30 Team Control Question.....

[slugga77]

I have been an avid player of the show since it came out for PS2 in 2006. I have also been using OSFM for several years (Special thanks to all those guys, if for some reason one day this didn't happen, I would never consider purchasing this game). But, nonetheless, my question is: What are the benefits of 30 team control? I know that it helps monitor realism such as trades and call ups, but what else? Also, is it very complicated to do? Does it take a lot of time?

Thanks!

Not at all.
You actually don't have to do anything you wouldn't do choosing just one team to start a franchise.
But you can if you want and that's the beauty of 30 team control.

Just put everything for all the teams you aren't controlling to AUTO and you don't even really have to change a setting if you want to change something...just go to that teams page(s) and make the move.

Re: 30 Team Control Question.....

I use 30 team control because when the playoffs roll around, I want to be able to watch the games even if my team is not playing in them.

To amend.....

There is one thing that using 30 team control ....you will miss out on now.
The GM aspect. It disables the GM goals and the possibility of being fired from a team.(since you technically are hired by all of them)

Perhaps they can add the ability to assign a GM option to the general options in the game so that you can enable it for each team separately.

Re: 30 Team Control Question.....

i thought i was the only one who watched CPU vs CPU games. i dont feel so bad now.

I play 30 team control in a Season mode where I control the games for my team in a MoM game and when time permits I like to have CPU vs CPU games going for my division rivals and as the season progresses I also like to have all the other league contenders play CPU vs CPU games. I often don't always watch the games. In fact I will start the games and put it into Fast Play and will even use Quick Counts when I want these games to go even faster and then go do something else in the world. But come playoff time when time permits, I like to watch the CPU teams duke it out if my team is not there. In the past my team was there. But this year I am looking like I might be headed for a last place 100+ loss season. Yikes ... I am going to need therapy after this. haha

Speaking of which, time to go play my MoM game for the evening. I am on a 4 game losing streak and have lost 6 of the last 7 and the pitching match up for tonight's game tells me the losing streak could very well continue if my bats stay in hibernation like they have lately.

Re: 30 Team Control Question.....

Knight can best answer this question. I use historical rosters with 30 team control, but I get no injuries. My method of resolving this is moving guys around through the minor leagues for two weeks when slumping. I play minor league games too so it's now big deal. I sim often and attempt to play the best games of the week or try to beat losing and winning streaks. i digressed but the general question is about injuries. Now I'm not sure If I really want them on but if I can see a few it may add to the detail of my enjoyment..

Re: 30 Team Control Question.....

I thought there was an option to watch any game when you only control one team. Is this not the case then? For GM mode, what do you lost out on by not using it besides the chance of being fired and losing your team? For example I want to have the most realism and the most fun possible (and access to making the most stubs possible), but don't want to get fired as I carefully craft a team with fantasy draft which takes a lot of time.

In the USER SETTINGS----GAMEPLAY----GENERAL-----(use R2 to go to ADVANCED) .....make sure injuries are ON in that section for every profile you are using in that league. If you are controlling 1 team and the other 29 use another profile....load that one...make sure injuries are on...then hit the USE AS DEFAULT option(it's on the main screen by USER SETTINGS.....PROFILES etc(or when you make changes...it will also give you the option to just save changes or save and use as default.

the INJURY MANAGEMENT option in MODE OPTIONS.....is not the actual injury setting....just who controls putting players on the DL once they are injured.

Hope this helps.

Hopefully that won't be the case in the future[emoji3]

I would love to have 30 team editable GMs that could all be fired and moved.

Re: 30 Team Control Question.....

If you use 30 team control, will the CPU draft players in the Rule 5 draft?

Re: 30 Team Control Question.....

Does anyone know if there is any downside to firing coaches and rehiring them?

For example firing my hitting coach and rehiring him as the 3rd base coach?

The pop up window says I'm required to pay the remainder of his salary when I fire him, but it doesn't seem to show up in my available funds.

Or even firing the manager and rehiring them in order to get the contract length right?

You can set it up to either have them draft, or manually draft. For some reason there are always players eligible for the rule 5 draft that shouldn't be eligible, so I turn it to manual drafting, and just skip the picks for all the teams.

This is a bug. I think last year it actually added funds to your budget!...
So no....there is no real downside other than their attribute influences.
(hopefully....they flesh out managers/coaches/scouts in the future....this is a bit drab in the game IMO)

If you mean technically.....the game gets it right.
If you mean strategically......the CPU is pretty poor in 40 man roster logic for the most part.....so yes...I usually step in and put some house rules in for the Rule V.

I'll admit I haven't gotten to the Rule 5 draft in my franchise yet in 15, so maybe it is changed. But in 14 the first year guys like Appel and Bryant would be eligible for the Rule 5 draft after the first season. In real life they wouldn't have needed to be placed on their teams 40 man roster yet. I agree that the logic is a little off, but these guys shouldn't have been eligible to get drafted yet.
