Do you play The Show serious or just have fun?

[Jolly Roger]

So I've decided that starting this year, I'm going to just play casually and enjoy myself. If certain CPU stats are a little off during a season, I'm not going to worry about it. If I get started and realize my sliders are a little too easy or difficult, I'll adjust them but I won't restart my season because of it. I'm going to accept that The Show is an excellent video game simulation of baseball, but that any video game will always have something that isn't quite identical to the real thing.

How do you guys play The Show? Are you more casual or serious about it? I used to never get a season/franchise going because I was constantly tweaking things, but I think I'll probably have more fun just letting things be.

I'm more casual, focusing mainly on RTTS but dabbling in other modes.


I have always been amazed at how detailed and seemingly nitpicky some folks get over tiny details, but to each their own.

I play for serious fun. But the fun can get too serious and cause me to slightly stress over my franchise, batting avg, RTTS stats, DD record, etc.

You might want to word the question differently. I've always considered my game world it's own little universe, so even though it's based on real life, it's allowed to be different. It's a fantasy. Still, I take dealings within that fantasy world (relatively) seriously, even though I'm not concerned with following the real world even the slightest.

So umm, both?

Tryhard against certain friends. Otherwise, just for fun.

[Speedy]

Both!

I like it to be accurate to a point...then by June, I just have fun.

The day video games stop being fun is the day I stop playing.

Click on the link in my signature and you'll see my answer. Anyone that runs a site for their franchise probably takes MLB The Show a little TOO seriously... and that obviously includes myself.
