PLEASE UPDATE ROSTERS!
-
being a person who enjoys offline gaming, i am very frustrated that i cannot use updated rosters in march to october. If A player is a 90 overall on the live roster, why do i have to use him at a 75 overall for the duration of my season? It is also frustrating that i do not have the roster control to call up players that are injured in real life. For example, Aaron Judge is injured currently in real life. If i have injures off on MLB the Show 23, Why am I not able to use Aaron Judge in my March to October?

MTO is supposed to you taking a team from the beginning of the season to the end. For that that reason, MTO is never updated. If Aaron Judge was injured on opening day then he will start as being in the minors. It's been that way for years. Take the Phillies, Harper, Hopkins, and Nola were injured on opening day, so they will have to be brought up when you have that option. You'll never see Tatis, Story is in AAA, and Corbin Carroll will be sorely underrated. On the other side, Eduardo Escobar will be a Met, Alek Manoah will be in the bigs, and Trea Turner will be highly rated.

That is and always has been a lame and lazy excuse.
Fact of the matter is, they should at least be updating ratings for the mode once a month. I finished up a Mariners M20 the other night and not having Jarred Kelenic, Bryce Miller, or Jose Caballero be viable options takes so much excitement out of the mode. Every year we see breakout stars emerge and there is no good reason for them to not update it for at least the first 2-3 months.
I mean, I started a Dbacks M2O the other night and Corbin Carroll is 4th in WAR through July and yet he's still just a 76 overall (I even got the three +++ boosts in his player locked game) and isn't going to come anywhere close to his real overall until 2025 (if the depth chart is to be taken seriously).
I guarantee you more people would enjoy the mode if the teams were more accurately resembled throughout the game's life-cycle.

No it isn’t. It starts you in March with the March roster not March with the July roster. That would be ridiculous.

I get that you get progression in TA for it but if you are solely playing MTO to play MTO, then why not just play Franchise and set it up like MTO... there are so many different options available to streamline Franchise to be more in line with the MTO experience.

MTO uses the same roster files as Franchise. If they were to update the roster, it would cancel out trades and any changes to cards players have made.

You do realize it is called March to October and it's a double meaning. As stated earlier, you start in March and play until October (November if you can't win the WS in 4.)
This mode doesn't start in July and your breakout stars are usually the players that are fast tracked, called up, or spotlighted. I played MTO with the Angels and fast tracked Livan Soto as SS and 80 by the end of the season. I've played and and have had several others breakout. Next time it might be Zach Neto or Logan O'Hoppe, like real life, but not this time.
It's you playing the season from the beginning, not Servais and Dipoto. In March, Corbin Carrol was good, but hadn't broken out yet. Neither had Elly, Senga, or Kelenic. Kelenic was sent back down for poor play then finally started hitting his stride this year when he was expected to breakout instead of JRod last year.
My only big problem with MTO, and this might fix your problem, is the lack of choices in fast tracking and callups. Why would I want to fast track a pitcher in the high 50s, when I need a second baseman and a pitching staff that starts in the low to mid 70s.

You guys have clearly been brainwashed by the marketing department. (I'm kidding... sort of)
"You start in March and it's a double meaning!" Sure, I guess? Would you really argue against it though if they did actually update the ratings? Personally, I thought the whole thing was just a very obvious and not at all subtle way to make the laziest Franchise mode imaginable and then they decided on the name to ensure that they wouldn't actually have to do any maintenance or updates throughout the year.
... and for the record, I do enjoy the mode but there are so many things that irk me about it; this being one of them. And they do update the actual roster once or twice after release so it's clearly something that can be done. I can understand not updating after the Trade Deadline because that would make a lot less teams less fun and desirable to start one up with but I do wish that we at least had the option to choose for ourselves. Even if it disables Team Affinity progress then whatever... at least they'd be satisfying both sides of the argument here.

Brainwashed? I put in the way the mode can be to positively changed earlier in the post you quote. But I guess not selectively quoting would diminish your argument. It's not perfect, but it seems like you want it to be as of July when Elly could justifiably be what he wasn't in April. I'm not sure what update you're referring to, I try to play with all teams and will play some twice. I haven't noticed a change and my team is one that would change drastically. I've been wrong before and I'll admit it if I am, so, please let us know what roster changes were made.
You accuse them of laziness with a mode they can take out of the game altogether without a care or the slightest whimper from the majority of DD players. But they're lazy about a mode that's fairly heavily updated every year. Every team has to be analyzed for where they will be at the start. Arizona, SF, Reds, and Baltimore would go from a bottom tier club to the top. The Angels, Mets, Yankees, and Padres would go the other way. What you're asking them to do is reanalyze these teams to put them back in March what they are now, but do it every so often even though it doesn't comport to any of the work done at the beginning of the year. It's not just rosters, it's videos, it's the way the teams are divided into tiers. It's beyond me what it all takes to make a purchasable game different, year after year, without changing too much, to drive away the perennial buyers like me. It's more work than making Elly a 90 instead of a 69.
They're about as subtle as young boy looking at a pair of breasts for the first time. "March to October," "Road to the Show," "Live Series." There's one for you. "Live Series." If I didn't know better, I'd think those are cards that are meant to change throughout the season...there you go. You want updates? I bet, if you ask them nicely, you can get them to update those cards every three weeks or so based on their performance through the season.
It sounds to me like you're too lazy to put in the work to make your team viable. You want what you want and you want it now. The same petulant child that plays with cheats and exploits online. The same petulant child that makes post after post of how "this game is garbage," without actually putting in a useful alternative or expressing what is the actual issue. If you want to make the team you want, exactly as you want it, you can. It's called franchise. If you want to do moments like MTO, sim to draft day or end of season and it will give the option for that. It's already there. It also sounds to me like you're too lazy to look at different alternatives.
"...I do wish that we at least had the option to choose for ourselves." You do have the option. That's what Call-ups, spotlights, and Fast-tracks are for. So, start with the team that started the season and work them into a contender like it was meant. Kind of how they were in March and play them until October...but, sure, I guess?

I've read your other posts and, for the most part, I think we agree on most things. This is one thing I'm so tired of hearing because, I like the mode as it is.
I do apologize for the sarcasm and snarkiness of my previous post. I'm not changing it, because it's how I feel about it. I don't play for TA even though I'll choose my team depending on TA need. It's fun and challenging. Changing stats changes the challenge of it. If that's what you want to do, do it in franchise.
This is the mode I play after new years and in between programs. So I would have to say yes, I would disagree with changing the preseason stats. I like building prospects into MLB players. Making the A's into contenders is fun, but so is doing it with the Yankees, and I hate the Yankees. Changing stats to satisfy someone's need to have their favorite player change with the whims of the day is nonsensical to me. I want to make Corbin Carroll the premier outfielder in the NL. That's what we do in MTO. Changing those stats would do a disservice to what He and others have done this season. Prospect to pro. That's what MTO is. It's not live series. I don't want it to be.
