    How do you plan to play 24?

    I always go back and forth. But usually end up landing on every pitch, every inning.

    But after really thinking about it, I’m considering trying something different to start(although, I imagine I’ll end up back to every inning, every pitch).

    With the new customizable moments, I’m considering doing play one, sim five, with the five set to 5 inning appearance and see how that works. Not sold on it. But if it helps me get deeper without losing touch with my team, I’ll give it a shot.

    I usually play the first 10 games of a season and then I do one a series after and quick manage any game I dont play. I play every playoff game for my team.

      A full season in franchise doing 30-team control. I play at least one game on the calendar day, and one AA and AAA each per week (more if I take particular interest in a team). I like to treat The Show like a broadcast network so I'll do Saturday doubleheaders, etc.

      I wish I was more into the classic rosters but there are too many factors that break the immersion for me, so I keep it purely to the current season.

      I also usually do one pitcher and one hitter in RTTS until I get bored. I'll probably do Storylines and give Diamond Dynasty another shot (I like to check back in and see if it or I have changed) while I wait for a good full minors roster.

        Spring training, Quick Counts on.
        First season, 162 games no sim, 1450+ glorious innings.
        Second season and beyond, play one, sim two, except ST and postseason, if I get there. Postseason is always a No Sim Zone.

          Not playing unless they add back in shorter season lengths. SDS creating new ways to simulate games when they used to support shorter seasons is ridiculous.

            When they removed season mode, they should have replaced it with tourney mode. You could play 28 games, or 56, in the first stage. Either 2 or 4 games against every team. Then the Top 8 move on to a College World Series type bracket.

              I will probably do a 23 Franchise before I pickup 24, but I follow a certain pattern for my playthroughs where I mix Play & Sim.

              I play Opening Day (Starter 1) and then sim completely through the rotation and will play Starter 2's game. Sim through again and play Starter 3, and just keep that pattern until the end of the season.

              I think it ends up being 30 something games that I play manually, and the rest are simmed. That way I can influence the stats, but also keep some randomness/realism.

              For Post-Season I usually play the opening game of a series plus clinch and elimination games.

                Franchise mode, every pitch of every game. Same as always.

                I do sim spring training. Won't touch any of the other modes since I'm only interested in franchise.

                  I’ll play a full franchise. Every pitch every game as well. Hopefully I can stick with one team this year.

                  I also will probably dabble in DD. Usually conquest games only.

                  Will also probably play the Negro League feature again this year.

                  I can’t see myself touching Derek Jeters storyat all.

                    Franchise mode is always my bread and butter. Though I also take pride in getting all the achievements in MLB the Show games, so I have to touch all modes to do that.

                      You know, I’ve never thought about play one sim one(I have no idea why). But that is interesting. You get to play half the games and are able to keep the pulse of the team much better than 1/5. I may have to give that a shot. [emoji848]

                        I would like to see them add where you can set your season length in franchise like you can in NBA2k. And you use to be able to in season mode. Personally, I’d rather have that than moments.

                          Last season I did 30 team control, every team, every pitch.

                          Hitting for both teams only. I am not a pitching guy. Jumping in for bullpen moves when needed.

                          Made it to April 28th… and stopped playing only a week or so ago.

                          It was NOT conducive to keeping up with your team (I had to get through 14 other games before circling back to my team).

                          But having 25 games or so of pure user stats for the whole league was awesome.

                          I do really want to get further into the season this year but I cannot stand mixing the sim stats with the user stats.

                          I’m considering playing several series (maybe five), get through them, sim the rest, then play another five series’ with different teams, sim the rest….

                          That should get me about 33% user stats with the rest simmed but may get me to June or so…. lol.

                            Those of you who are playing all 162, kudos to you, there’s just no way I could get more than one season in doing thar. I’ll be doing the play 1, sim 5 with dropping into close games while simming.

                              Full franchise rebuild for me. Haven't exactly decided which team I will "save," but I do have it narrowed down to a few.

                              I do 30 team control and play every game. With one exception, since I'm doing a multi season rebuild, I will quick manage the final month of the season if I am eliminated from the playoffs. I got 3 full seasons with '23 and it ended with me failing to get Milwaukee their first chip. Their fans are happy to see me go.
