Okay so each year I like to play real franchises but can never figure out if I want to keep the players real or make trades. I sometimes make house rules and try not to cheese the CPU for good deals.

I always play 2 franchises but never three. So far I am playing:

Angels (9-8)
Reds (8-7)
Pirates (8-8)

I have this weird obsession with Fraley and TJ Freidl so I got Fraley to the Pirates (he fits, and got rid of Suwinski in the process)

Angels

• Friedl to the Angles to platoon with Adell
• Got Jose Leclerc (feel guilty because it broke my rule; cant trade for a guy that JUST went to a new team, A's)
• Also picked up Santiago Espinal (another Reds player) he compliments the Angels well.

Pirates

• Fraley platoons in RF with Pham
• Got Jorge Polanco for SS, sent out Isiah Kiner-Falefa ( Ive never vibed with him, odd because I have some Hawaiaan in me lol.
• Got Spencer Steer from Reds to platoon at 1B with Spencer Horwitz
• Finally, to make things fair, gave someone a deal and shipped out Joey Bart for an old Pirate Stallings)

Reds

• As you may have guessed I play the Reds striaght up because I really like about 6 or 7 guiys on their team.

Im just gonna brain dump this:

• Sometimes I dont like doing too many trades. Ive always wondered if I should play one team with trades and another straight up? Or maybe only trade for a good relief pitcher and thats it?

• The Angles are a lock, I want to play them. Big Adell fan too. Sharing time in CF sounds like it could be an issue. Maybe when Trout gets injured it will be easier. I moved his durability to 70 so he needs off days lol.

• The Pirates organization is a dumpster fire, not sure I want to be a part of that. Maybe I should give Kiner-Falefa another chance? I like Hayes and Triolo too! With this option I have some good platoons and get Skenes!

• The Reds sound like an easy choice because then it would solve multiple issues. I get to play all the Reds players I like, polay them striaght up, and play the Angels. But dont laugh, playing two "red" teams?

Any help is appreciated!!!!

I've seen a lot of comments about the interface, and here is another one.
I've shown SEVEN people, including my two sons, my wife, and a couple of friends, and EVERY single one of them is dumbfounded at this interface. Now, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There is bright flashing in certain modes, too.

I agree, and I have one reason why they wont do it..

The ripped sheet of paper at the top of most menus...
If they revert and offer a black or dark menu the sheet rip at the top makes no sense (black paper).

I am absolutely shocked in this day and age with OLED monitors and HDR that this made it through. Not to mention that awful handwriting font. There was the menu when you look at your team by position and it has the rankings written in that cursive...Borderline unreadable..

I am thinking of getting MLB the Show 24, but I play in a dark room because of migraines, and from what I have seen, the bright menus are a bit jarring. I could turn the brightness down, but doing this each time I go back into the menus seems like a pain.

I did see a lot of Twitter posts about this.

Is this going to be addressed? Maybe a menu option for a "classic" or "dark mode"?

Thanks!

Yes, I actually wont buy it if the UI white screens stay the way they are. I play in a darker rooms and suffer from headaches. I just don't get it why there is no dark UI option.
