Collin: You say you read everything... please read and advise. There is a major issue with Custom Leagues that needs to be addressed. The community needs an answer. Please respond.

When you advance your custom league to the playoffs, if you have users on both old gen consoles and next gen consoles, the league glitches and locks everybody out. Once this happens, you cannot enter the league. So not only can you not actually play the playoffs - WHICH IS A MAJOR ISSUE IN AND OF ITSELF SINCE ITS A MASSIVE WASTE OF OUR TIME - but you cannot even enter the league to leave it so you are stuck in a frozen league that is now occupying 1 of your 3 custom league spots.

Can you please address this issue? Is it on your radar? Are you working on it?? Do you have a fix coming??? Has it already been fixed???? Can SDS even act like they care about something other than DD?????

This is a massive flaw that ruins the entire game mode and we need to know if this has been fixed or is in the process of being fixed. We can't risk advancing to playoffs if there is still the chance of this happening.

How do you guys communicate? I’d be interested in joining.

We have a Discord. We also use the site for certain functions as well but the Discord is where most of the daily communications take place including looking for a game.

Yessir! Just sent you the link to the Discord on the Forum. If you log in again, you'll see the Chat function in the bottom right corner. Link should be waiting for you. Msg me if you have any issues bro.

@sizzle1718_mlbts said in 2nd MLB League Starting Up:

Bro Only 16 teams? And Lg is full? Like why did I sign up on website for?

Main league is full, that's why we've opened sign ups for Season 2. You signed up on the website to join the community and sign up for Season 2. We got you. Lol

@sizzle1718_mlbts said in 2nd MLB League Starting Up:

Where is the invite? And what’s the Discord???

I just sent you the discord link via DM.

Can I join?

yeah man definitely. ScoreboardGaming(dot)net/forum is where you can find us. You'll see the MLB The Show: AAA section. Within that, you'll see the Sign Up section and then the sign up sheet. Just drop your GT/PSN ID and the console you play on and we'll get you in.

We have opened signups for our second sim gaming league at Scoreboard Gaming. Our main league (The Majors), is running strong and we've had a lot of interest from people wanting to join our main league so we've decided to start up a second league.

This is a simulation gaming league so we have rules in place to make sure the game is as realistic as possible. We want people who stay active and who enjoy playing realistic baseball and don't take the game too serious. These leagues consist of people at all skill levels. You're going to lose from time to time. Please, no quitters or poor sports. If you're just looking for a quick fix, or can't handle the swings of winning and losing, our leagues are not for you.

This second league (AAA) will be a flexible schedule so you can play when you are available. You must play a minimum of 5 games per week, though, or you run the risk of being booted. The solid players who remain active and committed and play the right way will be eligible for Season 2 of our main league. If this sounds like the right league for you, let me know and we can get you signed up and then send you the Discord.

40-Man Live Series Custom League:

16/20/30 Teams
Must play min. 4 games per week
8 Teams Make Playoffs

9 Inning Games
5-Man Rotation
All Star Pitching*
All Star Batting*
*Custom sliders to make it play closer to HOF

DH ON
Guess Pitch OFF
Quick Counts OFF
Balks ON
Ump Accuracy PERFECT
Ump Close Plays OFF

@xxoctobernyyxx_xbl said in Collin: Please Fix Stamina Issue In Custom Leagues:

Agreed. Also fix ohtani to hit in custom leagues

Man that one is so frustrating too lmaooo like he's the face of MLB right now and this game basically promotes being a 2-way player in RTTS but the actual 2-way player irl can't be a 2-way player in a Custom League? Insane

Cmon Collin. Just add a second Ohtani card to Custom League 40-man rosters that allows him to play RF and/or DH but then put in some code that says you can't have two Ohtani cards in the lineup at the same time. Honestly how difficult would that be? Smh

Collin: I know you read everything so please read and help.

In our Custom League, when the game freezes (which is happening a lot now) or disconnects in the 5th inning or earlier, or does so in a tie game, the game must be replayed. We then reset the game via Game Management so it can be replayed, however, the stamina does not reset.

We need the stamina replenished when we manually reset a game.

We have a strict 5-man Starting Rotation that has to be followed so stamina not resetting when your game glitches and freezes, or when connection drops, is causing so many unnecessary issues. I know this can be easily fixed. Just flip the switch that resets the stamina meter when a Custom League game is manually reset. The game resets the stamina when the game ends via Friendly Quit so I know this can be done.

