Replaying Every Game of MLB Season

scoop316 · 04-02-2019, 03:40 PM

Is there a way to play every game of a season, not just the games assigned to one team. For example, I am trying to do a full season replay of a season and don't want to just have to pick one team. I want to control all 30 teams and "play" every game for the entire season. Is that even possible? As of now, I'm running into the problem of games being simulated while I played another game.

I'm at work, so I can't give you pinpoint directions, but you need to look for the option that says "simulate world in background" or something close to that. It is set to "yes" by default. You want to switch this to "no" and you will be able to play every game. Look for the option when you select a game to play and it goes to the game preview screen.

As for controlling every team, I don't have an answer there as I've never tried that.

Thank you. I will look that up.

Under league functions, in the middle a little more that half way down, there is a option to put yourself in control of all the teams. I have used that to draft but not to play out games but I think it will work.

But WHYYYYYYY??????

I do admire the love for the game.

When my dad was alive, he taped every baseball game on TV during the season, saved them up, and watched them all winter long.

Even the meaningless ones.

Even the games in August and September between going-nowhere teams just playing out the string.

Something about it just comforted him.

But ... actually controlling every game and every team, every day of the season?

Whyyyyyyyyyy?????

A mere 2430 games

That would be quite an effort

Back in my APBA playing days I tried to play every game. I got to the point where I memorized almost all the results. 31? Fly ball to center except during a hit and run it’s a single up the middle with the runner going to third. Was down to 10 minutes a game. Even with only 26 teams, never got past May before I gave up.

Should be faster in OOTP. No need to keep a scorecard or fiddle with cards. Good luck with your endeavor.

I played "Pursue the Pennant" board game a long time ago ...

I replayed every single game and you could wake me up at 3 a.m. and ask me for a certain line-up and I would be able to tell you

I got stuck in late August and never recovered
