    Re: MLB 14 The Show PS4: Road to the Show Thread

    I bombed the showcase.... Lol I got drafted in the 6th round by Seattle. I'm a Centerfielder that's rated a 99 with a D potential. I'm tearing up AA pitching batting a .382 18 bombs 49 RBIs 18 SBs, through 35 games doesn't look like I'm going anywhere soon... Does anyone know how you raise your potential? I'm the franchises highest rated CF ever other CF is trending down.
    I figure that's the only reason why I don't get a call up

      You'll have to use those x/y axis graphs and do it yourself, you can probably get a pretty close approximation. There are options under "eyes" that should yield a close enough result.

        Had a SP transferred over from the PS3 that I created earlier. Messed up the Showcase and was drafted in the last round by the Orioles with a D potential. Signed and did really well. First month or so dominated my games, with a 1.09 ERA. Moved up to AAA after that month or two and completed the season there. By the end of the season I had a 15-1 record with 1.59 ERA. Wanted to play for the Tides in the playoffs but got called up to the Orioles, where I pitched a total of 5 games the last month, with a 4-0 record and 2.89 ERA. Obviously wasn't eligible for the playoffs, and looks like I'll be sent down to the Tides again after the offseason.

        I created a new SP, and probably will continue with this one since I'm using Knight's rosters. Created him with maxed power, and evened out the control and break stats. His first three pitches are 4SFB, 12-6 Curve, and Slider. I will eventually add a circle change and a cutter or 2SFB to complete the arsenal (if you have other suggestions please let me know!). Aced the showcase (his fastball is deadly, reaching over 100mph, but control is very wild lol), only allowing 2 hits in 9 innings, no walks, and 9 K's. Projected a mid first round pick, got picked up by the Orioles again! I do have it saved prior to the draft again so I'll run the draft one more time and if not the team I like I'll stay with the Orioles.

          How did you get to a 99 while still in AA? That takes a HUGE amount of points.

            Have a power hitting 1B. Drafted in the second round by the Red Sox. Only four first basement in the organization. Ortiz sitting at top. He's 38 so hopefully he will be retiring soon and I can move up.

            First at bat in my first AA game I send a solo shot over the left field fence. Went 2/4 in the game with both hits being home runs.

            Played the month of April and my OVR is about four points higher than the starting AAA 1B. He's only batting .195 with a couple hits. I'm around .323 leading the league in HRs and 2nd in RBIs.

            Hoping to get called up soon.

              I used my preorder stubs on my RTTS player, got to a 89 overall, big mistake.

              I ended up getting called up in May 2014 as a 18 year old 3b for the Red Sox. Ended my rookie season pretty good though, but just seems unrealistic to me.

              Also, 3B gets basically no opportunities, i feel lucky to get 3 fielding chances a game, usually get 1 or 2. So i ended up switching to RF even though i want to play 3B.

                I got 30,000 stubs from gamestop for reserving and had got another 30,000 from a friend who reserved it and took it back so my Rtts player got 60,000 Rtts points to start off

                  35 games I'm hitting a respectable .290 with 1 HR and 8 RBI. I know nothing fancy but I'll take it. I have 10 walks though. Which beats my season high I must be seeing the ball better this year..

                    Let us know if the game starts kicking your butt with stat degradation. I've got a theory, and that theory is you just wasted all your gift points on a player who's about to fall back to Earth quicker than Icarus.

                      I will do that the only difference I've noticed is that I've been intentionally walked a lot more now

                        These 30,000 stub points, is it one time use only? So if I used it on RTTS player A, when I start player B will I be able to use those points on that player too?

                          One time only.Personally, I refuse to use Stubs to buy training points for my RTTS player. But that is just me and my desire to feel like I earned my ranking all on my own.

                              Broke down and picked up the game last night. Started a RTTS, SS/3B with dynamic difficulty. Had a good Topps series, got drafted by KC in the first round. I wasn't thrilled with KC so went back to school for 2 years. I didn't realize you go back to the Topps showcase. I was awful and fell to the White Sox in the 5th round. Decided to go back two school 2 more years and played better the 3rd time around but not as well as the first. Some how I fell to Florida in the 6th round which was a bummer.

                              I'm not sure where to put my points. Right now I am focusing on contact and plate discipline. Got through my second game in the minors last night and came up with a hit in the 9th that setup the game winning run for the next batter.

                                Started my very first ever RTTS (XBOX guy prior to PS4) with a SS/INF named Alonzo Ventura. I'm modeling him after Jose Reyes, but I didn't clone him after him, so he's a very fast guy with minimal power.

                                I ended up getting drafted in the 3rd round by the Red Sox. I picked them on my own because I feared I'd get stuck on the Padres or Marlins or someone I didn't want to be apart of. I'll be using the Royals in GM mode, so I didn't want to get KC'd out by using them in RTTS as well.

                                Anyway, I predictably stunk it up most of my first season, hitting .240 on the year, however I moved up from AA to AAA by the end of the season when I finally started to figure out how to hit. I was even on the 60 DL at one point with a broken ankle which I thought was pretty cool.

                                Anyway, I was put on the 40 man roster in Spring Training and actually made the MLB roster heading into the season. I'm basically a utility guy right now so I'm almost wishing I was back in AAA so I could get more points towards my guy. I'm rated in the low 70s right now.

                                It's pretty fun though. MUCH more fun than the 2k clone I was suffering through on XBOX.
