I'm starting again with a fictional franchise using my roster (Bacon's Fictional Roster) on MLB The Show 20. I'll be running what I'm going to call a "forever franchise" which simply means I'm going to play it as much and as long as I can with the intention of going forever. I'll be usering the Milwaukee Brewers for this franchise and will make following posts about the status of that team entering the first season.
30 Team User Control but I won't adjust much when it comes to other teams' lineups, MLB rosters or trades. I'll mostly just adjust primary positions for some players here and there when it makes sense to do so.
Difficulty: HOF with slider adjustments
I won't say all but between "some" and "a lot" of the games will be broadcasted on my Twitch channel - https://www.twitch.tv/therealbacon96
Games: Play all 162, no quick counts, games will only be simulated if the app crashes midway through
I may play some Spring Training or MiLB games as well when I feel like it
I do plan on streaming MiLB All Star games, the Home Run Derbies, Future's Games and every playoff game including MiLB
Trades/FA: I'll do whatever the game allows, there are a few BOSS free agents in this roster and I won't sign any of them (Odysseus Davis/Prince Diamond)
Draft: I'm going to simulate the draft and have nothing to do with amateur scouting.
Created Teams: none, I'm leaving the league as is
Roster: New BFR roster that I have been slowly reworking
I will also be editing appearances of all draft picks but not their abilities
No sponsorships
I'll also be making a ton of potential adjustments to help with progression/regression. They are as follows:
Any player selected to an All Star Game will get either +2 or +5 - players who are 25 or older will get +2 and 24 or younger receieve +5. The only game this won't apply to is the Future's Game where any player with C potential will get a raise of +5 and everyone else remains unchanged.
To follow, there are stat benchmarks that I'll try to keep track of in the minor leagues. These benchmarks will be a .300 average, a 25+ HR season, 25+ SB season and 150 Ks in a season for a pitcher and these will each result in a +2 potential boost no matter the level, player or if they were previously boosted for being an All Star. Additionally, I'll spin a wheel so every waiver claim and Rule 5 draft pick has an opportunity to gain +5 when they are claimed. This gives some players the chance to make an actual impact on their new team. I'm planning on doing this by spinning a wheel where their chances of gain are 1 in 8. And finally, all award winners will receive a +5 potential boost.
Any other questions, just ask in here and I will provide an answer.
