MLB The Show 20 Features Multi-Season Custom Leagues with Customizable Settings

Re: MLB The Show 20 Features Multi-Season Custom Leagues with Customizable Settings

Most of us already knew when news broke it was a online feature since we once had online franchise.


One of the biggest reason its not in franchise is, well the realignment is just not design to do that the entire schedule would have to be different moving teams around like that.


On online franchise 14-17 yes you could move teams around, different divisions etc...But it was always the same designed schedule noway of getting it to match up how you align the teams.


Years ago it was 1 home 1 away on the schedule then around MLB 14 they started adding the real MLB Schedule for that season which I requested since MLB 13 on PS3 and it made it in the following year.



I do agree that off line franchise should have a way to re-align teams so the historic rosters could and would match up better. I am more than certain the schedule is the issue to why they haven't added that yet.

I’m just hoping they didn’t screw this up. If they force us to have a certain amount of players to play then that’s a massive failure. We should be able to start an online league with one other friend. For instance if I want to start a league with one friend and set the rest of the teams in the league to CPU I should be able to. That’s one of the things that made Online Franchise so incredible.

New coach video. It’s got a little bit more info.

Looks like all the custom settings and sliders are in.

Says you can edit the number of players, I assume that means User players not players on a team.

There’s a tab that says league type. And then show a playoff bracket so looks like maybe you can do a regular season or just a tournament with friends

And the biggest thing they showed which will be huge for some people, ability to use your Diamond Dynasty roster

I’m trying not to get my hopes up but this already seems like there’s more in it than I was expecting. Can’t wait for Thursday.

Oh just noticed a couple more things.
When they show the tournament bracket there’s only 1 username listed. So seems you can def have CPU teams.

When they show the player select screen on the Diamond Dynasth screen there’s a note at the top that says “Congratulations, your team has met the league requirements for your team”. So looks like you can set a cap on how crazy you’re allowed to make your DD team which is awesome!

Imagine OS run Diamond Dynasty tournaments with the max overall set at 80 or something. Damnit I’m starting to get psyched!

I do not think its YOUR DD roster.

To me it looked like you can assemble a DD team for the league, but it has restrictions as shown in the video. So many diamonds, golds, etc.

Because when the video was on DD rosters they had every player available. But who knows.

I think it would be fun if that was the case. Finish the season. Assemble a diff team.

Ahh good catch. So maybe it’s just a fancy way of saying “fantasy draft”?

It sounds like it is YOUR DD roster. The dialogue in the video said "You can even use your Diamond Dynasty collection".

Ahh hmm. Maybe the "user" just had every player available.

I hope that's not the case. Or at least give us the option to have the entire DD collection available and let us have restrictions on how many Diamonds, golds, etc we can use.

What a massive failure by Sony...

They aren’t letting us use custom rosters for the Online Leagues like they did in Online Franchise.

You can either choose from MLB Live rosters or DD rosters.

This was a very lazy job by Sony. Online Leagues should be taking steps forward instead of steps backward.

Is this going to be totally useless for offline players or am I misunderstanding?

The fantasy of recreating classic seasons with only the teams that were around then continues to be a fantasy. No pun intended

I never play online so this is so very disappointing.

When I saw custom leagues I thought it was having the ability to set up leagues like we want. No WildCards, division winners only qualify for playoffs etc. Things you can do with OOTP fictional league in other words. Seems this is just to promote buying more microtransactions to buy cards. I should have seen that coming, but since this is the last baseball game in this console generation I had high hopes.

Yep, Live Roster or DD roster which I haven't touched in a decade.

I was hoping to recreate 87 season, deleting the teams that weren't in existence at the time.

Custom Leagues. Offline.

[tytyboogie]

Re: MLB The Show 20 Features Multi-Season Custom Leagues with Customizable Settings

Well not having custom rosters does take the excitment level down for sure. Will there be a section on the forum here where League gathering/info/invites will be out there for those of us who would like to join and hopefully get to do so with some of the well respected players on this site as opposed to the joe randoms from the basic online area and such? Though ive alawys been offline franchise 96% of the time it would be cool to be a part of a league with alot of the nice people on the site.

Re: MLB The Show 20 Features Multi-Season Custom Leagues with Customizable Settings

Custom Leagues. Offline.

Do we know that we can't do that? I don't think we know yet whether you can set teams to be controlled by the CPU. I would hope that would be an option.
