Whats the most World Series you team has won in a row?

What is the most World Series your team in challenge mode has won in a row? I am currently the Tampa Bay Rays in 2023 and have won 3 straight.

jimmysthebestcop · 04-05-2019, 04:28 PM

I think I usually get bored around 6. Then either switch teams to the worst team in league or start over a brand new universe. I usually only make 10-12 years in a universe before starting over.

panda234 · 04-05-2019, 05:14 PM

3 in challenge mode then fell apart lol

texasmame · 04-05-2019, 05:16 PM

I shoot for 3 in a row then go manage the worst team in the league or an expansion team.

panda234 · 04-05-2019, 06:03 PM

Took me a long time to get 2. You can dominate during the year but anything can happen in the playoffs, especially the 5 game series.

Blackjack · 04-05-2019, 07:24 PM

I won 4 in a row in a fictional league. Was knocked out of the playoffs the next 2 years before winning a fifth. Then I took over an expansion team.

lol, I was thinking the same thing. I've never won back-to-back WS titles. The closest I got was the division series the year after I won.

Same. As in real life, it's so hard to repeat.

i don't really play MLB much but I have won a few in a row in a 10 team fictional. but far fewer teams and playoff rounds

Think it depends on how much you pay attention to the minors. Most of my time in game years is spent on the minors. Just getting prospects from every where you can imagine.

I do real service time and roster size for milb too. Which means every year you need minimum 35 cuts for the draft class minus injuries. But not counting any free agents, player purchased and trades. I do a lot of deals for nameless minor league players who may or may not ever see the show.

But it builds a strong minor system. Think in my Oakland universe I didn't even realize my AAA, AA , A+ teams all won like 5-7 championships. They were pretty much stacked with any players basically could play in the majors from AAA and AA.

Had no choice as Oakland in 19 even after winning 5 WS in a row I couldn't sell out or draw fans so my revenue was always 28-31. If a player become popular chances are he wanted 25+ million or 15+ in arbitration which meant he had to be dealt for prospects.

NoOne · 04-06-2019, 06:56 AM

i only have to win 2 playoff seireis with a bye week, more similar to nfl, but for all 30teams not each conference (actually no sub-leagues anymore for me, 10-team divisions only play within and balanced).

7 get in. 3 division winners, 4 wild-card at-large.

compared to panda above, significantly easier to win more WS in a row. i can get over 80% in long-term sims most years. so, some long stretches occur, inevitably. i don't really count that up, though.

i always have a top-market size team.. so, it isn't too difficult. liek RL the game is "rigged" in their favor anytime those teams have half-competent GM. in RL, you have to be an abject failure not to succeed in NY or LA, for example.

they are all too short-sighted, and cave-in to irrational fan demands -- or worse an entitled owner runs your team into the ground with 5-7 years of desparate actions like the tigers, recently. yeah, it's his toy and he was a little brat about it, lol, with no concern for the future and the plethora of people that enjoy the tigers and won't be dead.

4.

I always play challenge mode.

AirmenSmith · 04-06-2019, 01:23 PM

In my challenge mode league I couldn’t get more the 4 in a row. 6 times I got 4 in a row in the same league but never 5.

Scoman · 04-06-2019, 02:48 PM

Lets see you do it with trading off....

itsmb8 · 04-06-2019, 04:59 PM

I think the majority in here that HAVE won multiple in a row play fictional leagues with up to ~16 teams, which speaks volumes. As in real life, the less # of teams = better chance of winning.

I think the vast majority of users with MLB saves have trouble winning it all, which is how it should be.

damientheomen3 · 04-06-2019, 06:37 PM

Don't think I've ever made it past 2 (and when I was younger I always edited my players to give myself a 120+ win team because I was a kid), but interestingly enough, I have seen an AI team win 5 in a row in one of my leagues where players are forced to retire 8 seasons after being drafted. It was while I was fast simming to build history so I didn't follow along with it, but it was pretty cool.
