@drlawson03_psn said in You need to allow LIVE rosters to be used at beginning of MTO:

There should be an option at the beginning of a new MTO to either use default rosters or to load live rosters. I don't mean allow edited rosters, just the live updates you post yourselves. There's ZERO reason not to allow that.

I'm going to use Julio Rodriguez as the perfect example of why this needs to change.

Default rosters have his speed in the 50's, but the updated live roster has it at 98.

Speed is one attribute that NEVER INCREASES THIS DRASTICALLY with normal progression of the game.

Now, someone please give a LOGICAL reason this can't happen, or change the game and make your customers happy.

Thank you

MTO is supposed to be you playing as a team at the beginning of the year. Updated rosters would have you playing from now. It is your job to work your team up to win the WS. Yes Julio Rodriguez is low, but Robbie Ray is high. Nestor Cortes is low, but Joey Gallo is high. If you do well with Rodriguez his stats will go up, but no one predicted he'd be an all-star this year. If this is changed, you might as well just go play Franchise.

Got the game late in the year for once in ages, but if this all is true then why did my season start with Oswaldo Cabrera? Furthermore, there are 2 collectible cards of him, but no face scan?

MTO is supposed to be the team as of opening day. I don't know why he would be on the team. He didn't get called up until August, although he was on the 40 man roster for ST. They're usually pretty good with that. Was Gallo still on the team? I'm thinking it might have had something to do with him being placed on the 7 day IL at the end on Spring training, keeping him on the 28 man roster instead of the 26 we usually have? I'll start a new one later and check mine.

Welcome to the club. I am on my 4th March to October save campaign because of strikes. I have hundreds of hours into this game if I was going to cheat I would not be doing it on a safe file that I've spent 100hrs of hours to get 15 seasons into the future. I did open a ticket with Sony San Diego after which I got a notice that they were horribly behind so after 7 or 8 days I got a canned response and my ticket was closed.

This happens to me frequently. I'm a member of the alpha program with Xbox and if I happen to be playing the show when I receive an alpha update it always gives me a strike I have now had three saves totaling around 15 seasons of March to October receive the ban. I don't know why the show is not capable of looking at the logs and determining that it is not me s******* off my console to avoid losing a game and that the termination of my internet connection and closing of the game is due to the update I opened a ticket with Sony San Diego and got blown off. I am exceedingly frustrated because the last time that it happened I had finally gotten to the point where I had played consistently long enough so that all of the current players and Major League baseball were retired and I was running solely on computer generated players statistics. I also do not play any online leagues or any of the online content all I play is road to the show March October and the home run Derby. Part of the reason I wanted it this way is because I have played in a seasons that I know exactly which players are going to turn out how and so it makes it less fun because after playing 30 seasons I know that like for my Mariners that if I get Kyle Lewis and George Kirby and Noelle marte they're all going to turn out to be 99 players. And it's more of the unknown that I find appealing.

@hobowillie_NSW said in Playing MTO reminds me:

TSN folks, please choose an appropriate response from the below options:

A- See you tomorrow
B- Can I have your stuff?
C- Bye Felicia
D- Git Gud

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Tough choice. B is more of a Madden thing. D is way to bad of grammar for me. I really don't want to see him tomorrow and he seems a bit of a B, so I'll go with C.

It's assinine that I can't play the game during basically the only time I have during the week because Sony can't read the Xbox log file which clearly shows it was a server side update request that I did not initiate.

@tonythetiger2k16 said in Created Stadium in March to October:

When you are choosing the team you want to START playing a NEW "MTO" in a new save file. Go to customize Team option before accepting that team & going on to next screen. Doing this will open a screen where you set the Team Name, City, Colors, Logo, etc. It also lets you choose which stadium you want to be your home park.

Ya I did all this and it still just picks some random stadium I've never seen before. Absolute trash this game is

I’m on dynamic in the MtO. On 3rd season. Can I lower or change the difficulty setting? I tried the square button at the MtO and that didn’t work. Ty

@scorpiosymbol_psn said in Problems with Shohei Ohtani?:

So I recently traded for Ohtani and have him as my rotation ace and also batting 3rd as my RF in every lineup... But for some reason every game I play he's batting 9th and DH..
Is this a bug? Known issue?

He's your cover athlete and the marketing brags about getting to play him as a 2 way player, but it doesn't seem to work?

Because the Ohtani rule was not passed until after the game was already coming out it's not in this year's game. If you have Ohtani as your Starting pitcher he will automatically be your DH in MTO. Whoever is your assigned DH will only be the DH when Ohtani is pitching. This has been addressed several times.

@mynogan_psn said in Unsual behavior:

Now I got a 3 strikes warning. I don't think I have done anything wrong. Are we supposed to complete the MTO in one play session. I don't have time to do that. I would normally exit the mode properly. With no bonus XP, I have l Iost all incentive to continue playing MTO.
.

This post was from months ago!!!

Yeah. I got back to playing MTO again. Started a new season. Got to end of first half. 0 XP again. Why? Peculiar and potentially exploitative behavior! What did I did wrong? Tell me. Don't just give me 3 strikes. As far as I know, I did nothing wrong.

Designates it as that team’s home ballpark.

@baseball101135_psn said in Please help:

I accuse lowered the level and is so easy. How do I raise the level of play or reset it to start over ? Thank you

Once it's changed you can't raise it back up. Sorry, but you'll need to restart. I've done it myself.

Doesn't make much sense that they bothered to spend time updating the mode only to have horrible rosters and poor roster management capabilities.
Unfortunately, I doubt they bother updating rosters, so it is what it is. I'm at the end of my 3rd MTO and forcing myself to play a complete game to avoid elimination (purposely losing so I don't have to endure playing every [censored] game of the playoffs). I'm probably done with the mode after this one.

@wayman1_psn said in No Program XP:

@mathman5072_mlbts said in No Program XP:

Did you quit out of games, dashboard, or get disconnected? You don’t get xp if the game thinks you’re quitting games you might lose.

If not this, you can try putting in a ticket. But, my guess is it won’t go through.

No nothing like that and i put a ticket in, nothing…

Yeah, putting in a ticket is a complete waste of time

It's supposed to start the season the way it started irl. The attributes for player is already way off. Marcus Semien and Robbie ray are way higher than they should be right now, and players like Taylor Ward and Nestor Cortes are lower.

@kelloggs19_psn said in Really disappointed:

And definitely give us option of who we pick for playoff roster. I played with the Yankees. I had speed in Tim Locastro during the season, they got rid of him and called up Jaason Dominguez, a 3rd C, and Peralta from Triple A. I would rather have had Locastro who had better stealing aggression than Dominguez. And no need for a 3rd C. Some moves don’t make sense.

I had this happen to me as well with the Orioles, and it nearly cost me. Rather than taking the utility infielder who was the only guy on my team who could reliably steal a base (Jorge Mateo), they left him off and took a third catcher that I never needed/used. I was pissed.

SD sucks. Can't handle the most basic functions lol