Please reset the stamina when the league manually resets a game. Please. Collin. I beg.

yes, you can use custom uniforms in a custom Diamond Dynasty league, however, you cannot use them in a custom 40-man roster league.

Hi all. Our sim gaming community has rolled out sign-ups for Season 1. We are building a community of gamers who (1) enjoy a realistic gaming experience, called simulation (or sim) gaming, (2) remain active and don't just hop from league to league, and (3) are interested in being a part of something bigger and more structured than just those random, chaotic online leagues with extremely high turnover that seemingly never finish.

While we have opened sign-ups for both 40-Man Roster leagues and Diamond Dynasty leagues, if you have an existing league of gamers who fit the mold that might be interested in joining our community, we would love to host your league and grow both together.

40-Man Roster League, Season 1:

20 Team League
3-Game Series (vs. same opponent) Every 5 Days
8 Teams Make Playoffs
9 Inning Games
5-Man Rotation
DH ON

All Star Pitching
All Star Batting
PCI Preferred But Not Required (just impossible to enforce, unfortunately)
Guess Pitch OFF
Quick Counts OFF
Balks OFF
Ump Accuracy PERFECT
Ump Close Plays OFF

Again, this for active gamers who enjoy playing realistic baseball. Please DM if you are interested and I can send you the link. Quitters and poor sports need not apply.

We also have an app that you can use to access the Forum, if you prefer using apps; it also has a group chat function which is another way we communicate. Once you've joined, we can send you the invite code for that. Let me know if you have any questions.

For this first season we have Hitting & Pitching on All Star but we have some custom sliders to make it play a little closer to HOF. Here's the rest:

Guess Pitch OFF
Quick Counts OFF
Balks OFF
Ump Accuracy PERFECT
Ump Close Plays OFF
9 Innings
5-man rotations
Directional or PCI (mainly because it's impossible to enforce... most of us use/prefer PCI anyway)

The more we grow, the more we can separate out the ultra-competitive from the more casual gamers and offer different leagues with different settings for both types of players. Admittedly, it is early days, though, so we do ask some patience. We are trying to build a community for people who enjoy playing in leagues and enjoy sim gaming so that is our main focus. Hope this helps.

If anyone is interested in a sim gaming league with a bunch of active yet chill gamers, send me a message.

We've been running sim gaming leagues since 2010 but since we're mainly Xbox gamers, once MLB2K went away our baseball league went with it. But now that MLB is back on Xbox, we've started a new community for those looking for a sim gaming experience.

If you're interested and can commit to 3-4 games per week, we'd love to have you. We are rolling out signups for both a regular team league as well as a Diamond Dynasty league. Both Xbox and PSN gamers are welcome.

Poor sports and quitters need not apply.

Yeah we are absolutely playing head-to-head games ha. Sim just stands for simulation so sim gaming is really just a style of gaming that essentially tries to simulate real life. So we have certain rules in place to promote sim gaming (and restrict a more cheese style of gaming) like no excessive bunting, 5-man rotations, etc. The nice thing about baseball is there aren't too many ways you can cheese aside from excessive bunting. The game does a pretty decent job of limiting those kinds of things but we're always looking out for ways to promote sim gaming so we are welcome to suggestions. But that's basically what it means: simulating real life and not taking advantage of the little glitches and cheats in a video game. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, no. If you play in a Custom League via the game, there isn't any way to lock settings. Initially it was kind of a bummer but it's one thing we've tried to combat with sliders. We spent a ton of time using different sliders to see if there was a way to offset it. We think we have a pretty good set up to where there really isn't an advantage one way or the other. I personally use Zone (PCI) and prefer Analog to Button as well.

If you or anyone else are interested in a sim gaming league with a bunch of chill gamers, check us out at Scoreboard Gaming dot Net. We've been running sim gaming leagues since 2010 but since we're mainly Xbox users, once MLB2K went away we sort of disbanded. But now that MLB is back on Xbox, we've started up a brand new site just for the sim gaming community. If you are looking for a sim gaming experience, can commit to 3-4 games per week, we'd love to have you. We are rolling out signups for both a regular team league as well as a Diamond Dynasty league. Both Xbox and PSN gamers are welcome!

Poor sports and quitters need not apply. We're looking to have fun.
