Is it worth upgrading from 23 to 24? For a franchise only player?

Re: Is it worth upgrading from 23 to 24? For a franchise only player?

Has the sim stats engine been changed? (bullpen innings and appearance issues & too many SP shutouts if you don't alter the sliders)

and

For the Draft can you control all 32 teams like 2022 or is it messed up like last year's game where you can only control one user team?

Thanks for any help!

For the sim question, no. Engine is identical.

Which is a huge disappointment. It’s awful.

In my first test time, 39 pitchers threw 200+ IP.

The top LRP guy throws around 140-150IP

Setup guys throw about 20-30 innings a year lol.


Progression/Regression continue to be really bad.

Also, highly rated players seem to have progression issues (like usual)

Acuna Jr. put up a .850 OPS season 4 WAR season and has lost -4 to -5 in every attribute except bunting and arm accuracy. He's still a 99 but the game is trying to regress him down to a "normal" 99 and not the 105 he probably really is.

Austin Riley hit 40+ homers and won MVP and has regressed 2 OVR points.

Strider won CY Young and lost 2 OVR points

Judge was 3rd in MVP voting and lost 2 OVR points

And like I said earlier, any player over the age of 32 falls off a cliff as usual at end of year.

Nearly every one of them is -7 to -10 OVR



Supposedly they fixed the draft for all 30 again.

Thank you for the info. Frankly, this should be a sticky.
