MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

[vinny_pizza]

can we ramdom select schedule? also swap divisions? i would like to play all the oponents instead of playing one interleague divison

That would be a great add on for MLB 14. I would love to be able to move teams between leagues for more customization.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

To plan ahead for our next draft I was hoping to find some type of spreadsheet or printable document that gives all of the SCEA player ratings and specific attributes like potential, etc. I already have the OSFM v1 spreadsheet but was looking for the SCEA one just in case we go with the default rosters. If somebody has that or knows where to find it please share! A Mock draft or something of the sort would also be really cool or just a document giving where the player is expected to be drafted. I have read the thread on fantasy draft teams and got some great ideas but I am a person that needs paper in front of me so I can come up with what I feel like could be a great game plan.

Second I wanted to ask for some opinions on whether or not we should consider switching to the OSFM rosters. What are the advantages/disadvantages

By potential you mean numbers right? To my knowledge all attributes are accounted for in fantasy drafts. I would love to make a spreadsheet with info such as where players go, and if I have the time I just might

Re: MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

I guess this thread is as good as any to ask this:

This didn't use to happen, but now every time I start a franchise I can't trade with anybody because they don't have the budget available. This is before any teams have even had a chance to make a move that might take up their remaining budget. This has to be some sort of glitch. Due to the fact I bought this game solely for franchise mode, this is extremely upsetting. Anybody know how to fix this?

I've managed to make a couple of trades, but every so often if I try an even swap salary wise, I get the same message about one or both teams not having the money available. I thought I was still 7mil under the cap. I couldn't find where you see the cap room for other teams though.

OK, I still can't get my players to take a lead off of first base. I tried H&V's suggestion of waiting for the players' "settle" animation to play out, but even then, nothing happens when I press L1.

I don't get why this was changed? You can pre-load a steal, why not the lead off of the bag? I played MLB 12 last night and had zero issues with this. I've also had no issues with the Vita version of 13 using the Analog stick.

Try making sure you hit L1 firmly.

Let me know if that helps.

I've held it down, mashed the button and tapped it ... nothing.

LOL!

Honestly, I know your pain. It's like, it all of a sudden clicked.

When the runner gets stuck in his animation, you really will not be able to take a lead.

I suggest continually calling time until you get it.

Hit the button deliberately and after a few tries, you'll never have to worry about it again.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

Has anyone else had issues with players not taking leads when you press L1?

Try double-tapping L1 to take leads and double-tapping R1 to shorten lead. This solved the problem for my friend. Also had to double-tap L2 to steal if I remember correctly. I'm not sure about the stealing but I am sure about the leadoffs.

DJ- Did you try my suggestion of double-tapping L1?

How long into an offline franchise season until stats appear on the ticker? I'm in mid-May and the only things that are shown are scores.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

Has anyone had issues with freezing in franchise? It's gotten so bad now that it's at the point that it's freezing at the loading screen. I'm really disappointed with this because this game never freezes in any other mode for me.

Any help???

20 games. Not sure why you're not seeing them. You are looking at the in-game ticker, right?

Yeah. I have the ticker on constantly and the only thing that gets rotated are game scores, nothing else.

Does using Classic Stadiums in Franchise mode affect finances?
Or.. Can Minor League Parks be used as alternate MLB Stadiums without affecting those teams revenue?

Re: MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

I know during franchise mode that budgets are altered based on success. Does the same thing occur in season mode? also do players progress and regress at the same rate in season and franchise mode (including regression at age 35). i ask this because i play season mode, so i can have 81 game seasons, and am hoping these franchise mode aspects are in season mode as well.

Edit: forgot to ask about the 40 man roster. considering in season mode there is no AAA or AA, and instead just a 40 man roster to control, do a lot of quality prospects end up getting released by the CPU in season mode because there is no room?
