    Re: Armor & Sword & Marino's MLB The Show 17 Timed/Classic Simulation All-Star Slider

    Well boys... it has arrived. I'm going to fire it up this weekend! I'm still knee deep in Madden at the moment, so it may be a bit before I get fully up and running.

    And thanks to everyone on answering my fielding question. That was the way I intended on going.

      @Raider_Ren

      Welcome to The Show Nation!

      I will be/have been streaming my fantasy Cardinals franchise that I carried over from 16.

      We are currently up 2-0 vs the Mets in the ALDS and defending our year 1 WS title.

      Stream will begin at 8:30 AM EST!

              Good question.

              Drop them to 5 when straight simming.

              I also just made a minor but important tweak to infield throwing errors. I moved them down to 7 from 10.

              OP has been updated to reflect latest slider set.

              So those that follow me on Twitch witnessed the heartbreaking end to The Matheny Manifesto Year 2. We ended up losing game 7 of the NLCS to the Atlanta Braves. This is the fantasy draft franchise I began on MLB 16. We won the World Series in year 1. We had a great second season (92-70 and NL Central Champs again) and swept the ALDS series from the Mets. Our pitching just collapsed in game 7.

              The Braves then went on to face the Indians and won the World Series in 7 games. So congratulations to them. They earned it.

              The off-season was not very active for the Red Birds other than Ender Inciarte being offered Arbitration. He is part of a log jam in our OF. Bryce Harper and Starling Marte are entrenched but 20 year old J.Herz has earned a starting gig in LF with his incredible second half to his second year in the bigs. He is a speedy top notch base stealing OF and (also great middle infielder as well). However there is a lot of talk of Herz moving to 2B to replace veteran Brock Holt and allow Holt to be a reserve player off the bench. This will open up a spring training competition between Inciarte and Byron Buxton. Ender was off to a raging start in April in year 2 but went down with a serious ACL injury to end his season in the first week of May. Before that injury he was leading the team in hitting. So he has a lot to prove and he wants a big contract.

              Some huge contracts expiring in year 3 include:

              Bryce Harper
              Mikael Franco
              Francisco Lindor
              Greg Bird
              Ender Inciarte
              Yordano Venture
              Carlos Rodon

              So The Red Birds window of opportunity is somewhat closing. They have some big decisions to make after year 3 in terms of who to keep, who to trade etc etc. The payroll now sits at just under 88MM. harper will command at least 20-25MM per season. And we will not let him walk. Lindor is also going to command a monster raise....he may be traded at some point and J.Herz can slide to SS and Yoan Moncada can take over 2B. That is a clear option. The Minor league system is not strong. We do need prospects. That is a possibility. I would hate to have to go there as I love Lindor. But everything depends on his contract demands. Also J.Herz has his contract expiring as well, but we have control of him for 3 more years. Lot's of big decisions to make in year 3 going into year 4. But I can say we are going for another Pennant and World Series title in year 3. This team was built to win.

              Year 3 will be played on MLB 18 and using the 18 schedule! Also being transferred to 18 will be The 2017 NY Yankees Year 2 using the 18 schedule. We had a big off-season and you can read about that in the Hot Stove post on page one of this thread.

              Year 3 of The Quest For Donny Baseball A 1987 Yankees Franchise will begin tomorrow with some spring training games will begin for this excellent classic team. We will play one and quick manage 5 so I expect to get through Year 3 within 3 months max maybe sooner so we can have our post season and off-season on MLB 17 and then transfer year 4 to MLB 18 and get the new schedule!

              Also I will sprinkle in a 1992 Braves Season Replay (play one sim 5).

              And of course we have a super cool Fictional Indians franchise (bacons V2 Fictional roster) and I will throw some of those games in as well (play one sim 5).

              The 2017 Yankees Year 2 will be a play every pitch, every inning again for 2018
              The Matheny Manifesto Year 3 will be a play one quick manage 5 for 2018

              Happy New year everyone.....The Show 17 is still alive and strong and looking forward to March 23rd. I will have the game that day but will be on a week long cruise the very next day. So our sliders will not be released for several weeks after release. We will get one full day with the new version and then have to wait a week before we play again.

              Look forward to chatting with some of you peeps on the twitch streams. Hope to see you there. We have a lot of fun on our MLB The Show broadcasts.

                Really wish sports games played to ratings!
                Only thing SIM about sports games now, are the team name and players
                CFB 25 The absolute GOAT!!!
                MLB 23 FOREVER 20 is better, 23 just for Guardians
                Madden get rid of the extras (SS/XF, HFA, media, scenarios, game plan) or turn them down considerably.

                  Armor, when you are simming are you using quick manage or just straight simming?

                              Not a baseball fan at all, but The Show is my favorite game hands down, bought on release, still playing. Not to many games that keep you interested 9-10 months after release, especially sport games

                              I buy Madden every year, by December im usually done

                                The Quest For Donny Baseball 1987 Yankees Franchise YR3 has begun their regular season and already in the month of April trade rumors are rampant around the Bombers.

                                SS/2B Julio Franco and OF Harold Baines are on the trading block and talks are heating up between The Texas Rangers and Yankees in an exchange for either OF Juan Gonzalez (24 years old) or 20 year old OF prospect Sammy Sosa.

                                Stay tuned!!
