Re: MLB The Show 20: Fictional Franchise Progress Thread

Alright Fictional Fans the choice of who should be the 5th starter is yours.

Shane Lindemann - 5th Starter - 9 starts 7 losses 6.86 ERA
Alexzander Starks - LRP/6th Starter - 14 appearances, 3 Starts, 1 loss, 7-0 as LRP and 1.85 ERA
Michael Money - Triple-A - 6-1, 2.61 ERA 71 SO
Joel O'Malley - Triple A - Sent Down Earlier in Season: 1-2, 1.26 ERA

Lindemann is struggling mightily just can't get anything going there not even the new pitching coach helped. Starks has pitch control of 25. In his starts this leads to issues but he's obviously become really good as my LRP. Michael Money is 23 and killing it in the minors and I don't want to hurt his progress though by bringing him up to early. Joel O'Malley has potential but struggled in his 7 MLB appearances going 0-3 and was lucky to get through 5 innings he looks like he might be improving after some starts in the minors.

Also Lindemann would have to clear waivers if sent down but I wouldn't be sad if someone snatched him up but open to trading him as well.

Re: MLB The Show 20: Fictional Franchise Progress Thread

im really liking this idea of fictional players... but i was wondering if anyone else makes one of the players themselves or their friends or just leave all the names and stuff the same so theres no attachment to any of them ?? i think im going to download the rosters and start a league soon ill keep yal updated

First I'll say that Bacon has done an awesome job on these rosters, but I did change the names of a few players, to mimic what I would see in real life....for instance I had one player named Lefty Right, and another 2 guys with the last names of Freeze and Frost, I kept the Frost last name, but changed the Freeze one.

It was just something I thought needed to be done...lol overall though Bacon has done a tremendous job on these, and If I were you I would go ahead and download them, change what you want and start your fictional journey..

Re: MLB The Show 20: Fictional Franchise Progress Thread

Love the roster. Can’t go back to regular rosters anymore. My thing is I’m worried a little. Maybe it’s slow down but I’m playing franchise as the rangers using mike Lowe sliders. Hof hitting and legend pitching and I’m crushing homerun. 4 a game. Every run but one but in the first 5 games was on a homerun. It’s my only concern. Hopefully the homers slow down a little. Can’t believe I’m saying that lol

Scoring runs is still a problem. While the hits have gone up the Padres leave a ton of runners on base and still are at the bottom of the league in most offensive categories.

Here's the home uniform I'm rolling with for my team, the Las Vegas Blackjacks, featuring my first round pick from my fantasy draft: Rex West.

Re: MLB The Show 20: Fictional Franchise Progress Thread

I'm at June 30 in my 30-team rebranded franchise.

My Ottawa Mounties are currently sitting in first place in the American League Central at 51-35. There are two other teams still in the mix in the division, the Toronto Huskies at 48-38 (3 games back) and the Madison Moose at 46-40 (5 games back).

Also cool is that my team still has the top three batting averages in the league.

Homer Webster has led the American League in hitting basically all season and he's still atop the league at .371, but he's got some competition now from his teammate Clinton Lake, who currently sits at .367 in 2nd place (and Lake in fact briefly passed him for a game when he was .372 to .370). Sitting in third in average is also one of my star players, Rondell McKnight, at .339. It should be fun to see how this batting race plays out.

Re: MLB The Show 20: Fictional Franchise Progress Thread

im really liking this idea of fictional players... but i was wondering if anyone else makes one of the players themselves or their friends or just leave all the names and stuff the same so theres no attachment to any of them ?? i think im going to download the rosters and start a league soon ill keep yal updated

I've found that just by playing games, you begin to grow attachments to the base roster players (and genuine hatred for some)....and it really doesn't take that long to start forming those bonds.

-----------------------------

Speaking of bonds, I forced myself to remember that baseball is a business and I traded away one of my favorite players, Gavyn Cook, as part of a monster deal.

The best player in the league, Paul Keys, was miffed that the Indians will not negotiate a contract extension during the season with him. It got to him and he was off to a horribly slow start that belied the Indians' surprisingly good run to begin the season (3 games over .500 near the end of April). The Indians pitching staff was in shambles...

Enter my Atlanta Braves. (ya know where this is going)

We had our own monster player, SP Miguel Cabrera, nearing the end of a very modest contract. While pitching is not a strength of our roster, the possibility of acquiring (and possibly locking-up) a stud like Keys was just too tempting. We traded Cabrera, my fav slugger Gavyn Cook (who lead the NL in HRs), and A potential SP Kosuke Oh to the Tribe for Keys and a middling SP in their rotation (who immediately clashed with the Braves' middling coaching staff, lol).

