Thanks (think that was me, anyway, ha!) I got the idea from others around here, but it really works well if you want to go multiple seasons on your franchise.

Personally, I don't do Y2Y saves as I love starting with a new team when the new game comes out. The 5/1 method allows me to do that.

Glad you like it!

It's great. I've never found a way to get through a season without simming long stretches. I'm going to try and adopt a similar method in other games.

I'm just taking it one game at a time. Plus I'm a control freak and simming any of the games takes the control away from me. lol.. No rush now with these awesome year to year saves!

Yeah I forgot about the year to year saves.. I skipped 14 so I'm fresh into the PS4 version now! Loving it! Are you just going to all the different minor league parks since there are only 2 spring training parks?

Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

How do you all like to go about Scouting and Training?

Are there any tips/tricks you could offer on what seems to work well for you? Or things that seem to hurt?

I've just been sticking with the one Spring Training park in Florida. I figured the more I play there the sicker of it I will get and the more motivation to keep chugging through Spring Training. I may play 2-3 minor league games a month and will check them out then.

All set up with the Yankees.

The team needs a lot of work.

Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

I have finally decided to roll with the Pirates.. Simmed through spring training and started making the cuts.. Took the worst 15 overall rated players and put them in A ball.. They aren't going to amount to the majors in my world. All rated like 45-51. Basically what I did was take the bottom 15 and put them in A ball. Then took the next 25 guys that are not on the 40-man and put them in AA ball (had 5 guys sneak into spring training by being on the 40 man). Everyone else that wasn't on the 40 man, went to AAA.. Once spring training was over, before starting regular season, I cut 15 players to AAA. it actually balanced out pretty well. I wanted to keep enough for my bullpen and bench since it's the NL and no DH. Actually pretty excited to get my franchise going and see how this pans out.. Also, looking forward to tallying up those Bucco Blasts on the right field HR counter!!

Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

Having a blast with the Padres. Upton wasn't cutting it so just dealt him to Colorado for Gonzalez and Morneau. Slight upgrade in LF and at 1B.

**DTX3** · 04-22-2015, 11:31 PM

Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

So I ended up trading prospects Zack Lee, Justin Chigbogu along with Uribe to the Astros for Chris Carter and moved him to 3B. Dude has homered 6 times in 11 games. I have him batting 8th vs right handed pitchers and 5th vs left handed pitchers. His defense sucks but I'll take that power any day.

Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

With Ryan and Pirela already on the DL for concussions, Gregorious breaks his arm on a play at end.

Called up Refsynder to play 2nd and moving Drew over to SS. Petit is the backup.

Had an alright month. 15-12, still in 1st place and increased the lead over 2nd place (Chicago) to 3 games which is good. Sitting at 29-21 overall. We have the least wins of all division leaders right now.

Pitching is still doing pretty good. 6th in ERA now at 3.21. Ventura is 3-3 with a 2.51 ERA. Jason Vargas is 4-4 with a 2.60 ERA. Guthrie leads the team with 7 wins. Duffy has the highest ERA of the starters at 3.82. Luke Hocevar made his return from TJ surgery. He has a 2.45 ERA in 14 2/3 IP. Jason Frasor is going to be designated for assignment. He has a 7.84 ERA. Louis Coleman or Michael Mariot will be called up from AAA to replace him.

Offense has been good at the same time though it hasnt. We are 5th in the league in runs. And scoring runs is ultimately the goal. But there is no one player doing anything special. Jarrod Dyson leads the team with a .297 AVG. But has only played in 25 of the 50 games. Currently starting vs righties because Lorenzo Cain pulled a hammy. Mike Moustakas leads the team in AVG at .278. Thats the same Moose that had a .236 career AVG heading into the year. Alcides Escobar leads the team with 60 hits. Alex Gordon and Kendrys Morales have the most HR with 7. Eric Hosmer leads the team with 36 RBI. Salvador Perez has been the most disappoint hitter so far. Only a .239 AVG with 2 HR and 17 RBI.

Francisco Pena, Catcher for AAA Omaha has been tearing it up. Hitting .365 with 16 doubles. He could replace Eric Kratz as back up catcher soon. And may get soem play time if Salvy doesnt get it together. Yohan Pino is 6-2 with a 1.92 ERA. But with our starters playing well and Chris Young doing fine in long relief he is just gonna have to sit down there.

Hitting in AA is abysmal. Only player over .250 is Cam Gllagher and he has played in less than half of the games. No one has more than 5 HR or 14 RBI. Kyle Simmer, finally healthy has been playing very well. 2.71 ERA. Unless he falls apart he will move to AAA around the beginning of June and will be on track to help the club sometime around mid August or when roster expand. Sean Manaea is doing good as well. 0-6 but has a 2.79 ERA.

Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

The Texas Rangers[/I][/B] are my final choice for this year, this is what I did before the season has even started:
Thier farm system isn't all that bad after all, although I already traded away 2 top 5 prospects and (Catcher Jorge Alvaro-B and SP Chi Chi Gonzales-B)and SP Wandy Rodriguez for SP Chris Archer (Rays). I think he can be a good No. 2 Starter behind ace Yu Darvish. Also his service time is low so this isn't just a short term investment.
Besides that I added Tyler Colvin - he'll be starting in LF. Another weakness was the BP, Rafael Soriano was a FA so I signed him to a 1 year deal. The last trade I made was for Philles Reliever Jake Diekmann, Phillies got Travis Demeritte (C-Potential). Both will be Setup men for Neftali Feliz.

With those changes the rangers can be a contender in 2015 don't you think? Solid rotation (with Yu Darvish being a real top shelf ace), solid line up, and solid BP and still decent farm system.
