How many games of your franchise do you play?

How many games of your franchise do you play, and how many seasons do you normally get through before next release.

I play every single MLB game, and am lucky to get through 1 season. How do you guys do it?

1. I sim once myself or the cpu take a 5-0 lead
2.I sim games where teams are 10 games below .500
3.I usually have a big lead in the division so I sim the entire september schedule. Doing all this usually gets me to year three of my franchise

I'm trying to play every game for the first season. A at game 47 at the moment. Will then play one game each series for the remaining years.

A good way of simming IMO is like this.

Pitch your #1 starter, then sim until your #2s next star. Then sim until #3 next start, etc. so you are basically playing one game and simming 4.

Or if you want to play more games do it like this.

S P S S P
S S P S S

So you are playing one game then simming the next two, then play another then sim the next two etc.

You would need to sim 5 games, not 4.

Yes you are correct, I meant sim 5 games. What I was thinking was play one out of every 5 games, so you are simming 4 out of 5. Its late on the east coast lol

I play all 162, no simming no fast-forwarding.
Last year I got through 3 complete seasons in about 6 months time.

I play all 162 games or I should say I try too. If the game freezes mid game, I will usually sim the game it froze on instead of playing it again. That happend one time, but I just did a mid game save so no big deal.

I like to know all the stats are mine, and do not like to sim cause of that. I have finished a 162 game season in other shows and lost in 5 games in the WS. Nothing worse than playing every game, and not winning the WS. This year I am 15-7 with the A's. I am really enjoying this team, there stadium sucks, but I enjoy the team. They have some good young pitchers.
