@thelueb13 said in Minor ?league options:

Apologies if this has been addressed but does anyone know the reason many of the minor league players already have all 3 minor league options used up, or 2 out of 3 when they have never been to the big leagues, or only been up once?

This is very restrictive when trying to manage rosters.

set CPU roster control ON to manage rosters more efficiently

How will this fix (or lessen) the options used?

by managing rosters on CPU roster control you could send down/call up without using options.
give it a try and experiment

I'm not sure I understand.

If I have a prospect on my 40-man roster and I option him to the minor leagues and he's there for 20 days, one of his options is used for that season. So, if he had 3 options available he now has 2 when the next season starts, yes?

I don't understand how it makes a difference whether I option him or the cpu options him to the minors. If the player meets the criteria, an option should be used, no? Thus, if players are starting with the wrong amount of options available (like the OP is claiming) then, from an organizational standpoint, you'll be forced into decisions about the player prematurely. Which is kind of troublesome if you're trying to develop a prospect for your future.

the setting allows more manual control, basically overriding the need for 3/3 option rule

doesn't eliminate the problem OP mentioned if CPU roster control setting is OFF

@joshjays44 said in Doing a Franchise feels weird now.:

Every year I look forward to doing a Franchise/Season....I should really say Season cause I don't do what some of you do which is play multiple years/season, I just do one year...the current year of the game. But now that there isn't an actual real season I don't feel the need to do one cause I usually mimic RL baseball..the trades and players performance. I usually stay 2 months behind the real season to mimic that but now there isn't anything to project my season to...feels weird.

Maybe pick a year you didn’t play and use the custom rosters people make to do that year? You could find transaction history and all that pretty easy, probably wouldn’t be a half bad idea

I play every year dude, 2020 is on a stand till now hopefully until July then I'll start my season 🙂

@ZoNa_DEEZO said in 2/3 Options Issue:

Soo...can we get any update on when an update is coming that fixes the 2/3 Minor League Option issue? Devs...anyone...kind of a franchise killer...

try CPU roster control ON, much smoother franchise experience

Won't this disallow me from making the moves I want?

if anything it allows more control over the moves you want to make

Can admin move this to Diamond Dynasty

This won't help but I share in your frustration. I still don't know how to correctly navigate the budget part of franchise mode. Just make it straight forward. None of this weekly budget BS.

After "playing around with the options" in the game, I found the best setting to use that doesn't show the "Pulse Meter".....thanks to those who gave a bit of help to me. I very much appreciate it.

@MalignantPlague said in Catcher Glove Doesn't Appear Telling Me Where To Pitch The Ball:

I've been having this same issue on All-Star pitching difficulty with API turned on as well. It shows up on certain pitches in the count, but usually not the first pitch and just kind of randomly throughout the at-bat. I even went back to The Show 19 to make sure I wasn't just remembering it wrong, but no something is screwed up with the game at this moment.

Turn off the stupid cinematic pitch selection screen( where it shows the pitcher from a different camera and the pitch selection is in the bottom of the screen), I did and the mitt is always there. It like disappears before you get to the pitch screen. I put it in quick play and it works

Had this happen in reds mto, everyone in pen with over 60 appearances one guy at 52 and then strop only had 16, and I think most of those were me bringing him in

@checkmate84 said in MLB the show 20 Thank you:

First, I want to say thank you to the individuals who create this amazing game. I haven't logged onto this site in a while til now, and all I've read so far is a bunch of people who play the game don't seem very grateful for what they have. Especially now when so much of our lives have been taken away due to this global crisis.

I really enjoy this years game. I'm playing with the Tigers in franchise mode (my favorite mode of all time). I play one game a day. Because I play one game a day I really get into it. I try to work the count, be selective and at times the umpire calls a strike when it's clearly a ball, and a ball when it's clearly a strike (kinda seems realistic to me). And yet I hear people complain about the home plate umpire making bad calls. Seriously? Step back and truly look at far baseball gaming has come, look at the amazing graphics, the stadiums the sounds you hear. The lady softly chanting Cabreras' name while he is at bat.

This game is unreal. These people work hard to please you fans and every year I hear more negative comments than positive. It's a game, it could be way worse. Why wait for some "official" rosters, just play it's a game it will never be %100 realistic like how you want. Too much analysis becomes paralysis.

One other thing, my first game of my Tigers franchise I threw a perfect game with Boyd (11 strikes outs) on dynamic all star difficultly to start because we are able to choose before starting the game for the first time out the box. I struck out the first batter of the 9th inning and Boyd flew off the mound swinging his fist with passion. That little animation, Boyd showing passion and Understanding the situation...really felt like it meant something. Those little things make a game fun. Anyways, thank you for reading this and hope everyone appreciates a little more, complain a little less and have fun. What's kind of funny, I complained about people complaining. Lol

Thank you, to all the people who made MLB the Show 20. You guys/girls did an amazing job.

Well said. Great post mate!

One of my favorites is the Brewers gold prospect card, Corey Ray. He’s a decent prospect IRL. His prospect card is a gold with bronze hitting and bronze fielding. Tell me how that works?

@cuteredheadboy said in GAVIN LUX not available??:

Anyone figure out how to get Gavin lux in franchise mode on the Dodgers? Thanks.

they added him about a week ago. unfortunately you cant import players once you start the franchise, so if you don't want to start a new franchise with the updated rosters I would recommend manually creating him and copying his appearance/stats

Is it the Metrodome that is more lookalike the Olympic stadium ?? Still wondering where to begin my Franchise with the Expos ! I was thinking about letting them in Tropicana field too since it may be look like a new Montreal Downtown stadium.

Tks guys, at least i've played only one game so it won't be too painful to start all over again to make sure are the uniforms details are at my taste.

I did a MTO with Angels and he would DH on days the CPU set the lineup(due to starting players energy) on the days he was scheduled to pitch, he got rocked, he had an ERA over 7 for the year, it would not let me take him out of the rotation. My guess is that he never got enough rest.

Agreed but with the way that challenges are built into the game at present it wouldn’t be worthwhile. I reckon it would need a complete overhaul.

Thanks for the info!
