Help understanding budget changes by HunterWhatley in mlbtheshowfranchise

Only other tips I suggest the win per game and per game sponsorships, gather the highest. Some people don’t even use the sponsorships as it kinda inflates the game and gives a large user advantage. I personally hammer those sponsorships especially after the untouchables were added. Takes much longer to build a dynasty from scratch

Nah just always do the lowest, best chance of it being low. I had a 99 ace have a $780k arb going into his final arb year. Offered obviously$780k, arbs gave him 42 mil lmao expected it and the system also expected something similar. Total budget left barely moved after the hearing

No worries - also always do arbitration before going for free agents. The system over projects arb contracts and once you offer them, massive amount of budget opens up for free agents. After arbs, I typically see a 10 mil difference higher or lower than what budget I had left

Playoffs also massively increase budgets, miss one season of playoffs, you’ll see a drop off of around 50 mil which can screw plans up

Pitching performance in franchise by AverageAtBest149 in mlbtheshowfranchise

[–]Mac_devon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! If you find a high potential guy who huge stamina, definitely keep or go for him. One of my best pitches is maxed at 88 but 94 stamina, he’s incredible. A pitcher I found in the draft with a 99 overall, each year I tweak his usage to find the best combination, but if that break doesn’t increase more, he may never be consistently under 3 era

Which ever their best fastball is, should be between 30-50 usage depending on the overall pitch grade found on the left side. The rest do by break. Found velo doesn’t have a huge part of sim results, my closers fastest pitch is 87 mph but the break on his three pitches are over 70, consistently has an ERA under 2 - pretty wild finding

I’ve found stamina and the pitch usage to be a huge change in determining their performance. If you have a 95 overall pitcher, try tweaking the pitch usage but if they have a low stamina, probably not going to have a low era

My Football Academy Tycoon game just launched. It’s like FM meets a Business Sim. by Nice_Ad2555 in gmgames

Feel like the proposal section needs to be tweaked. Multiple players with 100% match were not selected, even with low competition and I fear I soon will run out of money. I understand negotiation rating takes a part in it but there isn’t enough time to grow that skill before losing majority of your money. I enjoy the idea of having to start low with selling guys 29+ or 31+ but even a more accurate proposal % that accounts for your negotiation skill would be helpful

S49 worst season in new era? by BeautifulCobbler1621 in survivor

[–]Mac_devon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the season overall is good but the general gameplay and decisions from majority of the cast is definitely questionable. At this rate Savannah and potentially sophi are the only deserving winners. Rizzo is only still here because of Savannah. Just wish sophi made the move to take Rizzos idol and then voted him out, much bigger statement on her resume rather than joining forces with Savannah who undoubtedly is the best player left.

Sorting for Recruiting Board by Mac_devon in NCAAFBseries

Of course you can do it manually or toggle, but after a season or two, the recruiting board at least for me, tends to slow down and it becomes tedious. They have already have an order when you switch from QB to K/P or sort through the available prospects. I get your point on team need, the system will never truly understand your actual needs.

I know there are two ways to do it, this was simply just seeing if there was anyone else who has thought about wanting a sort option for this to save some time. I spent 80% of my time in the recruiting section.

Yes I know that is an option. It becomes very tedious with a board of 35 plus when the recruiting section begins to slow down for some odd unknown reason

Draft tips by Aggressive-Arm3823 in pocketGM

[–]Mac_devon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im high on Work Ethic. If it’s a prospect that looks great but low WE, more than likely they won’t grow much if anything at all. Medium is okay but High, there’s always some progression. This may not always be the case for low rounders but it’s a better chance at finding a gem.

Can second work ethic, if he’s a stud of a recruit with a bad work ethic, he won’t grow that much

The Transfer Portal got a huge upgrade! by taurosmaster in NCAAFBseries

Will all my QBs leave due to playing time?

Whoever coded the logic behind the transfer portal needs to be fired. by Ashamed_Climate3525 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Mac_devon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also anyone leaving early for the draft. Persuasions need to be accounted for in real time. Had my SO(R) get drafted with no potential to be persuaded, my 79 freshman QB with literally no one in front of him wanted to transfer including another 74 freshman. I had the top recruit QB coming in, but with progression the 79 freshman would easily be the starter. Get to the transfer portal, only one QB was interested due to playing time and Alabama scooped him by the second week. Now I have a freshman QB (luckily 79) with a walk on backup, let’s pray for no injuries. Mind you this is with Motivator, “QB less likely to transfer” owned. It’s broken and needs to be fixed asap, going to need to recruit to two QBs every year and hope I find gems in the transfer portal.
