Morale in franchise

[Mephiskapheles]

I’m the Nationals in franchise and all of my players are taking a huge hit because my generic manager is terrible. The morale is pretty even across the board except for manager. It’s causing everyone to drop 3 total points. Does anyone have any ideas on how to combat this since you can’t fire and hire managers?

Why can’t you fire and hire them? Money issue?

Are you sure they're not just upset that they have to play for the Nationals?

Can we turn Morale off all together? I'm playing for the Cubs and Bryant, Contreras, Baez, and Russell are taking a four point hit while Rizzo is taking a 5 point hit. This is all due to them being angry at their contracts. All of them, except Rizzo, are still in their arbitration years.

Apparently they’re also mad because of the region. Who knew it’s that important.

The morale drove me nuts in 17. Bryce Harper was angry because he wasn't used every day, but he was in my platoon lineup from the beginning. The morale is pretty silly. I tried to get the morale up, but it's useless. I never understood the region one either.

I don't find players play any better or worse with Morale anyway i never look at it much. as if not being a opening day pitcher makes a different to pitching 3 slot

This. Honestly, what’s 3 points of OVR worth? An extra hit a week? One less error per month? I basically just ignore ratings altogether and just look at performance.

My closer (Doolittle) took a 5 point hit on angry manager and contract from an 87 to an 82. Madson, my set up guy, stayed at an 84. That screws everything up, when I want to stay true to real world and keep my closer. 5 points total is a big hit. Also, the rating changes based on morale don’t show until you’re in-game. You can’t see the changes outside of it.

I don’t find a good reason to platoon Harper, but I do platoon Wieters and Montero. Who are you platooning this year?
