Sounds good
Also agree about the injuries, 10 games in and my starting catcher, 1B and RF done for 6-8 weeks.

I don't think people are asking to disable them, just lower the frequency. I haven't run enough season sims to form an opinion yet.
There will be blood
Yeah, that's fine. I've not tinkered with the controls for league admin.
7 days per sim, plan on simming every night during the season. There will be times when we'll have a bit longer between sims (last day of ST, draft, etc.) when we have important stuff that needs to get done and times when we don't sim 7 days (during free agency for example).
But the general plan is we sim every a week every day (which will realistically be four or five times a week, I have shit to do too!)

Think the injuries may be small sample size.
Simmed two full seasons so far, have not run into injury epidemics.
Oh I've had season ending injuries in the two seasons I've run, but I wouldn't say the frequency of major injuries was alarming, or outside of my own perceived norms. I could be totally wrong and just lucky though. Small sample size.

Injuries have been significantly increased in OOTP 14 and OOTP 15. Two full seasons without significant injury is an outlier in my experience, but I hope so!

Lol what happened to your managers?
Just in case you know MLB The Show will be broken and are going to give it a shot anyways:

I think it was some minor league managers, apparently they pulled their hamstrings or something go figure.

Yea I think this might be the case. I'm looking at GP stats for each team at the end of my first season, everything seems to be where you would expect in terms of games played. Not to mention my old ass Yankees are probably more prone to injury than most.

The in game lighting has been altered.
It's like they added an unnecessary vowel or something.
Oh weird, it looks cartoony almost?

Stream is playing a Blue Jays franchise. Extra vowels are mandatory.
Expect me to correspond using extra vowels during the season.

I started a league last night to begin learning the ropes and right out of the gate I had literally no money to put towards extensions. It was to the point that I couldn't even negotiate with players. Is this something unique about the Reds finances or am I missing something?
Also my owner is oddly obsessed with me extending Kevin Gregg for some reason. Maybe he has a glasses fetish.

You'll receive money during the season through home games. Should be able to offer extensions by the end of the season. At least I think that's how it works.
Do they do anything if "can't be fired" is set? I've never really paid attention to them.
They've never been so specific before, but yeah if you consistently underperform there can be significant financial ramifications. I've had budgets slashed for awful seasons.
I had two goals in one of the Brewers sims I ran which were very specific and one was impossible, extend Gomez. Gomez refused to negotiate. The other was sign a hometown kid. Fuck you Mark!
I kinda like it even though I regret offering 20 mil to my third starter. He must've been blackmailing reinsdorf. Adds a bit more flavor to each season. Though I don't partially care for my current goal of raising my fielding percentage. Who cares about defense? Just hit more home runs.
I think it's interesting for solo games, gives some goals and objectives for the uncreative, but I don't like it if it dictates the way people feel they need to manage their rosters in a full online league. Especially if they are going to be arbitrary as fuck like "sign a dude from Wisco"
Yeah didn't think they would get that specific. Though I like the idea of owners demanding you keep a player. You should then be able to talk him out of it.

resign Kevin gregg, wtf? my goals have been pretty normal ones. play .500, improve the LF position (damn you Grandy man 
) and something about build a team to get into the playoffs in like 5 years.

Signed Olivera and a few international FAs to the Braves in my practice season. One had 20 HR power potential but the Angels kept outbidding me so I had to keep increasing my offer now I think I'm going to lose money this season. I increased my ticket prices by 50 cents at the beginning of the season but that just made less people come to the games lol. If I could just get rid of BJ Upton's overpaid contract! At least I'm first in the division!

Agreed...that sort of thing you can disable/override right?
Will wait, it's always been a nightmare before. Hope there are some good impressions.

This is to control your OOTP teams on the go?
No it's a stripped down version of the full game with a brain dead sim engine
I wish.
Believe we're holding out for opening day rosters.
Update #1 just went live earlier today.
