I'm ok with it as long as they don't start us from behind in every flippin game

hopefully they make a change to allow you to control call ups. There’s guys in my minor league system that i’d much rather have at the big league level

@BodamEscapePlan said in Trades:

Just started a Kansas City Royals March To October and the first trade I made was for Eric Thames, who was on my Targets list.

Right now, my Targets list consists of these four players:

Kyle Schwarber, OF/C Josh Hader, CP Freddie Freeman, 1B/3B Joc Pederson, OF/1B

I don’t know if I’ve seen anyone get shwarber. But have definitely seen the other 3. I am pretty certain at least Joc will pop up.

@brewersfan1515 said in Can I play MTO offline and still earn Affinity points?:

I want to grind on MTO while offline, and am wondering can I still earn progress for team affinity points if I play the mode without a connection.
Can I play offline and then just reconnect once I finish it and claim my rewards on DD. Is this possible?

You should. Then when you login you will get the affinity. But, people have had issues with this mode. I haven’t seen issues with what exactly you are saying though.

Out of curiosity, why aren’t you always logged in?

Yeah it doesn't seem to do much. Still like keeping it high though. God knows how many runs it would start me down by if the momentum was cold...

LOLZ.
Happened to me last season in RTTS.

I know. At the end of your season, you have the option to continue with that team in a franchise.

I'm a Cards fan, but I started a Rangers season bc I have Molina and Ohtani. Soooo..

Can we not make call ups from the system? I see a few that would be very useful for me Does the CPU change your lineup every game? I have yet to see my lineup used

MTO does not use your DD squad.

Yeah I figured that, honestly I may have grabbed another FOTF to start instead of Molina as I have EVO Pudge and he ain't coming out for a while. I like real life Molina, but he isn't as useful for me in a game, maybe a clutch pinch hitter, backup C

If your signed in on your PS plus account it should automatically connect.

Yeah, there just aren't many great catchers in the game right now. We got Yadier Molina and Buster Posey on the downslide of their careers; then you got the up-and-comers like Willson Contreras, Mitch Garver, and Christian Vasquez; you got your established vets in Yasmani Grandal, Gary Sanchez, Roberto Perez, and Salvador Perez; and of course, the one elite player in J.T. Realmuto.

Luckily, it won't be long before Adley Rutschman and Joey Bart are knocking on the door to be elite players at the catcher position. Then you got guys like Sean Murphy who could surprise in the same vein as J.T. Realmuto did.

I was playing a season as the D Backs. Had a 4 game lead in the wildcard race. I lost a game to the Dodgers and went from my heat meter being half full, to ice cold. After just one L. Lost like 5 in row. (simmed) then got a situation I was two runs down against the Dodgers. Lost that. Lost a another couple simmed game. Got knocked out of the race by 2 games. So dropped it from Dynamic HOF to beginner for the final week. I got 5 points. It said my average for the second half was on beginner level. It never went below All star until I dropped it... Such a joke.

They legit need to fire the whole team. Because they are completely clueless or SDS is that hard up for money and want to push buying packs.

Dont keep going!! I just won the ALDS and after I won it said it cant authenticate from my console. Unreal

@MathMan5072 said in Any other rewards ?:

The rewards are the affinity. There are no other MTO specific rewards. If you want, you can then take your team and continue a Franchise with that specific team.

If you are just looking to grind affinity and you can do the showdowns easily, then just do the Showdowns.

If you are looking for a more relaxed way to collect affinity, I highly suggest MTO.

Clearly answered my question ! Thanks bro !

NLCS Update!!!!
Invoking the spirit of the 2003 Marlins, the miracle Marlins of 2020 took on the Chicago Cubs.
I easily won the first game 5-4 in 10 innings (started even)
Cruised in game 2 behind Pablo Lopez 5-0 (started up 2)

Now comes game 3 in Miami.
It had all the makings of a typical Miami game. The place was sold out.
Steve Bartman threw out the 1st pitch.
I was trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the 9th and Kimbrel was dealing.
I have trouble with fastballs and he blew away my first 2 hitters. 2 outs and I was dejected. I decided to sell out on the high fastball.
I managed a late swing opposite field base hit by Corey Dickerson. There is hope.
Up stepped Brian Anderson and once again I was selling out on the high fast ball.
1st pitch breaking ball, dot - Strike 1
2nd pitch Fast ball on the edge, an absolute dot 0-2
I foul off 2 pitches and on the 5th pitch of the at bat Kimbrel throws a 99 mph fastball.
PLAKATA !!!! Anderson deposits the ball into the Budweiser stands in left center field. TIED GAME !!!
I have never been more pumped playing this game as I was in that moment.
the whole presentation of MTO only enhanced the moment.
I won the game on a Jorge Alfaro walk off blast in the 10th!!!
Game 4 was the clincher behind a complete game by Caleb Smith 2-0.

The Marlins are going to the World Series!!!
Next up the 110 game winners with the best record in the MLB, the Minnesota Twins.
The small market World Series is on!!!

I’ve had it follow up with another trade offer. However, I also declined one on a different season right near the trade deadline and didn’t receive another in time. Double-edged sword.

It is a grind, but you get the same or more affinity that you do for the regular season.
