Would appreciate you doing a video on how contracts work. How arbitration works and how qualifying a player effects the team if a qualified player is signed by another team. Cheers.
Hi, I am thinking of getting this game but idk can you give me your opinion? I love to play franchise but I usually only play madden and as you probably already know it gets very repetitive and boring, I used to play fifa in manager mode(franchise) and it was cool too even tough I don’t really like soccer. I heard that this game was the ultimate franchise mode but idk if I should get it, i don’t know a single things about baseball but I do like it
@@sebastiannalfredoo5665 It is easily the most in-depth franchise mode of any sports game. That being said, it could be tough to navigate with no baseball knowledge. But I started playing NBA 2K21 Franchise with no basketball knowledge and I am having a blast.
One thing I learned during my first couple franchises was not to be afraid to resign the lower rated players at your ballclub. Not everyone is a stud, but a baseball organization needs bodies to fill out spots and make the lower levels work.
I feel like the 36 years old rookie being call to the majors finally! Hahaha! And you are the guy who leads the team! Just waiting to play tonite for the first time this game in my Xbox!
I usually turn injuries off on all my sports games simply because no game has managed to master it in a realistic way. I would love to leave it on but it gets to the point where too many start players are injured. It quickly becomes too unrealistic especially in a long rebuild game.
Rebuild idea: It might be impossible but I was thinking do like a son of a former baseball player rebuild So like Bo Bichette, Clay Bellinger, so you could have Cody, Craig Biggio, so you could have Cavan, Vladdy, Ke’Bryan and etc. it might be cool but a little hard
Little bit of a fun fact about CPU Roster control: You cannot trade multiple players when it is turned on. It's just a glitch that San Diego Studios hasn't fixed, but yeah, keep that in mind as a downside to turning it on.
Yo so I’m new this is my first baseball game ever and idk how I should set up my lineups when my people who hit are tired should I make the tired guys down in the lineup and bring them back up when they are good and if they are cold should I move them down or do these things matter to much and thanks helped quite a bit
Could we get a transitioning from off-season -> spring training -> regular season and how to manage your roster to preserve options, not have the cpu randomly call up send down guys when you advance. This has always confused me
Great basics! Question....for a year-to-year mostly full play type franchise...would you recommend pre-setting the injuries from the real-life MLB? And is there a good tutorial you have seen on that subject? Thanks for doing these videos!
Thanks for the video helped me out my question is does this year have the moral of/for players? Bad enough can't transfer my season (stated in 2016) to the mlb 21 I've been playing franchise mode on MLB the show for many years fact all I play is franchise mode, in the past years have been easy this year has thrown me a curve ball
I’m trying to play vs my friends and my rosters are all over the place i play with the Yankees and Luke voit isn’t in the line up as well as for the padres fernando tatis jr isn’t in the line up does anyone know how to fix this issue
I’ve always just picked my starter before the game and use my 4 that way and the 5th I always use out of the bullpen as a long reliever since he has to be on your roster anyways
Ik I’m a month late but could you do a video on waivers cause I’m always running into that problem and I don’t know how long they take to go through and I cant move/release people from my rosters
Why not try it out? If you don't like it you could always just start a normal franchise. That's the fun of it, just test out things and see what you like!
I haven’t played a baseball game or even followed baseball in about a dozen years. Franchise mode made me want to get this. I haven’t forgotten baseball but I’ve forgotten baseball games. Any general tips from the community in addition to these tips? Also, is it similar to Fifas franchise mode? Less complex, more complex?
How do I get to the strike zone view. I'm in strike zone 3 but since I'm so new I'd rather have strike zone or strike zone 1 I guess it is! Also I cannot get created player on the free agent roster.
I still really want the ability to do a road to the show with a real player. Like I know you can player lock in franchise but I want to be able to go into road to the show and select a real player (major or minor leaguer) and play out the rest of their career. Would be fun to see if you can continue greatness, turn around a career, etc. so many possibilities just like RTTS with a user made player.
Watched a lot of your rebuilds last year. Because of that bought last year's edition. And this gave me a good view of what has changed in franchise and it looks great. Thanks again for your content. Also maybe a tougher rebuild idea if it's even possible. A non America rebuild. Using European and Asian players(possible exception is draft players
Hi, i have played mlb 18 , 19 and 20 and had no issues saving an in game save before making a risky move. If I decided iwanted to go back to that point I would eject the disc then re insert which would bring me to all the last saved games and in game saves being able to pick up where I left off, but in mlb 21 I can save an in game save but can't find it or go back . I looked in File Management and it says no files available ? Any help appreciated.
This is great. I do have one question that I can’t seem to find a solid answer for. After I’ve signed a free agent, how long do I need to wait before they’re tradable? I’ve seen some people say they think it’s 30 days, others say they need to play a certain number of games, but it seems to all be just guesses. Any help there would be great. Thanks man!
Is there anyway to switch teams in Franchise or deselect a controlled team? I started a custom team and also accident selected the Rockies too. I don’t know how to stop controlling them. Any tips??

