Some franchise gameplay by DaddyD

Re: Some franchise gameplay by DaddyD

Interesting scouting thing I caught in this video. With his first pic of the guy named Peter Pile. His potential was 65-99 and his overall was 61-95. In mlb 24 this player would have been a bust with low potential. In 25 he's a generation talent.

"The rest of the draft class was a**" That's not a good sign.

Pile looks good. If he gets good performance and trajectory dice roll he should be a star.

Yet the top relievers have 55 and 60 saves. So it’s a mixed bag. We’ll only be able to tell when we get to test for ourselves.

I didn't hear Mills say that during his stream last night?

I’m not sure the Nats would do it either, given they just acquired Lowe to hold down a long term position of weakness for a few years and their outfield is fairly crowded!

That said, I think people overrate prospects generally in trades, and some of what we see in the game isn’t as crazy as people make it sound. I think the game struggles with guys who are in the process of graduating from stud prospect to real MLB star. Their ages are in “prospect” territory and their in game overall may not have caught up to their real life performance, so the trade logic may well see them as more of a prospect than they actually are.

I also feel like the J-Dom hype train is losing steam. It feels like hes been around forever but he came onto the scene when he was 17.. he's now what? 20, 21? Hasn't taken the HUGE steps to keep his high prospect profile, and fought some injuries... in this instance, maybe the Yanks want to just move and the price of Nathaniel Lowe, was worth it for them.

Idk, i'm trying not to kill the thought of these trades before playing the game first hand - i'm trying to give the dev team benefit of the doubt that they improved trade logic. I'm sure we'll see plenty that don't make sense... I guess thats what makes the game interesting.

Yeah I think if potential were a bit more dynamic that would help the way those "post-hype" guys are evaluated. Guys hang onto their prospect pedigree a bit too long in the game since there potential doesn't change by that much. Don't know that you want a guy to plummet just because of ~250 rough PAs in MLB or anything, but eventually the game has to reconcile their potential performance with the players current ratings and performance

It was on the YouTube link at the top of this thread. Jax had 60 saves.

He was speaking about his own draft picks and noting that he did no scouting. I’d expect the results to be different if he scouted some players.

Re: Some franchise gameplay by DaddyD

Yeah like I said I don’t know why this keeps showing up, and why it’s just a random few teams. Hopefully this just isn’t the final build.

But rewatching the Rays had only played 11 night games

The White Sox only 9

The Astros only 11

This is halfway through May.

I don't know what the exact date was but the White Sox is pretty light on night games in the first month. But I counted 11 through April.

The Rays have much much more night games than 11. The glitch only affects home games so I'm guessing the few night games they played were Away games.

Re: Some franchise gameplay by DaddyD

I was looking at the real life schedule a couple of months ago and there were some teams that still had tba for start times on their schedule. I think Cleveland was one of those teams and I think they were one of the teams that had start time issues last year. I wonder if some teams are late getting start times announced and then somehow in the game those tba start times end up being day games.

During the front office video the devs said age/youth trade value has been valued higher. They also said older players will accept fewer years and those big contracts to aging players will be more difficult to unload.

The guy who made the video admitted he isn't a franchise guy. He gave a 32 year old RP a 15 year contract. If the devs were correct that RP will be untradeable and he will be stuck with that contract.

What I noticed is the screen to re-sign a pending free agent from your own team remains the same. Not sure if he showed the trading block but in mlbts23 which is the last edition I own teams put pending free agents on the trading block. My plan will be to try to acquire those players and then re-sign them during the 5 day period after the end of the season rather than compete for free agents. My self imposed trade restrictions which haven't changed for many years will be put to the test.

Good thing about the Rays is they play indoors so it really doesn’t matter. It doesn’t change the look of anything really. The White Sox and Astros had the same issue last year, so maybe they’re still using last years schedules as a place holder. Still holding out hope that it’ll be correct on final release.

Re: Some franchise gameplay by DaddyD

Just watched Mills stream from last night and he talked about bullpen logic.....

He did a sim and highest innings he saw for a LR was 98 innings.... And said it seemed like SU2 guys were getting used.

He did stress small sample size, so guess we'll see.

Yea, this is what I meant about "some things to say about franchise". Was a little afraid to bring it up here without the video as context because, as you said, small sample size. Encouraging though - wonder what the complete games stats looked like in that sim.

AFAIK the video's not up yet.

Except the Rays will be playing their home games at Steinbrenner Field this year

The only division it didn't show was the NL East so it would have been interesting to see if the Mets still had the off times.

They were fine. They’d had 30 night games by that point. It showed it for a split second and you had to pause at the right time. It took me about 20 tries to do it. I’m dedicated. Lol

Did you notice if anyone in that division looked off?

Edit: Nevermind, I got it at the right spot. Everyone in that division looked fine.

The auto generated pics look a bit rough. Wish they would just use card art or something.
