After 200 games played, MLB '20 delivers another all-star performance

Re: After 200 games played, MLB '20 delivers another all-star performance

I didn't initially like the new Action Points system for MyGM, but I'm warming up to it slowly. I would, however, ask for a bit more explanation, as there are still some aspects that confuse me. For instance, I changed the option in GM Settings to allow for 10 "Extra Actions Per Day". Yet for whatever reason unexplained to me, even though my weekly schedule on the Overview tab shows upcoming days with both 10 Action Points and 11 Action Points (those are on gamedays), I always end up starting with just 7 Actions Points once I move on to that day. Where did those 3-4 Action Points go?

I think you may be in the wrong forum??

Something else this game does well, is that sometimes your pitcher just doesn't have it. Doesn't have a feel for a particular pitch. Case in point, playing a game and Kyle Funkhouser (Overall 97) is on the hill for me and he just can't locate anything, including his fastball and curveball which are his two best pitches and his curve, when on, is filthy.

So instead of being about to challenge hitters more often, I'm having to take a different approach to try and get him thru this game, or at least thru 5/6 innings so I don't tax the bullpen.

Very frustrating but very rewarding and engaging at the same time.

This part of franchise play is absolutely fabulous and very immersive. It can also be very rewarding when you figure out a way to gut-out 5 or 6 innings and keep your offense in the ballgame.

Something equally as frustrating but somehow rewarding/enjoyable is when you face a pitcher who isn't an all-star and/or is having a poor season and you just struggle against him on any given night.

Case in point, facing Zach Lingenfelter of the Brewers. He's struggling this year as he comes into the game 2-3 with a 6.79 ERA. He went 6 innings against us striking out 8 and yielding just 1 run on 4 hits. He had his changeup working tonight and his fastball/changeup combo was enough to keep us off-balance.

So frustrating, but at the same time, adds to the simulation of the game that sometimes a pitcher, no matter who it is, just has it on any given night.

I don’t know

Maybe because it’s a carryover?

Or it could be because I get a special fanboy edition

The fact that I can go pop in 14 and more or less it feels/looks/plays the same as 20 is pretty brutal. Sure it's a great base, but they've just rested their laurels now. Hopefully they try to step it up with the next generation of consoles, but I'm not holding out too much hope

14 & 20 are both baseball games after all, so there is going to be a somewhat similarness. they don't need to reinvent the wheel. as far as looks, look at the player eyes in 16, then look at their eyes in 17. huge leap. also, the entire player model, you have drastically more ability to customise, what with spine length and whatnot. while the differences are slowly changing, there's no doubt they are evolving. I still enjoy putting in 14 from time to time, to play with players who are no longer in the game but not being able to adjust contracts really grinds my gears about it. thankfully you can now. there are plenty other changes over the years but you have to know where to look. this year the little difference I've enjoyed are the new adverts at certain stadiums. I'm trying to remember but I don't think the classic stadiums are in the ps4 version of 14 either (first year on ps4).

Lol at that special edition.

But seriously, not using the current roster assuredly has a lot to do with it.

On the theme of things this game does well/are infuriating - the toll injuries take on players, specifically those that are older.

I had Jacob deGrom retire this past off-season after his ratings plummeted following a significant injury during the prior season. Currently, I'm watching Noah Syndergaard's ratings drop rapidly after a back strain earlier this season. He's only 31, but he's already amassed 1800+ IP and has pitched deep into several postseasons (not to mention throwing 100+ every 5th day for 9 years).

While I wish veterans were more elastic in their recovery, it's pretty cool to see injuries at that point in their career have a much more significant effect than if they had happened in their rookie season.

Disagree.

While they are similar due to the fact that they are the same series, developed by the same developer, and simulating the same sport, the gameplay of '20 in terms of hitting, ball physics, catcher play, and defense is light years ahead of where the game was in '14.

I can for a fact agree, that roster has a lot to do with how this game plays this year. This years rosters are just horrible. Something is off in them. Im not a programmer, just a humble player, but something isnt right about them. I too resorted to going with my carry over season and it is lights out a much better experience. As not as in depth but played a little with Bacons fictional roster, again, a much better game experience.
