I recently had my draft, and I went into check on my scouting and what I noticed was that all the players I drafted are still in the scouting player pool. The only thing I could think of was maybe it had something to do with the fact I had not signed them yet, but I tested by signing a guy and he was still there in the scouting screen as a potential pick. So now I'm figuring it's either completely screwy (and I wonder if it's not just my guys but all players from the past draft) or is there any chance players always stay there until the next season and it's simply something I've never noticed until now? Any info/comments appreciated.

This is the right thread for that.

It's because the game doesn't recognize them as part of your roster until the end of the year, because they can't play games. If they're not part of your roster, and they're not FAs, they have to go somewhere. They just stay in the pool.

Ok so Im just seeing this thread and its really made me look at how I develop players. My question is this..

Im using the Mets with Knights Rosters and Im wondering how I should go about developing guys. I have guys like Zack Wheeler who I started in AAA to begin the season and he struggled 3-4 ERA well over 3. Then he got hurt and after seeing this forum I put him back in AA. How should I go about developing him for the 1st of the season and in the future? Also is it ok to move guys up and down between AAA and AA when they are struggling/ playing well?

Also one last thing. I also have Matt Harvey on these Rosters and he's 12-2 1.56 ERA in AAA. Im thinking about calling him up soon just to see what he can do. We r in last place and 20 games below.500 so its not going to hurt the team. Good Idea or No?

- Thanks

Hey guys.


Always have had trouble getting prospects to develop properly.


How would you go about developing Julio Teheran and Arodys Vizcaino? Using OSFM rosters. Thanks.

I would look at Royals19s plan for Mike Montgomeery and go about that way

just did a draft in 2014 in my marlins franchise and in the past( in a different chise) i drafted a 3B with power at 82/86 right out of the draft and A pot. he was blocked by miggy at 3rd, but when he got up to the show he had 98/99 and CRUSHED the ball. but i digress, so in the 2014 draft i was looking around and saw that some guys had massive power (any where from 1/2 - 2/3) of the way full and really good contact and decent fielding and speed too, and i looked and saw that at least 3 players like this had F overall, and i was just like what? i would think some of them would be B's at least, so i was wondering how the game figured pot. in these drafts, i sort of feel it should be partly based on ratings for new players, and i didnt draft any of them because i knew they would never advance in my system. is the show scouting ever wrong?

And now I have 2 guys on cold streaks. 1 with an A potential and the other with a B. What do I do when guys get on cold streaks? Send them down? The B is in AA the A is in AAA



-Thanks

Generally, the higher the overall, the lower the potential. A C out of the draft is probably a D potential.

Keep the B in double A, and send down the A to double A.

Does anyone really care where I sent this from?

I wasn't sure where to post this question, whether I should in here or in a roster forum. So my question is, during a franchise do they have all the coaches a real team does? for instance are the base coaches accurate to the real base coaches for teams, and are the GMs featured in the game? and one last question, are there real life scouts in the game? thanks!

This isn't the right thread. I'd create a new thread on the main page.

I just finished the draft in my franchise. Drafted a C with A potential and a D with B potential. I will be using Royal's Development Guide, with some slight changes.
