The Complete MLB the Show 24 Offseason Guide!! Tips and Tricks to Avoid Common Mistakes.

- This has been a topic requested on multiple occasions on videos and livestreams on the channel, so today I walk you through my MLB the Show offseason process.
This video is meant to teach beginners the ropes, not to squeeze every possible inch of value out of the offseason. There are certainly ways to save a few bucks on certain areas and optimize every roster spot better than I do in this video, but that is not the purpose of this video.
I hope this helps people avoid many of the common mistakes made in the offseason of this game, and if it helps you, I'd appreciate a like on the video and a subscription to the channel.
Thanks!! - Ігри
getting into mlb show this weekend, this video was everything I was looking for! ty
Happy to help!
Thanks for making this, I definitely need the guidance to make this franchise mode not feel so daunting!
Happy to help!
I learn about off season last game 23. I wish I stuck with baseball instead following my friends play basketball and football. Man I love the contract concept the have The ARB and RNW
It’s certainly a unique way to do things! It makes it hard to get young free agents though.

One thing I found out about the Rule 5 draft is 18-19 year old players are sometimes not eligible for the Rule 5 drift regardless of being on the 40 man or not.
It’s saved me from wasting potential/talent because they weren’t ready for the MLB level, but I didn’t want to lose a 40 man spot on a prospect.
They should never be eligible for the Rule 5 draft. 18 year old draftees should get 5 years before their eligible, and 19+ year olds should get 4 years before being eligible. Sometimes the game messes up with real players but they're good at tracking players drafted within the franchise.
Off-season is a process to me, I get the snacks the pin and paper cause I'm be look for certain draft players that have failed by the waist side. It take a good 2 hours for me
I think that’s why a lot of people do auto so they don’t have to sign so many players every year but I like it.
@@fiendfranchise I love, this the only franchise type game were I take the off-season seriously. Madden sim through most of the time, and NBA 2k over it 😂 over both of the games
the last point you made about spring training invites etc, the players on the 40 get invited up, but to send them back down before the regular season it uses one of their 3 options right? is there a way to not have them use an option besides leaving them off the 40 man?
It will use an option. As far as I know there’s no way to avoid it if you’re going to send them down.
Do you know why my available budget shows 30+ million but when I go to renew contracts it says I don't have enough money?
I’m not sure how accurate the budget screen is. If you’re going by the surplus on the off-season screens I’m not sure what would cause it.
I love your idea of writing down names of players you don't want to keep, and then releasing them. It's hard to keep track of who to sign and not until they eventually leave after the deadline. Also, in your experience, if I put a lot of cheap trash players on my AA squad and they don't win as many games, will that negatively impact any young prospects that are on that team in terms of development? I honestly don't care about wins at AAA and AA - just player development.
It shouldn’t affect development all to much. Your hitters will have less clutch opportunities and your pitchers may pitch fewer innings, but it won’t be a massive impact.
How do you get discovery to actually find prospects like the ones you get. Tried your strategy and 3 straight drafts never got any real gems via discovery scout
It is unfortunately just luck of the draw. My general strategy for discover is 3 weeks of pitcher in the two regions you are scouting, then the remaining 8 for position players. For that, choose between 2 weeks of infield and outfield for both international and central, or 1 week of infield and outfield for every region. It kind of depends on how good the first week of discovery goes whether I do a second one.
You might even be able to get away with only doing 2 weeks of discovering pitchers for each region, but I find discovering pitchers to be more consistent than discovering position players so I usually give them 3 weeks.
I’m here after I traded for a SP and a closer mid 20’s in the top 80’s from the Royals and the freaking CPU traded my starting pitcher to the Padres for bread crumbs in the offseason trying to fill my triple A and double A roster.
That’s rough. The cpu isn’t very good at trading
@@fiendfranchiseYeah the CPU just forgets it has desperate logic to automatically generate players to fill the minor leagues. This game also is super conservative on prospect development as you will never be able to farm a prospect who can immediately be a big league star like happens fairly frequently IRL (Julio, Wander Fucko, Chisholm Jr. etc)
How do you make the oakland A's into the Las Vegas A's?
@@dennis5783 at the very beginning
you have to choose the “rebrand team” option and give them the uniforms and assign them a stadium in Vegas. All of the assets to do it are in the vault.
@@fiendfranchise Ok sounds good thank you for helping me.
