Player development

Haven’t played the game in a while and only came back recently to find that the minor league development is terrible. All my 5 star players are capped at 80 and it is very expensive to upgrade the facilities after that. So it makes drafting and international signings pointless because when they just reach the cap when they are 20 and i dont want to call them up yet. I want them to develop more like the old way because that allowed me to get them on great contracts and plan for the future after my major players were getting older. So unless i sign or trade for players that were developed under other teams my players will become 90 at best after gear boosts and coaches after like 8 years in the majors. Overall it is just less rewarding not being able to draft and sign international players and have them develop into 85-90 overall in the minors and then calling them up.
Ive been playing this game for years and spent at least $100 on this game and i feel this change was not necessary. The game is still enjoyable especially with the new coaching changes and leagues pass. If you could just revert back to the old way of development it would make this game truly perfect almost.
Thank you

Great game, very minor improvements needed

Game is great to play and is essentially exactly what I was looking for. I’ve played the game a lot since downloading and purchased the premium, which I still think was worth it.

All that said, there are a few minor improvements that I think could take the game to the next level.

First is realism. While I don’t expect a completely realistic game (nor do I care much), some stats are just too unrealistic. Pitchers throwing 400+ strikeouts, batters hitting over .400, the list goes on. Making these stats at least slightly more realistic might be an improvement.

Second for me is season length and trade deadlines. The trade deadline is earlier than the real life deadline but the season goes an extra month, so there isn’t any real possibility of trading in or out of playoff contention if your on the cusp, often making season goals a matter of luck.

All in all great game, will keep playing but would love to see those updates.

Love it with one exception

This game is amazing I love ever part of it, one fact that is continuing to pop up is the way the in game managers control their pitching staff. The amount of times I choose the play game option and the manager leaves the starter in for all nine innings is crazy. I just had a game where We lose 13-5 and the starter stayed in the whole game giving up all 13 runs. When you pick “play game” it would enhance the experience of the game if you could handle you’re own pitching staff somehow. Where you can put in pitchers that are on your roster so you can actually have a chance to win. Instead of keeping the starter in and letting them get shelled and you just lose that game. You don’t have to change anything else. No need for defensive subs or hitting subs because you as a GM or player should already have your best hitters and fielders on the field. I play this game all the time and love it. I think this would put it over the top. Thanks