Really appreciate your video Mr. The AntOrtiz. I hope you can help me with this. I have the new show21 game and wish to use a Historic Roster from the Roster Vault for game play. I can download and save the file ok but when I try to use that Roster it says no file found. I must be missing something, I hope it can be fixed. Any help much appreciated, and thank you.
Why is it when I start franchise mode and start my first game (and games after) it shows a 3-1 count 0-2 count without me even throwing a pitch. Also does the same when im up to bat. Is there a way to turn this off?
@@TheAntOrtiz THANK U SO MUCH! I started my Franchise last night and got 2 games in. Both games went into extra innings. I lost the first one because I'm still trying to figure out the base running and how to steal but I did win the second game in the 15th inning smh. I play on XBOX 1. If you'd ever like to play an online exhibition game, let me know!
BTW, I cant remember if u said u play MLB The Show 21 on PS or XBOX1, but I quick tutorial on baserunning and stealing bases. Since I've been having trouble with base running on XBOX 1, I just hit the left button to send all runners but that's worst way to run bases when you have runners at the corners
Does anyone know if I can import my franchise from the show 20 to the show 21? Literally the only reason why I haven’t bought the new version yet cause I don’t want to lose my stacked Cubs team I worked so hard to build! Thank you guys in advance
For some reason Ohtani cannot be switched into a two-way player in franchise even though there's a specific tab in his general information called "two way player" any thoughts on how to fix this or if it's just a bug?
Can you change DH rules in the middle of a franchise? I'd like to have AL-only DH in 2021 like real life but switch to universal DH like what will likely happen in real life after this season.
Since Xbox just got the show back and me and a couple of friends was trying to get a league going but we have no idea on setting and tips for a online league
I created a player outside of franchise and loaded the roster with myself as a free agent and signed him to the Braves. The problem is I put him in the lineup but after my first AB i get replaced defensively and I am out the game. Can anyone help me so that I can play and now just bat once?

20:07 Jermey Pena would be the perfect player to draft in the rule 5 draft. 70 overall, with an A rating for potential and is only 23 years old.
Brand new to the show... Can you set up an online league for yourself & 1 friend & have a fantasy draft like you can in nba2k or madden???

Any changes for playoff rosters and pitching rotations? Teams don’t go with a 5 man rotation in the playoffs.
I’ve always just picked my starter before the game and use my 4 that way and the 5th I always use out of the bullpen as a long reliever since he has to be on your roster anyways
How can I add to my budget using my stubs? We could last year, but I can’t find it this year.

I’m an Xbox guy so this is my first year of the show since PS3 era. Would you recommend doing March to October into franchise or do them sepperate
March to October is less hands on BUT if you want to you can play March to October first and after that first season continue it into franchise mode.
Why not try it out? If you don't like it you could always just start a normal franchise. That's the fun of it, just test out things and see what you like!
