Need Better Lineup Management
-
Ridiculous that I have 57 and 67 overall pitchers in my bullpen along with two open pitching slots. Yet have two pitchers sitting in AAA that are 74 and 72 overall. From what I’ve gathered reading other posts, team management in this mode is supposed to be “story driven” meaning that they give you opportunities/moments throughout the season to make trades and call up certain players. (Supposedly as I still haven’t seen any of these myself)
So far this is frustrating beyond belief and in my opinion is seriously harming this game mode. I see many teams with star caliber players stuck in the minors with no way to call them up. This puts you at a disadvantage for no reason and leaves you with little to no control of your roster. At the very least a short fix could be to just update the rosters/give the option to download different ones.
I get SDS wants to make MTO a completely different mode than franchise but having just a little more control over your roster would be huge and go a long way in taking this game mode from mediocre to really fun/great in my opinion! -

Then you must still be in the first month of the season. Wait a few more games. They're not always great opportunities, but they do come.
The pitchers are not in the rotation because they started the season on the IL irl.

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. -
