibilities/etc).

And I hate fully simulating.

Now I'm not saying I'll use GPC frequently, but I greatly prefer this option as a time saver and still being able to earn my stats.

I applaud it and my current life situation make this feature (as well as the importing Franchise files year to year) a guarentee to get some use out on for me.

Not sure if this has been asked, but would our rosters from this year carry over, like my 88-13 Roster...

No I think it would all begin with the 14 version onward.
