The Show 20 Release Day/Week Plans?

[MBizzle13]

What are your Show plans for release day/release week? I'm not getting early access so on the 17th before work I'll...

1.) Play a 9-inning exhibition: NYY @ BOS. Sale starting for the good guys.

After work...

2.) I'll check out the minors rosters rumored to be packaged with the game to see if they're worthy of a Franchise start.

3.) I've never done the deep dive in DD because I usually come around to it when it feels like it's too late. I'm going to jump into that ASAP.

How about you??

Re: 2020 Release Day/Week Plans?

1) definitely want to see who made each club's Single A team. might do some tweaking Saturday, by Sunday night I want to have either a Colorado or Baltimore season underway.

2) Friday night I'll play a Braves @ Texas 'friendly' maybe even 2 or 3, really get to know SDS' latest stadium creation.


3) gotta get in plenty of exhibition games to get the Dynamic Difficulty where it needs to be for me.


4) do some exporting/importing, (Sosa, Bonds, McGwire, Ruth) for a true homerun derby.


so much to do, glad I wont have to wait till the 17th to start the grind all over again. I'd like to see how much improved M2O is but honestly I doubt I look at it for the first 2 weeks lol

Getting the game on the 13th. I booked a vacation day off work ( first time ever for a video game (got a head shake from my wife and kids for that haha)) so I’m going to pick it up first thing in the morning.

I’ll check out the rosters and if everything looks good to me I’m jumping right in on a Jays franchise.

I never got more than 40 some odd games in my franchise on 19 because every time I’d get started the Jays would call up another prospect and I’d end up restarting. Not this year...hopefully 🤞🏻

I have off on the 13th and 16th and will be starting my Phillies franchise day one. Seeing that scan of Bohm had me feeling like a kid waiting for Christmas.

Re: The Show 20 Release Day/Week Plans?

Carrying over my White Sox franchise and starting up another franchise with the Pirates who I will be moving to somewhere in the mid west, not sure where though since I would like to know what options there are to move them too. Also be moving the Blue Jays to Montreal most likely and re-branding the Padres as well, never cared for the Padres name and definitely don't care for the brown and yellow they are again. And then of course playing games.

Re: The Show 20 Release Day/Week Plans?

if GS is doing a 9PM release, I will call in Friday, Jam my Cubs franchise all weekend. Set up a league with my 3 other buddies. Already a personal day on the Monday scheduled.

I usually get 10+ seasons each year on franchise playing 40+ games a year. Cant wait.

Re: The Show 20 Release Day/Week Plans?

Step 1: Exhibition game, Jays @ Cubs playing as the Jays since I love Wrigley but never get to play there normally.

Step 2: straight into practice mode to check for any potential differences from 19 and start the slider playtesting.

Step 3: start both my carry over and a new franchise as a control.

Step 4: hop back and forth between the two franchises and practice mode, continuing to refine sliders.

Step 5: lock in sliders and ditch my control franchise.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Yeah that'll take me to month 3 at least.

Oh wait first day? Yeah I might get started on step 3. Maybe.

Re: The Show 20 Release Day/Week Plans?

Well, I pre-ordered The Show for the 1st time since 2015 while I was on PS3. Decided to take the plunge again to preorder. The main or biggest reason is that I know we should be in good hands since Ridin works for the Show now. Therefore we should have pretty accurate rosters upon release which is a 1st for the series.

Of course, depending on the cut off date for him working on the rosters will depend on how many transactions/moves we will need to make ourselves. Probably not too many moves we need to do. Mostly minor league moves more than MLB roster moves.

That should take a lot of editing we normally need to do out of the game so we can get straight to our franchises. Of course, we will probably see a release day patch & a couple more for the game as well through the summer months.

I'm off work the 13th and I preordered the digital version (is it available for download at midnight on the 13th?) So I'll have all weekend.......I'm sure I'll look around the game for a bit before continuing my Indians fantasy draft franchise.

I’ve never gotten a game on an early release day before. Would a day one patch be applied on the 13th or would it be the actual release date, the 17th?

Anybody have any idea?

The 13th

Since it’s SDS giving it out “early” they will have it all ready to go on that day

Re: The Show 20 Release Day/Week Plans?

Pre-ordered after they announced Real Minors available at release.

I have done the same thing on Release day for many many years.

1. Play exhibition game NYY @ NYM

2. Check out the rosters, face scans, stances, HR swings, equipment

3. Claim all of my DD goodies from pre-ordering, open packs, set up logo and uniforms (my plan for MLBTS 20 is to not spend nearly as much time with DD (played well over 600 Ranked Seasons) because I want to go deeper into my franchise and RTTS and now Custom Leagues).

4. Play exhibition games with some intriguing teams (Angels, Braves, Twins, Blue Jays, and Rangers to see the new stadium).

5. After getting a feel for the new gameplay I'll get my franchise ready. Tweak the equipment, might do SOTS not sure yet and then dive into my 30 team franchise

6. Set up my RTTS, (finish up my Catcher from '19 and then start a new one as a 2B and a SP with Bacon's Fictional Rosters).

Really excited!

Re: The Show 20 Release Day/Week Plans?

I actually preordered the game back in October as part of a B2G1 Free sale at Target, so I'll be getting the game on the 19th or 20th.

I never do anything other than franchise mode, and given that the game comes loaded with full minors rosters, there's no need to wait for anyone to work up a set to download this year. So, I'll jump right into a new Cubs franchise.

I love the Cubs stars, but I'm really not excited about a lot of the other players on the roster, so I'm going to start by trading away some of the dead weight for prospects, then sim the 2020 season, before really digging into the following offseason and having fun.

Re: The Show 20 Release Day/Week Plans?

I am assuming that the pre download is available on the Wednesday for early access?
