I play to play. Not watch. I see all the other stuff in real life basically every day for 7+ months in a row.

Re: How do you choose to play

I play every game of every season. Most of the minor league games as well. I do not x out of cut scenes and let everything play. I play on default all star do not chase slider. I wait for OSFM V1 then I am off and running.

Already through two years of my Nationals Franchise and just started a Padres Franchise. I play this game every day until the next one comes out. My record is three complete seasons.

Few years ago I was talking with CountryBoy and he inspired me by how much he played in a game year and I have done this ever since.

I play MoM and absorb everything I can. I watch it all and love every minute of it.

Re: How do you choose to play

Depends on my mood, this year I've been simming a lot of night games but playing most of the day games in my franchise. Love the new lighting in this year's game! I only wish we could choose game start times in franchise mode. Some of the late afternoon/early evening lighting is gorgeous at many of the stadiums.

But when playing, I do skip a lot of the cut scenes. I'll let them play if I'm drinking my morning coffee or evening beer, as the cut scenes give me time to take a drink. I also had been using quick counts quite a bit, but have backed off of that. I found a great sweet spot with my sliders and am getting very realistic pitch counts, walks, strikeouts, hits, and runs without quick counts now.

So yeah, that's how I've been playing MLB 15.

Re: How do you choose to play

I play every pitch of every game for my team.

For the regular season, I do use Fast Play to skip the cut scenes. I go back to Broadcast for the playoffs.

Edit: I also use Season mode, since it's multiple seasons and I prefer just having to manage my 40-man roster.

Re: How do you choose to play

I play all games in franchise, broadcast no quick counts but I'll often (but not always) x through scenes. I'll rarely sim the second half of a game if it's turning into a blowout, but I haven't done that since 14. I sim my minors 99% of the time but sometimes I'll player lock on a prospect of particular interest for a game for a quick peek at the minors.

I play all year long. I usually binge on and off throughout the year and I'll get about a season and a half a year done. With year to year saves now I'm in no rush.

Re: How do you choose to play

I play out each game, no quick counts or anything like that, but I don't always watch the cutscenes, although there are some that I like, such as the unique sign a fan will hold supporting a certain team or pitcher.
