MLB The Show Survey....Serious Things Being Discussed

Re: MLB The Show Survey....Serious Things Being Discussed

Do you mean default rosters should carry over each year?

I don't think that would really satisfy anyone....the reason people want custom rosters to carry over is so they don't have to start from scratch each year by recreating all their CAPs each year....if default rosters carry over that doesn't really do anyone any good

He's not worried about anyone but himself being satisfied. So if its of no interest to him, its a waste of time for SDS to mess with.

Even with custom retro rosters, it is still a small percentage of their user base. But default rosters. No reason to carry those over.

What stagnated franchise was expansion to multiple platforms, the fact there are no microtransactions in franchise and the developer implementing some very poor ideas like critical situations, morale and the new draft which is worse than the old draft.

y2y at least was correctly programmed and allowed people to continue the franchise.

The multiple platforms didn't come until 2021. Which was after y2y saves ended. Expansion to multiple platforms didn't stagnate franchise.

Critical situations is nice. You can program when you want to enter the game. There is no problem making the game more accessible for the player base. My guess is the player base grew when things like quick counts and critical situations were added.

As far as the draft presentation itself. It is no better or worse than before. Scouting is easier now in all honesty. And prospect generation is a ton better. Remember the days on y2y saves that you loved that would generate 25 year old prospects and yielded 32 year old rookies? You can't tell me scouting and the draft prospect generation is worse than before. Categorically it is better. In 14 weeks of scouting 3 players a week, I can end up with three 90+ potential players and 3 more 80+ potential players.

For reference, I finished my 5th draft last night.

I don't even believe Franchise Mode has ever been truly ''stagnant''.
But the progress has always been slow. The years it made its smallest improvements was like watching two snails race. Versus its bigger leap years when those were much faster turtle races.

The previous draft had the ability to screen the entire draft pool by attribute and you could scout more players. Simple way to search for only the players you want to scout and you weren't limited to one day a week to change scouting assignments.

Please post a video of how you scout 90 players when it takes at least 2 weeks to fully scout a player. Scouting a position takes 5 weeks. This current system was designed for the "fog" enthusiasts who want more chaos.

Scouting is worse than before.

Because you don’t know how to use it doesn’t equate to the feature being worse.

I’d suggest starting a new franchise and paying attention to the tutorial that is provided when you first start scouting.

I posted a video explaining how to use a created stadium without crashing or freezing. They could have improved player quality without spending a year of developer time reworking the entire draft. Post a video showing how to use the previous mechanic where I can sort prospects by attribute.

I'll wait.

So not 90 players. I said three players with 90+ potential and three players with 80+ potential.

You need a strategy to scout. Not just scouting everyone. You know where your picks are. Strategically scout around those picks and you will end up with a solid draft. Scouting is better because you don't have to sort through the mess of players who have been in the draft pool for years and are 24-25 years old. You could scout players who would be 19 year old second round picks in the old system just for them not to show up in the draft.

How is having that better?

How is having 25 year old draft picks better?


With the new system, I don't need to fully scout a player. Most start at 10 percent, with 3 quality scouts, you can get 45 percent a week. At 55 percent, you will have a good feel if you need to fully scout them or go to the next player. The scouting system now is about having a strategy. It is about knowing how the game generates prospects and what to look for. My week 1, I scout SP from east, central, and international. Week 2, I scout RP from those same regions. Then I start scouting around my picks.

Example. The Guardians held picks 28, 33, 65, and 98 as their first 4 picks. I am not going to scout the top 20 players because they will be most likely gone at 28. And if they are still there, they likely have something wrong with them. In this case above, I would scout select players starting at 28-33 for 2 weeks, then go to around 65 for 2 weeks, the around 98 for 2 weeks. Then each of my last picks for 1 week. At this point I am at 11 weeks. I would use the last 3 weeks to narrow down and fully scout my likely targets.

Also, knowing that injuries lower potential usually and usually draft positions is smart to know. But those injured players can be steals in rounds 3-4. I know that players that opt out of a medical exam is a risk/reward and can land you some of the best players in the draft. I know I can get good relief pitching in rounds 5 and 6 and one week of scouting a large amount of them is helpful. I after all, can scout my players fully before signing them.

Scouting requires more strategy than before. In my opinion is it better.

And draft prospect generation is undoubtedly better. No more 25 year olds in the draft. I have been vocal about my ups and downs with MLBTS the last few years, but SDS bettering their draft prospect generation is a massive W. To me, that and removing morale's impact on overall were the best 2 things this studio has done to the game. More so than y2y saves.

Scouting is fun. And being right on a prospect is rewarding. Being wrong on a prospect is fun as well. But not in a winning sort of way lol

They did spend twelve months reworking the draft? Source?
Because it could have very well been one month. Or two months. As long as we're just throwing numbers out there.

Yep you’ll wait

Because no matter what anybody posts you’re going to purposely be obtuse about it in order to keep your narrative going.

You keep saying how the devs could have done this or that all the while you have no ****ing idea as what you’re talking about.

You continually state they need to make franchise more realistic and they do with scouting and the draft but you write it off because you’re not able to understand how it works and are hung up because you can’t ****ing sort prospects by an attribute.

It seems like nothing about this game you like except for create a stadium. And anything they attempt just makes you mad.

I’d like to kindly suggest, for your own sake, consider a different game.

You play in MOM mode, so maybe OOTO would fit your needs better?

Every thread gets derailed with this nonsense and we can’t even have a proper conversation about these topics. I swear if I didn’t know most of the posters here were over 40, I’d think it was filled with teenagers.

Age is just a number. Unfortunately, immaturity can last a lifetime.


On topic, one of the things I used to think I wanted for The Show was more attributes for players. Like in NBA 2k and Madden, the sheer amount of different attributes for players is mindblowingly staggering.

But then I start to wonder, is the gameplay in MLBTS so good because of the smaller amount of attributes for players. The fewer there are, the more meaningful and impact the game play better than NBA2k and Madden because their attribute impact is watered down. The more there are, maybe they start to cancel each other out. I dont know, but it has been on my mind lately. Having said that, I still cant help but wonder what the Show would play like, if vision and discipline was broken down into righty and lefty splits like contact and power is. Same for pitchers with H/9 HR/9 K/9 and BB/9. Woulf the game play be even moreamazing if they all had righty lefty splits. Or would it just be overkill.
