@HollaMV7 said in Does MTO Autosave?:

What about if just want to quit a particular game and move on to the next moment. Can you do that?

Nope. you have no choice but to play it out.

@Brown_Sound12 said in When the CPU wants you to lose...:

MTO is a compete joke. Screw job everytime. CPU slows fielders down. Crappy hitters lime Eric Sogard hit dingers off low pitches. Joke

Dude. No shame in my game. I go auto fielding all the time now. We still have to make the throws, though.

I finished the Yankees yesterday and I didn't receive double. Was playing on Veteran.

Are you sure? I got double last night around 10 pst.

Hell, I don't know...anythings possible. I was at a point where i thought i would have gotten enough for the next dude after Gleyber if they were giving out double points but Im pretty sure i didn't get him. I could be wrong...it's happened before! Insert shoulder shrug emoji.

@dantheranman said in How do team tiers affect your TA rewards?:

There's really no difference in the points earned in the season so long as you surpass your expected win total. Win your moments, make championship run trades (trade away your prospects for older players that will help you win now) and it will take care of itself.

Does it allow you to make more than one trade?

Yeah it will pop up quite a few times, it's random who gets offered though

Every year we broke Seattle's regular season record in the 4 i've done all 162 with. I looked up in my last one and saw Conforto had 53 HR. [censored]!

Agreed!

I've seen the same. While i love the MTO concept, there are so many things that are jacked up with it that the fun kinda gets taken away. Pitcher stamina, no control over call ups, lineups always reverting back to the default, only getting offered the same players pretty much with every team, momentum playing no role in playoffs, etc. But it's still better than RS.

@MathMan5072 said in Question:

This happens in September a lot. What month are you in?

Ok. I was in August and September. Thanks!

I’ve also completed the no hitters twice on veteran. Had failed many many times before. Most of the time in the last inning with only and out or two remaining.

Thank You!

@EvylShaun said in Difficulty/Moments:

In my experience playing on the highest setting where you can "Exceed your expected wins" is how you get the most affinity points. Exceeding wins on Veteran will yield more than Expected wins on allstar.

The exceeded wins points total is if you add up all the max points listed when choosing your difficulty. Veteran is 52 - so from 0 you can earn the FOTF, and from 70 you can earn the Future Star just from 1 veteran world series win if you exceed your expected wins at the all star break and seasons end.

Appreciate the feedback

Playing on Legend in the ALCS vs the Yankees. As if it wasn't hard enough I have to deal with the worst fielding engine I've ever seen. Routine fly ball and I'm tracking it...all of a sudden the game will not let me get under the ball and it bounces 1 inch in front of my fielder's glove for a base hit.

I can't deal with this nonsense anymore.

EDIT: Very next player hits a ball into the gap and my fielder runs past the grounded ball and then inexplicably starts running away from it towards the foul line.

Did one last night with Cards in WS.

Every time there is a trade, call up, player lock, mid season, playoff series, or anything different the CPU changes the lineup. It’s so frustrating having to check your lineup and having to waste a bench bat to fix your lineup every time you start a new game. The bullpen is even worse, I purposely move pictchers to long relief so I don’t have to pitch with them, only to have them returned a couples of games later by CPU.

I want to have control over my defensive alignment in those pitcher lock moments. I don’t know how many cheap doubles that I’ve given up to the shift or not guarding the lines in key situations.

Angels
I did regular season hall of fame. SDS changed affinity with the last patch so I got a lot more points after the all star break even though both were max. After losing the first playoff game, I dropped to all star because I didn’t want to have to play 3 full games if I lost the next one. I beat the braves in the World Series.

Trades: Villar for prospect. I tried to go after some big names, but never really got great offers.

Pre All Star game
11 above expected on hall of fame
+12 affinity
12-7 record
4 hours

Post All Star
13 above expected on hall of game
+17 affinity
7-1 record
2.5 hours

Playoffs
11-3 record
3 started with lead
5 started behind
6 started tied
All started in the 5th or 6th except one in the 4th
5 hours

Total time: 11.5 hours
Total affinity: 65

Definitely would have been less time if I didn’t play 14 total extra innings and I had one game player locked as a pitcher after calling him up from minors. Several people say that it can be done in 8 hours if you push it and avoid extras or pitching.

I tried my first 1 on VET and it seem to only take 4 hours for Reg Season, 3 hours for PO. When I tried on AS it took longer, I lost more games had to play more games and more games in extra innings. For time it is better just to play on Vet destroy the CPU and only do the reg season. I am just doing it for TA and for fun and I will continue to play on VET.

The extra innings add up. A few here a few there and all of a sudden you’ve played an extra hour. You also want to avoid player lock as a pitcher if possible by not calling one up or trading for one.

Yeah I figure that one out after the first go around, and trading for 1 take another 20-30 min. I will avoid that maybe depending on team I am using.

@Psycho__Kinetic said in Team Affinity Points:

Are points awarded for hitting or pitching stats? Or is it just based on where you stand at certain points of the season?

Based on Wins
Mid Season
End of Season
Each Round of Playoffs

ON VET the max is 52
11
11
5
10
15

The hard the difficulty the more TA points if you can MAX out.

I had to start a game top of the 4th.

Just finished my eighth regular season in MtO, with the Nats. Sure enough, Ohtani finished 5-17 with a 9.17 ERA, 161IP 225Ks 30Hrs allowed 2.17WHIP. 2 Quality Starts though, so there's that.

edit - also this MtO became an absolute slog with how frequently the game wanted me to finish a No-hitter with Patrick Corbin after the AS break.

Reminds me of Rich Hill's No-No vs the pirates a few years ago. 0-0 game, went into the bottom 10 and gave up a solo shot for the loss
