Then do this instead...
On your roster PRE-franchise.....remove 15 players from the 40 man rosters to make it just 25. Set your lineups and they will remain intact after ST. THEN set your 40 man rosters after ST.

Knight, if you do this for all 30 teams, can the CPU add players to the 40-man roster during the season?

Can someone tell me if Clay Buchholz has his own motion this year?

I'm sorry if this was answered already, but I don't want to go thru 45 pages of people asking ridiculous things like "can I see of pic of my favorite player?" or "can I put wristbands over a sleeved shirt?" I just want to do an online franchise with a friend of mine and never did it before. My questions are:

1-How many seasons is the online franchise?

2-Can I do an online franchise with just 2 people, or does it have to be 30 like NBA 2k11?

3-Most importantly, how does the process of advancing days or weeks work when doing the online franchise? Specifically, does the waiver system, free agency, and trading work true to life? We plan on simming 90% of the regular season games.

Re: Official MLB 11 The Show - Q&A Thread

I know Jackson, Rhymes and Sizemore have their pictures in the game now, and im certain so will Brennan Boesch, but could someone just confirm that one for me?

I think he will. He played more games than Rhymes and Sizemore, and put on a nice little Babe Ruth-esque two months.

I hate to hop on the bandwagon, but he looks real good so far with two huge homeruns. If he can get back to hitting strikes again...and lay off a few...

The CPU doesn't really adjust the 40 man during the season..it does it off season(perhaps after trades it might during season)....but regardless....you can leave everything to the CPU even with 30 team control "on"....30 team control seems to confuse people into thinking they must do everything for all 30 teams...when in reality...you don't have to do anything EXCEPT for the drafts(and if you hit SQUARE...it will tell you what player it prefers)...so in short...yes....it's the same as if you didn't choose 30 team control if you want it to be.

1-How many seasons is the online franchise?
Just one this year.

2-Can I do an online franchise with just 2 people, or does it have to be 30 like NBA 2k11?
You can do as few as ONE...and any number in between up to all 30. You can also add/drop/change users for any team at any time during the season(pretty cool if guys want to come in later)

3-Most importantly, how does the process of advancing days or weeks work when doing the online franchise? Specifically, does the waiver system, free agency, and trading work true to life? We plan on simming 90% of the regular season games.

Not sure on any of these. Sorry.

What's up with Target Field being so empty in all the pics?



Maybe they are still going off of Metrodome attendance averages, but Target Field sold out every game last year, didn't it? It should be at least 90% full.

Re: Official MLB 11 The Show - Q&A Thread

Pretty sure i know the answer but known as the Killer B's, will Manny Banuelos or Dellin Betances be in the game in the minor leagues? Or they have to make one major league appearance before they can be added. My guess is once an injury occurs one of those guys might get called up. Im going to be tempted to wait to start a season until/ if they make an appearance so they can be in the update!

OSFM!!!...Sink4Ever is taking care of us. This way, you won't have to wait for SCEA them to get in.

The Twins sold out 79 of their 81 home games last year, and had an average attendance of 39,800. All the pictures I've seen of the show have about 12,000.

Yup, I'll be making all of the Killer B's, along with about 60-some other players. Really the credit goes to Knight for giving us some nice spreadsheets to use when formulating the ratings. And he'll also be the one reviewing all the created minor leaguers to make sure they're all created fairly. I've been fortunate to see both Banuelos and Betances pitch in Spring Training, hopefully it'll help me get their pitching motions accurate.

Sorry, that's a long way of saying wait for the OSFM Rosters, I personally really enjoy having all the real minor leaguers when playing my franchise.
