Playing franchise mode has always been my favorite part of sports games. I started a Brewer franchise today and played the first game, against the Giants.
It was a battle between two of the best young pitchers in baseball, Lincecum and Gallardo. However Lincecum didn't exactly live up to his Cy Young performance last year. He only pitched 5 innings, giving up 3 runs. I was playing on Pro difficulty because I struggled with hitting in the demo (zero homeruns in 12+ innings). That changed against the Giants, after Lincecum gave up 2 home runs, the Giants went to there bullpen; which was a very bad move. I scored 13 runs, on 24 hits, including 6 homeruns.
The top of my batting order was insane:
Rickie Weeks: Hit for the cycle.
JJ Hardy: 6/6 hitting.
Ryan Braun: Two Homeruns
Prince Fielder: Two Homeruns
I think it's time to go to All Pro.
Gallardo was solid, he pitched 6 innings and gave up two runs. He only pitched 50 some pitches though. The computer is way to aggresive with its hitting.
Final score: 13-2.
So how is everyone else doing with their franchises?
