Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

Is the only way to see a minor league player’s stats is via the lineup tab in franchise mode?

When going to the roster tab and selecting a player to look at his stats (by hitting triangle and R1 over to stats), nothing is recorded (0 games, 0 ABs, etc).

But under the “lineups” tab, stats are there in the top left portion of the screen next to the player’s ratings colored chart.

Just found this interesting and wondered if anyone else is experiencing this?

If I remember correct, while you’re at your franchise home screen you can toggle your right analog stick until you get to the minor league team you want, you’ll see the team
change from your MLB team, AAA team and AA team in the bottom right hand corner. Then go to wear it says “player stats” and they should be there.

Hopefully that was correct be clear on my end since I’m not on my console!

Played 2 games so far with V4 sliders and the first game Matz gave up 8 earned but did that in 2 innings, the othe 4 he pitched were flawless and Porcello last night had a CG giving up 2 on 9 hits and 8 K's. Looking good. the rotation turns over to Degrom ,and Syndergard so hopefully i can string some wins together

Slider Update Version 4.0 as of 5/10/2020

What has changed:


HUM/CPU Power to 4
HUM CONTROL to 6
CPU Manager Hook to 4 (click back to 5 once CPU goes to the bullpen)

I'm glad to see you made these subtle changes. I've been considering these for a while now. I'm going to go ahead and make the move. The bats are just a little hot for both me and CPU and good pitchers are just a little underpowered. I never like to make drastic changes and I'm always pretty close to your sliders each year.

There was some discussion a couple of weeks (?) ago about bullpens, with regard to pitchers losing stamina too quickly if warmed up a "certain way"?

Could someone please advise?

**Disclaimer**I did search for it, but after a few pages I got tired of looking, lol.

Big blow in my Phillies Franchise. I lost Andrew McCutchen for 2-3 months with a broken shin suffered during a play at the plate.

Nick Williams has been called up from Triple-A to take his roster spot. Roman Quinn now moves into everyday center field duties with Adam Haseley moving from center field to left field.

I could use Jay Bruce in LF everyday but I love him in his bench/spot start role. Bruce is a major weapon for me. I also don't want to risk him getting injured by playing him everyday. If I end up needing to I will.

Yes. That was a major goal in moving control up to 6 in combination with consistency on 6 already. Really good pitchers now have better command of their “out” pitches. 2nd and third pitches are more effective now and don’t hang as often out over the plate.



This subtle change has really enhanced the pitching aspect of the game. I can also tell you the CPU is not neutered at all. They will still mash, you will still get rocked and still feel intimidated by elite hitters.

Armored What are the pitch speed settings your playing with right now??

Use the pause menu to get to the bullpen instead of pressing up on the D pad to access the bullpen and you should be good to go

Ok excellent. So doesn’t matter if I stretch and toss, warm up, etc (as far as “glitching” stamina)?

I just have to go via pause menu? That’s not too bad.

When I go to actually bring them in, can I use d-pad? Or do I need to use pause menu for this also?

You can go to the bullpen screen from the d-pad quick menu, just don't bring the pitcher in directly from the quick menu.

Also, the schedule to pitch option can cause this sometimes too. Just make all of your changes directly from that bullpen screen and you'll be fine.

Wow good to know.

I have been using the D-pad menu forever. Stretch and toss, warm up and ready and waiting and put it.

I stopped using the schedule to pitch because of the stamina issue.

So to recap. Pause the game and use that bullpen screen instead for everything including schedule to pitch?

If so....awesome.

Yeah man, that is how I understood it to work. Actually PERFORM the changes via pause menu.

You don't necessarily have to pause the game (i'm assuming you mean with the Options button) - though that's usually what I do outside of times where that can be an issue in online play (see below - it's irrelevant to offline play so I'm separating it). You can still D-pad up for the quick menu and select bullpen, be taken to the bullpen screen, and make your substitution like that - that's up to you and it doesn't matter how you get to that screen - only that you do make the change from there. The bug is very specific to changes made outside of that screen - which unfortunately includes "Schedule to Pitch" because the actual substitution is made away from that screen in-between innings. I don't have any issues with double switches either, though that one's tough to explain since it's a mix of the bullpen and position player screen - maybe it's because the pitcher sub is still locked in on the bullpen screen regardless? I dunno. Whatever the reason, it still gives me the correct energy on those when a pitcher comes in.

About the Options button online....since that pauses the game for both players, it's possible that someone can use the friendly quit option while you're menuing and if you hit a button at the wrong time, you'll accept the quit and the game won't count. I unfortunately know that from experience, and I'm not even sure the other person did it on purpose (though I'll never know). Anyway, the D-pad quick menu only gives the person who paused options, so it's safer to use online. So in those cases I'll D-pad up and go to the bullpen screen from the quick menu.

Rambled a bit, but I hope that made some sense. It's such a weird bug, and I think the fact that it's not 100% guaranteed to happen even when you sub with the quick menu is why it has been a thing for many years without being patched. All I know is how to prevent it, not fix it.

What happens to stamina if you use the D-pad? I've always used the D-pad and just never noticed any issue I guess.

Bringing a fully warm pitcher in directly from this screen will sometimes (not always) cause them to come in with a chunk of their energy gone and confidence lower than normal. Basically, it's as though you brought them in cold, without a warmup.


(ignore the fact that it's the 2nd inning, I just took a quickie screenshot because I figured it was easier to show than explain)

To avoid it, either use the "Bullpen" option on this screen or pause the game to select "Manager" and access the bullpen screen from there. In short, make all of your pitching changes from the screen where you can see the actual pitcher warming up (not just their bar). Also, don't use "Schedule to pitch" - it can cause the same bug.

There's something in the coding about being outside of that screen that causes the game to think the pitcher isn't warmed up properly - at least that's my theory.