Keys, playing in front of the Atlanta fans in his first game vs the very mediocre D-backs, hits his first pitch in a Braves uniform over the wall for a oppo taco HR. Next AB, he crushed a change-up for a 469 foot bomb for his 2nd HR of the game!

It was an insane start for Keys, who was buoyed by news that Atlanta will be working with his agent to lock him up long-term. We hope that he will be the face of our franchise for many years to come.

Re: MLB The Show 20: Fictional Franchise Progress Thread

Guys, this is so much fun. First time playing with a fictional roster ever in a sports game.

Anyway, I wanna go far in my franchise, so I'm playing 1 out of 10 games. (approx. 6-10 hours/season, more if I reach the playoffs).

Took the Giants and did a fantasy draft. Rex West, Dylan Clark & Nate Painter made this season very enjoyable, but we ultimately finished 63-99, horrible. Cleaned house at the trade deadline & traded Melankon, Perkins, Spencer Miller & others to get some good prospects.

During the offseason, we wanted to upgrade our rotation, so we managed to sign Justin Dougherty (that guy is thin lol), Javier Rivas, so rotation is :

Dougherty 90
Rivas 87
Martinez 83
Journell 82
McClain 82

We also managed to sign the one and only BOBBY LOCKETT, so the lineup looked like this :

1. Joseph SS, 83
2. Bush CF, 81
3. West 1B, 99
4. Clark LF, 93
5. Painter RF, 90
6. Lockett 2B, 88
7. Pain 3B, 81
8. Humphries C, 68

BUT, the Giants were not done. We wanted to upgrade the C position, so we traded Bush + A prospect for Mack Shade (his look is cool !).

We also did a blockbuster to get HACK STEPHENSON, we had to give our best prospect, Felix Fernandez + Alexander Reese + Another blue chip prospect (#13 in the league). So going into this season, our lineup looks like :

1. Joseph SS, 83
2. Lockett 2B, 88
3. West 1B, 99
4. Clark LF, 93
5. Painter RF, 90
6. Stephenson CF, 87
7. Pain 3B, 81
8. Shade C, 82

Pretty happy with the team right now. I'm having a blast, and I'm looking forward to blash shots in the bay this season !

That's a solid team. I think you'll be in good shape to win 100+ games this season. Keep us updated.

After over 2 months of working day and night to make 30 rebranded teams, as well as my own fully fictional roster...

I can finally sit down and play a full game of MLB 20 The Show for the first time this year. Definitely gonna enjoy this franchise!!

Re: MLB The Show 20: Fictional Franchise Progress Thread

I've never been more angry at a game than I am now. This sorry excuse for a bullpen lost 2 straight 5 run leads in the bottom of the 9th. Giving up a total of 13 runs. I'm done for the day I'm to angry to play anymore. The offense finally gets going and these clowns forget how to pitch. Struggling 0-7 Shane Lindemann was on track to finally get a win.


=================
Edit: Here's some game footage I put together from my almost no hitter earlier in the season. Let me know if you like it maybe I'll do some more baseball videos they are a little tougher to put together than my football (soccer) ones but I thought it came out okay. Funny story Detroit also ended my chance at a no-no last year in my Mariners franchise.

Re: MLB The Show 20: Fictional Franchise Progress Thread

Just had to put this out there, I just hit a 501 foot HR with Mason Franklin. It was at Coors field, but still, the longest that I've ever hit

Re: MLB The Show 20: Fictional Franchise Progress Thread

Greetings,

I am an old MLB the Show player and recently found these fictional rosters and I am enjoying them. Does anyone know how Bacon got the past stats in to the game for these fictional roster players?

I was hoping there would be a way to get that data.

Thanks

Re: MLB The Show 20: Fictional Franchise Progress Thread

I just discovered that these rosters existed and thought I would give it a try. I'm still playing the show 19 so I'm not sure if posting here is appropriate. I did a fantasy draft using the giants. My strategy was to go for speed because I struggle to hit hrs. I didn't go after any prospects so my minors are very thin. I drafted the best ranked team then I created 3 players to put on my team. A ss, 3b, and c all about 80 ovr before morale adjustments. I'm only a couple series in and it's been a lot of fun.

Welcome aboard friend!

I am him and as the one who did it, I know exactly what I did.

Stats and service time were achieved by simulating time in franchise mode and having players play. Then, you export them out of franchise and they'll have career stats. This is only possible pre-MLB19 and has been glitched since to count forward instead of backwards.

I'm happy to answer any further questions regarding this.
