S & B's Directional/Classic MLB 22 Sliders

[JG1986]

Hey guys long term lurker here. You might remember me from your 2020 thread and then I disappeared. Long story short I was playing MLBTS and we had a thunderstorm that knocked out the power and my entire PS4 crashed. I was devastated. I've never completed a season before but that year was the furthest I ever made it. I was like 10 games after the AS break. I couldn't get into MLB 21 but this year has got me hooked. I'm actually using one of your much earlier versions of sliders, but with tweaks to my own liking. I don't necessarily stat chase, but I love competition. I want that feeling no matter what I do, there are games I just won't win. So I'm 31-23 now, 3.5 games ahead of the Braves having an absolute ball. I've had two big losing streaks, two big winning streaks, high scoring games, low scoring games, and legit everything in between. It's been a stressful blast.

With that said, I don't want to screw up anything regarding roster stuff. I play as the Mets. I know the game of baseball like the back of my hand, but roster stuff I'm not the best at. Trevor May has been an absolute f*cking nightmare and I need him to go. I tried to sign a free agent but I get an error that says I can't afford it. Like it's the Mets hello Cohen money. Anyway, if I designate him for assignment and he leaves, do I retain his salary and I still won't be able to afford a new player. I was offering somebody a year for 1.5 million. I had not made any moves of any kind before that. So does that mean I have to do a trade in order to get somebody, or is there a way to increase my budget or something? Don't mean to hijack this thread, just have always loved your guys' thread better than everyone else's. Thanks!!

So I'm 5 innings into my first game vs the Orioles (I'm blue jays). .. Losing 8 4! 11 hits on my end 8 to the orioles. Only 1 hr so far. I gave up 7 in the third... Having a blast though!

Glad you are liking our sliders. With budgets on, there are a couple of teams that are in the red for budget. The Mets and Dodgers. Which is dumb that the game does that. There is no real life salary cap. Unfortunately, you are better off trading Trevor May to a team that would give you the cheapest player back in return to help your budget. And I am not sure if they would even let you trade if it’s not going to get you out of red. I hope it won’t say can not trade due to budget constraints.

There isn’t a way to increase your budget except for sponsors.

If you release May, it will tell you what you would have to pay for the penalty.

Let us know if you have any questions. I know Steve is using the Mets so I’m not sure how he’s handling it.

Is that on Allstar pitching? Crazy how going to Allstar with these changes makes the cpu more dangerous than HOF.

Well that is super lame and makes no sense to me lol. I guess I'll play around with my AAA and AA guys and see if I can get somebody else up. I've sent him down once for a while but it didn't help. He doesn't even have a snowflake. I just can't pitch with him so maybe I'll send him down for good. Thanks for the help!

How far are you in red on your budget?

I am 45-37 with the Mets currently and I had same problem with Trevor May lol. Early in the year Curtiss was injured and I brought up Joely Rodriguez. He has been so good for me, era under 2 good.

So when Curtiss came back I sent Trevor down instead with his 6.63era. Well just last night I brought him back and sent Curtiss down who has been awful since returning. He's over 6era now and giving up homeruns. Trevor had 13 appearances in AAA with a 3.48era in 10.1ip. Not great but figure I would give him another chance.

Chasen Shreve is on the IL now for me and I have Claudio up so I can still gave two lefties in the bullpen. He's been okay, but Joely has been lights out all year.

The off-season will be tough cause I assume we will have to cut payroll some. Idk if we can trade anyone or not but I hope so cause I need a power bat and another bullpen arm wouldn't hurt.
