@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.

@tonythetiger2k16 said in Momentum Dont even matter in post season !!!!:

I see why momentum matters during the season & why every game mission needs to be accomplished to ensure those simulated wins. However once you reach the playoff's, you will play every single game back to back ranging from 6th inning onwards. So why do they still give you momentum earned at the end of the game if it means nothing at all because you will have to play the next game no matter what. THIS REALLY MAKES NO FREAKEN SENSE !!!!! LMAO

During a 162 game season, winning or losing 2 or 3 games in a row won't kill your whole season. However, some playoff rounds are best of 5, and winning the whole round just because you won the first game is too much of an advantage, or disadvantage if you happened to lose the first game. I agree with Dolenz. The momentum is subtle, like starting out with a man or men on base, or being up by only a run.

If we can start RTTS with an altered roster that was saved with who is on the active roster & as well the 40 man roster. Then we should be able to do the same with MTO. I agree with your post. Makes no sense to me that the roster will always be on default upon starting MTO & the PC sets the active roster for you. Then when they do ask if you like to bring someone up from AAA to MLB, it's ALWAYS the 1 to 3 that they want you to choose from & is never the player we actually do want to bring up. Playing MTO with the Mets in 2nd season, Dom Smith was placed in AAA & I couldn't bring him up to MLB because the PC never gave me him as 1 of the players to chose from to bring up. It was so disappointing!!!!!!!!

@rabid55wolverine said in Can someone please explain how this works "gated xp":

You dont get xp after season 1. Pretty sure thwy stated that in their stream, im almost sure I heard it.

I'm still getting it. the only time I don't is the game exp when I'm disconnected from the internet .

I haven't done it this year, but last year if you reset too much it wouldn't give you affinity points. Could be that...

I keep having it give me 3rd basemen, but not the one with the A potential. I have now fast tracked 4 in two and a half seasons . In addition, when I trade for a prospect it immediately puts it the minors. Traded for 68ovr Joe Adell during first season. He's a 75 and still in the minors. But I have now fast tracked 2 low 60 right fielders. Very poor logic.

You can. But the off season in MTO is so half [censored] put together. And you don't get the XP rewards at all star break and whatrnot. So frankly, its just a waste of time. SDS put it in there so they could say they did what the fans ask. But the lack of team control and no rewards, makes it completely pointless to play beyond year one.

Boy do I feel like a idiot. Thank you

@luvmyxbox_xbl said in MTO Roster?:

What roster does MTO use this year? Is it the default roster or the updated weekly roster? I'd like to start MTO but I want to use the most up to date rosters once they're released by SDS.

Also, did they fix it where you can upload any rosters or pick rosters?

The roster stays fixed. I think the idea is that you are starting with the team that actually started the season. If I remember correctly, they might update it one more time in a week or so to get players that maybe hasn’t been in the game yet. But, I’m not 100 percent on that.

The same thing just happened with the Player Boost. Got three green “plus” rewards post-game but when it went to apply it on the next screen, there were only two rewarded.

Nope hadn’t. They should start new forum tags then because they changed my app to 22 and gave me this.

It’s really bad in Mini seasons and Conquest! You’ll have a pitcher throw to one batter and be absolutely tired about to hit red or out of energy! Goes for starters or relievers. I know they are trying to adjust the computer keeping in pitchers for whole game but think they over adjusted. A pitcher should come in with green unless he was used, then go into yellow and red, depending upon batter, amount of pitches, etc. Hope they tweak it.

@MathMan5072_PSN
Hadn’t thought about that. Thank ya and yeah I know I can’t go back up but at the rates I’m swinging I won’t make it out the ALCS. I hit well usually but my pitching is not great on all star so now that I can’t hit I’m suffering
