MLB lockout

Re: MLB lockout

I trunk this lockout is really going to mess up the default roster when the game is released. If all the unsigned players are in the free agent pool it will likely really throw off the rosters from being balanced.

Another problem is teams under CPU control do not typically sign any free agents during spring training of the first month or two of the season. So letting the CPU sort out the free agents likely means guys like Freeman and Bryant remain unsigned for months into the season.

If that happens, I am going to have some fun with it....put some guys in some fun places....totally change the landscape of the league. I'll just cobble together my own roster to import into the mode.

Re: MLB lockout

well it is more then likely gonna be 14 teams in playoffs. sooooo

There is SDS marketing for 2023 for franchise '14 team playoffs lets market that to get people excited next year lets not update that for this year',

When you think of M2O as well. there is ZERO chance that any new playoff format makes it into the game this year.

Nope, looks like 12 teams.

Sounds like both sides are staying to finish this… Please be true!!

I can live with 12 teams. Mlb the show can’t though lol isn’t that a ghost win now? No way that making the game this year they woukd need to rewrite m2o and franchise

They are even taking about the shift, can we turn shift off in the game if they change this?

Yea I gotta imagine deal is done tomorrow! Seems like both sides are rounding 3rd at this point.

If deal is tomorrow, I can not wait to see the signings, trades unfold… Its gonna be a real march madness!

Re: MLB lockout

Yeah, no way they talk until 2:30 am after 15 hours and not get this done today. The players will come down on the luxury tax to get some more bonus pool money.

Re: MLB lockout

I'm curious how much of an impact, if any at all, a lockout will have on sales?

Re: MLB lockout

MLB is excepted to announce delay of 2022 regular season.

Re: MLB lockout

I think the lockout will effect sales quite a lot actually. but then again people might want 'some' baseball in their lives and the game is the best to get that.. but any casual baseball fans or gamers will probably pass.

Re: MLB lockout

I for one am not planing on purchasing. I won't say it's 100% because of the lockout/cba(I've yet to see any improvements for me personally that warrent a pick up), but it is playing a factor.

With more than likely new rules and expanded playoffs etc, it would be hard for the show to get that stuff in(baring a patch, but I don't know enough about programing to speak on that). As someone who likes as much realism as possible, that is swaying my decision. If I have to play a game with the "old rules" if you will, may as well just save my money.

Plus, as others have said, the default roster is gonna be a mess for sure.

Re: MLB lockout

Yeah I’ve been going back and forth about whether to start a new franchise or just play’21.

I’m now leaning towards sticking with’21. Not the lockout per se but with rosters being a mess likely I don’t want to create a fantasy roster by signing guys to where I think they will go when I have that currently.

I’ll buy the game because I collect video games, especially baseball, but unless something in the upcoming premieres floors me, it won’t be on release day.

I figure most baseball fans that would play the Show because of the spare time they have owing to the lockout are probably the kind of fan that already plays the Show

what I think is much more likely is fans that normally would buy the Show, a good chunk of them will be so upset with players and owners they would rather take a Nolan Ryan heater to the nether regions than further line those two pockets. its a good thing they have the Nintendo as another console to market to. Sony may need those sales to right the ship

Re: MLB lockout

Yeah, I'm 100% sure I'll buy it eventually. But it most likely won't be until stuff is sorted out in real life and seeing if/how it effects the game. And most likely when there is a se or price drop
