Hey, as someone who nearly exclusively plays franchise mode, there are a couple things that could help you. First, the overall ratings for the prospects are their overall's at the time of being drafted, with their potential's being their "ceiling" or max potential (position players that are 18, with an overall at ~80 have a high chance at having a 99 potential). Second tip, hiring staff (both coaches and scouts) is very important. For scouts, ideally all of them should have high scouting efficiency as this helps build the players interest in signing with the team. Next, i would also recommend that you set 2 scouts (ideally with over 90 efficiency and pitcher accuracy) to scout the starting pitching position for the east, central, west, and international zones (if each zone is scouted for 7 weeks, you can scout almost every starting pitcher in the draft) and leave one scout for position players. TheAntOrtiz has a couple scouting guides on his channel. If you are wondering why you only have one scout for position players, it's because it is nearly impossible to get a good one later than the first round, meaning that basically all of your draft picks (for maximum efficiency) should be starting pitchers (besides the first round if there is a position player that you like). Keep in mind that you can trade the good pitchers that you get for any good position players that other teams may end up drafting. Edit, If you are looking for extra outfielders, GET TRAVIS JANKOWSKI. He almost always ends up playing well over a full season, especially if you have him hitting leadoff, and playing in centerfield.
At 40:12 guerrero hit .311 with 57hr and 150 RBI Hes nestled right in between soto who hit .277 with 44 hr and devers who hit .289 38hr amd 109 rbi. Omg that 3-4-5 is fucking insane
In case you ever try this again, one of the few last tips you need to know to help manage better in offseason When you try to sign or extend players…change their roles(depending on player) and if it’s somebody you really want, make the payout “back end pay” most players gain more interest like that
Settings > user settings > mode specific > injury management > MLB only. This changes it to only notify you to make a lineup change when an mlb player gets injured. Way less notifications.
Kevin, the overall on scouting prospects is the overall they currently are. The potential range is their potential overall. Also you shouldn’t just scout 3 players and call it good. Scout positions and regions and change it like every so often once they’re fully scouted. You can also scout individual players but you’re not going to be able to scout nearly as many as when you scout a position
This is legitimately the best video presentation I have seen for MLB the show franchise mode. I have been a die hard FIFA / Madden player. Just got into the game. It’s insane. Love it. I was cracking up folding my family of 5’s clothes.
I've noticed also that Bobby Witt is super easy to trade for in franchise. I think it's just bc of his big contract, for some reason in this game it's easier to trade for a player who just got a big contract than a player in their last year of arb. Not sure if it's still like that if you are trading with a playoff caliber team, but irl he's probably as close to untradable as you could be so this should def be changed.
Yea Franchise mode is kinda broken, when I first got.the game I did a Jays franchise and the computer accepts a Justin Turner/Alex Manoah for Bobby Witt Jr trade...in fact I think you could also get Mikhail Garcia if you included a D potential player too. It was pretty stupid.
Key to shutting down teams in crucial situations, is to stop simulation and actually play out the inning as pitcher because it seems that the computer will screw it all up.
Next time try to sign some younger players with A potential and around a 80 overall to start. They are much cheaper and just as good you also have alot more control of them. And for drafting sign new and better scouts as soon as you start. You will be giving more accurate stats on them. Also for scouting use the scout position button it will scout a bunch of players at the same time.
For future rebuilds kev, use custom sliders and turn down the injury frequency. I have no clue why the sim has always been so injury heavy in this game but it’s a million times more enjoyable if you just go in and turn it down some
Oh God!!!....Kevin, are you gonna do a real rebuilt or are you gonna be one of those crazy owners who rebuilt everything through free agency? You know, like the crazy guy who bought the A's a few days ago, lol........
How come you can’t trade draft picks in mlb the show. Or can you. I’m new the game. Would help with making more trades instead of player for player trades.
22:18 Kevin not realizing he left Kevin Gausman in the whole time
Kevin has returned after getting Passan’d. Never expected him to come back this soon!

Why does Kevin want to see gausman suffer so much
😂😂

Hes nestled right in between soto who hit .277 with 44 hr and devers who hit .289 38hr amd 109 rbi.
Omg that 3-4-5 is fucking insane
Bellinger with a cool .276-35-82 from the 7 hole
Why does every RUclipsr who plays this mode fail to realize when you select auto utilize on anything it’s going to reset your lineup lmao
Lmao Gausman left in the game for 21 runs haha
Kevin rebuilding a random NCAA college football team would be the best content ever (him knowing nothing about football)
He watches football I’m pretty sure, I think he’s a (don’t quote me) jets fan
@@Austin-oq6gm He has the accent of a Jets fan.
He has played on MADDEN before, and very good

Kevin means business when he half ass ties a tie

BTW I NEED MORE
please keep doing these rebuildings
This time he has raw emotion invested in the process if they fail
The cut to Kevin in a tie saying "Not Today." Pure cinema.
17:26 Bro thought Drew Waters was Dylan Crews
Sir, The Blue Jays Are Not The Same This Year, I Hope They Can Turn It Around.

