I haven't stolen a single base and I have Crawford and BJ Upton. I know I'll more than likely get thrown out, so I don't bother. Those are some good trades, as well.

Yeah I lead the league in SB and caught stealing I have like 55 SB and like 45 CS.

Re: MLB 2K10 Franchise Progress

I decided to try with Crawford and got my first SB of the season. Helps that it was on a wild pitch too, lol.

Re: MLB 2K10 Franchise Progress

Hey everyone, this is my first post on OS and in this thread. I was inspired to go out and buy this game and start my franchise to share with you guys

I decided to play a game using the "play ball" option. I am the Yankees (not a fan, just using them )

I'm using mkharshs33 classic hitting slider, I might tweak it later.

I got two base hits off Halladay in the 3rd...he walked me again, but I had two outs, and he was able to get out of the jam. I am not too good at hitting, I will have to work on that.

Hallday unraveled after 3 solid innings of pitching. He walked bases loaded in the forth and walked me again to give me a run. I drove in a run with Jeter, and it was a tied game at 2-2. Halladay then walked me AGAIN, and Jose Contreras was brought into relieve him. I guess I do have patience at the plate

Bases loaded, 2 outs and A-Rod comes up to bat. Contreras would catch me looking. Sabathia would allow a homer in the 5th, but I decided to keep him in as he still had a few more pitches in him. I would pull in Rivera at the 9th, just to be safe. Well, he would allow a run in the ninth. I REALLY dislike pitching w/ him.

Lidge came in at the bottom of the ninth... He would retire Jeter, Granderson and Teixeira...

Phillies win it 4-3.

Keep em coming guys, I love reading this stuff!

Re: MLB 2K10 Franchise Progress

I dont normally steal unless the pitcher takes awhile to get to the plate from the stretch.

Anyway, I have a fantasy Royals franchise that I do as well:

Currently 28-16 towards the end of May.. on a 5 game losing streak right now which stinks (I both play and sim my games). So far the stars of my team:

C Joe Mauer - .336, 6 HRs, 26 RBIs. Seems to get a hit every at bat almost.
1B Kendry Morales - .350, 14 HR, 40 RBI. Even better than Mauer. Great hitter.
DH Ken Griffey Jr. - .276, 9 HR, 30 RBI. Griffey has been a big surprise, every single one of his homeruns has been huge for me.
SS Ryan Roberts - .314, 4 HR, 14 RBI. Hitting over .300, pretty good for a relatively unknown SS.

Disappointing players:

RF Garrett Jones - .238, 5 HR, 22 RBI - Not hitting enough, and I expected more homeruns from him. I tend to strike out alot with him as well.
LF Nolan Reimold - .237, 5 HR, 18 RBI - Again, same thing with Garrett. Not hitting enough.

I actually ended up trading Reimold with another player to the Mariners for Carlos Gonzalez, just because I love Gonzo.

My pitching is pretty good. My rotation is as follows:

Jon Lester
Jered Weaver (I actually dont like pitching with him)
Johnny Cueto
Randy Wells
Ryan Rowland-Smith

My Bullpen, which is the best part of my team imo:

CL Carlos Marmol
SU Matt Thorton
MR Daniel Bard
MR Alfredo Aceves
MR Ramon Ramirez
LR Brandon League (his pitches are all amazing and rated really high, yet hes only a 72, its weird).

Is that because it literally takes 5 seconds to come set with him. LOL

Re: MLB 2K10 Franchise Progress

Just lost a game 4-2 even though I stole home legit for the 1st time.

I drew first blood. Cameron singled stole 2nd stole 3rd and with Ellsbury up and 2 outs I tried to get a 0-1 pitch down as a squeeze play. Well he missed the bunt and the catcher went to block the plate Cameron actually kicked the ball out of his glove. I was amazed. I knew you could barrel the catcher over a knock the ball loose but he actually kicked it out of the glove. I would go on to give up the lead and the game stranding runners on the corners to end the game.

Re: MLB 2K10 Franchise Progress

I would try and buy, 8 GB isn't impossible to overcome but some new pieces might be able to help.

On a side note, does anyone know if you can switch teams during a franchise? Similar to NBA 2k10.

Thanks for your input, I don't think you can switch teams completely during a franchise, however you can play any game on the schedule you want. Just go to MLB.com, and at the bottom of the screen when you click on a game, you can play it.

I'm in last week of July now facing the Mets. Have about 5 days left to the deadline. The Cubs refuse to lose (60-39), with the 2nd best record in MLB, so I've now fallen 9 1/2 behind (in 3rd place), I'm about 6 GB WildCard.

I know! I gave up a few hits because of that

Anyways...still trying to get this game down. I chose a Franchise with the A's to try and get a grasp of it.. 0-2 in cactus league ATM.

I don't like hitting against him, he steps way to the side and his whole motion just throws me off. I paid attention to him last night on tv against my Tigers and they got his motion down perfect in the game, though.

Re: MLB 2K10 Franchise Progress

Speaking of pitching, hitting against sidearm pitchers PISSES ME OFF. I hate them.

Longoria isn't even in the AL MVP discussion, despite hitting .350 with 15 HR and 30 RBI and being top-5 in the league in hits.

It takes me an inning or two to get used to them but once I do its easy to hit them.

Re: MLB 2K10 Franchise Progress

19-22 now with my tigers. I was 18-18 after a 7-15 start. went 12-3 and now have lost 3 in a row. only playing a 104 game season I made a move early. I traded a AAA and AA player to Colorado for John Smoltz. I am still looking for a set up pitcher. I want to trade for Peralta but, the Indians are in first place in my franchise and I don't know if that trade would happen in real life.

Are you using Smoltz as a starter or LR. I use him as a LR and he's been doing great for me.

I am using him as a starter. As for the Peralta trade I know it happened in real life but, in my franchise the Indians are in 1st place and Peralta is hitting .317 with 10 HR's I dont know if they would trade him in that situation.
