@Data782

Жыл бұрын

Hey! Appreciate you taking the time to watch! Honestly, I tried to keep things general because it can be difficult to go into the nuances of roster management in the offseason. Each team has dozens and dozens of players - each of which is unique in terms of his own contract status. The important things to remember are the things that I laid out: utilize the renewable contract trick, try not to burn years of RNW/ARB too quickly as you will reach free agent eligibility before you know it, be sure to keep your organizational needs in mind as you don't want to overpopulate one position too heavily (look at depth chart), and, of course, keep your budget in mind (especially if considering front/back-loading a contract). I apologize if there was some trouble getting all of that in this video - it was quite lengthy so I could see how some information could get lost haha. I hope that this will be helpful for you, feel free to leave any other questions, and good luck in your franchise mode! :)

Hi, thanks for the great video. How do you deal with fatigue management? Do I have to change the lineup every game or there's a better way? Thanks again for your work!!

@Data782

13 күн бұрын

Hi there! Thanks for the kind words :) You don't have to really deal with fatigue management, the game will take care of that for you for the most part! The best way in theory would be to set your lineups to "auto" but, that'd also play with the batting order/even bench players who you don't want benched. Leaving it on manual will still give your bench players at-bats when your starters get fatigued, but some will play more than others. Keeping an eye on things is a good way to make sure it's all going smoothly but no, I wouldn't say you need to be stressed about rotating every game. Hope that helps!

As a someone who never played MLB franchise I find it very helpful mate , scouting department got me fired up to play this mode , now I have to Google teams that never won World Series and let the grind begin , altough I’m not sure if chosing that kind of team for the first time is a good idea

The game will automatically download the newest versions when they become available on a biweekly basis. If you want to double check this.. 1. Open up MLB The Show 23 and go to main menu. 2. Go to the "Settings" in the top right corner. 3. Select the "File Management" and then "Load." 4. Select "Rosters" and then "Live Roster." And you're good to go! If there's something missing/an update is taking too long, you can always download a custom one from the roster vault (2:32). Hope that helps! :)

Hey! Thank you kindly! :) I gotta say that I don't manage fatigue tooooo too much unless I'm simulating game-by-game. When doing so, like in the playoffs, you can see each player's energy level and make decisions about who's in and who's out. Otherwise, I just make sure to have good options at each position (or at least players who are eligible for multiple positions) on the bench and let the AI manager decide as the season simulates. Hope that helps! ;)

Awesome video!. Im not sure if my situation was answered though, hopefully you can help. I ran a full season with two teams. one NL and one AL. automatic save was on as soon as I advanced the day. When I got to the final day of the season, I made a separate save for that day thinking I would be able to go through the playoffs once with my NL team, then go back and load up the separate save file and then play though with my AL team. So far, when I go to "Load file" it says there are no files to load. I can only see the file I saved at the beginning of the playoffs in the save screen. how do I access that file/day in the season so I can go through the playoffs again?

@Data782

4 ай бұрын

Hey there! Thanks for the kind words! :) That's a tough question.. In theory, creating a separate save file should be all that you need to do. I'd try something like going into the Franchise Mode and saving one file as, say, "AL" and then do the exact same thing and call it "NL." Before advancing a day, I'd exit Franchise and go to "load file" and check if the two AL and NL titled files are there. Sometimes things can get messed up when the save files are called the date and they may save over one another. Give that a shot and let me know what you see!

If I’m playing some at-bats and pitching situations to help improve player stats and team success, does that have any impact on player development, overall, or trade value?

@Data782

In short, it's possible! If you're going in often enough and having enough success that a player's stats are improving as a direct result of your intervention, then development and overall may improve in turn. For trade value, potential/contract/service time/etc. will also come into play so I don't believe that a player's performance has too much impact on that. However, if the player performs so well that the overall/potential increases, then that would have an influence on the bigger picture.

So I’m playing mlb the show 24 and I want to play as the dodgers, and I can edit the lineup and whatnot, but all the other teams I cannot change. I don’t want to be responsible for those teams but for example, Kyle Tucker is batting leadoff for the Astros…. How can I change that???

@Data782

2 ай бұрын

You unfortunately cannot change anything about another team such as its lineup unless you add them as one of the teams you are in control of before beginning your Franchise Mode save file! The only workaround I can think of might be to take control of the Dodgers AND the Astros, but set everything to auto except for the lineups and then edit those yourself. The downside of that is that I don't think you can make some things auto and others manual for different teams - it'd be one setting across the mode. On top of that, if you set the lineups to manual, you'd be continually notified about injuries and how the lineup for the other teams must be fixed. All that to say, if you REALLY want to control only the lineup of another team, it's possible, but will present some other headaches that I don't think would make the endeavor worth your while. Hope that helps and feel free to leave any other questions!

Is there a way to only play offense/batting, and to do that for human controlled team? That would be a nice way to do some batting practice without having to endure the monotonous custom practice.

@Data782

Unless I'm missing something, I don't believe that there's a way to "lock" onto just offense/batting for your entire team.

Let me know if that helps or if I could clarify anything else!

