IBU: A 30 Team Franchise Relocation Series for MLB The Show 20

After some thought on how I'd handle team-player assignment, I decided I would do a fantasy draft with all 30 of these teams. I think it would be a very interesting concept to have 30 fictional teams draft from a fictional roster. Once I create all the teams, and finish making the roster I will announce what day ill be broadcasting the draft.

As for the roster I am currently around 1,100-1,200 created players (as of 3/6). I know there's a lot more work to be done but this is a big milestone as this roster will have enough players to at least fill out all 40-man rosters.

I'll definitely be grinding next weekend during early access. Planning on having all these teams uploaded sometime during the first full launch week.

Re: MLB 20: 30-Team Franchise rebranding series

This is awesome! I plan to do something similar with replacing all 30 teams. I've briefly used the uniform/logo/jersey editor in Diamond Dynasty in The Show 17. It has a lot of functionality but it seems to have a decent learning curve. Any tips on how you became proficient with the logo and other creators?

Can you import logos to the game from a computer or PS4?

No - you use the diamond dynasty suite or you can find an already created logo in the vault.

3/14 Update
After just a day and a half since early access began, I have completed HALF of the 30 teams for this series. The logos are all in the MLB20 Vault. Search IBU or lookup my Online ID - CrystalSeth52

Its also very unfortunate that there is no team/jersey vault in this year's game. I'm pretty upset I won't be able to share these teams with you guys. However, I do plan on continuing to put out content on this series on my youtube channel.

At this rate I should get all 30 teams done by the standard edition release date, 3/17. Once I am finished with team creation I will continue work on the fictional player roster, which is about half way done. Stay tuned for more!

Re: MLB 20: 30-Team Franchise rebranding series

So to clarify, we will be able to download your logos, but will have to make the Jerseys ourselves?

Also, in another thread you mentioned you need to have control of a team to relocate.. so creating the IBU would take 30 team control. Once you've relocated them all are you able to turn 29 of the teams back to CPU control and thus only human control one team ?

Re: MLB 20: 30-Team Franchise rebranding series

I rebranded my team (Blacksox). White home uniforms are fine. Away gray jerseys are red in the game with red socks. I originally went into franchise mode to create the uniforms and then saved them. Now when I officially started my franchise and loaded the same unis I got this. Anyone else?

Yes, unfortunately there is no way to share jerseys this year.

As for franchise relocation, when you start up a franchise in ‘20 you can import custom teams over teams you don’t wish to control. However if you already started a franchise, or are carrying over one from ‘19 you cannot rebrand teams you aren’t controlling.

Re: IBU: 30-Team Franchise rebranding series for MLB 20

I plan on using fictional rosters as well and "rebranding" all 30 teams.
I want to rename teams after teams in movies, tv, etc. mostly baseball related, but it's was pretty difficult to come up with 30 fictional baseball teams that I really care about.
So below is what my divisions will look like (give or take) with the teams they're replacing and where the teams are from. I tried my best to keep the teams in the appropriate regions except for UK teams...


AL
East
BOS - Yarmouth Red Sox (Cape Cod League)
NYY - New York Mammoths (Bang the Drum Slowly)
TOR - Brooklyn Dodgers (42)
BAL - Wonder Wharf Wonderdogs (Bob's Burgers)
TBR - Chatham A's (Summer Catch)

Central
CLE - Cleveland Wahoos (Major Leagues)
MIN - Moose Jaw Meteorites (Harry Potter)
DET - Dyersville Dreamers (Field of Dreams)
KSR - Springfield Isotopes (The Simpsons)
CWS - Chicago Black Sox (Eight Men Out)

West
LAA - Los Angeles Average Joe's (Dodgeball)
OAK - Agoura Hills Benchwarmers (Benchwarmers)
SEA - Nagoya Chunichi Dragons (Mr. Baseball)
HOU - Southeast Texas Cherokees (Everybody Wants Some!!)
TEX - Globo Gym Purple Cobras (Dodgeball)


NL
East
ATL - Myrtle Beach Bums (Eastbound & Down)
WAS - London Silly Nannies (Family Guy)
PHI - Morrisville Frackers (Brockmire)
NYM - NY Knights (The Natural)
MIA - Miami Sharks (Any Given Sunday)

Centralized
CIN - Louisiana Dirt Dogs (The Waterboy)
CHC - Rockford Dinos (A League of their Own)
MIL - Milwaukee Beers (BASEketball)
STL - St. Louis Werewolves (Who's on First?)
PIT - Charlestown Chiefs (Slap Shot)

West
SFG - Gotham Giants (Batman)
ARI - Metropolis Monarchs (Superman)
LAD - The Sandlot Boys (The Sandlot)
SD - San Fernando Valley Bad News Bears (The Bad News Bears)
COL - Park Country Cows (South Park)

If you have any other team names that may be interesting, I'd love the suggestions. Thanks

*EDIT: I've updated my teams with alternate names, some are inspired by the movies/tv shows instead of a using the exact name.

Re: MLB 20: 30-Team Franchise rebranding series

Where can I find your youtube channel? I think this is a great idea and I am currently very bored because of the quarantine. If you could post videos of your jersey creation so I can follow along and do the same that would be great.

Re: MLB 20: 30-Team Franchise rebranding series

Also if you could post the team colors so will be easier to create/edit teams.

Re: IBU: 30-Team Franchise rebranding series for MLB 20

I still don’t understand why they didn’t add in generic stadiums. Doesn’t have to be a full on create-a-stadium mode, just like 3 different types (outdoor, dome, hybrid). It would make rebranding/relocating projects like this so much easier.

I wonder if they may add them in a future update.

Link to Teaser Trailer Video!!

With standard edition coming out today, I am happy to announce that all 30 teams have been created, and are working pretty well in Franchise. A few hiccups here and there presentation wise, but I think this is gonna be a great series.

If you have any interest in franchise relocation, I encourage you check out the video. I am continuing on making the fictional roster, should only be a week or so until I put it in the vault. You can also check out the logos for these teams in the logo vault by searching "IBU" or looking up my OnlineID "CrystalSeth52"

Enjoy! & Stay Tuned

Are you going to upload logos to the vault? I would like to play as some of these teams!

His logos are already in the vault as noted above.

Question for Crimson .. what did you end up deciding regarding service time ?
