This is probably the most straight forward and concise video on this I’ve seen yet, so thank you. I also feel better knowing that it isn’t necessarily me, comparing the classes I’ve had to what I saw in this video, my classes have been dogwater (three drafts, only seen one player from all 30 teams’ picks with potential higher than 92 that wasn’t a 50 OVR)
These are some great strategies…I’ve basically been doing all of the same except I still do 3 weeks of discovery and primarily focus on high school players as I’ve found that this is the best way to find those “generational” 99+ talents
Hey man in interested to know cause I did some discovery and found some good guys high rank that were not rank by MLB so they drop.
The first three weeks so you get high efficiency high discovery and do all three scouts for discovery? Then grab High efficiency, positional and pitching?
@@TheEru88 Yeah I've refined it over the past week to just using two of my high discovery high-efficiency scouts on finding new talent, the key for me has been focusing on international prospects as that talent pool seems the largest from all regions so you get that bang for your buck - I usually get around 5-7 new prospects on the books each week that way then I pick from the best of that crop - you're right to mention the MLB normally sleeps on the guys you discover so you can load up on great talent late since they seem to always slide
@@JD-fl4dz This is interesting. I buy this game every year but I never make it through a season so I just sim the draft and stuff but this year I want to try to make it through a few years and sim a bit. So I'm focusing in on the draft a lot more. There is a lot that goes into it that seems fun that I had no idea about.
I disagree a little about scouting whole positions. It gives you a good broad amount of players scouted for those later rounds. And having to do it yourself by looking at their birthplace is kind of the point. It's not supposed to be as easy as it's been in previous years.
Yeah I agree with you, I usually scout international and east SP at some point in my scouting just for those late round picks that won't be taken before that
Hey! I’ve been terrible at drafting in this game so I wanted to say thanks for this tutorial! It really saved me big!
I’m glad I could help!
I been watching you since Madden 22 and the information you give especially on mlb 22 and 23 has help me out a lot in franchise mode
I think discovery is better for those mid 70 overall players with C potential, which can be useful early on in a rebuild like the athletics in the middle rounds.
Usually International Pitcher is a good bet to scout 30-40 players minimum. Also the 18 year olds are volatile but there is the potential for them to be generational the way you scout essentially writes off that whole age group. Sometimes there are 81 99 players in the 18 year old section. The positional interest thing though complete life saver.
The issue I’ve had is I’ve yet to see a generational player. I’ve been through 10+ classes now and the best player I’ve seen was a 75A in the entire league. Typically with my method I’m the one grabbing those players too, and other teams pick up the scraps
@@JacobReid lol 😂 some people I Know of have seen 10-15 my ass had a draft where the best player on the whole class was a 65 89 or a 54 95 😂. I finally got a draft where at 30 I picked a 67 97 and the number 2 pick was a 81 99 with 99 speed and all mid. 60’s numbers
@@JacobReid I think just mention if you see an 18 year old with 61-90 overall or something like that early that he could be a stud
@@nickbacherbaronsoc7193 I feel like it would be so satisfying to get that 80 overall player. I can’t wait til one does eventually pop up in one of my franchises
@@nickbacherbaronsoc7193 really good point. I plan to make more videos on this, so I won’t leave that info out
Playing MTO and completed my first draft for this year's game. Draft/Scouting seems wayyyy better and more intriguing then past games imo. Followed your draft/scout strategy and it helped me out alot! 🤘🤘🤘
Glad I could help!
I just did a scouting session and there were very few with 75-99 range. Most of them were 60's-99 or less. There were a few 80-99 but just that, a few.
Still playing 23 and after wearing myself out on DD, and now I’m trying franchise for the first time. Thanks for the great vid!
I’m finding it hard to sign all of the prospects I’m able to draft. I had drafted a great SP with the #2 pick as the Nats and then got another SP in the second round that my org scouted as the #4 overall pick. I wasn’t able to sign him even after offering the max bonus that I could with like 78% interest.
I find it hard to balance scouting a variety of players vs finding your key guys around your draft position, building interest while scouting, and then praying they aren’t taken.