30:01 When you say that some stats in training don't impact simulation (like control, velocity, break for pitchers), does this include CPU v. CPU watch mode? I don't take over and control players - I just watch the games play out. Would those stats impact the gameplay?

Re: improvement of young players, is thwre any sort of slider to their improvements where an A potential gets better faster by playing well in the mlb than he would in triple a, vs double a? Also even if you're training a relief or closing pitcher is it still pointless to use bullpen?

@Data782

10 ай бұрын

Hey there! In my experience, yes, the higher the potential = the higher the rate of improvement. However, that's not a guarantee as you'll still sometimes get A-potential prospects who stall or C-potential prospects who have a big spurt thanks to everything going right. In regard to which league is best for their development, I wouldn't say one or the other will increase that speed. Rather, playing them in the league in which they get the most playing time is what's best. For example, I may have, say, a catcher prospect who's good enough for AAA but I also have another prospect who's already my AAA starter. In most circumstances, I'd rather play one in AAA and one in AA so that they can both get 500-600+ ABs as opposed to splitting time. In regard to your last question, I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to. Training is always good for overall attribute development no matter the circumstances. Hope that helps and feel free to follow up!

@@Data782 the first part helps a lot! On the last part, there's a section in this video that references training for pitchers and you say you only train them on what improves h/9 bb/9 and all that which I usually do for starters. But for closers, or pitchers with really low control or breaking, do you still do the same with them ? Because I've had mine on training control/breaking but if it's pointless as you say I want to change it. Either way this video helped tremendously I come back to it daily and going into year 4 I finally feel like I'm up to speed on how to develop the entire roster. I only started focusing on scouting and minor league rosters in yr 3 but I love the depth they put in this year, for a sim head it really makes you get immersed in double and triple a rosters.

The AI was messeing with my roster and it sent multiple players to Designated for Assignment, how do I fix that and get the AI to STOP doing this? I need these players lol

@Data782

8 ай бұрын

Hey there! I would assume that you have everything set to "manual" yet this is still happening? If so, my next assumption would be that it always happens after the end of Spring Training and the AI makes decisions without first asking you? If my assumptions above are correct, then I have a simple fix! To keep the AI from designating players for assignment, make sure that you manually fix your roster BEFORE ending spring training/starting the regular season. Your roster must be cut down to 26 players by a certain date and, if you don't do it yourself, then the AI will designate players for assignment to make everything work and this is where the problem arises. Let me know if that answers your question! If it's happening randomly at other times, you have some management settings set to "auto" and/or you are clicking "auto fix" when something like an injury comes up during simulation.

I’m fairly certain the part where you talk about “downloading from the cloud” means you can carry over from previous mlb the show games is inaccurate. They discontinued year-to-year saves a few iterations ago.

I'm not sure if that's the case but now I'm curious! I just went back to The Show 22 and was able to upload my franchise to the cloud, but does that mean that it is now only saved in the cloud for 22 (for recovery purposes?) and cannot be transferred to 23? I believe the last time that I actually attempted to transfer a previous Franchise save was in 20 or 21 but, since the screens/options hadn't changed and uploading to the cloud was still available, I hadn't considered the possibility that you mentioned. I'll have to keep researching!

Yo, im using a closing pitcher i created and i cant make him a two player yet, but i can put him in the lineups, but when i play a game and player lock my first at bat i get to play, but after that the game switches my player out and i cant put him back him back in idk how to correct this

@Data782

3 ай бұрын

Hey! So you created a closing pitcher, have them in your Franchise Mode, and have been able to put them in your lineup. Furthermore, you've been player locking to the player but the issue is that the game keeps substituting them. Gotcha. Essentially, if you're player locked, there's no way to fix this The game will always make those substitutions based on its own thought process. A work-around might be to quick manage each game instead. That way, you can run through the game quickly but stop and enter every time that player is at bat. Let me know what you think of that and good luck!

@Data782

Hey there! This can be a confusing one so follow these steps carefully from the beginning of when a player is created: 1. Press "create" in the top right corner of the main screen. Press "roster control." 2. Press "create player" and do exactly that. 3. When done, press "Finish" (OPTIONS button on PS4), and select "free agent pool and export player." 4. Save your player file under any name. 5. Now that the player has been created and is saved, while still on the "create" page, go to "roster control." 6. Choose the team that you want the created player to go to and select "manage roster/import player." 7. If your created player is a pitcher, select any pitcher from that team. If the created player is a position player, select any position player. 8. Scroll down to and select "import pitcher" or "import position player." 9. Select the save file that you saved your created player as. That player is now on that team's roster. 10. To SAVE these changes, exit out and go to go to Settings (top right corner) --> File Management --> Save --> Roster (should have a checkmark next to it since changes have been made). And voila! That created player is now on that team and should be there when you start up a new franchise mode! Let me know if it all works out :)

Hey! It would depend on what you mean by "change." Like if you want to change which stadium you play in, you can do that every game that you play. If you want to change your team's home stadium, you can set that in "rebrand" during the offseason. If you want to edit the stadium itself and nothing else, that's an interesting one. Within Franchise Mode, I'm fairly certain that you can't. However, if you were to download a stadium from the community vault or make one yourself outside of Franchise Mode, you should be able to use it in an already-existing Franchise.
