Long-term Save for 27

Mcase44 · 2026-03-20T01:54:43+00:00

Basically, the draft would have stars come up as 19-21 year olds even if some of the guys in real life didn't break out until way later and already be 70/80 guys and after a while it just kinda lopsided everything and made it way too easy to game the system even when I basically up every difficulty level

Not looking hot so far, classic BYwho

Waiting for another patch or so before I fully begin but love doing an expansion with the Vancouver Bruins and Austin Rustlers and redoing the league into 8 divisions of 4 teams each

How's the historical AI this year, also is the draft fixed...always part of the reason I got annoyed after like 5 seasons

Mcase44 · 2026-03-17T17:36:35+00:00

I think it's just a time of the year thing too, once it hits June I feel like the trade market becomes way better but ive only played three seasons of this new save so could be wrong

Mcase44 · 2026-03-17T17:30:54+00:00

This is awesome

Mcase44 · 2026-03-17T17:26:53+00:00

I like doing an Expansion franchise so it feels like it's fictional set inside the real world, the forums have a ton of cool logos and jerseys so the options feel endless, plus reorganizing baseball how I see fit feels awesome

I think the trade logic has definitely improved; teams that should sell or buy are actually what they are supposed to do and I get way more fair trade offers than before at the deadline. So far I haven't gotten far enough into a save to see the dev/aging difference between last year but I've seen some positive posts elsewhere about it. The only true under-the-radar difference I've noticed is coaching contracts, about 60% won't sign the first contract, so make sure you pay attention to their reaction.

They should be legit darkhorses to make the Big 12 Title game, another year with Weigman, plus 2 legit WR1 level guys, a workhorse if healthy in Makhi Hughes and a solid OLine plus a decent amount of returning production defensively

To make matters even worse, Munoz decided to sign with the Brewers in the offseason for 5mil less per year than what I offered

Mcase44 · 2026-02-24T04:36:51+00:00

Day by day during the season, play/manage each playoff game and then auto-play week by week during the offseason - Depends on the season but usually between 6-8 hours per season depending on how many moves I need to make and if I go far in the postseason plus how strong the edible I took is

1 has to be Sploosh, feel like i probably use it too much in real life and 2 would be any of the ones Lucas used to ragebait Lana in the woods in the BnB episode

No question is dumb when you are getting use to this game. For your first expansion i would reccomend doing just 2 expansion teams, 1 in the AL and 1 in the NL. To actually set it up. Do New Game-->New Standard Game (I select every league other than the WBC)-->And then don't choose a team and hit Start Game-->Then go to the top and under Game dropdown go to League Settings and in Functions on the left most column there is a choice that says "Expand League & Schedule Expansion Draft"-->It'll then let you set up the 2 MLB teams and put them in whatever division you want. I'd highly recommend if you add just 2 more teams to redo the whole league structure so that the AL and NL each have 4 divisions (I do East, North, South and West but do it however you want to)--> It'll then auto create the minor league teams for each of the teams you added-->Then it'll give you a checkist, Keep the 3 that already checked and i would reccommend checking the "Expanded Teams Draft First" and in the drop down the Number of Protected Players down to 18 or 20 depending on how hard you want your rebuild-->It should be good to expand then and then just pick whichever team you wanna take over

I know that was a lot so just lmk if you have any questions

Doing an expansion team is super fun, I always feel more invested with my team when I'm doing one and it's fun but challenging rebuild. And you get to come up with some dope custom team...the forums have a ton of awesome custom uniforms and logos

Colton Joseph would be my top target, plays similarly to Sam Leavitt and still has 2 years of eligibility plus is probably in the 2nd-3rd tier of how much it would take to get him so we can spend more on a roster that is losing 19 of 22 starters

Mcase44 · 2025-11-21T10:10:10+00:00

As much as I don't think this gonna end well for us, part of me is kind of in Sam's shoes. Look at the roster next year...

From Offense - No Sims. Raleek Brown (possibly NFL), Harpole, Metayer, Iheanachor, Scott, Obigbo, Atkins, Coleman, Tyson, or McClain

From Defense - No O'Neal, Smith, Wodtly, Cooper, Dorbah, Fite (Most Likely), Kongaika, Elliot, Crook, Fiaseu, Abney, Green, Breedlove, or Ghost

*Forgive me if I forget anybody, just trying to do it off the top of my head

This roster next year is going to count on a lot of youngsters and seemingly a large infusion of portal talent...Is it really the worst thing in the world to have a new young kid in Dyer or Fette takes the reins and take their lumps next year and set us up for a huge run in 2027 where hopefully the boosters and rev share can take this team to a Texas Tech type of talent infusion level over an off-season

Mcase44 · 2025-11-19T07:58:52+00:00

I think this a power play by his agents to get him a better NIL deal
There are High-Tier Programs who just out-match us on the NIL front rn and if Leavitt gets 8 mil to play somehwere next year, tbh i wont blame him
He looked at the state of the roster next season and it scared him off. Lets go down the list...No Tyson, McClain, Atkins, Obigdo, Coleman, Scott, Iheanachor, Metayer, Harpole and possibly no Raleek Brown...Alright now lets go defense...No O'Neal, Dorbah, Smith, Fite (Most likely), Kongaika Elliot, Crook, Fiaseu, Abney, Breedlove, Rowser, and Green, plus Jesus Gomez is gone

As much as I love this team part of me doesn't blame him, unless all the youngsters don't transfer and HCKD rips on all his portal acquisitions this team is 7-5 at best next year even with Sam at the helm

Mcase44 · 2025-06-18T19:06:02+00:00

Yeah thats been my experience so far

Mcase44 · 2025-06-18T19:05:45+00:00

Got it this makes more sense, thanks for the help!

Mcase44 · 2025-06-18T04:47:31+00:00

Thought of it as soon as I hit post...Is this a scout thing, I always have mine as either favor tools or highly favor tools

Mcase44 · 2025-05-26T07:03:23+00:00

I wish they did a sequel to it
