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.

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.

@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

@dingazoid_xbl said in Not understanding why to trade/call up in this mode:

Ah, I was under the impression March to October was a single season mode. Not sure where I got that idea. So I should promote people in the hope they will be better than my current starters in subsequent seasons? I still don't fully know how to get a good picture of what my team is good at/lacking but I'll keep those things in mind!

This is the first year it can be multiple seasons. It's up to you, I always promote of fast track because it will immediately improve their ovr by 2-6 points and improve potential if fast tracked. If you can't use them, they will become tradeable. I use trades for position players and free agency for pitchers. Call ups and fast tracks, I use for either. If you play enough you'll start to develop your style.

Interesting.

I like it every now and then

@needmoresleep_mlbts said in Full Minors Control:

I really think this is the art of this years MTO. I did Arizona a little while back and was able to trade for Joe Adell from the Angels for 3 insignificant players. Adell was put straight to the minors. I tried several ways to get him called up or fast tracked and nothing worked. Putting RFs on the block, saying I needed RFs and LFs. (Had Jasson Dominguez in CF.) Nothing worked until I took RFs off the needed positions. Next time up, Adell was there for fast track. It's all a [censored] shoot. I think the worst thing to do is nothing. MTO and RTTS is still more fun than DD this year.

That is not a [censored] shoot, bro. You had RF as a position of need on your TRADE BLOCK. SO if you are looking to trade for a RF, they are going to look for trades for that position, not call ups. As the previous bro posted, you have to make an available roster spot for that guy, and have no roadblocks to him.

Although I disagree, you make some good points. I didn't want to write a 3 page essay. I didn't have a single RF on my active team. Trades only proposed CF/RF or 35 year olds in the last year of their contracts for 3 decent prospects. I wanted Joe Adell for my RF. "A" potential and 6 years of playing time. In the 6th year he would be a high 80s low 90s that I could trade for another "A" prospect.

MTO and RTTS are my favorite parts of this game. Call ups and Fast tracks seem to be heavily influenced by your trade management input. You can get through an entire season in one day if that's all you do all day. I've had a lot of off time and played mostly MTO from Jan, when MLBTS21 stopped adding content, up to today. Patterns come up and are easy to discern after a while. 22 is very different in some respects from 21, but that pattern hasn't changed.

It is very much like rolling the dice. All you can try to do is try to lessen the number of sides. If you ask for a CF on trade management, you will often get RF/LF offered to you as a Trade, Call up, or Fast track. That's because they are more likely to have CF as their secondary position. For short term, that's fine. That was great for last year. I want to play MTO through several seasons, so I look at who will be at what position next year or the year after and so on. I want a RF at RF, just like I don't want a catcher at 1st, even though it offers a good catcher that can play 1st. I'd prefer to play with monopoly dice instead of Dungeons and Dragons.
