Yeah... great job removing Y2Y saves SDS.

We will have to wait for the first roster update (that isn't the launch update) to see if they add players like Kim, Sawamura, Arihara, etc, and to see whether or not they put in face scans for minor leaguers like Torkelson, etc once they can be put in the game (if they even get put in the game at all, yet to see if minor leaguers will really be updated or if what we get this year is what we get).

Minor league seasons don't start until next month.

While roster makers can get to work on these guys, historically, haven't we always used the SDS version of players once possible? In general, I expect franchise to be entirely unplayable until next month, which is a big shame.

Thank god they at least partnered with Ridin to make it a "little" easier on the roster makers ends, as they may only have to do 20% of the work, instead of 100% of the work from scratch.

I'm gonna do a fantasy draft but as I was playing around with it (XB noob although 1-0 in ranked season and forced a rage quit after a big comeback in the 7th and 8th lol) and I can't seem to find a way to save my fantasy draft part way through and it's gonna take a while.

Is there really no way to save partway through a fantasy draft? Even an autosave feature???

Kwatcha was the name of the rage quitter by the way. Wakanda Earthquake was the team. He was beating me 2-0 until the 7th. I was taking my initiation like a champ!

I have my old franchise on standby just in case.

I need to update my original post. I couldn't do it. I was about to start the game against the Nationals and was thinking how it will be different managing with a DH full time versus making decisions based on pitcher in lineup, and I wasn't ready to give up the pitcher hitting and that strategy.

So I'm playing with traditional DH rules

Yeah, I played a season last year with the DH on. Then started another season with it off and I remembered how fun it was. And it helps the AI with bullpen usage. It seems like the AI would barely pinch hit in the AL.

CB, what roster are you going with?

I thought about going with the universal DH but think I'm going traditional as well when I get to that point.

I'll be interested in they there doing in the independent league where you get a DH until the starter is removed from the game and then thr pitcher spot has to hit thereafter

I do my own roster. I downloaded the latest roster update, made my updates and I’m off and running
