Do you play every game in your franchise/season? If not, how many?


Do you playevery game every other, or just randomly pick? >>

> >

I typicallyplay opening day and then sim 5 to get to my next starter so I’m usingeveryone. I like to progress throughmultiple years and develop my team. Italso forces me to build a team that can not only win when user controlled, butsimulated as well. If it’s crunch timeand were fighting for a playoff spot I’ll play a few additional games as neededvs competitive teams. There areoccasions during season where there are games I just want to play ex. (I playas MKE so playing Boston/NYY is pretty cool), or if a my team or cpu has made abig trade recently I like to play that team. I simply don’t have time for 162 games a year. I greatly enjoy the year to year developmentof my club just as much. I’m hopefulthat 14 has improved progression and improved contracts, 13 was pretty bad,almost unplayable bad.>>

In the past I never did, I would play all the NL Central games (as the Cardinals) then play the interleague games and then just 1 or 2 games a series with the rest of the NL teams. But with quick count this year I might try playing them all. Maybe only simming 1 game a series with if it against a really bad team late in the year.

I play every game. Over the years I've only completed one whole season

Good idea, my only concern with quick count is my K rate will increase greatly as I'll become overly aggressive. I do like the idea though.

Re: Do you play every game in your franchise/season? If not, how many?

My normal method is I play the first 10 games in full (this gets me some nice base stats, plus gives me some time with each of my pitchers), then I use the play 1 sim 5 method. Which means you play one game with your #1 starter, then the next full game is with your #2 and so and and so fourth.

One caveat is I don't just sim the games in between. I enter them and use Fast-Forward to the 7th inning then intervene accordingly. Playing this way I at least get a say in many more games than I would if I was to just straight sim them.

I'll probably work in some QC games this year, as well.

I typically play 1 game from each series, or every other series to get a variety of starters and teams.

I play every game until I clinch the division or am eliminated from contention. One year I got 3 seasons in, but usually I get about a season and a half. I haven't decided if I want to use quick counts yet, but I'm thinking I might try it when certain pitchers are starting or maybe play one regular game a series and use quick counts the rest.
