Team Tendencies

I really think one major area that The Show has been missing out on for a long time now is having team/manager tendencies in the game to where it is accurately reflected in the simulation results. For example, there should be sliders or something that you can set up for each team/manager for things like stolen bases, taking the extra base, sac bunts, starting pitcher leash, bullpen usage, ect. That would add a much needed level of realism to the game. We all know that some teams are more aggressive on the bases than others and there should be a way to reflect that in the game.

I think this would go alot further than the current arbitrary +/- points for some categories. Though without as many moving parts as some of the other games that need more team oriented tendencies and schemes, I still think there can be improvement in the experience with things like platoon preference, bunting/stealing preference, quick hook, defensive shifts (thresholds?), etc.

Yeah. It'd be nice to have a system in place where the simulation stats more accurately reflect the team or manager. It would be most useful for handling of the pitching staff IMO.

Re: Team Tendencies

I wish there were team tendencies when it came to off season and just overall roster management. A few years into a Braves franchise, I noticed the Yankees roster looked like a Rays roster. Nothing but no names. In four years. Dodgers, Yankees, Sox. They should act in game as they do in real life as far as wheeling and dealing. Spending money.

The Red Sox did that to an extreme level in my Phillies franchise.

They went out and traded for George Springer, Carlos Martinez, and an All-Star reliever(forgot his name). All in one God damn season.

That seems to be an issue that The Show has had for years now. The big money teams become like the small market teams and the small market teams throw around FA money like the big money teams.
