Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Does anyone know if CPU teams will sign free agents during the regular season in franchise this year?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question or has answered before, but I just found this forum and didn't see an answer while I was perusing.


Is there anyway to see past award winners or world series champs or the like in Franchise? I had the show 14 and just got 16 a couple days ago and haven't been able to find it. I hated not being able to see those things in 14, especially when we started becoming a dynasty. It was annoying picking up the game after a couple months and completely losing all the history my team had because I couldn't remember when I last won the Series or if my Ace had won the cy young last year, etc.


It seems like a fair amount of people just record that stuff themselves. Is that my only option?

Yes, I've seen it.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

is there any way to assign a free agent to a roster without replacing another player?

Not if the roster is at its limit of 90 players.

Unfortunately there is not. One of the things I keep asking for year after year. As of now, you have to do what I do and write it down in a notebook, or use the computer.

I'm not seeing any injuries during my current franchise. Spring Training was void of them and I have yet to see any about a month into the season. I've got the injury slider even up four clicks. Are they bugged or just not as prevalent as before?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I'm sorry but I'm new here. I'm continuing my franchise from 2015 and there are players that were in the game that have retired. Does anyone here post or list the names of the players that need to be edited in 2016 to their old 2015 counterpart? For example so far I have found Aramis Ramirez, Tim Hudson, and a couple others, but I know I'm missing some. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where I can view the pitch count for a pitcher once the game is over? I am not sure if it shows in the box score or not.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

So I was playing Road to the Show. I am in my 4th year. I was hitting.375, 28 home runs, and had 64 rbis. I was a starter on the all star team. I was the leader for the Mvp award. On July 30, the Rays traded for Alex Gordon and I get sent down to AAA. Then a week later I get moved down to AA. All of a sudden every attribute goes down ten points. I am wondering why in the world this happened? It seems beyond illogical and I feel like I've wasted plenty of time on this player.

Sorry for the dumb question

When I'm looking at my lineup and/or starting pitchers there is a red circle and a green circle around their rating, what do these circles signify?

Red: Overall rating
Green: Fatigue (the less green, the more fatigued they are).

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I haven't played The Show in a couple years, so I have a few questions about this years version:

-Is it possible to prevent trades from occurring between CPU teams?

-Are offseason player declines, with players in their 30's, still drastic?

-Is there the ability to change the direction of the left handed pitching meter? I'd like to be able to have it face the same direction as the right handed version, as otherwise it's tough to get the timing down.

Thanks.

It's not in the box score but I do believe it's in the game log along with how many were balls and strikes. Not 100% though so don't kill me if I'm wrong.
