    How do you play your franchise?

    Do you sim, quick mange, or play some/all 162 games?

    I usually play away games at stadiums that I never played before (usually 1 game in a 3 game series and 2 in a 4 game series). I always play at Boston because loving play at the green monster. If I got a hot pitcher I play the games he starts.

    I also check AA and AAA to see who's hot and call up to see If I find some hidden gems (also send down). I also train and make sure to check the auto train as it does changes from week to week (based on my games played on 17).

    Re: How do you play your franchise?

    My buddy and I were talking and we came up with a rotation. Using the following rotation, users play about 5 games per month and simming the rest.

    It's simple. Play opening day, sim to your #2 starters 2nd start, play. Sim to #3 starters 3rd start, play. Sim... ect... on and on until the end of the season.

    The only reason to use this method would be to get through multiple seasons.

        I play every single MLB game. Then I quick manage my AAA & AA games.
        I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

        I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

              I play all 162 games. I’ve only finished a season maybe twice in my lifetime.

                Starting 18 today, but with 17, I used to try to play 162, but I'd get bored and start a different franchise over and over again.

                No, I play one and sim five, which I think is what Gopher is describing. Let's you throw with all of your starters, keeps the season moving and is a pretty good measuring tool for your teams true talent.

                  In 17 I used to play all 162 but with starting franchises over and over for whatever reason I never finished a single season lol. This year I've played 2 games in a series then simmed the 3rd or if come across a series where the team is bad (like the Marlins) I sim the first two games and play the third. I try to play multiple games against the better teams to see how i stack up against them (I'm the Phillies) so swimming while paying most games should get me through at least one season so i can finally see what the playoffs look like.

                          I’m trying something new this year, because like many of you I never finish 162. I’m going to do my own version of critical situations. I’ll play the first inning, then Quick manage and jump in at key spots, then play the 9th. I can typically get through a game in 10-15 minutes.

                            The plan has always been to play all 162 games. But I never do. However I have always tried to play the 162 games within the same April to October time frame the real world teams play in. So this year it will be different. I will be playing all the games, but playing them all at my pace. That means if it takes 2 real world years to complete the 162 games it will take 2 years. I don't think it will take 24 months, but it will likely take more than 6 or 7. I am guessing it will take about 10-12 months. Just in time to start new in April of 2019?

                              I always have 2 franchises going. One I play and one I Manage only (MoM). Both are 100% played, no simming.

                              Madden get rid of the extras (SS/XF, HFA, media, scenarios, game plan) or turn them down considerably.
