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

Burgess you can completely ignore sponsorships for all 30 teams if you do not want to handle it. The CPU does not handle sponsors at all. You would have to assign them for each team (which is really easy BTW and I simply decided based on market size if they got silver, gold, diamond etc) SO teams like the NYY, Mets, Red Sox, Cubs, Dodgers etc....big market and well supported teams would get at least two diamond sponsors and a gold.

The other extreme was a small market teams or “money ball" like the Rays, A’s, Marlins who are penny pinchers, get two silvers and one gold.

So Idid my own “competitive revenue” sharing technique using the sponsors. The cool thing is all my sponsors from MLBTS17 have been carried forward each year....as I acquired new sponsors that could replace what I had in place I have used them. SO far on 20 I am very early in the “collection phase” of sponsorships so nothing has been replaced.

In my new franchises (Fictional Twins and Miami Marlins) I have not assigned sponsors to any teams yet because I simply do not have the inventory yet. I probably ill have all I need to do my market size/team budget method by June/July.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for you explanation Armour. I think I will leave them alone then. I’m old - I just want to play!!!

Great sliders again this year, thanks. I did increase pitch speed to 9/8 and moved the starting pitching slider to 6 for both human and cpu. A Cards starter was no hitting me through 4 innings and was pulled as he was at 73 pitches - just didn’t seem right

As I have been playing....and playing...and playing starter stamina may be going to 6 very soon. Starting to see that as well sometimes (not always but here and there).

On my classic roster set it is set to 7 and hook is taken down to 3. Back in the 60’s, 70’s. 80’ and 90’s you simply saw guys that were horses and managers who let them go for a lot longer compared to what we have seen evolve the past 20 years. Which is...starters are 5 and fly for the most part unless you have a stud. 3 4 and 5 starters have much shorter leash’s than yesteryear.

I loved Bob Gibson’s mentality - if I’m starting it I’m damn well finishing it! His stamina rating would have to be 100+!!!

So you're seeing that on occasion too? Interesting indeed.....

I was actually about to bring this up as well, through 4 innings my guys are gassed (usually around 60-70 pitches, using the Marlins) they run out of energy by the 5th inning.

Not surprised. I am playing with the Marlins too and they don’t have the best stamina ratings. Also you gotta be careful to not use max effort a lot. Also high stress innings will take their toll (17-25 pitch innings).

The other 'elephant in the room' is that SP stamina ratings do tend to drop a bit over the course of a franchise. Now, as we all tend to play every game, this takes a long while to rear its head....but it would also help mitigate that a tad.

I have my stamina on 8 right now. Clevinger is an 85 stamina and can’t even make it to 100 pitches still, even with stamina on 8. Francona will let his starters go 120+ pitches sometimes. Bauer, kluber for example have done that IRL multiple times. I feel like on this game that’s not possible, even with sliders.

This COULD change this year also, with the new rules regarding relievers. Starters MAY be required to go a bit longer.

Just food for thought..

Trent Thorton gets the call up as Tanner Roark goes down with a injury that will see him miss the next 4-6 weeks . And Trent Thorton made a serious statement in his 1st call up of the season , he wants that spot in the rotation and he might just get it if he can perform like this on the regular . Man i just love it when u call up a player and dont expect much from them but they surprise you like this .
Finally im enjoying this game and can play my franchise after 100+ games of testing , getting great results and variety and i am done messing with sliders and testing . Im ready to enjoy this and just go with it and not overthink every little thing . Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox , anyone wants a watch hope you enjoy .

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

Just wondering if I am missing something or it was just a fluke but I noticed after warming up a pitcher in the bullpen until his bar was fully red that when I brought him in and started throwing his warmup pitches that the circle stating whether he was hot or cold , was cold as though I never warmed him up. Anyone else seen this? I ask because I just noticed it but have been struggling big time as the Pirates as far as relief pitching and wondered if this was one reason why

Well I'm 50 games into my Braves franchise and I'm actually loving the way the pitching feels with my stamina at 5. Most games I'm getting 6-8 innings from my starters. Also the same for the cpu.

The one thing you have to pay attention to is if your starter isnt at full stamina at the beginning of the game you shouldn't expect him to go more than 6 and he will start getting tired in the 5th. That's pretty realistic to me. You dont see many guys going back to back 90 to 100 pitch outings anymore.

But with full stamina before the game I'm getting 85-100 pitches easier. And also remember when it says he is getting tired he still has about another 15 to 20 pitches.

I've never seen this exact thing, but there's a legacy (talking many, many years here) bug where the result is something similar. Sometimes (but not always) bringing in a new pitcher directly from the "quick menu" causes the pitcher to come in with a chunk of his stamina gone and confidence lower than normal. Sometimes the "schedule to pitch" option on the bullpen screen does the same thing. Anytime I see this, the warmup bar/circle does show as "ready" and not "cold" - but this sounds too similar to just brush off.

The way to keep the bug I'm talking about from happening is to always access the bullpen screen when you change pitchers - don't do it straight from the quick menu. And the change needs to be immediate from that screen - not the delayed "schedule to pitch" option, in other words.

I don't know if this and the thing you mentioned are the same, but I just wanted to give a heads up on the known bug.

Yeah that is what I have sen for the most part. But I have been seeing guys sometimes getting pulled a tad early due to fatigue not performance. So I am goin to keep an eye on it and keep playing a little more. But this is great feedback Vince.
