Who plans on playing 162 games of their Franchise?

[Celebrity]

Does anyone else plan on playing all these games? I'm attempting it for the first time. Finishing up April as I type!

Me. I hate the weird stuff that happens in simmed games. And I am in no rush to finish a year, so I will just play every game.

I am for sure. I never have before either, but mainly because i quit on a franchise & restart another...then I buy NCAA 12 when it comes out. I don't plan on buying it this year though & sticking with this game until The Show comes out next spring. Im a baseball guy & playing with the Sox. Currently 44-40 with a week to go before the all star break. it's definitely much better playing each game.

I play every game, every pitch. Takes hella long, but is the only way to go IMO.

I always play every game. It's much cooler cuz u get to go through the slumps and the hot streaks with players, and the repetition helps improve ur game and decisions.

I play most of the time... I play when my best AAA pitching prospects pitch.. and i only dont play when i dont like a pitcher that i own.. CJ Wilson.. Barry Zito..

I will. Have been tinkering the sliders following the great, useful suggestions by the kind posters here. Starting game 1 today!

Always tried to finish the whole season before. But only finished 1 full season before. Usually could only get to August when the next The Show came out.

I'm also just trying it for the first time. Only 5 games in at the moment. Using the Rays as I figured it would be fun to try to build the team back up to compete in the AL East. Hopefully I can stick with it.

I def plan on doing it this year! Will be my first time doing it! Im in mid June and not bored yet and it's great! Loving this game!

I have done it every year since I first got the Show in 2008. This game just never gets old for me.

One thing that helps is that I follow the real life schedule so I only play 1 game a day....I think that helps with not getting burned out. I look forward everyday to making the real life transactions and playing my nightly game.

I've tried but I simply don't have the time. I'm sorta burned out with franchise. I'm thinking of doing a fantasy draft and playing a short season with my custom built team (assuming I can).

I got a good jump before the actual season started...

And the real Tigers have already caught up to me... FML

Hah, same. I rolled with SCEA's release day rosters and the schedule has caught up to me... today, I think, actually. Damn it! I try to knock out at least a game a day, but some days are more busy then others.

I could play MVP a few games a day, completely mindlessly. I'm a lot more cerebral when I play The Show, so a game usually wears me out. Two max.

But I do play every single game. I've never been able to do it any other way. You lose a bit of your immersion when you simulate, I think. Though I think I may create another franchise save and sim one game every series (maybe two, if I'm feeling daring!) just so I can get through multiple seasons and experience all the offseason stuff and really build my team my way.
