MTO Thoughts

[gamingfranchise]

Lots to like about this mode this year. I have gone through 1 season. Last year a majority of games started in 6th inning...this year...way more variations. More player locks and minor league call up opportunities along with many games start in the 8th inning.

Things I'd like to see changed...when one of your players becomes a free agent and you sign them back they get that generated photo...hoped they would keep their picture Also, would be a nice addition to be able to change your uniforms as well.

Re: MTO Thoughts

Was waiting for someone to get through a full season to provide some thoughts on the off-season improvements. Would love to hear more of yours.

Also, is there any motivation to make trades at the trade deadline for next year versus going all out for the current season? Planning on playing with the long shot Reds and trying to win it all in year one just doesn’t seem as fun or realistic to me.

I was offered quite a few trades and didn't accept one. Mainly because I was the Nationals and they wanted some of my young talent. Going all in during the current season may kill you once free agency starts...can't be going over the cap and a nice addition when checking free agents out the players you cannot offered will have a notification on them. It's really well done. Also, not all the free agents you target will sign with you...a larger percentage never signed with me. I did have to make some tough decisions...I was aiming for a 2nd baseman and it took 3-4 weeks to get his interest up to 40%...it needs to be 50% to offer a contract. I didnt want to lose out on more players so I took him off my target list. Love that you can do multiple seasons with MTO!!

I’m having a blast in with MTO so far. This is likely my mode of choice this year.

Nice! I’m hoping when/if I’m out of contention at the deadline, there will be some offers from some contending teams to position me better for next year. Excited to jump in and find out. Glad feedback is positive so far!

Re: MTO Thoughts

Yea, looks like this is the mode I am going to play the most. I really like the new trade features that SDS showed in their Franchise/MTO video. I am excited to play MTO this year for sure!

Enjoy everyone!

Thought they said 3 in the stream but can’t remember for sure.

Re: MTO Thoughts

Love MTO as always just wish we could use custom rosters with it. Not a huge deal at this point in the season since the default rosters are pretty accurate but I feel like there's no replay value at the end of the year. I'd love to do a fantasy draft or be able to use an updated roster in January/February when im getting excited about the new baseball season. It's a great mode but this is really holding it back for me.

I understand the reason for it is that there are DD rewards tied to it but they need to at least give us the option to opt out. As it is now it feels like a glorified DD grind mode that DD players generally don't even really like because the payouts aren't that good.

100%. I can not agree with this more.

Re: MTO Thoughts

Does anyone know if you get reassigned a projected win total or category like “contender” after season one?

Re: MTO Thoughts

I keep asking this question and can’t seem to get an answer. Since it’s multiple season this year does that mean there is scouting and/or a draft as well?

Thanks!

Seems like an omission, but I guess if you’re only going 3 years deep it probably wouldn’t make that big of a difference.

I was hoping there isn't a cutoff at 3 years. If there is then I would think an option to continue MTO into a franchise would still exsist.
