    One thing I noticed though is that for most players the stats from certain years are missing, like from 2016 up until last year. Is there a reason for that or can I fix this myself?
    That's an issue that occurs when players are transferred over year-to-year. There's nothing I can do to edit that.

    (There is no 'fix' for that)
    Correct.

      Seattle's roster is awesome. Just making my first west coast trip with my Tigers and ran into this group. Power laden lineup and I swear they don't have a guy who doesn't throw 97+ with some crazy hook to back it up.

        Oh great, I think I've got them coming up in a spring training game... My Dodgers are already stinking up the joint in spring training, this is all I need right now
        People are for reviews if it backs their argument, and against them when they don't.

          Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Mariners irl but they definitely have one of my favorite rosters in this set.

            I downloaded the rosters and just closed my eyes and scrolled through the teams to pick one for a franchise. Ended up with the Mariners and I’m 4-1 to start the season. Love the line up and the starting rotation has been great the first time through. I’m using Joshc77 sliders and set up too and really love where the game is at the moment.

              Grew too impatient for the IBU roster to come out so I’m doing a Bacon franchise this year. Gonna go with the Twins so I can destroy with Chip Wolf and Kev Berry!!!

              Need some help strengthening the bullpen tho... who are some good mid relief guys I can acquire for cheap??

                Rolling with the Mariners as well. Just a really good across the board team that does most things well. As a bonus they have a covered stadium if you want and the TC3 yellow work Bacon did with the Uniforms looks great. Let’s bring home the first WS Championship!

                  Starting on '18, a friend and I simmed 20 seasons, so that all relevant players are fictional. During the final two seasons of simming, we started doing the drafting, trading, etc...

                  Then after picking up in 2038, we're now in our 5th season and have moved on to '19. It's been exciting seeing some players that we drafted in 2036 and 2037 becoming our stars. It's been interesting seeing some players fall out of our good graces and I can think of at least one player who we felt was blocked/only a platoon vs LHP that has since become a star on his new team.

                  For me, I think I have a problem keeping interest once reality gets altered with real players. Like already said, I think it's easier to deal with players changing uniforms when the only reality is in the franchise file itself.
                  A little update...

                  In 2043, the Indians won an amazing 127 games! Losing seemed difficult that year. Then in the post-season, we played like a team that struggled to even win 85 games, and we're bounced from the playoffs in the ALDS.

                  Still the regular season was (obviously with 127 wins) ridiculous. We had 6 Silver Sluggers, a Gold Glove, the Cy Young, MVP, Rookie of the Year, and the Hank Aaron Award!

                  We waited to advance to 2044 until The Show '20 came out. It started off very slow, going 1-6 early on. We're in mid-May now and back to looking like we'll cruise to another division title. (Thankfully) It's not the same dominance as 2043 and The Show '20 seems to be showing our mediocre defense. We're still one of the best offensive and pitching teams in the league and will be for awhile with young stars such as 1B Kenny Garcia, CF Mitch Roberts, SP Billy Rivera, and SU Angel Cabrera.

                    Re: Fictional Rosters have made me love The Show again!!

                    I’m picking this game up today hoping that the fielding patch helped out after watching everything online but I’m wondering if there’s a good slider set to coincide with these rosters I play zone hitting and classic pitching
