      The reason is this. I play all 162 and you have to deal with the CPU jobbing you. I don't have a problem with that because it makes the game fun to play.
      But you are already under the gun as it is with the roster being bad and then you have CPU shenanigans on top of that.

      I do not like to make multiple trades and signings to change any rosters. I like to stay as close as possible to the real team.

      No need to even play 162 with this team I already know the result. I use the S&B Slider set and it is a VERY competitive set where the CPU batters are very dangerous and hit very well. With that set a playoff spot is the best I could do IF that. The Braves lineup has something like 4 or 5 players WITH AN ABOVE 90 RATING. No way could the Mets beat them in any playoff series.

      I know from experience.

      A couple of weeks ago I took the current rosters and tried to replay the 2023 playoffs but I added the Mets in as the last seed against the Brewers. I wanted to see how far I could get with the current team. I COULDNT DO ANYTHING AGAINST THE BREWERS IN THE PLAYOFFS. Pitching was fairly good to certain point but I just didn't have a strong enough lineup to get any consistent offense going. Not enough highly rated players to keep up with the playoff environment.
      That’s where I am as well. If they don’t make any big move I’ll just keep rolling with my franchise from last year unless there are major franchise improvements

        I’m in a similar thought process, however part of me is excited to do what I did this year and sim the first season and see what trades/signings I can make to improve the team both short and long term. Whenever the Mets have had bad or OK teams, I’ve usually done that (and then carried them over to the new year when that option was available). Only thing annoying me this year is that a lot of young players don’t have their updated face scans (Baty, Vientos, Alvarez). So if the young guys all get updated face scans, I’ll probably end up doing that this year.

          We are signing Harrison Bader to the outfield.

          I don't know what his player rating is. I will have to look him up.

            Good glove, but no stick. On the plus side, he's got great speed, can field with the best of them, and a cannon arm. On the downside, he's a Yankee retread. Too bad they didn't get rid of Giancarlo instead. But if Bader is still going to be at least a 75 Overall, ther's room for him at my table. Long-term, he's on the wrong side of 28 tho.

              Current roster. Once again they have a nice core group here. Bader and Taylor give some badly needed defense AND SPEED.

              In the game Bauer would make a great addition but in real life the heat would be on him.

                Mets sign Sean Manaea.

                He is not a superstar but that is a GOOD MOVE.

                In real life that may not be the greatest pick up but in the world of MLB the Show that is a good move.

                The more options you have in the game the better.
                He is a solid pitcher and he strikes me as some one that I can really use to play better than his numbers.

                If he doesn't work out on the game as a starter you can use him as a long reliever.

                  My only concern is that Manaea doesn't throw very fast. You would think that for such a big guy he would throw harder.

                  In this situation you have use his sinker like a regular fastball and mix in all his other pitches.

                  You have to stay low in the zone and throw and high and tight every now and then to keep the batter honest.

                  I will have to use a updated roster and see how he works out.

                  Sometimes lefties in the show can be super effective.

                    Re: MLB the Show 24 The Mets

                    When you get a pitcher with a repertoire like like Manaea, do you pitch up in the zone at all with a sinker? I usually stay away from any pitcher that doesn’t have a four seam fastball

                      You gotta throw something up in the zone against the CPU even a sinker ball. If you notice the CPU will throw you a high tight sinker sometimes. Yeah I know that is not the most opportune pitch to throw high but dude has no 4 seamer at all.

                      The power hitters sit and wait for breaking balls or
                      his 91 mph sinker.

                      Dude might be better as a long reliever because he doesn't have a real pitch you can use to keep hitters off the plate.

                        Re: MLB the Show 24 The Mets

                        I'd like to put Manaea in my starting rotation, after all, he's still a Top 100 SP, but how I use him depends on what Sony does with his stamina. He only made something like 10 starts, and was used in relief 27 games. If he keeps a minimum stamina of 70, I can use him as an effective inning eater but if he falls below that, long relief and spot start will have to do. I also expect Sony to bump his Sinker speed to 93-94. Hoping anyway. I think there is just enough here in Queens to be competitive Kings in the Show. I'm also seriously thinking about using Lindor at thirdbase for about 30 games and getting Luisangel some time in at SS in addition to 2B. I think he'll be rated high enough to be my 26th man.

                          Speaking of Luis Angel what do you think would be some other realistic moves you could make. The Mets have a nice core group but their are definitely some holes there.

                          Definitely going to have to sign some sort of DH.
                          I imagine that we may not truly have the real opening day roster until the end of spring training. Simply because some of these signings are surely going to come to spring training and flop and wind up not making the roster. If Bader comes to Spring training and bats .200 or if Severino has a 6.00 era they may not see the field for the Mets in 2024.

                          Basically in The Show 24 you are going to have to be your own GM.

                          The new signings are on one or two year contracts. Spring training could make or break them.

                            I think Jett Williams right now is a Not Ready For Primetime player but I plan on manually playing his at-bats with Player Lock down in the minors for the first half of the season in hopes of quickly raising his attribute ratings enough to add him to my 40 man roster in the second half. I still believe we are getting at least one or two more big(ish) free agent names in the next 6 weeks. In fact I'm counting on it, otherwise its going to be a looong 6 months playing Show 24. I don't want to give up on the season before it begins, but I bet a lot of Met-heads sim the '24 season with hopes of a better off-season between '24 and '25.

                              Jett played high school ball about 50 miles from me. That is a very disciplined and focused young man. I would be shocked if we don’t see him playing in a couple of years.

                                I am about to start a franchise with the latest updated rosters and use that as my spring training. The Mets have the next two months to show me that they can be a competitive team in 2024. If they don't past the test then I can't mess with them in 2024.

                                I left the forces trades on and turned the budgets off in case they make a big signing. I can just add them to the roster and keep on playing.
