How long does it take you guys to complete MTO?

I did a 2 full seasons (both World Series wins) in 2 days. One on Sunday, one on Monday. Not sure of an exact time but i started at 10am and i was done by 6-7pm. Id play a stretch of games, go do stuff around the house, eat lunch, do a few miles on the exercise back etc and go back.

Id say in one sitting, it would probably take about 5 hours or so.

What other modes did they remove that people played a lot of? March to October was played a lot last year according to their numbers and if the game was working properly it'll be played this year too. If you want full control, play franchise. You say you have full knowledge of the mode yet play it and then complain about things when you know how they work? That makes no sense.

If you don't like the mode, that's fine but they built the mode a specific way they wanted it to play so don't say it's a slapped together mode because you think there should be different things in it.

Of course it's a way for SDS to get people to play dd, that's their bread and butter and where they make money, why wouldn't thwy tie it in there but you don't have to play dd to use it. I don't mind the mode, it's lacking some ability to control yes but it's not a bad mode in my opinion.

Had the same thing, in the ALCS. Edit - I restarted my console and seem to be back in business. Give that a try.

It was a good alternative last year. Showdowns, especially the first set, where brutal. So people could use this mode to still get TA points and not stress about it. Oh yea and at the beginning of the year they had a 2X bug on TA points that you'd get playing this mode. I miss that bug

I got the same “can’t authenticate” message on Friday after I got booted out of a showdown win because of server issues (which is a whole other issue of itself...). I was up 2-0 in the ALDS. I just got back on my MTO last night and didn’t have the message, so I played game 3 and won. Before clicking to advance to the ALCS the “can’t authenticate” came back. So pretty sure I just wasted my time. I’m guessing I won’t get any affinity points for the postseason so there isn’t any point in finishing it out.

If you do an MTO on Veteran then one run will net you up to 62 TA points. You can finish it in three sittings. About 6 hours total as the previous poster said. If you sweep your way through the playoffs maybe a little quicker. I also advise do not trade for an SP or call up an SP because you'll have a player lock even to pitch a whole game with that player.

I took the Rangers all the way to the playoffs and get the same message, complete waste of time

Message just showed up on my screen too as I made it to the playoffs. Straight up pissed

@mr7brown_xbl said in March to October player lock no-hitter:

It wasn't a player lock no-hitter but with my Astros MTO run the first game of the season was a no-no from Greinke.

No hitter on opening day? Sweet!

Same here, Eddie. Everything seems the same as last year as far as the postseason is concerned in MTO.

Technically Ozuna is a gold glove outfielder since he won a gold glove in 2017.

The ability to play more than one season with a team. I actually love the mode, but I want to be able to continue building my team and not play a full season in franchise after that.

Yep, in the March 2 October/Franchise Showcase they showed a clip of being able to choose between calling up 3 or 4 players and then giving you the freedom to choose who to send down and it didn't look like it was limited to just one position, so that's nice, too.