Me too I was 3 years deep in franchise and wasn’t starting over for 24. Now I’m 10 years deep. Only got like 5 players from that first team left on team
This is a good strategy. I normally draft by plugging prospects into an formula: (potential - overall)/(29-age). If the number is a 4 or larger, I'm pretty much not drafting this player unless they are nearly a 70 overall. What this formula tells you is the average amount of overall you need your prospect to increase year to reach their potential number by age 29. By this age, I expect potential to be reached and the prospect to be near free agency. For example your last picks may look good on paper however they would have to increase around 4.5 overall every year to reach potential at 29. I also tend to shy away from prospects who can't hit or don't have good per 9 metrics as a pitcher. These players tend to struggle more with their development
How do you know their potential and overall tho with the possible ranges being so wide
@@JohnM-sw4sc I dont but the difference between the lowest potential - lowest overall and highest potential - highest overall is the same. So I use that number and assume that I when I draft the player, his actual Potential - Overall will be the same difference between the hi or low potential minus actual numbers. So if I draft a 22 yr old that is has a difference of 30 in potential - overall, I assume he has to increase by an average of 4.29 each year (30/(29-22)) to reach his potential. If they have not reached their potential by 29, I assume they will not continuously increase to make it unless they are really close. Basically I am trying to measure how much work has to be done to reach potential by age 29 if a draft a given prospect
I find scouting starting pitchers “international” and finding the next largest region for 2 weeks to start is a great way to get guys later in draft that are Not Rated on MLB prospect list, but can get as high as 50 on team scouting list. These players don’t need to be scouted more as that number doesn’t change much and they are available still in rounds 5 and 6 when the pickings are slim. Also can mean finding a guy the league ranks as a 3rd round type guy that can be a top ten pitcher for a solid second round pick.
Dude teach me
I respectfully disagree on the discovery trait. I have found that is usually 1-2 generational talent hidden somewhere in the discovery mechanic. My strategy has been to have all 3 scouts on discover for the month of April. That way I have close to the full player pool the remaining months when I scout by position. Doing discovery piecemeal throughout the year is where players usually go wrong. If the are scouting an entire position and there are players still not discovered, those undiscovered players are not getting scouted at all. I’ve used this to pick up several 88-99 potential players. And the kicker is, since most of the other teams don’t do much discovery, you can draft these guys in later rounds giving you more room to draft the “known quantities” in the earlier rounds. Just my two cents. 😊
I’ll have to try this out! I’m open to the idea of it
I use scout position for the first 3 or 4 weeks on sp because there are so many. It’s good to go through and just scout individual all the position players and the starting pitchers that stand out after that.
Solid content! As an avid sports gamer, thank you!!
No, thank you for your support!
Awesome video! Liked and subbed!
Discovery of pitchers international is invaluable. Usually get 10 or so and half are good. Scouting 40 international starting pitchers by positions and other areas of starting pitchers is also invaluable.
Six weeks of 15 percent gets 40 players to 100 percent. Who wouldn't do that?
I don’t know, I’ve seen so many people comment about going so hard on pitchers. It just doesn’t seem necessary to me. I can get A potential 18 year olds across the board at positions I need. I could do the pitchers thing, but then you just have extra leg work because you have too many pitchers you need to move for other prospects. Then you get into a conversation about realism
Drafted 6 guys with 93+ potential and two of them were 99 potential. Awesome method
Really happy to hear this method is working!
I still play 23 because I’m cheap. This strategy is a massive W.
This isn’t a bad way to do it but I wouldn’t recommend if you sim your seasons. A lot of those prospects were raw and would take 5+ even 8+ seasons before usable
Overall potential isnt everything now. you also need to look at individual potential for stats. I've seen 90+ potential guys have sub 60 potential for each hitting stat and are busts.
Great video. Thanks for all of your work!
Thank you for supporting the channel!!
Also, I have realized that scouting not ranked prospects with high potential is broken. You can get playera with 88-99 potential like that and other teams don’t rank
Other teams could have those players ranked within there system tho. I have had players taken in front of me that were not ranked by MLB but were top talents in the draft according to my scouts. It’s hit or miss but other teams will take your number 1 guy even if he isn’t ranked by MLB he could be ranked number 1 on their board to just depends. I hope this helps you.
I’ve definitely had players taken that were unranked and good before. AI do a decent job at scouting sometimes. Also they mostly end up being really low overall and take ages to grow to their potential.
I have found that discovery does work but it works the best on pitchers. Usually pitchers that you discover can be pretty easy to find. I encourage to discover prospects you never know if that prospect will be a generational player or even a great player.
International pitchers I especially encourage everyone to discover.
Best Video Ever !!! thank you
Figured it out my first round pick was 90-95 potential and overall says 78-83 he was ranked 81st got him with my second pick
Good technique but is it worth it to get all 21+ ages ? I personally don’t think so I’d rather scout 18-20 year olds with two scouts and my third scout in Position scouting SP and just switch regions every two weeks
Great video ty
what about regression? why isn’t there a slider to adjust regression like nba 2k does it?
Unfortunately MLB just isn’t that advanced. We’ve been asking for common sense updates for years
THIS! I only played MyGM like 1 time, but I remember the progression and regression sliders being a thing. You could even adjust the ages a player’s prime would be between.
