Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

I haven't posted on my Marlins franchise, but I had to share this one.

My 3-5 Marlins start a 3 game series in NY by knocking out Garrett Cole in the 1st inning. It's now 9-0 in the second inning. NY has allowed 7 walks and a grand salami to Arraez.

Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

For now, I've really been enjoying my franchise with the Mets so far in '24. I'm still undecided if I will restart once the first roster update comes out in April, but at this point, I am at June 1st and sitting at 29-30.

After a horrible start where I couldn't pitch (blew a bunch of games, SP was atrocious) and started 3-12, I have since been battling back. Lost Nimmo for about a month or so.

Baty had to get sent down due to him hitting .170 with 0 HR and 6 RBIs through the first 2 months. I tried to get him going but haven't been able to, so Vientos is now being given the shot. If he fails, I'll probably turn to Acuna to take over 2B and move McNeil over to 3B

McNeil and Lindor have been beasts for me, and Tyrone Taylor has been a GOD SEND for me, having earned an every day spot for now. Alvarez really struggled the first month, but has been catching fire for me as of late.

I'm currently looking as follows:

Starling Marte - DH - .290/4 HR/17 RBI
Jeff McNeil - 2B - .303/4 HR/35 RBI
Francisco Lindor - SS - .310/15 HR/43 RBI
Pete Alonso - 1B - .249/12 HR/31 RBI
Brandon Nimmo - LF - .361/3 HR/7 RBI
Tyrone Taylor - RF - .281/11 HR/31 RBI
Francisco Alvarez - C - .234/9 HR/18 RBI
Mark Vientos 3B - .265/2 HR/11 RBI
Harrison Bader - CF - .280/5 HR/19 RBI

Bench:
DJ Stewart
Zack Short
Omar Navarez
Joey Wendle

SP:
Quintana
Senga
Severino
Houser
Manaea

BP:
Diaz
Drew Smith
Jorge Lopez
Brooks Raley
Adam Ottavino
Diekman
Tonkin
Bickford

Going to keep this going for now. Having a ton of fun with it. Will see if I can fight the urge to have the opening day rosters post update!

Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

Man I think i might have bit off more than I can chew with Pittsburgh. 4 wins in the 1st 10 games. I can't string together more than 1 or 2 hits an inning and have hit like 3 HR's. Everything stops at the warning track.
Trying not to restart with a better team but really has me thinking I'm terrible at this game lol.

stick with it I had Pittsburgh in 23' and won the WS with them in 2024. They are a fun team.

LF Tommy Pham - .130, 0 HR, 1 RBI
CF Jackson Merrill - .167, 0 HR, 1 RBI

My pitching has carried me to a 6-1 record and in first place in the NL West.

In injury related news, Shohei Ohtani is out for 2-3 months with a torn caf

NYY Giancarlo Stanton out 1-2 months with a broken hand

Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

Dont know if this is the right thread for it, but one new thing thats absolutely massive for me is you can now trade arbitration elligeble players in the offseason! Same with renewable contracts! Cant wait to start my chise when te 1st roster update drops

Did another test, and they are only tradeable if you dont offer them arbitration. So if you offer them arbitration the 1st day of the offseason they become untradeable until you sign them or after the hearing.

For players on renewable contracts this isnt an issue. They will stay tradeable

Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

Thanks RIP for the info I like the idea of looking at the audio lists first to see what is there didn't really think of that. Not sure why it surprises me that there is only 40 pages of nicknames. I'm still trying to narrow down what I want to do as far as teams one of the options I had down was what you did last year. Having the American League consist of just USA cities and then the National league being Canada, Central America, Caribbean teams.

If you have 3 teams completely done through day 1 I feel like that is a good pace to be able to start playing games soon. With my work schedule I'm hoping to get 10 teams done a week since I usually only have 3 days to dive in. Kind of sucks that Bacon's roster is gone, I might scour that vault list and if there is a good fictional roster I'll share what I find so you might be able to use it in the future.

You can get a save by pitching 3 innings in relief or something like that.

Cardinals make first trade of regular season in deal with Red Sox

The Cardinals and Red Sox have made a minor league deal.

The Cardinals are sending OF Nick Plummer to the Red Sox in exchange for LHP Joely Rodriguez. The move is nothing more than adding needed depth for both sides. The Cards are needing left handed pitching within the organization that can pitch at the major league level and the Red Sox are needing outfield depth capable of playing at the major league level.

Rodriguez will be assigned to Memphis.

Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

Well, the 2024 Jays franchise is not off to the best of starts, dropping both of the first two games against Tampa Bay. As for the Royals, that franchise is at the end of May and we are doing better than I expected, sitting at 32-27, good enough for second in the division only a game and a half behind the Guardians. (No, I have not played 59 games of Royals franchise already. I've played six games on my own accord and simmed the rest)

Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

Last night finished my first series against the Dodgers..... Yikes lol

Playing as my Cubs. 3-6 out of the gate but games are playing great. Playing on default HOF except for increase in injuries. Starting pitching has been awful! Texas and LA were tough to deal with. Will start the series against the Padres tonight.

Honestly a lot of the time spent is scouring for suitable logos or stadiums. So it does help that stuff carries over so I already know what I’m looking for in some cases,

And yeah, I always search the vault for fictional rosters but have never really found anything complete or useable.

I don’t mind summing into the future and I’ll typically take over offseason and/or scouting a few seasons before I take over so I can have a hand in molding the team.
