Awesome stuff. I am also going to comb thru them for equipment edits and as well as ratings.

It’s great BostonRob worked this to give us a roster to work off of to taylor to our own tastes!!

MLB 20 forever.

Armor do you want to somehow pool together resources? Not sure how we would but open to ideas

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

Maybe keep them at 9/9 and adjust your timing slider? I think I have mine at 6 just to compensate for my old eyes.
Just finished my first game with pitch speeds at 9/9 and was pleasantly surprised with myself. In a game using Bacon’s fictional rosters I beat the Mariners as the Royals 4-2. I didn’t hit the cover off the ball but I did have 10 hits (9 singles and 1 double) including a few bloopers and slow rollers that just snuck through the infield. Definitely need some work on recognizing pitches but I feel in time it will only get better. One thing I really like about higher pitch speeds is actually feeling the difference between a low 90mph fastball vs. a 97-100mph fastball. I use fisheye 2 batting cam but I may try some others to see if it helps.

Not a bad suggestion, but personally I don’t like moving away from Armour’s exact sliders with the possible exception of pitch speed (leads to a very BAD case of slider-iris). Normally I’m either at the same pitch speed, or one notch higher than Armour, but I can’t seem to handle pitch speeds at 10 like he and others can (but I think I’m 7 years older than him)

Even at 9 it almost seemed lucky if I did get a hit, as I was practically swinging at almost every pitch. I was usually late on fastballs in the mid-90’s even in fastball counts and I was geared up for it. I could rarely put a few hits together or score multiple runs in an inning. And that’s not realistic either

With the pitch speeds at 8, I can still get blown away by 93+ fastballs if I’m not ready for it, but I can also pull them, and can generate some offence as well. I scored 4 runs in an inning on a single, walk, double and a Schwarber homerun. I can still strikeout too much, but I think that will correct itself with a bit more practice.

So congrats to those who can get realistic results on 10, but I simply can’t - at least not yet. But I’m very satisfied with the results and challenge I’m getting with them at 8 - so that’s where they will be when I start my franchises this weekend (c’mon BostonRob!!)

Armour, what will the final roster set be named once it’s in the vault?

Thanks

So I think I’ve settled on 9/8 for pitch speeds. I was just too late on breaking pitches in the zone that I feel I should have made better contact with. 9/8 played great.

And that’s with timing at 6, correct? I was actually thinking of trying 8/7 (timing staying at 5 as per Armour’s sliders) the next time I play to see how that plays.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the challenge of hitting a baseball and those tight, close games. But I also want the opportunity to “explode” occasionally and have those innings where 10 guys come to the plate and I score 7 runs. It’s already happened 2 or 3 times IRL this season. I had a few of those with the sliders at 6/5. I know I won’t have any of those with these sliders at 9 or 10. So maybe putting my sliders at 8/7 will hopefully be my sweet spot of the challenge I’m wanting but with the possibility of some high-scoring games as well.

I’ll let you know how my next game goes.

Yes, timing at 6. But I may drop that back to 5. I had one of those rallies you mentioned in my last game. First 6 batters reached base and 10 batted in the inning scoring 6 runs. Nothing felt cheap or out of whack and I hit 2 solid doubles into the gap in left center. Feels great getting a solid hit with pitch speed that high. I also hit 3 homers in the game and won 8-5. One was a 461 foot bomb to right. Sat on a fastball in a 3-1 count and turned on it and crushed it. It was glorious.

Lol, I’m jealous! I’m about to test 8/7 against Alcantara of the Marlins with my Phillies. Alcantara is 93-rated and his fastball is consistently between 97-100, so I expect to be blown away by the high heat and swing late quite often. Other factors that I also need to consider that doesn’t make things any easier is that the game starts at 4:10. If it is sunny it is a really bad backdrop to hit with. I can barely see him because of the shadows. So I expect a low hit/run total in this one with plenty of strikeouts. My strategy is going to try to be to work the counts to try to get his pitch count up, hoping to get him out of the game after 6 innings. But if I can do reasonably well I think 8/7 is what I will go with to start my franchise.

Wow! Trea Turner just led off the game with a 384-foot homer. After being very late on a 100 mph heater, he got a hanging slider on a 2-2 count and pulled it over the left field wall

God I love this game!!

A little progress update here. AL East has been finished. Added a couple prospects and rerated a majority of players. Most adjustments stayed within a couple points of their overall in original BR roster, and a lot of the adjustments were potential (Lot of guys that were C and D that should've been maybe B, Some A's and B's knocked down to C.

Biggest Rerates:

John Means – 88 to 81
Garrett Whitlock – 93 to 78
Bobby Dalbec – 64 to 74
Wandy Peralta – 85 to 67
Shane McClanahan – 86 to 95
Erik Swanson – 90 to 79
Tim Mayza – 82 to 72
Vladdy Jr – 93 to 87

I’m confused. Is this BostonRob’s roster update for the final version, or is this a different roster?

I took Bob's 1.5 version and am updating myself and rerating certain players. From what I understand Boston Rob final update will only have corrected 40 mans, but I'd rather have players rated the way I think they should be (and add in a couple of the big prospects) and correct the 40 myself on backend

I was able to play most of the night. I simmed the half inning when I was in the field and just hit.

Long story short I think I’m pretty comfortable starting my franchises with pitch speeds at 9/8 (timing at 5)

My favourite hit was sitting on a first pitch fastball and pulling a 99 mph fastball for a 427-foot homer. You are right - it is glorious!!
