I figured getting a few of the upper prospects on each team would be better than having none of them. Though for the Phillies I can't complain. Every position that is a problem has a prospect in direct line, except one, but that's an easy fix. So it all works out, at least for the moment. I definitely won't be playing 162 games, by the end of the season it may only end up being somewhere between 45 - 55 games out of 162. I'm not one hundred percent sure yet I'm still tinkering around the settings trying to find what works. I know in MLB 14 they had a quick counts setting which simulated a few of the pitches which made it slightly more challenging and enjoyable. If it was carried over I will probably start with that, but I'll be tinkering everything as I go.

Oh god make it stop. I'm surrounded by Phillies and Braves fans. LGM

We're in transition from what was the best period in the franchise's history and as a lifelong fan of the club its kind of bittersweet to see it finally being dismantled. But, as they say; onward and upward! Question: looking at the prospects, is it safe to assume you're using the stock rosters with some edits, or are you waiting for OSFM? Also, do you plan in playing out every game every pitch or no? Other than that, good luck, I'll be following!

Game Analysis: There were a few questionable choices made by the computer in this game. I believe that pulling Lee after six innings for a PH was a mistake as Lee could have gone another inning or to at least. Our relief pitching is staying on par of expectations in the ERA area. Improved hitting in the game, but we couldn't fully capitalize on our base runners.

Game Analysis: Good and exciting game despite losing in the 17th inning. Got a solid six innings of relief pitching out of Pettibone which was great for a relief squad who has messed up a lot so far. Hitting improved in this game for the most part. Now we just need to get some wins to keep moving forward.

Game Analysis: I'm not angry because I lost the game, I'm angry because my entire settings and sliders system somehow altered itself and destroyed my settings and sliders which I had been playing on previously. The fielding and hitting were absolutely horrible in this game, while the pitching was able to recover. I don't know what happened to my settings but I'm not to happy about what and how it happened.

Series Analysis: Lost all three games in this series which I'm not to upset about. I wasn't expecting the playoffs this year as it was. The trade picture for the Phillies is becoming more and more clear the more games we play. May be looking to make a trade in late April or early May. I'm going to let my block players play a little longer before acquiring other assets for them.
