Re: March to October thread

Had a crazy power surge in our home and electricity cut off in the middle of the game saving my Blue Jays MTO file. So, that wound up being corrupted (I could've continued but wouldn't have unlocked anything) and my profile was wiped out (when I rebooted the game, had to enter my settings in again). Unfortunate, but glad I can still play the game as originally after the outage, I couldn't get my Pro to turn on; had to plug it into a different outlet.

On the hunt for a new team to use now.

Re: March to October thread

Anyone else have this issue?

I know that if you change your lineups it takes a game before they take effect.

This is because you jump into games midway through, so even though you've changed your lineups, the game has already started with the old lineup. Not sure if that's what's happening in this case.

Re: March to October thread

Yep I played mine over a couple days. It's probably about 25 game instances that make up your season. All ranging from the final out to 3-4 innings. I didn't actually make the playoffs but played in 2 wild card games and both of those were the full 9 inning game.

I had to play a 163 game vs the Yankees with my jays I lost in a full game then I played Cleveland in the wildcard and won, beat the Astros in the ALDS and met up with the mighty Yankees in the ALCS

Went up 2-0 then lost 1, held on to game 4 and closed it out game 5.. had to have 2 comebacks to win Cavan Biggio has been a monster for me.

I had traded Lourdis for Kolton Wong and that has been a massive mistake I can’t hit with Wong to save my life

Just by curiosity, someone played MTO and didn’t win the WS ?

Re: March to October thread

I just started a MTO, my only gripe is no quick pitch option. I'm so use to starting every at bat in the middle of the count.

Re: March to October thread

The DD grind is real, so even though I rolled my Game 6 World Series Mets defeat into a Franchise for year two I started up a Dodgers one (to grind out 88 Diamond Turner)

I won 111 games and won the World Series by sweeping the Twins. I did all of this on All Star. What a relief that was winning it.

For sure going to keep grinding on All Star for other FOTF Cards, but running another one on Hall of Fame with the Mets to see if i Can win at a higher difficulty at some point.

I didn't even make the World Series. Played the Astros in the ALDS (I was the Twins) and entered all 3 games with at least a 1-run deficit. Bats went cold and pitching couldn't contain the Houston lineup.

I'm in June with the Orioles. Pretty sure I won't be winning the World Series.

Had a pretty good start, hung around .500 for a while but starting to drift back. I'm digging it - and this was with dynamic difficulty and just starting so some of this was on Rookie.

Re: March to October thread

I played through a MTO with the Mets. Dynamic Difficulty, ended up on All Star Plus hitting and Legend Pitching.

Had best record in the league, 108 wins.

NLDS beat the Dodgers in 4 games.
NLCS swept the Padres.
World Series, lost to the Yankees in 6 games.

Ugggggggggggggghhhh

I cant tell you the heartbreak i had LOL.

Best gaming experience ive had in a long while. I then rolled this into a franchise mode, left everything auto except trades and call ups etc. I'm simming all the games and playing the critical situations and treating it just like an MTO mode.

Having a blast..

Buuut that heartbreak, UGH!

Update, just swept my way back to the World Series with the Mets and guess what? A Subway Series rematch is set! Can I get my revenge? We shall see. Wish me luck! LOL

Update to the update!

I got my revenge.. Mets win the 2021 World Series in 5 games!

Game 1
Yankees 10 Mets 9 Final 11 innings

Game 2
Mets 4 Yankees 3 Final

Game 3
Mets 7 Yankees 6 Final (walk off single by JD Davis)

Game 4
Mets 8 Yankees 7 Final in 12 innings (walk off HR by JD Davis)

Game 5
Mets 10 Yankees 2 Final

Alonso Post Season MVP
Rosario World Series MVP

Lets goooooooooooooooooooooo...

I simulated the off season (after qualifying offers to who i wanted etc)

My CPU management let Thor walk, Reds signed him for 9 years. Then they signed Yelich for 7 years, along with bringing Conforto back for 6 years. I couldn't believe it.

Yelich homers twice in his debut and in a Mets 12-2 win at the Padres. Unreal the Champs started on the road in 2022.

Re: March to October thread

Sticking with the AL Central, this time I'm using the Chicago White Sox. We're off to a good start, sitting at 17-6. I really like the team's lineup and the starting pitching, especially Keuchel, have been really good in our season. The bullpen is OK, but could use some upgrades, so will be looking to add there via trade.

This latest updates increases the amount of team affinity earned for a single run of MTO.

Not gonna lie, that ticks me off. LOL

I grinded one out with the Mets on Dynamic, would of earned more in general and I just won with the Dodgers yesterday and would of had more as well.

Bah

BUT, this makes it easier going forward to get FOTF players. I was gonna buy Gallo (by doing exchanges) but now I'll just roll through on all star and snag him that way.
