MLB The Show 21 Franchise Discussion Thread

[Karle]

In my franchise my team does defensive shifts automatically. I know I can change it for each batter. My question is this.

Can I turn off automatic drfebsive shifts?

Also in MLB 20 one can hire and fire coaches. However, I have not found thatbpossibility in MLB 21. Does that still exist and if so where would I find it in MLB 21?

Thanks

Defensive shifts can be changed from Auto to Manual in the gameplay settings. And you can hire/fire coaches under "contracts" and then click "coaches".

The Oakland Athletics are moving to Las Vegas and being renamed to the Devils. The players on the team were released and signed to different clubs. For instance, Matt Chapman went to the Nationals, Matt Olson went to the Diamondbacks, and Sean Manea is with the Marlins. A couple minor leaguers stuck with the Devils; the major pieces were Robert Pauson and Tyler Soderstrom

The Devils will be playing their home games at Wagoman Stadium and will be opening up there against the Astros and Dodgers.

The Devils brought in two players in the Spring both game generated, CP Juan Alonso and 3B Tim Wendell. Juan Alonso is 22 with B Potential a game generated player. While Tim Wendell is 28 with B Potential has 80 contact verse Lefties brought him in to Platoon with Greg Garcia.

Love doing a home-made expansion draft! I did one last year where I did a dispersal draft 1st (Sent player out based on the regular amateur draft position), then used MLBTR's mock expansion draft list that they did last year (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...mII/edit#gid=0).

I wish they'd do again this year. Enjoy!

I used this as well last year, and combined it with using an expansion draft in OOTP
