They have Michael Conforto and Trevor Rosenthal in the Free Agent pool but don't have Robinson Cano, Ken Giles, etc. on their actual teams. I guess they spent all their time creating one player to add (Suzuki).

It would be a long term development say in 2023 game release. You'd create them the same way you create stadiums. I was just curious and thought it would be cool.

Would you use an Equipment Vault?
If the The Show introduced an Equipment Vault similar to the Stadium Vault, would you use it? Create and share your own designs for shoes, batting gloves, gloves, sunglasses, etc.? Then we all wouldn't have to worry about what equipment (or lack thereof) that The Show will introduce. Just a thought and wanted to see what the feedback was.

The Show should introduce an Equipment Vault similar to how they did the Stadium Vault.

Mariners missing Ken Giles as well.

They could have provided a playoff setting format in franchise (etc) play to allow the user to select the type of playoff format they wanted to choose.
I.E. 4,6,8,12, etc. This option would allow for year over year rule changes for those on any of the platform release years.

I hope the new playoff format comes in a sooner than later update.

Totally agree in that the AI logic for computer pitcher replacements is off.

If you're looking for a very long term franchise and something that is more realistic with the MLB experience...try managing all teams. Lineups, MLB IL Only, manual trades for all teams (then you make the trades that MLB makes and when based on the date - make sure you turn off budget cap before starting the season). I also manage all Free Agents filling the holes and offers based on realistic possibilities. You may want to allow the computer to run contracts as it gets quite confusing and a major time commitment for arbitration and renewals, but if you have the time and interest manage those as well. Lastly, by controlling every team gives you the flexibility to change who you play with throughout the season to keep in fun and interesting. I personally will select 4-6 teams that I want to play with and changes those every 2 weeks. I also play three innings with one team and switch controller in game to the other team and then back every three innings. It's quite fun if you have the time. As well, my personal choice is to turn injuries to manual and follow along with MLB injuries and timelines. Gives a more realistic element to it as well as controlling the injury sliders is one extreme to the other and not very realisitc.

Lastly, I only play the games on M,W,F,Su and sim games on Tues, Thurs, Sat. It keeps the pace of a season moving along to allow for more games to play and provides a different element.

Hope this helps. Enjoy
