Re: Mlb 14 franchise progress

I've yet to even decide what team I want to run my franchise with. That always takes a few days for me.

Re: Mlb 14 franchise progress

I always go with the Cubs as I am huge Cubs fan. They obviously aren't great right now, but have the makings to be rather quickly with the farm system they have built up. I think one of the first things I am going to do is figure out what to do with Darwin Barney. He is a great defensive player but I have Javier Baez waiting in the wings. I probably will give Olt a good chance at 3rd base while Bryant & Villanueva develop in the minors. I might call up Josh Vitters midway through the season and probably continue the rebuilt for another season. I plan to play 1 and sim 5, so that I am getting to the next pitcher each time I do this.

One of my main goals will be lock up Samardjia for the long run as I do believe he could be an ace and were not that far off from competing. I will probably trade Hammel rather quickly.

Re: Mlb 14 franchise progress

Just finished manually injuring a few players, doing some tiny edits on the OSFM (making sure stars of other teams actually play not just sit in A ball all season) and setting up 30 team control. I choose my Yankees like I do every season really excited, this is the year I will play all 162 I swear!

I was surprised to see we can override the weather before each franchise game. While its a nice addition I really hope its still random if you don't change the setting, loading up into a sunny game or a rainy game was always nice.

Re: Mlb 14 franchise progress

Weather is random just don't change the settings

I actually came on the forum to ask about the whole rebuilding thing. I'm a Mets fan, so the rebuilding is kinda important, lol. Anyway, I haven't played this series in a while, but I remember there being a problem where prospects don't really go up that much at the end of the year. It seems to be a problem with most sports games this year. Whats the average increase and whats the highest increase you can expect to see for the top prospects?

Re: Mlb 14 franchise progress

Lost to the Astros 1-8

I was not ready to face a pitcher throwing 98 (Cosart). Its going to take me a few games to get used to playing again though.

Re: Mlb 14 franchise progress

Re: Mlb 14 franchise progress

Ill be here a lot. I put a lot of time into this last year. Would take more than an hour to create my posts at times. Posts will be hidden in spoilers due to images and being so big at times.

30 team control. Players that were injured at the start of the season and still are are injured in the game. Didnt feel like taking the time to find player that are playing now but did at the start. Player that got injured after the season wont be injured in the game.

Spoiler

Start of 2014 Season

We are going to try and get to the Playoffs for the 1st time in 29 years. We have the pieces to make it in as a wildcard. Whether or not those pieces can come together is the only problem. First place is the goal though. Detroit is beatable with the injuries and that bullpen. I will play the first 5. Then will play 1 sim 5 most of the season.

Re: Mlb 14 franchise progress

Got through 7 games thanks to quick counts last night. My Brewers are currently 4-3 after losing a heartbreaker to the Phillies in extra, in which Rollins hit a walk off bomb on their home opener. Gomez got hurt for me in the 2nd game and is out 2-3 months so Im platooning Schafer and Elian Herrera until he is back. Ramirez has been on fire with 3 homers so far and 7 rbi. Next up I got Marco Estrada vs AJ Burnett
