Re: MLB The Show 18 Franchise Discussion Thread

We got the new year started (2019) with a 2-0 win over the Padres. It wasn't pretty, but thanks to solo homers by Randal Grichuk and Magnerius Sierra, and dominant pitching by Wacha, Britton, and Rosenthal, we were able to notch our first win of the season.

MacKenzie Gore lit us up for the Padres only allowing 3 hits while striking out 7. His lone earned run was a wall scraper homerun by Grichuk in the 2nd.

The combination of Britton in the 8th and Rosenthal in the 9th is going to prove brutal I think for opposing clubs. Really like our bullpen.

Next up is game 2 with Carlos Martinez squaring off against Robbie Erlin.

Baseball is back!!!

Re: MLB The Show 18 Franchise Discussion Thread

Have run 4 test simulations so far in order to see how the ratings play out over a season. I think it's very accurate so far. One concern I had was Didi's power being too low after hitting 11 and 12 home runs the first two, but he's hit 20 and 21 the last two so I think he's ok.

Yankees final record in each of the 4 has been:

97-65 (1st place)
101-61 (1st place)
102-60 (1st place)
100-62 (1st place)

Judge won MVP in 1st and 4th and Stanton won MVP in 2nd and 3rd.. not even kidding

Gary Sanchez won Gold Glove in all 4, Gardner also won 1, and Drury 1
Chapman 2 reliever of year awards
Severino 1 Cy Young

Not looking too bad.. pretty pumped. Will fire it up for real once OSFM drops!

Re: MLB The Show 18 Franchise Discussion Thread

Anyone else got a......wierd bug in Franchise mode. Just ran my first, first year player draft in 18 and, actually did very well. Despite picking way down, thanks to a couple of supplemental picks, I was able to recruit 6 players all with 85+ potential, 3 with 90+. Happy days. However, when I look at the players they ALL appear to be clones. All of them have dreds and beards, they are all 6'4, 210lbs!!!

Re: MLB The Show 18 Franchise Discussion Thread

I can't wait for OSFM to drop so I can finally start my Yankees Franchise. The wait is getting really, really difficult. I'm really enjoying my RTTS and I started a test Franchise with the Rockies which has been cool, but I miss my Bronx Bombers!

As I always do, I start my Franchise off the same way the real season starts off (and then let it play out naturally from there) , so unfortunately I'll be missing Bird for the first two months. I'm just going to give Tyler Austin a shot and have Andujar playing 1B in AAA in case Austin is awful.
