I haven't finished a season yet (not even a month) because I'm too busy managing each game thx to you producing such a gripping game.

For career play I love making fictional associations and using fictional players. I absolutely love watching an association develope its own history.

When I use real players I will just replay one season. For example, one of my favorite things to do with any baseball simulator is to replay the 1986 season. I always try to get my Red Sox back to the Series and avoid the dreaded "Game 6". I was 11 years old that year and I will never forget that team or season.

Thanks for the great game Shaun! It is like have have the best of both worlds. A game where I can do season replays AND create my own fictional leagues with my own drafts/ players/ teams.

The only problem I have is finding enough time to play!

I like to start with a fictional base and then mix in hall of famers as the league progresses through the years. I get the pleasure of having unknowns develop side-by-side with the "real" greats.

Yeah, 86 was the year that Sports Illustrated said that my Indians had the best team in baseball before the season started. They went on to lose over 100 games. Great year to start!

I usually pick a year and start a career with real players from that year. Then I continue from then adding fictional players.

Status: offline 		I have to admit that as I am learning how to play a new game, I tend to use real players as I can better understand some of what is going on. There is a little less worrying about players abilities to start as you already have a basic idea of how they should play. I also understand that the game does not know names, but it is a good starting point for me.

Once I can get the game figured out, I would love to run a fictional league.

I have not tried playing a historical career, but who knows in the future.

I am still learning, so right now I playing with the 2005 Cubbies.

- Took the Pirates from 1955 to 1958, winning the series in 58, 2 years earlier than real life.
- Created a fictional league based of the teams from the Golden Baseball League
- Replaying the 1980 Phillies
- Replaying the 2005 Padres

Im having a blast right now managing every game! I traded for Bob Feller and Warren Spahn as my top two starters! I love the history and detail using real players but Im sure Ill try fictional teams at some point as well.... Im loving all the options!

Sorry to OT a bit, but do you not manage any games? I'm not even out of April yet in my first season...managed every game.

That said, I think it's great that Shaun has created a game that both "stats" peeps and "game" peeps can play.

I've managed every game of my current career, and am nearing the end of my fourth season. I cranked the 'simulation speed' up to as high as it would go, and turned ball animations off - its the only way to get through 162 games! It takes me less than 5 minutes per game at the moment... but its still been many hours of play!

I do slow things back down for crucial late-season games, and the playoffs, and will periodically break off into lengthy roster moves, whether its negotiating contracts, searching for trades, or re-balancing my lineup according to current performance.

In a single season replay, I manage every game, but in most other associations I sim a week at a time until a crucial series, then I jump in and manage.

Status: offline 		I'm not a huge baseball fan(Cricket's more my game but it's growing on me)but I love history and baseball reeks of it so what I really like about this game is creating a fictional history.Plus it's cool to put yourself into the game and see how you go over the years(I wish cricket had a game as good as this)