Yes but in terms of draft only how many of these things do you have to manually do yourself
this doesn't really apply to draft only. you'll have to watch the offseason episodes of my franchise for that. Plus I manually did everything myself in this scenario as well.
@@fiendfranchise I finally drafted an 80 overall fielder generational btw except I’ve come up with my own formula using your scouting set up though
@@tubby1366 very nice!
@@fiendfranchise I assign the gold slot to my scout with the highest position and efficiency then silver is pitching and bronze is discovery I prefer doing five weeks per region etc international central for pitchers and East and international for hitters I get fewer fully scouted but I still get enough to work with
What is your position breakdown for a 40 man roster. How many of each position
I don’t have one for a 40 man roster. Just whoever you have on your mlb team and whoever you’ve needed to protect from the rule 5 draft. I often don’t have all 40 positions filled.
How come I’m in 2026 and I keep getting kicked off my franchise team how do I renew my GM contract???
you can't. you have to set GM contract to off at the beginning of a franchise. or complete goals to get your contract renewed. the cpu decides whether or not to renew your contract based on your performance.
@@fiendfranchise Preciate it, I made a super young team so we’re ass but we were just getting better and I get kicked, guess I gotta start over
we talked about this earlier. can you make a sliders video even if you dont think its perfect. just something to go off of?
that's coming.
@fiendfranchise any update on the sliders video? I know you're busy with other stuff too. Also I've come to the conclusion that i only want to use the cubs in franchise snice they are my IRL team. So I'm making it a draft only franchise. Once players contracts expire they can only be replaced by drafted players.
@@Bdub-py1zp this week. Tomorrow or Thursday most likely.
@@fiendfranchise would you scout RP's and closers instead of SP's if you have a late round pick say 25 and higher?
@@Bdub-py1zp I'd still scout at least one region in SPs. For relievers, if you want to scout them I'd scout them individually in most cases. Like I did in my most recent season in my franchise series.
Do you manually sign minor league players at each position, and if so how many for each position at each level? This is where I struggle the most, is knowing how to restock the minors properly.
For position players, if you have injuries on, you probably need at a minimum of 7 catchers and 5 at every other position. For each level I'll have 2 catchers, 6 infielders, and 5 outfielders.
@@fiendfranchise thank you! Also what about SP, & RP/CP? For the infielders/outfielders, does it matter for example if AAA has one LF, while AA has 2? Or just as long as you follow the 6 & 5 rule, it doesn't matter for each position per say
sry for trying to get super specific, I just always mess it up it seems after signing the guys I want for the MLB team.
@@jeffpaul6292 20 of each. 6 sp and 7 bullpen per level. It doesn’t matter how many of each position as long as you have at least two players that can play each position
Ok, tail end of this video at 43:30ish seconds you talk about spring training. I understand that the game invites everyone on the forty man, but you explicitly say “you can uninvite them if you want.”
HOW.
This one spot of franchise is what is ruining my franchises, because I’m using up options left and right on young rookies. I had my pitching rotation decimated because I had gotten very lucky with pitching draft picks and I already had a stud rotation, but because the fucking game auto invites everyone on the 40 man, I got to a point where I had my starting rotation locked in for like 3 years, and then I had 4 young guys with options all used up in 2-3 years and I couldn’t send them down without going through waivers, which they WONT clear at all lmao.
wtf am I doing wrong with this portion of franchise, and how do I “uninvite” people?
Please help cause this is single handedly ruining this mode for me.
You can’t uninvite without using an option. Once you put someone on the 40 man roster they will either be playing on your major league squad or using an option not to. If you want to avoid using options, just wait until they are rule 5 eligible to add them to your 40 man roster. That gives you 4-5 years of development before you have to start using options. And if it takes longer than those 4-5 years plus the 3 option years to be mlb ready, then that guy is probably just a bust.
@@fiendfranchiseoh shit…I didn’t know that they had to be in the league for 5 years before being eligible for the rule 5 draft lol.
Welp. That explains it then! Thank you!
@@Troll-in-the-dungeon 4 years for people drafted at 19 or older and 5 years for 18 year olds.
let me guess they still have it to where franchise only keep up with awards for 3 years
@@LossLeadas on the awards screen yes but not on player cards
This game is good but it’s totally meant for autistics with a fascination with baseball cause who else would have taken the time to learn the league bylaws for contracts like I did xD
Sign Juan Soto and win. That’s sadly the extent of this game’s complexity unless you use self imposed rules
