How To ALWAYS Draft An OP Draft Class In MLB The Show 23!! 

Yeah I agree with you, I usually scout international and east SP at some point in my scouting just for those late round picks that won't be taken before that

Hey man in interested to know cause I did some discovery and found some good guys high rank that were not rank by MLB so they drop. The first three weeks so you get high efficiency high discovery and do all three scouts for discovery? Then grab High efficiency, positional and pitching?

@@TheEru88 Yeah I've refined it over the past week to just using two of my high discovery high-efficiency scouts on finding new talent, the key for me has been focusing on international prospects as that talent pool seems the largest from all regions so you get that bang for your buck - I usually get around 5-7 new prospects on the books each week that way then I pick from the best of that crop - you're right to mention the MLB normally sleeps on the guys you discover so you can load up on great talent late since they seem to always slide

@@JD-fl4dz This is interesting. I buy this game every year but I never make it through a season so I just sim the draft and stuff but this year I want to try to make it through a few years and sim a bit. So I'm focusing in on the draft a lot more. There is a lot that goes into it that seems fun that I had no idea about.

Glad I could help!

I’m glad I could help!

Me too I was 3 years deep in franchise and wasn’t starting over for 24. Now I’m 10 years deep. Only got like 5 players from that first team left on team

The issue I’ve had is I’ve yet to see a generational player. I’ve been through 10+ classes now and the best player I’ve seen was a 75A in the entire league. Typically with my method I’m the one grabbing those players too, and other teams pick up the scraps

@@JacobReid lol 😂 some people I Know of have seen 10-15 my ass had a draft where the best player on the whole class was a 65 89 or a 54 95 😂. I finally got a draft where at 30 I picked a 67 97 and the number 2 pick was a 81 99 with 99 speed and all mid. 60’s numbers

@@JacobReid I think just mention if you see an 18 year old with 61-90 overall or something like that early that he could be a stud

@@nickbacherbaronsoc7193 I feel like it would be so satisfying to get that 80 overall player. I can’t wait til one does eventually pop up in one of my franchises

@@nickbacherbaronsoc7193 really good point. I plan to make more videos on this, so I won’t leave that info out

Thank you for supporting the channel!!

How do you know their potential and overall tho with the possible ranges being so wide

@@JohnM-sw4sc I dont but the difference between the lowest potential - lowest overall and highest potential - highest overall is the same. So I use that number and assume that I when I draft the player, his actual Potential - Overall will be the same difference between the hi or low potential minus actual numbers. So if I draft a 22 yr old that is has a difference of 30 in potential - overall, I assume he has to increase by an average of 4.29 each year (30/(29-22)) to reach his potential. If they have not reached their potential by 29, I assume they will not continuously increase to make it unless they are really close. Basically I am trying to measure how much work has to be done to reach potential by age 29 if a draft a given prospect

No, thank you for your support!

Dude teach me

I’ll have to try this out! I’m open to the idea of it

International pitchers I especially encourage everyone to discover.

Really happy to hear this method is working!

I don’t know, I’ve seen so many people comment about going so hard on pitchers. It just doesn’t seem necessary to me. I can get A potential 18 year olds across the board at positions I need. I could do the pitchers thing, but then you just have extra leg work because you have too many pitchers you need to move for other prospects. Then you get into a conversation about realism

Thanks!

Im glad you like the channel! Age is definitely an important factor! Don’t overlook age differences

The AI will reach for players based on their true talent. I haven’t seen many players fall, so I just take the best player I know about in any given scenario

Other teams could have those players ranked within there system tho. I have had players taken in front of me that were not ranked by MLB but were top talents in the draft according to my scouts. It’s hit or miss but other teams will take your number 1 guy even if he isn’t ranked by MLB he could be ranked number 1 on their board to just depends. I hope this helps you.

I’ve definitely had players taken that were unranked and good before. AI do a decent job at scouting sometimes. Also they mostly end up being really low overall and take ages to grow to their potential.

Pretty sure you need the interest level to be at least 50%

Unfortunately MLB just isn’t that advanced. We’ve been asking for common sense updates for years

THIS! I only played MyGM like 1 time, but I remember the progression and regression sliders being a thing. You could even adjust the ages a player’s prime would be between. My number 1 issue with MLB the Show is the exact opposite of Madden. In Madden, it’s fun to draft and develop players, but the gameplay sucks. In MLB, the players take 2-6 years to develop into true stars, and while the variance and bust potential are very realistic, they will only be their max overall for like 3-4 seasons before they start to regress. I personally wish you could make it so that players only regress in the offseason like Madden does even though the slow decline over the course of the season is more realistic. To me, MLB franchise just takes too long to get interesting if you’re doing a realistic rebuild unless you are a team with a big budget. Players do take a long time to develop in many cases, but they are good for 7-10 years sometimes as opposed to 2-3.

It’s after you sign your picks

Press r2 or l2

Not a dumb question! I’ve gotten this one a few times actually, and it’s not as simple as you’d think. You have to wait til after the signing period. On or after august 1st you’ll be able to see their official ratings and potential!

@@JacobReid thanks, very helpful. You got yourself another subscriber.

@@nicholaspeterson5925 thank you for subscribing!

You can change them each week depending on who you want to scout so you get as much interest as possible. It has no negative impact on the scouting

I believe on or around august 1st, which is the end of the signing period, you can then view that screen at the bottom of the franchise menu. It says something like “view drafted players”

@@JacobReid thank you

Good question. Something I need to look into

It’s just telling you where they’re coming out of. HS = High school player JC-1 = they’re a sophomore coming out of a junior college and 4th YR = senior out of college and so on

I find that the low-rated A’s and B’s are far more valuable for future trades. I see them as assets to the organization, which allow you to package up and help your team where it really needs it

@@JacobReid If you compare the "interest" of a low rated A player and a higher rated C player, the bar is nearly always higher for the C player if they're near the same age.

You will see it after the signing period. On or after august 1st

I’ve found the top players in every single class without ever discovering new players

That’s one way to do it lol

@@JacobReid lol I'm not ashamed that I've done this a few times .. when you start with the tigers the pirates of the nationals you deserve a 99 generation talent with 80 plus overall.. when I start a franchise I sim the first season to the draft to make sure I get 1... I have gotten 2 before..and to make sure I'm playing fair I don't get ohtani since he's a free agent every year but I do snatch 87 pitcher servio
