MLB: The Show 15

[Trey]

I'm a Cardinals fan but I haven't been keeping up to much lately with baseball, what would be a good team that has a few different great looking prospects I could start a swimming franchise with?

Basically I'd like to have a franchise I can sim multiple seasons with and watch how players improve from year to year based on their potential as prospects.

[Berober]

Astros and Cubs spring to mind for me, Cubs are a bit more ready than the Astros though

[Meacon Keaton]

Cubs, Twins, Pirates, or Astros.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Hey guys, I've been away all weekend for a work thing.

When I get home from the Jays game tonight, I'll look into getting the last few invites out for the league.

Think I'm going to take the A's.

[Trey]

Astros it is, I couldn't bring myself to play as the Cubs.

[9 to 5]

I went to college for four years. And all I got was to be drafted with the Diamondbacks.

[Meacon Keaton]

And a degree in cosmetology to fall back on!

[9 to 5]

I also don't know who to play in franchise mode.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yankees. That way you can have A-Rod on another one of your teams.

[9 to 5]

You could have had him if TEOL didn't scare you away from our league.

[Meacon Keaton]

Bloody foreigners trying to take my sport.

Fun aside: as a pre-order bonus, I was able to get one of those SkinIt controller skins for a DS4.

Naturally, I wanted a Braves skin. Options were white with blue trim, white with slightly more blue trim alongside a Braves logo, a red skin with the Atlanta 'A' and a Craig Kimbrel jersey/number motif.

I ordered the Kimbrel one.

They sent me the red one by accident!

[9 to 5]

Just come across a AA relief pitcher called Buck Dukes!

Who wants a bet they had a mad scramble to recall all the Kimbrel skins

Whenever I play RTTS, I always start with my own name, but then I love to mix things up in my different position ones. Coming up with fun baseball names is a ton of fun. Lefty Gonzalez, Bo Burns, etc. My friend has a long standing tradition of naming his player Tug Cox.

[Draevyn]

When you do RTTS, do you only do your own stuff? Such as when you're batting, would you only control it while your player is up or the whole thing?

[9 to 5]

Just your own stuff.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Yeah, you only have to play as your own character.

You only have to do your own at-bats, your own fielding and your own base-running. You can also turn off fielding and base-running if all you want to do is bat as your RTTS player.

[Trey]

Just threw a 1 hitter as Kershaw, it was the other teams pitcher who got the hit after an 8 pitch at bat. Brutal.

[Draevyn]

Man, The Jay's starting pitchers right now make me want to throw the game. I did well with Hutchinson but Dickey and his knuckleball just frustrates me because I can't seem to hit my mark with it at all.
