How Many People Play Their Games Out?

tcblcommish · 06-29-2003, 09:45 AM

Just curious...

mpsquid · 06-29-2003, 10:28 AM

I only play out elimination games, heheh.

pallison14 · 06-29-2003, 11:16 AM

One game a week. Usually pick out what the "marquee" matchup would be and play that one. Also all post season games..

akw4572 · 06-29-2003, 01:03 PM

i play em all out.......too fun not too

CommishJim · 06-29-2003, 03:00 PM

I play out my away games and let the computer play the home games

hukarez · 06-29-2003, 04:20 PM

I play out all my games...

Wish I'd play them *well*, at the least! But I play them.

Dazooz · 06-29-2003, 05:05 PM

Always, always, always...it's the only way I truly learn my team.

seth70liz76 · 06-29-2003, 06:16 PM

I play all of "my" teams games. I don't understand how siming 50 season can be any fun. Course (old man rant coming) back in the dice and board days, we had to play every teams games. I wonder if it is different for those who started with consoles or computer games.

Tycobbler · 06-29-2003, 07:25 PM

I play the marquee ones. The games where we get a shot at the division leader ( currently in 1911), or the one's against the previous years Champion.
Yeah you're right about the dice rolling days. I played APBA baseball, late 1970's, similar to stratomatic, of which i played some. Yeah you had to play all your games through for every team to get through your season and you know, that was a lot of fun.

Cuss16 · 06-29-2003, 08:00 PM

I voted for the stupid poll, coz i thought it was funny.

Seriously though, i only play out all my games with the real roster since that's the only way i can get into it. I prefer ficitonal rosters tho, even if i dont play out every game.

Wilt · 06-29-2003, 09:44 PM

I used to play them out, then went to simming full seasons on one day.

I have recently gone back to playing out each game and I had forgotten how fun it is!

Drood · 06-29-2003, 09:50 PM

I only have OOTP4.

I sim entire seasons. I OCCASIONALLY play the All Star game (if I have a preference for a league).

edm · 06-29-2003, 11:17 PM

I do both.

In my first league, with real rosters, I play out every game with the Phils. I will only play out the current season with this league.

In my fictional league, I sim every game. This is my franchise/mananger league.

Andy · 06-29-2003, 11:27 PM

I play out every game, it's just not as fun simming IMO.

Steve Kuffrey · 06-29-2003, 11:34 PM

I play all of mine out, I have a league still going that I began w/ OOTP3.

mh2365 · 06-29-2003, 11:40 PM

I play the first game of every series ... so roughly 33% of the season ... usually once I clinch a playoff spot I'll sim to the postseason

Mark Edward · 06-29-2003, 11:59 PM

I play all of mine out. I don't know, I just like it that way.

By the way: Wilt, where did you get that video in your .sig? I have a friend who would love it.

El Caballo · 06-30-2003, 01:07 AM

I usually have one season to sim all the games and one season to play all the games.

HolyCow98 · 06-30-2003, 02:34 AM

I play out all my games...the deepest way to get to know your players, team and league....

I HAD a league I had started back in OOTP 3 but like a idiot...I deleted...thought I had a back up...alas, I didn't..

Its hell to try and rekindle the same connection...I had started with the OOTP 3 default rosters..and renamed all the players to their real-life counterparts...Rafael Furcal was like 20 when I started...he was 37 the last time I played it...was just weeks from getting 3000 hits...damn it...lol...
