MLB The Show: Chin Music Style

[Nationals GM (corkzilla)]

So...I've been working a couple hours from home, staying in an apartment during the week. Needless to say it gets pretty damn boring. I decided to spend a shit-ton of hours to shape the rosters in the game to those of our Chin Music teams and run a season long sim just to see how it shook out. I tried to set it as such that the computer wouldn't make a bunch of trades/drops/adds but that part is damn near impossible. Next I will attempt to legitimately play all 162 of my Nats games on here. Anyways, here's the results for anyone who might be interested.

[Cubs GM (Scott B)]

Awesome. Hope Harper and Aaron Hicks start hitting at the rates they did in your game!

I was really pissed at the stats part. I didn’t look at them until after the WS and it only showed playoff stats. I had to go in to individual player cards to look at their 2019 stats.

[Twins GM (Mike)]

I can get behind this! Cole!

[Dodgers GM (matty)]

Swept by the Cubbies! Looking forward to that

This is sort of bullshit. How long did it take to sim a season? Like, did it just sim W/L or did it actually sim each individual game/ab/pitch?

[Nationals GM (corkzilla)]

I'm not sure what you mean. I mean, the screen didn't pop up each and every individual game and go pitch by pitch, no...that would take an insane amount of time. You're talking 4,860 games just to sim a regular season.

It took about 10 minutes to sim the whole season.

[D Backs GM (Tyler)]

I guess there is no way for you to know this, but does every game have its own play by play and box score? Or is it just "here are the totals" at the end? (that was my poorly worded question)

[White Sox GM (alligatorchris)]

I think you should post interesting stats from all 4,860 games with probable starters and you should sim injuries along with "slut wife cheating" bereavement. This is a disgrace and clearly an unrealistic view of our league.

[White Sox GM (alligatorchris)]

Furthermore Cork, I believe you are no longer as formidable opponent since replacing the fat guy on the slip and slide.

I agree. When I'm back contending, I will change it.

Although, last year while defending my title I think I finished 4th or 5th when the "regular season" ended so...

Oh, yes. Each game has an individual box score. I could have paused/stopped the simulation at any time and checked any game on any day.
