    Accurate Minor League Options

    Might anyone know, or have any insight, as to why the minor league options don't reflect the real life counterparts?

    It seems as though 95% of the league has all 3 options available at the beginning of the 2022 season.

        I mean, I’m not sure what you’re looking for. You asked about insight into why they aren’t accurate. That’s why

          Having given us the ability to edit service time, I wish they would do the same with player options.

          But its not easy to quantify. I don't blame SDS for not taking the time to chase all this info down.

          1200 players on the 40-man rosters. How long would you last Google searching all that cr@p?!
          You want free speech?

            It should 100% be an editable thing. I do kind of blame them a bit because it’s something you only have to input one time and then edit a couple players from year to year. Also considering how important options are to MLB franchises it is kinda an important thing

              The problem is, you/whomever have to pinpoint when the player was added to the 40-man roster. If that info isn't available, there's no way to know, definitively how many options a player has used.

              I'm not sure what info MLB and the MLBPA provides. I would hope service time and options are available to SDS?!

              Anyway, just saying, I don't think this is as cut and dried as we'd like to think.

              .. but hopefully this is editable at some point, that is the easiest solution, for sure.

                I’m pretty sure Fangraphs has player options remaining listed for players

                      The information is available and I wish options were accurate or at least editable, but there really isn't any reason to call SDS "lazier than every other video game developer"

                        Why not? Some of the simplest things have been missing for years. And it’s always things that affect almost exclusively franchise mode. What would you call it?

                          If you despise SDS so much then why waste money buying and playing their video games? I've seen a lot of your posts and there's very little positive coming from you about the way SDS does things. I mean, no they're not perfect and I have been critical of some things myself but I don't just flat out bash them.

                            Maybe in the future we'll get to edit options in the future. Being able to edit options and stats would be incredible. I also wish that they would make the stats separated for players that change teams during a season in franchise mode. I also have to keep track of that stuff individually myself and it's kinda of annoying sometimes. No longer having to worry about pitchers hitting makes it easier though.

                              If we’re talking about comments with no value, this one is. What I do with my money is no one’s concern but my own

                              As far as your question, I buy the game because it’s the only baseball video game available. I criticize (“bash” as you call it) because that’s what is deserved. Lack of effort should be called out. Especially when people are spending money for a service
