The First Team You're Gonna Relocate?

Re: The First Team You're Gonna Relocate?

should have also asked what stadium to put the teams in.

For example, if I move the Dodgers back to Brooklyn, I'll have them play at the minor league park that has the Brooklyn bridge look-a-like in the background.

Of course the NY Giants in the Polo Grounds.

Philly Athletics in Shibe Park.

Stl Browns in old sportsman park.

Seattle Pilots - guess something like old twins ballpark would work.

Re: The First Team You're Gonna Relocate?

A generic dome stadium would be such a great touch for those classic teams, such as the Expos or even the old Mariners. Oh the possibilities...lol

Re: The First Team You're Gonna Relocate?

Question, in terms of changing the home stadium for a team, does anyone know if you can do that for multiple teams or just one per franchise?
Like can I make a franchise and only control one team but change other teams home stadiums before starting the league?

Yes you can, pretty sure

Re: The First Team You're Gonna Relocate?

To make division realignment possible, I'm going to rebrand the Marlins as the Pirates, trade all the Pirates players over to the new team, then turn the (former) Pirates into a team in my home state of Iowa.

Then I'm going to treat my team like an expansion team by releasing all the Marlin players, signing the worst players in the game, and simming two seasons, doing the draft in each. In Spring Training for year 3, I'll do a fake expansion draft by trading the bad players on my team for expansion draft picks from each team.

It'd be much easier if division realignment and expansion were in the game, but at least we can fake an expansion this year.

...if I move the Dodgers back to Brooklyn, I'll have them play at the minor league park that has the Brooklyn bridge look-a-like in the background.

This may be sacrilege, but Shibe Park is pretty close to Ebbets Field and would make a good choice for a Brooklyn team.

For those wondering if (X) stadium is available, everything I inferred from the stream is that there’s zero new ones besides the Rangers’. Start up any MLBTS from the past several years, set up a play now game, and scroll through the stadiums. That’s what you get.

In fact, if you are curious about the uniform editor, start a DD team. That looks to be an exact copy of what you’ll get in Franchise, too.

No. The deadline to have them transferred has passed.

Re: The First Team You're Gonna Relocate?

My philosophy in franchise it to take a low payroll team and try to win. I already have a carry over franchise with Pittsburgh and that's the one I will carry over and relocate to the Midwest.

If we had the option to realign I would take Miami and move them to the NL Central replacing Milwaukee.

I’m going to do something along these lines and trade all of the Brewers to the Astros and rebrand each team so the Brewers are in the AL and the Astros in the NL. I’ll also turn the Nationals back to the Expos. I want to recreate the alignment from when I started watching baseball. Ideally I’d change to four divisions but this will have to do since that’s not an option

Re: The First Team You're Gonna Relocate?

Washington back to Montreal...Just not sure what stadium I will use though, maybe the old Metrodome since probably my favorite out of the classic stadium choices. Other than that maybe Pittsburgh to some Midwest city, but again idk what stadium. I will do it both in my Carry-over White Sox franchise and a new one I will be starting.

Re: The First Team You're Gonna Relocate?

ya the problem im going to have and probably a lot of us is the immersion factor. of rebranding and moving a team to a stadium that has another teams logos and colors on is just going to be weird.

Final date to do that was February 7 but if you aren't familiar with the art program it would be a good idea to make the logo now so you can quickly replicate it following release of the game.

Re: The First Team You're Gonna Relocate?

Moving the Rays to Montreal. Leaning towards using Crosley Field as the home park.

Forbes, Polo, Griffith, and Shibe are all also under consideration.
