You could manually remake him but that would require you to look at all the attributes, all the values for looks, the gear etc. but it won't take more than a half hour if you know what you#re doing

I think they also need to provide commentary for more big milestones. For example, I hit Ohtani’s 40th home-run of the season to join the 40-50 club in franchise mode, and the commentators didn’t even mention that. No mention of him joining a 40-40 club that only had five players in it entering this season. You’d think they could mention it and show a list of the players, maybe even along with their teams and the years they did it. If it’s done at home, I believe a curtain call would even be appropriate.

Having the same problem here! Read a couple people from previous years with solutions like making a trade and adjusting your depth chart, but seems like this is a new update issue. Time to get to tweetin

I'll try that, Thanks a ton

@PriorFir4383355_XBL I was of that very same opinion regarding both 99 being a hard cap and secondary positions being limited to the combinations intended in the game itself. However, I have come across rosters defying both logics. What eludes me though, is the understanding of how that may be achieved.

That's what franchise mode is and MTO is

In real life, all prospects born in Canada, the United States, Mexico, and any U.S. territory, for example, Puerto Rico, are eligible after six consecutive years in the minor leagues without a promotion to the majors or a failure to be added to the 40-man Roster. For international prospects, they are eligible after four years of service. During the offseason of your franchise, there will be a list of eligible Rule 5 players that you will have to choose to add or accept to your 40-man, or decline, and leave that player unprotected, to be eligible to be drafted by any team. Click that button to perform that action and choose those players that you want to keep, if any. I hope this helps you understand this process and makes this easier for you.

I think it would be cool if they would let you import legends into franchise as rookies. It sucks to put Ruth into the Yankees lineup on day 1 he hits 715th home run of his career. I love the career stat feature and putting the legends in the way they are just makes it so unrealistic

Thank you

I had to wait until he retired lol.

I will have to try that next time. Throw one behind the batter or into the mesh behind the plate LOL

SDS sent out a patch that did help with that and gave everyone a better K ratio. I still get those 10 -15 pitch at bats, but they have come down from 20 pitch at bats.
I am getting around 10 k's per game from my pictures and pitching on Hall of fame. I am not striking out maybe 2 maybe 3 times a game. I keep lowering my contact in my sliders to make me swing and miss more often. I have found that the batters will swing at pitches out of the strike zone when you have worked them during the at bat, but you will find you have thrown 10-12 pitches to do that.
It's not unusual for my pitchers to have 60+ [pitches in the 3rd inning because of this. Do i wish it was more realistic? yes, but It is a game that has what I do believe per-determined outcomes....like how many times when you hit a batter, the count is 1 and 2, most everytime.

After messing around with it, I ended up finally realizing this - thanks for the confirmation!
