Franchise System

[fantasyboi]

Now that the PS4 can do carry over saves what system do u plan on playing for the franchise? all 162? only rubber games? only 1st or 2nd half?

I personally plan on playing all 162 and really am focused on bringing down Cal Ripken's amazing consecutive game record.

I plan on running things like I always did, with the only exception being I will have a 2nd franchise going concurrently using the Quick Counts,
(My old system was to grind it out all 162 & I still plan on doing that.)

I;m not usually interested in going past 3 or 4 years in a franchise because of the minor league experience.
Even as great as OSFM is the limitations of the Show's minors holds back OSFM's full potential.

What I plan on doing for having a carry over from 14 to 15 to 16 & so on
is to start on a creating a sort of historical roster modeling teams on these teams from the 1980's-

World Series Winners-
80 PHILLIES
82 CARDINALS
83 ORIOLES
84 TIGERS
85 ROYALS
86 METS
87 TWINS
88 DODGERS
89 A's

Also the 1979 PIRATES & 1990 REDS

World Series Losers-
81 YANKEES
82 BREWERS
84 PADRES
86 RED SOX
89 GIANTS

Other teams-
82 BRAVES
83 WHITE SOX
84 CUBS
85 BLUE JAYS
86 INDIANS
86 ANGELS
86 ASTROS
86 RANGERS
87 MARINERS
The Expos/Nationals will be mix of the 1980 & 1981 Montreal.

& for good measure the expansion
93 MARLINS
93 ROCKIES
98 D'BACKS
98 RAYS

This is obviously quite an under taking but carry over saves will make it quite worth it.

I'll have two franchises like always. One with the Cubs and another with a team that will be able to win now, probably. I usually play 1 then sim the next 5. I'll probably do that for one of them but the other I might play every game or bring down the number of games that I sim.

The fact that it carries over makes PS4 a must have. I played with the idea of all Asian rotation, a good infield , in Minnesota. Great park factors for a team built on pitching and defense. But NOOOOO WAY ! How could I play so many games without my faves Bryce Harper & Jay Bruce.

We do a 3 player fantasy draft So each year the roster is updated , we usually pick a different team than last year, and some guys change. But it's usually the same core players. We will play everygame of the season, a few sims, then next year on 15 start the season again but with no draft. This leads me to multiple questions that are along the same things ..

1. How will the OSFM roster hold up on MLB 2015 2016 etc.. ? Progression / regression Also which roster version should I use ? I almost think I need to wait for pitch edits ...

2. How to import new / young players ?? I'm no good at CAP

I think maybe the PS3 Show will also have carry over saves.
