MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

[findinghomer]

no knight of ALL my players i had thorough reports on i had ONE actually in the draft. i dont think thats "laying" anything out for me LOL . so the ENTIRE draft was a crap shoot.

and retiring bc of dislocated ankle is hardly realistic.

thanx trinity. found it now. that was driving me crazy!

another minor annoyance is the "40 man" laid out. there technically isnt one. you just get a master sheet saying yes or no on the 40 man. do i have to manually count to know EXACTLY how many guys i have on the 40 man!?! this is a nusance when rule v comes around. it also does not tell you who is even eligible for the rule v, who you may want to protect by putting on the 40 man or am i missing this somewhere?


also why did the cpu trade bug, not do any trades for me?

What is making this game better than last year's game?

id keep that bad boy in plastic. honestly only thing im liking better is the new camera angle, and hit variety. oh the new email section is very nice. other than that its a broken 09

Oh, excellent news then!

I wouldn't say that is entirely correct... Yes, guys get released and FAs will be there etc.. But with player movement, this is exactly what I am seeing:

With injuries OFF(just testing purposes): There is NO player movement whatsoever! Meaning IMO, the ai will NOT move players on their own due to performance. The only movement is on april 5th, or the 7th when season starts(and its the same players everytime i believe).

With injuries ON: The player movement was there and in abundance! But ONLY because of injuries to minor league players, not because of their performance on the field.

Now, there is an option you can do to go about working around it. I personally will be playing with Injuries ON more than likely(but seriously thinking about turning them OFF too, ur decision).

And I noticed at the 1st of EVERY month starting May 1st each team gets emails concerning "struggling AA or AAA player" from the previous month. Also emails about a few players that did really well.

What I'm going to do and I suggest is control all 30 teams, and each month move those FEW(not 20, so its not alot of work) up or down depending on the email. It sounds like a pain, but it really won't take long at all to do honestly. And if you have lineup/rotation set to auto you don't have to set that after u move players around.

I would actually prolly turn player movement to manual on the settings on the day you do that and leave it there for the next day just in case the cpu decides to move them back on their own. Then switch it back to auto so they can move them around for injuries, if u have injuries turned ON. If you set injuries to OFF, then I would just set player movement to manual until September 2nd(after you manually move the FEW players), then switch it to auto that way on September 7th the cpu can do their "september call-ups" which most teams will do.

I know its alot, and sounds confusing maybe, but this is what I've found everytime I sim a season in franchise. Its going to be a great franchise IMO, can't wait to start mine!

There is a 40 man roster screen that lists everyone who is on your 40 man roster

It also tells you on the players...player card if he is Rule V eligible or not.
