Re: Lessons Learned

What if one of those missing players are tearing it up in MLB? I think some said all the minors are.real players no more fake players.

For some people, once they start a franchise, what's happening in the real world of baseball is irrelevant to their franchise. That's how I play as well.

Not sure. I won’t start a franchise for a couple weeks because some creators will be dropping some good CAPS of missing players in the vault, day one.

Disconnect the thinking between your own universe of your franchise, and the real world we all live in.

Once you realise you CAN break that link - youll wonder what took you so long.

Re: Lessons Learned

Great post! I will be adding CAPs for the international players that I copied from a roster in 23 and will be rolling out my first franchise game on the 15th! I'll be rolling with HOF for the first time ever this year with maybe a tweak here or there (CPU strike frequency so I can maybe draw a walk lol, and steal success as always), clean screen, classic pitching and directional hitting and letting it roll. I just want to play after a really fun time in 23 with the White Sox, I am so pumped to return to the Braves for 24!

Cheers Willie ill keep a look out for those CAPs on the 15th.

As regards CPU K Freq - honestly - dont need to - i drew walks in the top 10 of the league after 100 games - patience will reward you!

I usually only tick it down one, so you're right in that it is probably much more of a placebo thing for me anyway! So I'll just roll with it regular if you have that much success

Almost time for another great year of the Show

Some guys truly do magical work

Re: Lessons Learned

Maybe this will help someone and buy you some time until a roster drops. I started doing this about 4 or 5 years ago.
I will take the team with the best hitting. I use a combination of contact ranking and power ranking. Then I start a franchise, no spring training as I feel you won’t get good results and play to set your sliders / skill level.
Then you will be ready to roll when roster drops.

This has been the key to serenity with this game for me.

It appears CAP face choice might have gotten some love, too. Looking forward to what some of these guys can do.

Re: Lessons Learned

Curious to hear how the default sliders worked for you Psychobulk. That would be the hardest thing for me.

You know. I gave up on slider adjustments, went straight default, worked out fine. HOF vs. HOF.

You keep it completely separate from real life. The cool thing is you can have random unexpected players that tear it up in the game as well.

Re: Lessons Learned

I do a few things with the sliders to try to balance out the on-the-field with the sim results (Starter stamina maxed to match lowering it in sim, manager hook up a few spots to match maxing it in sim - and to keep the stamina change from sending starter innings out of hand) but yeah, I mostly just let it breathe at default too. The LR thing is a bother at times, but some of the time it's actually the highest rated reliever on the team outside of the closer - so the CPU bringing them in a lot feels like something I can't really fault them for.

I definitely play this game by the "detached from real life" creed, and any slider changes I make are meant only to help the played and the sim games match up.
