MLB 16 Franchise Progression/Regression Thread

[newmich]

So after year 3 there are a few things already catching my eye. The 3rd year only had 4 batters with an average above .300, 1 above .310 which was a .312. Another thing that is catching my eye is the retirees. So far there have been 15 players retire due to injury (4 year 1, 4 year 2, and 7 in year 4). One last notable is the caliber of some players retiring, for example year 3 saw I. Kinsler 35 years old 86 Ovr, Fister 34 years old 87 Ovr, Y. Molina 35 years old 82 Ovr, and Wainwright 36 years old 84 Ovr.

Again this is just a glimpse of what is going on and things could change in the next 7 seasons. Also I would like to add that I did turn scouting on for this. I understand that drastically affects the ratings of prospect, but this will give us a good comparison to how well the new scouting system is/isn't implemented in MLB 16.

So in year 4 I just had something weird happen for the first time. I was simming in September and I got the notification that I had an important message. I said no to stop simming and a few days later I got the notification again. This time I stopped to see what it was.......the Nationals placed Harper on the waiver wire! I tried to claim him think it was a revocable waiver and unfortunately I got him since it was an outright waiver.

So four years through and already we are seeing franchise rear it's ugly head. Seeing that I have never had that happen before I am hoping it is just some weird quirk but I am obviously going to be keeping an eye on that now as well.

Super disappointed to hear this...

Was planning on focusing on franchise this year. I alternate from year to year between Rtts and Franchise. 15 was Rtts year, and this year I was super excited for franchise...seems I'll have to wait for a patch.

Yup I am just testing 15 right now so no need to worry I am 5 seasons done so far and will keep posting things I find notable as I get through to year 10. I did notice that Matt Harvey went from a 94 to an 88 overall from the ages of 29 to 30 and Syndegard (sorry for the spelling, I'm not at my tv) also dropped off in year 5. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I just figured I'd let you guys know so you can post your thoughts.

Well high fiving myself for overreacting. That sure is a relief!

Hey OS community,

I apologize for the delay since I last updated you guys on this experiment. Between working on my car stereo, having the girl over, watching the Badgers epically choke, and homework I haven't given myself much time to work on this haha. I might be able to finish simming everything tonight after work otherwise assuming I don't work on Monday I should have everything done before MLB 16 comes out at 12ET.

Thank you for your patience and have a wonderful Easter everyone!!!!

Hopefully 16 finds the middle ground with pitchers and hitters. In 14 most threw low to mid 80's and everyone hit over .300, in 15 most threw mid to high 90's and everyone barely reached .300.
