Re: The Show 18 Q&A Thread.

New to the game, and am having trouble saving progress in Franchise mode. For instance, it will save the game I play, but then when I make lineup or roster moves, it loses them. I can find anywhere that says "Save". Also, can you save a game and come back to it later?

Sounds like you have lineup management on Auto. Needs to be switched to manual. Not sure where it is exactly but you hit square to toggle it.

And yes, save & exit is in the in-game pause menu.

Just set the trade slider to zero. It should do the job.

Thank you where would a person locate the trade slider?

Hello, question. How come I can’t add chin guard to some players? Helmet style and Chin guard is unable to be touched? Appreciate any info you guys have on this.

Is the paywall for getting cards in DD really gone? We were told that you don't need to play any online games in DD to get cards like you had to last year.

I also had trouble with this about a week ago. I have noticed players that were created by different people and then imported you can't insert the chin guard and other players you can't cuz they are minor leaguers. now if you add a minor leaguer to your MLB Roster and edit him then you should be able to add the chin guard

Re: The Show 18 Q&A Thread.

appropriate and funny unfortunately I've had that slider all the way to the left from the beginning.
Do you know if there's a way I can get rid of players that the CPU put in with waivers and replaced my legendary Boston Red Sox players?.

I wouldn't know about that, sorry.

Re: The Show 18 Q&A Thread.

Okay, question time...

I have played ten games now, and am getting ready to lock in my slider set, and I realized that after playing two games with identical starting lineups and pitchers, as a way to get a better base for slider testing, that I may have stumbled upon something.

Is it possible that the PCI, which I don't look at or see, as I play clean screen, changes within the at bat, based on the count?

So, let's say JD Martinez gets down 0-2, does his ZOI (my made up Zone of Influence) change dynamically because he is in a pitcher's count, and his plate coverage shrinks as he is in a minus-situation? Conversely, if he is up in the count 3-1 and looking to ambush a fastball, does his ZOI get larger, based on his plus-situation?

My questions stems from the fact that in game one, I purposely set the controller on my lap until the CPU threw a strike. So, as one might expect, I started to see some very favorable counts, and as a result, I hit three homeruns, including a dead-center absolute bomb with J.D. and a missile to right by Benentendi. I won that game handily, and the starter for the Rays was gone by inning three.

The next game, I found myself not being as patient at the plate, and as a result, the Ray's pitcher had only thrown 33 pitches through five innings, and I could not square a ball up to save my life. I ended up getting shellacked, and mustered three hits the entire game.

So, perhaps as a combination of the pitcher's confidence, and my getting into bad batter's counts, was there an under-the-hood reduction of the plate coverage, ie. ZOI that fueled my ineptitude at the plate, or do we chalk it up to the "variable stuff" of yesterlore, that seemed to include a pre-game dice roll on how the game would play out, based on overall malaise, or hustle respectively?

If there is some sort of voodoo in there, and there are dynamic changes based on situational advantages throughout the game, then kudos to the person(s) that figured out how to mimic the ebb and flow of baseball... if it is a placebo effect, and I was just swinging at crap pitches, that's okay too... it just seemed like the batter-pitcher advantage seemed to really play out well when I took the time to be patient and look for pitches to drive.

thoughts, questions and comments please.

I don't know about zone but I know in directional there is definitely a boost for seeing more pitches and working the count.
