30 team control vs Single team

Re: 30 team control vs Single team

Armor, how do you handle CPU call-ups and send downs?

I let them do whatever they want. The only thing I am watching for is their rotation management when a starter goes down.

Do they call up and send down by performance even when there isn't any injured player to replace?

30 Team Control allows you to approach your franchise/season exactly like a single team control franchise if you wish. Everything for the other 29 teams can be set to auto.

There are a few reasons though I use it.

1. Trades - I usually let most trades pass. In fact 80-85% will go through. But...I do see some big head scratching trades and that is after looking at all the angles of why a team would make that deal. So I will reverse those that fall into this bucket. It's my franchise....I will play God (League Commissioner) if I wish too.

2. Lineup management - I control every teams lineups and pitching rotations. I want to make sure they are using the best possible bating order and rotation. Most of the time they are fine, but they can use tweaking. When the season starts I go through each team and make sure everything looks right to me. Again...it's my universe and I want it my way.

3. Brand Sponsorship's - I like them. I want to use them. The problem is the CPU won't. So what do I do? I set them up for each team and also base it on team strengths (for the type of sponsorship) as well as market. Small market teams get no diamond sponsorship's, only one gold and the other two silver. Middle Market 2 Golds One Silver, Big market teams can have up to 2 diamonds and one gold.

4. Hey what if I want to take on a new challenge? - having 30 team control allows me to jump to another team if I become bored but don't want the universe to stop.

The only negative I see is if you want to play with GM goals turned on. They are automatically disabled with 30 team franchise. Other than that it's all upside for me using 30 team control.

The only time I don't use it is on my Fantasy Draft franchise. I am susing single team control and no sponsorship's. If I get fired....shame on me...that means I did a lousy job.

Great answer Armor. Quick question how do you setup the secondary profile to control the other teams?

Everything auto except lineups/rotations

It allows me to fix lineups as well when injuries occur. What will happen is you will get the message team ABC does not have 4 valid lineups. It allows to me scroll to the team and check out what the injury is and I can properly call up or insert the right player based on my knowledge and not the wonky AI we seem to be getting more this year than ever before.

It is extra work, but it is worth it for me because if I see a RP in the starting rotation I cringe. That stuff drives me nuts. I am not crazy ADD....but I can't let that stuff (basic baseball roster management) go unnoticed.

I understand that part but how do you create the second profile to control the rest of the 29 teams?

Armor--I've been reading in another thread that this has improved this year. Not as many RP starts when a CPU starter goes down to injury. Have you seen this as well?

Only thing I don't like about 30 team control is having to sim other games to get the in game score ticker feed updates and in game out of town scoreboards working. Minor thing for sure.
