Armor & Sword/RaiderRen’s HOF Clean Screen MLB 23 Simulation Sliders (PS5)

[Burgess]

I’m playing exhibition games while I’m deciding whether or not to wait for (hopefully) a Mr. Met 2024 opening day roster.

Discovered that catcher near is my favourite batting camera and pitch speeds of 6/6 are plenty quick enough for my 60 year old eyes

Is it worth waiting for an opening day roster? Still plenty of big free agents out there. And guys like Miggy are still on Tigers roster and Urshela is still on the Angels roster.

Just a quick heads up, there is a dude that updates the rosters I believe almost hourly in the vault...I apologize I can't remember his name as I'm not on my console, but just search for a roster that has the most recent date and in the description it should say something along the lines of "updated hourly".

If I jump on the game here, I'll get the users name and edit this post.

**Okay as promised**
I just jumped into my game and looked in the vault, and the roster that I'm currently using is from TimWoodyONeil and the description reads Rosters as of 5:35pm Feb 23.

These were on page 3 in the vault (at least on my game, not sure if it will be different for you)

Also if you were interested, I stumbled across this one as well it's by a dude named Fate_Slugger with the description of updated 2024 free agency Feb 23.
More on his description, also says All offseason transactions.

I'm not sure how often that Fate_Slugger guy updates his roster, but TimWoodyONeil dude seems like he updates quite often, so depending on what you're looking for either of these might be a good option for ya..

Question on 30 team control and manual lineups/rotations:

If I set a CPU profile to manage the other 29 teams in the league and set the lineups/rotations to manual, will I need to go in and give guys days off when needed, or does the CPU still replace fatigued players as needed even when lineups are set to manual?

Thanks!

Thanks. But you can’t change a roster set once you start a franchise, correct?

Nope you sim those games and the cpu will make it own adjustments on a per game basis.

To piggy back on this…If you’re already using 30 team control you can go and manipulate lineups yourself if you want take that little extra time.

For example, I just started a series with Padres. I begin the process to start game 1 of the series and when I get to the team lineup screen I take a look at the players energy level on the CPU team. If there’s no way a player is going to be able to play, based on his energy, I will go into the CPU’s lineups and take that player out and set the lineup how I think they would in real life. By doing this you stop the CPU from making drastic lineup changes when subbing out the low energy player. You don’t want to see someone like Juan Soto batting 7th, that just personally kills the immersion for me.

Another thing I like to do is take star players and put them at DH for one game if their energy drops below 50. This guarantees they won’t miss any games in the series against you.

I also take these same ideas and use them when manipulating the CPU’s bullpen. I hate seeing the same “Long Reliever” pitch three straight games in a series. This can easily be remedied by just moving around the CPU bullpen pieces after each game of a series. If someone just pitched a lot last game I will always put them in the 4th middle reliever spot, almost guaranteeing he won’t pitch next game. While putting a pitcher in the first long relief spot will almost guarantee that they WILL pitch in the next game. I know this adds a little time to each game but it ups the immersion for me like few things do in this game. Just don’t forget to set their lineup and bullpen back to normal after the series is over.

Jesus. I haven’t had the iOS app since I got a new phone and it won’t download. Haven’t visited here in a long time. Never thought I’d see the day for these sliders lol. Hopefully you get MLB24!!
Hope all is well Armor.

Correct, once you decide on which roster you want and start your franchise you are in your own world to do as you please.

So I would say if roster accuracy is your thing (and it's completely understandable) you might want to wait till closer to the start of the season.
