Manage Mode (MoM)

Re: Manage Mode (MoM)

How is the contact working at 6?

Ive shelved the game. Have gotten into F1 as of late. But, the change to 6 and the umpire change was working out nice. Saw a lot more hits, SO went down a nice touch and BB went up a nice tick.

Last I played, I was at the end of May. I'll jump back to it eventually. Just not as excited to play MLBTS as I use to be.

That is good to hear, the offense was really bad. I knew no matter who I put in I would shut em down. Also my MoM team was batting .181 and you are spot on about the Ks too high(I was getting 11.5) and walks too low (I was getting 2.1) All this leads to not enough baserunners and low scores. I will give it a shot thanks

Side note: When I first got the game I had ran 237 games MoM or CvsC. Numbers were great but I could not get over the high walks (4.25) led to just too many baserunners and a little above average runs (4.80). I decided not to DL any patch because I was happy for awhile other then the walks. I decided like you to shelve it for a little while and was gonna start fresh and updated all the patches. That is when the anemic offenses reared its head.

So for those that say nothing changed when they released the patch to improve pitching ( I think it was #2 or #3) it 100% effected the offenses of the AI in offline Franchise MoM mode. Way more Ks happened and not many baserunners.

My team ba last I remember was .256 and team era 2.89. Going off memory. I havent played since the last patch, and I dont remember if 1.11 (I think it was) was out yet. Its only been since 6/24 so maybe 1.11 was out.

My win record is a little higher then I thought it should be, but seeing decent strikeouts per side with walks being 4 to 6 per sideish. IMO it was the check appeal for strike 3 that I think raised it. The reason behind the umpire change. Moving to 6 contact opened up hitting. Still have some low scoring games with 6 to 10+ hits, but you get some nice rallies and also get rallied by the oppo. It had a nicer balance I thought. I just already was fed up with the game though at that point. When online, trinkets, broken buildings, and aliens take precedent over making a better game, its just time to hang it up.

Ya, I invested in a whole race sim set up and have really been getting into that. F1 23 is cool. Has some flaws like other games, but it is great. Its all the same though. Sports games catering to online and tinkets instead of more in depth modes.

Just tried to get 2 games in. Shut it off 2 innings into second game. Just can't. This series has lost its luster. I even uninstalled it. That's how done I am with mlbts

Nothing. The game is perfect of course Havent you seen the main page. This game is perfect. Not one thing wrong with it.

Really though, for me the lack of attention to franchise and MoM. Tired of 10 games of 2-1 baseball, and then game 11 to be 11-13 (as example) with 7 HR's, high 50's total hits. I started calling these games "Stats games". 10 games of total 2 or 3 HR's and 11th having a HR derby feel with 6 to 8 homeruns....... which now keeps "stats" at just +/- 1 per game. Just as an example. Despite what the MLBTS rah rah says, manage mode DOES NOT play to ratings. It plays to programming. It doesnt matter what players you field. Just lost the love of playing it. Sure, I could actually play the franchise, but still, wont be to ratings. It would be how I controlled playing. Ya, they added some draft things and minor here and theres, but HEY, we have Dinos and broken buildings and aliens. woohoo
Its just not fun to play anymore. Outside of franchise, Im not interested in any other part of MLBTS. RTTS, my ballplayer, DD, none of that crap...... well its just crap to me.

"Game plays to ratings" the second biggest joke about this game

Players don't matter, contracts don't matter, building a team is laughable because none of it matters.

It does to an extent. I've played about 4 seasons now with my HOF CPUvCPU sliders and it matters to an extent. But you are also partially right. I've had guys with 50 power hit 25 home runs but my 99 power switch hitting 3B struggled to have an OPS above 600 and BARELY hit 20 home runs. I've had ace pitchers struggle and 19 year old rookies pitch like Prime Randy. I love the RNG of it sort of like real baseball because you can't predict success or failure. BUT I do understand the frustration when there should be a baseline of consistency with certain players. Like I expect Bryce Harper or Judge to hit AT LEAST 30 Home Runs and not struggle to hit 10.