My number 1 issue with MLB the Show is the exact opposite of Madden. In Madden, it’s fun to draft and develop players, but the gameplay sucks. In MLB, the players take 2-6 years to develop into true stars, and while the variance and bust potential are very realistic, they will only be their max overall for like 3-4 seasons before they start to regress.
I personally wish you could make it so that players only regress in the offseason like Madden does even though the slow decline over the course of the season is more realistic.
To me, MLB franchise just takes too long to get interesting if you’re doing a realistic rebuild unless you are a team with a big budget. Players do take a long time to develop in many cases, but they are good for 7-10 years sometimes as opposed to 2-3.
How did you view the draft results with each team like that?
It’s after you sign your picks
Press r2 or l2
Thank god I found this video. Ruined my tigers franchise back to back years drafting straight busts.
Thank you I drafted this guy Elvis Massey RF age 22 POT 98
I think drafting has became easier because now u don’t have to scout 200+ players and it was so t tedious now I literally didn’t scout anyone just took the highest ranked player and had two 90+ potential players
Great job I really needed these tips, but let me ask you, are you okay with drafting a 21-year-old that has a 40 overall at the start? Wont that take at least 6-8 seasons to actually get the appropriate attributes to be effective at the MLB level?
My opinion is that most 40 to 50 rated players are useless. I would rather have someone at 70 with C potential that can bump his potential then an A rated 45 to 50 player. By the time they are useful, they are making more money than they should and are subject to the Rule 5, and usually out of options. An 18 year old A prospect rated 50 might be 28 by the time he's 70 to 75 rated. They aren't guarneteed to make it to their potential, I don't believe. And he might be in his early 30s by the time he gets there.
I find that the low-rated A’s and B’s are far more valuable for future trades. I see them as assets to the organization, which allow you to package up and help your team where it really needs it
@@JacobReid If you compare the "interest" of a low rated A player and a higher rated C player, the bar is nearly always higher for the C player if they're near the same age.
These videos is why i started watching you're channel! Also age makes a difference this year i think
Im glad you like the channel! Age is definitely an important factor! Don’t overlook age differences
Hey Jacob,
A few draft questions...do you feel like the AI will pretty much stick to their rankings when drafting, or will they reach for players? Also, how do you feel about reaching for players? If you have a player that is rated 150th on the board but looks like an absolute monster, do you allow him to fall that far in the draft or will you reach for him. So players typically fall to somewhere around their projected ranking? How about NR?
The AI will reach for players based on their true talent. I haven’t seen many players fall, so I just take the best player I know about in any given scenario
Maybe a dumb question, but how did you view your draft results following the draft? I don't seem to have that option on my system.
Not a dumb question! I’ve gotten this one a few times actually, and it’s not as simple as you’d think. You have to wait til after the signing period. On or after august 1st you’ll be able to see their official ratings and potential!
@@JacobReid thanks, very helpful. You got yourself another subscriber.
@@nicholaspeterson5925 thank you for subscribing!
what exactly does the class mean? i’ve seen 4 year junior 4 year senior high school and some other classes but i’m not sure what it refers to
Good question. Something I need to look into
It’s just telling you where they’re coming out of. HS = High school player JC-1 = they’re a sophomore coming out of a junior college and 4th YR = senior out of college and so on
Great video
Thanks!
Your amazing man.
I'm using the A's and kind of fumbled my draft. Was not good. Then I was knock out of the wild card race in the month of August I won only 5 games
I wish you could edit the draft class
near the end of the video where do you get to the screen that shows there actual potential
I believe on or around august 1st, which is the end of the signing period, you can then view that screen at the bottom of the franchise menu. It says something like “view drafted players”
@@JacobReid thank you
How can I sign them says gotta sign them before August but the sign picks option is locked?
Pretty sure you need the interest level to be at least 50%
You won’t hardly ever find generational talent without discovering prospects..
I’ve found the top players in every single class without ever discovering new players
Does changing the positional needs week to week to the positions you are scouting have an affect on player interest? Or do you to set it and leave it the same for all 14 weeks?
You can change them each week depending on who you want to scout so you get as much interest as possible. It has no negative impact on the scouting
At 12:40 how do I get to that list?
You will see it after the signing period. On or after august 1st
We all know you save the season the day before the draft see who is high potential in each round restart and choose them
That’s one way to do it lol
@@JacobReid lol I'm not ashamed that I've done this a few times .. when you start with the tigers the pirates of the nationals you deserve a 99 generation talent with 80 plus overall.. when I start a franchise I sim the first season to the draft to make sure I get 1... I have gotten 2 before..and to make sure I'm playing fair I don't get ohtani since he's a free agent every year but I do snatch 87 pitcher servio
