MLB The Show 20 Q&A Thread

Re: MLB The Show 20 Q&A Thread

I downloaded a roster that had the missing players like Puk, Lux, etc and I was gonna bite the bullet and start a franchise. But after doing a test sim before this, in the first month, the CPU made about 20+ trades. Is there any fix to this? Because there's no way I can start if that's gonna happen. The trade frequency slider has no effect either.

No

Its a bug or issue with the both the default and live rosters in '20. Not sure the culprit but you can load a roster from '19 and this issue doesn't happen.

And the trades happen all year until the deadline. It's nuts.

You can control what happens if you so desire. For instance, if 2 teams make a trade that you dont like or think is unfair you can undo it. It essentially keeps things even if you will.

I'm kinda new to the show as 19 was my first time playing. I didn't try 30 team control. Is there a benefit to it besides those trades not happening?

Yeah I'd rather just let the cpu do them haha. Hopefully this can be fixed with a patch

No more WAR or am I overlooking it?

I've gotten to really like SDS version last couple years.
sure PEACE sells, but who's buying?

I see it still, it’s towards the end of the stats page on the player card.

Re: MLB The Show 20 Q&A Thread

I just purchased the MVP edition from the PS4 store for 79.99. However I didn't get a download. I checked my bank and see there is a pending charge, and there is for 79.99 so I know I got the MVP version to get the game early.

When I click on the "tell me more" option on the screen where the game is purchased, it reads....you are unable to download because you already own MLB 2020 the Standard Edition...So it appears as though I might be screwed until next Tuesday????

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help.

had my first bug where the CPU catcher just had the ball and it wouldn't move along the only way was to advance my runner and get caught at 2nd

I don't know if this is helpful at all, but this might just be a normal streak. There are many other people who are going to get 5 beans in 3 games, but also there will be even more who get 0 beans in 3 games. You can see the same thing in the actual MLB games.

Although it's likely that over the following 3 games you'll get fewer beans, it's still possible to continue the streak. Someone else is going to get an even bigger streak and probably already has.

I'm not dismissing any possible issue, but this is a quirk of baseball because there are so many stats you can keep track of. It is always hard to distinguish a streak from something else. What can be done? I believe the best way to diagnose stats is to gather a ton of data and compare it to MLB:

Last year in the NL, it was 1048 HBP for 2430 G which is .43 HBP / G. We can then periodically compare with user stats by doing the same division over hundreds of thousands of games (i.e. 100 years of MLB worth). I don't have the exact data in front of me, but I type it up twice a year and it came out to be a similar number.

HBP is simpler here, but it gets tricky with things like Hits that are much more sensitive to difficulty. I.e. if you are really good but play on Rookie, even an incredible hitting streak doesn't mean much - it just confirms that you are really good.

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense.