If he keeps playing like this, that contract may very well be a steal
WE NEEDED THIS BLUE JAYS PLEASE HIGHER KEVIN FOR THE GM SPOT ROSS YOU SUCK
Yea Franchise mode is kinda broken, when I first got.the game I did a Jays franchise and the computer accepts a Justin Turner/Alex Manoah for Bobby Witt Jr trade...in fact I think you could also get Mikhail Garcia if you included a D potential player too. It was pretty stupid.
Not me screaming PUT VARSHO IN CENTRE FIELD
I decided to watch this video while I fall asleep. The video finishes and I'm wide awake and I check the time and it's 2:06 AM... yikes
These franchise videos are EPIC
This guy has a great way of talking and reacting!
Juts found out about you today now one of my favorite mlb the show content creators
"I Rebuilt the Most DIFFICULT MLB Franchise"
and it wasnt the Marlins?
Absolutely loved this! Was cheering, laughing pissing meself, head in my hands!!! All the emotions watching this!!! Subscribed!!! 😂
"Bo gets a single, Vlad walks... Oh my shit devers hit a triple"
2 seconds later
"We scored 2 runs. What happened? I didn't even see"
Lol
Tbh love this series of videos! Keep it up!
WE DID IT KEVIN!!!! CHAMPS!! GO CRAZY FOLKS!
2 back to back rebuilds? That’s what I like
Key to shutting down teams in crucial situations, is to stop simulation and actually play out the inning as pitcher because it seems that the computer will screw it all up.
Kevin back as being the general manager. Make the Jays great again
My Angels would absolutely DESTROY your Blue Jays in every form !

And for drafting sign new and better scouts as soon as you start. You will be giving more accurate stats on them.

Honestly step 1 of doing this in real life is getting rid of both Atkins and Shapiro
After what we’ve just seen in hip hop this past month, Toronto beating LA is just ironic
You putting Devers in a blue jay uniform is sickening to me! 😂 -Red Sox fan!
Lineups are getting messed up if you are “auto fixing” the lineups when players are no longer injured
now for the truly impossible task...rebuilding the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL)
Loving the franchise mode videos. Hopefully you keep it going
For future rebuilds kev, use custom sliders and turn down the injury frequency. I have no clue why the sim has always been so injury heavy in this game but it’s a million times more enjoyable if you just go in and turn it down some
Love this series please keep them coming
I recommend turning injury down in the sliders in future rebuilds. Whenever I am playing franchise mode I feel like every two days I have an injury
Now we need a Toronto Maple Leafs rebuild lol
That year 2 team with Soto was stackeddd
I think after you worked Gausman wlel beyond the point of exhaustion with the 21 run game, he made it his life mission to fuck with you
22:15 so when do yall think he’ll learn he needs to make the pitching changes?
That was super entertaining… Great Job Kevin
Enjoy you rebuilding your squad! Can’t wait to see what they do this trade deadline
“Bring him to the back alley and I’m coming out with a shotgun” is crazy lol
this was an amazing journey. Soto was a huge signing, and DEVERS!!
The White Sox are in a bigger mess than any other mlb team at the moment and it’s not even close
Theres two lineups LHP w DH and RHP w DH
I'd love to see Kevin try and rebuild a team in Out of the Park, now that would be entertaining
for blue jays age, we did it all
diss someone else
Will Smith won the game by striking out Will Smith
Kevin’s been petrified from BR
you know diamond dynasty is cooked when we're getting franchise videos in May
the dodgers have inexplicably started Gavin Stone at DH 1:06:04
Kevin, do the Mets next please !
The only person who can get me hyped watching franchise mode 😊😂
Bro started a "rebuild" by trying to trade for Rafael Devers and Kenley Jansen 😅😅
Happy that the Blue Jays win in Kevin's dreams at least
Game 3 vs Houston had blue jays mariners vibes almost
I love how he traded Kirk 12 times and yet he was still on the team XD
as a canadian who’s only happy time in baseball was bautista/pillar etc this is a must watch
Kevin almost went to Murky Waters
This video was epic. Great work sir
kevins dream blue jays win world series.
Never seen your channel before this video was very cool and good
I love these kinds of videos!
Hey Kevin when doing contracts the option let’s you give them the star role and they accept more contracts
It literally told you to take Gausman out and you sat there like an idiot.
If you quick manage the game you have to manually change the pitcher lol. That was terrible
Love these videos man, not sure if you can, but can you do one of the teams that haven't won a world series yet? Also Vlad for MVP
Kevin is gonna be in shambles when Vlad gets dealt irl at the deadline.
not happening bum
Death Taxes and the Dodgers choking the playoffs
Holby Milner is consistent from everytmie I've signed him
This guy is actually funny i subscribed just cause he is funny idc about mlb
might be the funniest gm mode ive ever watched
Start with an updated roster. Gausman is a 75 and Bichette is a 76
You should make another one of these but you can only sim and don't leave until you win world series
Go into the settings and automate minor league injuries. Its just not there on the settings when you are creating the franchise
I was wondering he took a week off. He elected into a week of pain instead
Oh God!!!....Kevin, are you gonna do a real rebuilt or are you gonna be one of those crazy owners who rebuilt everything through free agency? You know, like the crazy guy who bought the A's a few days ago, lol........
these are outstanding - great work
You can have an elite bullpen with a lower overall, they just need high H/9 and BB/9
Mets fan here, welcome to our humble abode. We have good snacks and a box of tissues
KEVIN SAVE TROUT, REBUILD THE ANGELS FOR KOOGS
Bring your talent to the Rockies Kevin
Turn injuries off next time. It’s not worth the annoyance
Blue jays in real life are in a tough situation there not bad to tank and get a good pick but not good enough to compete for the world series
Kevin makes worse pitching decisions than montoyo
5:57 yes it is
Welcome to Behind baseball with Jordan Peterson. I know this can't be an original joke but for its mine for what its worth. Haha
For the love of god Kevin take your pitcher out when you’re quick managing
How come you can’t trade draft picks in mlb the show. Or can you. I’m new the game. Would help with making more trades instead of player for player trades.
MLB teams can’t trade draft picks
Kevin’s double and single A teams are so bad I made it
