MLB 12 The Show: Red Sox Franchise EP1

Welcome to the first episode of my Boston Red Sox Franchise in MLB 12 The Show. Looking to rebound from a terrible collapse at the end of the 2011 Season, The Red Sox are back to prove they belong in the post season.

@timjr52 they had transportation budgets but I don't remember being asked whether to use bus or plane? was that aspect in last year? if so I must have had it turned off.

[@jediaron1]

SGU, you are great! I am a die hard sox fan. Great start. Looking forward to future episodes.

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@JTube48 Yes I have but it has been a while. Last time I went to Red Sox spring training it was like 40 degrees, windy and rainy.

[@twigstudios]

Hey Nadas looks like another great series in the making. I have suggestions on how to play this franchise:play 2/3 games or the rubber match out of the most intriguing series i.e. Angels, Yankees, Tigers. Play out games only against division leaders, interesting pitching match-ups or inter-league play. Sim series against any opponents that are out of contention. This would help you post as much as you can but still maintain the integrity of the series. BTW love your channel...

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

Some days I respond, some I don't. I figure if people write comments I have the right to write back once in a while :D

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@videogameplayer17 Awesome, thanks for watching!

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@jediaron1 Thanks, I knew this series would be a lightning rod due to nature of Red Sox/Yankees rivalry, etc.

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@Inyourhouse1394 Awesome thanks for joining me :-)

[@lager5002]

good to see my home team on the show and its the st. pattys day parade in southie right now too..what a day

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@hockeymaniac828 Twins franchise already ongoing in MLB 11 The Show, not interested in repeating.

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@bweaglesbb4 LOL yes that is the plan, and I will have a lot more time to do it very soon here.

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

Who would you have picked? Just Curious :-)

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@pudman00 He's not licensed in the game apparently, just like Belichick in Madden

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@TonyDanza4Lyfe I have baserunning assist on because I way too often screw up my base runners while controlling manually.

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@mollo29 Thank you very much, I appreciate that :-) Still trying to get Joe Broadway to the Yanks BTW.

[@chrischarnogursky663]

First the twinkies and now the red sox? com on man you're killing me

[@chrischarnogursky663]

yeah i just finished up watching those, i love the anchorman reference by the way hahaha

[@themonsterman128]

Same thing happened to me... I was playing a phillies franchise against the D-Backs and Chris Young made a amazing catch

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@HomeofthetheBraves No worries, it's the nature of picking a team to roll with, not everyone is gonna like the choice :-)

[@ThomasCarrieri]

YES!!!! A Red Sox Franchise.

[@TheMafiamobster]

Yeah!!! GO RED SOX! Thank you Nadasfan!!

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@bigmetsfan123 Twins and Red Sox are like 1A and 1B for me really. I've been to Fenway Park on 3 different trips (1991, 2001, 2011). I've told my wife that when I go, she has orders to somehow someway scatter my ashes at Fenway.

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@darthvaderize The Show no contest. 2K12 is my kick around back up game when I need a break from the show.

[@UWBadgersfan28]

Schedule promotions..on the play game menu thing where you can play or simulate the game, for home games, you ahve the option to schedule promotions.

[@MidKnightMellow]

Bobby Valentine could care less about the palyers. Hewas bummed about taking the bus because of his chronic hemorroid condition. Good vid.

[@MrSilentSanta]

Also, nadasfan, just another heads up. In Franchise and Season modes all of the weekday games start at 7PM and all of the weekend games begin at 1PM. Just a little glitch or something, doesn't affect anything though.

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@iSnowmannn Nope I'm from Minnesota but have always identified with the Red Sox for some reason. Fenway Park is heaven for me :-)

[@micahjones81]

@SportsGamingUniverse It was there, but it's only on games that are a short distance away.

[@DaRealElChiaUSA]

Thats awesome with the special promo stuff

[@JTube48]

@SportsGamingUniverse Have you been to Fort Myers and if so (Since I'm going there) what should I do there

[@eats49]

as a mets fan i really dont care who you use other then the dity little team across the city (not going say it) so i will deffenetly enjoy this video series keep it up and put out more of these then you did with the twins franchise plz

[@orton741]

im a huge sox fan thank you so much

[@Reillyod]

What settings are you using? Such as difficulty , pitching and batting ways. Like Meter, or classic? Pure analog, or classic?

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

Thanks!

[@wanaco1234]

I missed 11 and 12 both have the exact franchise features? Did 12 take any away? I want to get yes in 2022 I would love to have complete control of franchise. Thanks

[@reliablethreat23]

I miss all these features of franchise mode!!! Hopefully they bring them back for MLB 14!

[@edwingonzalez919]

9 years later abd none of these request have come

[@KobeDoinWork97]

Man.. I hate the redsox but I love this franchise your doing. Your a great commentator

[@soloisrollin777]

as a Sox fan I approve of this series lol

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

I've got the Padres (for now anyway) in my RTTS this year :-)

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@bigmetsfan123 86 Mets if only because of the Red Sox Curse factor.

[@199412leo]

THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!!! THANKS MAN LETS GO RED SOX!!!

[@BrutalxZeke]

thy brought transportation back from 07 the show for ps2

[@MrSilentSanta]

@SportsGamingUniverse You could choose bus/plane last year, yes.

