Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

What realism is there in those fake players in default roster???

the ability to edit them into whomever you want them to be? I dunno.

Whatever....I have my solution, and it is mine. Fairness to all. You talk realism and I speak fairness.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

Oh, just thought of another scenario:

Okay, MLB 19 and franchise mode playing season 2020 online. I imagine Kopech will be there and Ohtani will not. Well, unless we can import Ohtani the pitcher into the game. So why couldn't someone start Kopech in 2020 online?

I assume Ohtani will pitch in 2020, and Kopech as well.

You can't import and export players ONLY created players or SCEA created players.

Michael Lorenzen is expecting to participate in OF drills and extra BP this Spring Training as well.

Yes, I know that, just speaking as if that is a possibility in The Show 19.

However I got a feeling that if you have a franchise from MLB 18 with Ohtani as a pitcher (as I still do) and throw him into 19 my guess is that will then become a FAKE player, UNLESS they still have Ohtani as a pitcher and Ohtani as a DH BOTH different IDs in the system. this could be very interesting on how this works. but my guess is if you have Ohtani the pitcher from a early roster update he will turn into a fake player.

If your 18 franchise had CPU Roster Control On, and Ohtani was a created player with ability to modify appearance, then you could export him into 19 roster.

Continue franchise from 18 and use CPU roster control to export him. Then import him into 19 roster.

I don't think you can export the SCEA version of Ohtani.

You could do that but you would lose his audio and stats etc etc.

Yes, that is true. Depends how badly you want him. Audio can be adjusted to some other name, but stats are an issue. Unknown to many is Shohei's younger brother, Shuhei, also a pitcher. Though his last name is different, they do look quite similar. He goes under the name of Shuhei Oshiro

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

I know it would never happen and they would never give us the option. but if we could have a audio ID system, where we could link a created player to a real players Audio ID it would solve a lot of issues. and then we could create a lot more player without losing the audio links.

I am not expecting much change this year. sports games are really starting to go downhill with the Microtransaction crap the MUT modes by EA NBA 2k joining in and MLB going the dark side more and more each year this year I really fear for the game and I never thought I would think that. because DD mode and digital card crap is more important then a 2 way player who was doing something unique and in the headlines every week last year.

I enjoyed doing audio for MVP Baseball, but no can do for this game.

Anyway, I'm also going downhill, will be 77 in August

Wow really? my father is 77. I hope I am still playing games at 77

Yes, 77 on August 2nd. They'll probably find me dead with a PS controller in my hand.

I've been playing video games since 1978. I hope to still be playing when I'm 100. Almost halfway there.

Seems like Ohtani was an 82 overall in the 18 default roster, but on the release day update he dropped to high 70s, IIRC
Are we looking at him as a high 80s in 19, and what kind of durability we looking at , 50-65?

If he's not there as a pitcher, then all he's done is DH, hasn't played the field at all. He played 82 games as a DH.

Yeah, you'll be playing at 100, just a wee bit slower
