Can anyone help or have any ideas to help get my pitcher back into the rotation? I’ve never had this happen to me before

I just want to try to fix this and get my pitcher back. I’m playing franchise mode and as soon as the season ended he was sent to the minors when during the season I was playing he was up the entire time. And started 32 games.

As I enter the post season the game has removed one of my best starters and for whatever reason has moved him to triple a. I’m unable to move him back up.

This is a strange question but if I moved the Durability of another pitcher down to zero how quick would he get hurt? Because that’s the only way it looks like I’m gonna get this starter back up.

Well it should be renegotiated to allow it. It’s like taking fighting out of the nhl games. The manager ejections and player ejections are part of baseball.

I’m a yankee fan, I’d like to hear the roll call like they do in the real life games. And I completely overhaul the team as well as all the others with the legends so it makes it more interesting as I play it during a franchise mode. When can we get a roll call with the Yankees with all the players in the show no matter who you put on the team? We already have the judges chambers. I’d like to hear Micky Mantle, Lou Gehrig and a bung of other greats names being chanted in the first and maybe second inning.

I know I’ve asked about this before but as far as realism, the show really needs to bring back the manager ejections and player ejections like they had in the past. And it may be a good idea to have it set up so that after it happens that the confidence of the pitcher goes up if it’s low. Whatever deal the mlb has made with the game should really be dumped. It will bring personality to the game. In fact I believe the old 2k games had a mechanic where the anger increased during ump and manager arguments that it made your team play better.

I love playing this game, but it needs personality to freshen it up

Well, agreements can change over time. You have to agree that it would add to the realism. Never isn’t always a forever thing. So maybe with some high demand it could come back. Currently as much as The Show now, it’s also a little bit bland. I play NHL and to be very honest, as a sports game The Show is the best I’ve seen. But again adding adding the ejections would add a whole lot of realism.

I remember in the older games that the managers were ejected and had cutscenes where it would show them in a heated argument with the umps. Same with players. Sometimes if there were calls where the runner was out they would get very aggravated and get tossed. Why was that taken out? It adds to the realism of the game and it still happens today all the time. And although it’s a different video game the 2k games had it where you could increase the anger of the manager to help the moral of the players. Maybe the show could add something like that to the franchise mode to help the moral of the players?

Without managers and players being ejected the game is just a little bit bland. It would freshen up the play and make it more lively to the casual player.

What do you guys think?

I mean I think I some sort of way if your team is down by 2 runs or 1, it would in some way re-energize the ball club you’re playing as and help with a win.

But it’s still part of the game. At least having it as some sort of animation would ad to realism. I think having that type of meter to help you win will be helpful if for instance a team is down. It will spark a clutch situation and make the game more interesting.

It still happens during the season where managers are arguing with the umps. Years ago 2K had a part of their game for a while when a manager would argue with an ump and there would be a meter to measure the amount of anger in the manager to help motivate the team in some way. I know it was a different video game but still it was interesting. Wouldn’t it be cool to see something like that again? If not that some sort of animation between the manager and umpire arguing? You’d have to admit that it adds to the realism.

Are we going to be able to use him as both a pitcher and hitter? Or he just going to play the field like last time? It’s fine either way but I’d like to be able to use him in the rotation as well as the batters lineup during the season. I was able to do that with Babe Ruth.