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@samster317 Thanks :-)

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@PADRESCHARGERS4EVER Yeah we will swipe some bags at times.

[@Mrsexyrevolution]

Just so you know, the transport option is also in MLB 11 the show ;) but you don't get feed back from the manager

[@bradf5362]

can you do a fantasy draft? im struggling with them and i want to play with different players

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@jkboy200 It's ok man, I'm pretty sure I would watch a Green Bay Packers Franchise in Madden 12 even though I'm a Vikings fan :-)

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

me? I'm 35, why does it make a difference for anything?

[@atomicgiraffe250]

Holy crap. If you're gonna do a franchise with Bobby Valentine, then you ought to do a franchise in Madden with Rex Ryan. Valentine is like a skinny old version of Rex Ryan lol...

[@mgrleaf]

How do you get the standings to show up on the right of the calender???

[@PADRESCHARGERS4EVER]

Champ Kind episode 3 soon? Sorry i want a lot of Champ but it is so exciting having someone who plays for my team's organization on SGU! :)

[@PercNowitzki]

@SportsGamingUniverse can pedroia hit the high and inside

[@joshbricker4139]

how did u make it were you can give away things like bobble heads and stuff?

[@insanepredator0]

How is flying gonna make them less tired? Are they each driving their own bus non-stop overnight?

[@Mrcfstudios]

Nads could you show all of the yankees series games?

[@MidKnightMellow]

@insanepredator0 - There wasn't as day off between games which does take a toll on fatigued players. It's about a one hour flight in comfort or a 3 hour bus ride in a little less comfort. Mangers always want their players as well rested as possible. From a budget stand point of saving over $28,000 dollars, those guys can suck it up.

[@hockeymaniac828]

@Snowmannn. He is from minisota

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@98HoFFman Gotta do what you gotta do, ha ha.

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@canucksbro500 It's on All-Star

[@jckeitha]

wow this is great you should try out for NESN your a great commentator! :)

[@chrischarnogursky663]

I'd go with my white sox :P but the pirates, dbacks, padres or some small market team is always fun and challenging to do

[@Paulisdead1000]

great vid, great commentary.

[@PADRESCHARGERS4EVER]

Do you plan on stealing bases with the Sox's speedsters (Ellisbury, Crawford, Pedroia)

[@fathershousechurch3502]

you are amazing I appreciate you

[@ofpveteran73]

I'll bet the Red Sox will watch this series in their clubhouse during games lol. (-;

[@xXxDaPhEnOmxXx]

awww i was hoping for a jays franchise but wtvr ill still watch

[@benbrowntex1]

@samster317 thats correct ( coming from an astros fan)

[@kbman3288]

how do you feild balls, do you turn it on or somthin

[@xDevita]

What difficulty do u play on? Pitching and batting

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@66thunderman Throwbacks

[@JWutsch]

can you do a playthrough with the Miami Marlins

[@iamawesome123100]

@bigmetsfan123 so how's the mets doing?

[@SirHillis]

You could choose between bus and flight in MLB the show 11 aswell ;)

[@66thunderman]

I like the detroits new jerseys or have they had them

[@Zander_251]

The Astros suck right now, so if you're doing a Franchise with them (or the Cubs, Padres, or Twins) in MLB 12, you'll want to rebuild them by trading away their veterans with expiring contracts for minor league prospects, and you'll want to get some good prospects through the draft, too. And hopefully, all of the prospects will reach their potentials when they get to the Majors.

[@epwoessner]

Do more Joe Broadway 11!! plz i love those videos!!!! plz respond!

[@NYG1991]

@TheJLJuke - That's a no brainer. The Twins hands down.

[@PADRESCHARGERS4EVER]

@bigmetsfan123 yah but the Mets didn't have to overcome a 10.5 game deficit to get to the playoffs and beat the two best teams in the NL and then beat the AL's 2nd best team in that miracle comeback

[@bobtiff4929]

wow u are so cool and i always hit home runs with david ortis

[@caqlvinjames3863]

sounds good I thought I was watchinh ESPN!

[@Matthew_Calmert]

This should be awesome.

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@SuperHobogaming Not according to Kevin Butler LMAO!

[@gridion109]

YES!!! GO RED SOX!!!!!

[@RedSoxfan95]

5:52 isnt that just a game-made manger cuz his name is "Billy Hart".

[@savammy]

you should audition for the voice commentator for next years game.better than the current ones.

[@Juopie1990]

jacoby elssbury is one of my favourite player :D

[@TheJLJuke]

if the Twins and Sox faced in the playoffs, who would you cheer for?

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@God62698 Sorry man, gotta go with what I want to play :-)

[@Teaganperry64]

Move the right analog stick or L1 and R1

[@SportsGamingUniverse]

@micahjones81 ah ok, I see :-)

[@God62698]

@SportsGamingUniverse no problem man i was just joking, but i gotta root against you in these videos LOL

[@PADRESCHARGERS4EVER]

[@123avdb4]

[@TheMSpence89]

Cant believe they didn't even get their manager right

[@PADRESCHARGERS4EVER]

@God62698 Yankees fan?

[@scooby149999]

@darthvaderize That's not even a close question.

[@canucksbro500]
