I haven't ever played it but plan to try it out so I can get the platinum.

WTH is platinum

The platinum trophy.

Just started one with the Blue Jays and they have Robbie Ray and Jonathan Villar, but don't have the guys who got hurt since the season started (Bichette, Hernandez, Giles, etc.)

The updates don't work in MTO mode either !

Another real problem with the game is that it's too scripted. There are games I pitch great and get hit hard because the game script has me losing. There are other time I can't lose if I tried. I'll hit what's usually a pop up and and it's a HR.

What's wrong with playing game where you get what you deserve? Same stuff happens in Showdown too but not as much as this scripted [censored]. I'm not a fan of this mode, I've only done it to get the TA guys.

Thanks guys !!!

I'm currently doing a Dodgers M2O to get another Hershiser to sell off since I'm a little low on Stubs after buying FS Luis Robert and SS Chris Sale off the market (Thank god for my investments paying off!)

At the beginning of this run, I felt a little overwhelmed by how good their roster is to begin with but once I got familiar with their players, I realized there are still quite a few areas where I could upgrade; mainly at catcher and the bullpen but I also felt it necessary to get another power bat in the infield and with Turner and Muncy's flexibility, it allowed me to think a bit outside the box.

I ended up acquiring these players before the Trade Deadline:

Josh Hader (They badly needed a good lefty out of the pen. I was pleasantly surprised when I was offered him so early in my run.)

Freddie Freeman (He has been excellent playing 1B with Muncy moving to 2B.)

Drew Pomeranz (I wanted to get a left-handed long-reliever and Pomeranz was a great choice.)

Brandon Woodruff (I wanted a better SP3 as I wasn't liking how David Price felt and Julio Urias was struggling)

J.T. Realmuto (I pulled this off on the last day before the deadline. We sent David Price and two B-grade prospects.)

Heading into the playoffs as the #1 seed in the National League, our playoff roster is:

STARTING ROTATION
SP1 - Walker Buehler
SP2 - Clayton Kershaw
SP3 - Brandon Woodruff
SP4 - Julio Urias
SP5 - Alex Wood (He'll be used in long-relief)

BULLPEN
LR - Ross Stripling
MID - Dylan Floro
MID - Pedro Baez
MID - Drew Pomeranz
SU - Blake Treinen
SU - Josh Hader
CL - Kenley Jansen

If anything, they need to have the playoffs be the same as the Regular season.

I know exactly what you’re talking about, I stopped doing MTO’s for a little while and got used to “perfect” umpiring. I started one up last night and it was exactly how you said, I had a batter first pitch was completely off the plate inside called a strike, then the count got to 2-2 and I took a pitch and it was a fastball completely inside the strike zone called a ball. Completely forgot how bad the umpiring could be in the game, but the umpiring is also horrible at times in the real game.

Real mlb talk if the season goes on, is anybody better set up for it then the reds? They could be beasts this year.

You can try emailing sds, but, based on what I heard earlier in the year, you won’t get anything. The good news is that you at least got the affinity for everything through the ds.

This happened to me 4 times last night after patch 1.15

@BodamEscapePlan said in Chris Sale:

Is that right, @TotesMuhGotes? What team were you playing as when you traded for him? He's someone I've wanted to acquire in a few of my M2O's (especially with my White Sox) but I was worried about this being a problem.

In my most recent Indians M2O, I managed to execute a trade for Andrew Miller, who was also in Triple-A prior to acquiring him from the Cardinals. You would think as long as the overall comes in above your other options at the position, they would automatically be put on your Major League roster -- especially considering we're playing what is essentially a one-year game mode. I know you can continue on from the end of the season to turn it into a multi-year Franchise but a lot of us aren't going to be doing that.

I was playing as the Astros. The trade was Josh James and a couple of B prospects for Sale. So my trade included my number five starter. After the trade, the CPU moved Austin Pruitt from the pen to my number five spot and called up a third catcher who was a 72 OVR to fill the 26 man roster.

I just looked and Sale is indeed not on the 40-Man. I'd assume because he is on the 60 day IL in real life they chose to remove him from the 40-Man roster in game. I wished I would have looked at that before the trade!

I completely understand this for the sake of realism, as more often than not, it would bother me in regular Franchise but I don't like it for M2O as nobody is playing M2O for realism (considering we can't have all real minor-leaguers)

It would be nice if they let you load a roster in to MTO , but I could see where people would abuse the custom rosters for easy affinity points but the option to at least load up a injury free roster would probably be best.

And I would even be ok with them doing call ups similarly to trades where you get a handful of opportunities a year and give you the option to choose 1 of 3-4 guys to call up.
