MLB 14 The Show PS4: Road to the Show Thread

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

I'm struggling, as expected. Through my first 5 games my stats look like this - .100 (2 - 20), 0 HR, 1 RBI, 0 walk, 1 K, 3 errors

I'm really hoping they send me down to Triple-A, I'm barely getting any training points due to my struggling.

The struggle will continue to get real but they won't send you down just yet unless they have someone in Triple AAA doing well above average in your position. Keep at it and remain patient at the plate and keep developing your Plate Vision. You will eventually find a break through as long as you keep to your players strengths.

I pretty much have to start a new RTTS because of my idiotic team. Hitting .300 and I'm still only getting used for pinch hit opportunities. They refuse to trade me, and I'm sick of taking 2 minutes to load ONE at bat just so I can get taken out anyways. Simply garbage.

I'm glad I put all these hours into a save data for this to happen. Not.

Yeah this was my frustration my second year with the Red Sox also hated getting shifted around the lineup. I kept request Trade after trade but it eventually evened out the following year when I fully established myself I also. I did not like how my guy has over 85+ Durability and they still had me sitting out games when I was playing well.

I didn't even think about durability having anything to do with me not playing everyday. I thought it was mainly for injuries. Guess I need to bump that up a little more.

this same experience and i posted this several days ago. I had not choice but to repeat the whole RTTS. I spent more than a month in AA and i was playing great in the last 3 weeks that I got promoted to AAA. Only played like 10 games then went to MLB. UNFORTUNATELY, like you, I was used only as a PH. Talked to the manager but no avail. The Nationals went into the WS but we lost. I hate to play in MLB only as a PH....of course, since I am not getting much experience (points) I was stagnant and also losing some attributes.

I was wondering if this got to do with age (18), fast AAA experience, or just because ur the "rookie"? I just hope that the team sent me back to AAA to improve more. Hopefully, with this new RTTS ill be staying for awhile in the AAA.

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

Created a new starting pitcher for fun.

The Cuban Missile?

Don't make Boris laugh. Boris Badenov is Russian Rocket from mother Russia. Real age 27 but passport age states 18.

Come to USA from Russia to spy on capitalist pig. Ex-Spetsnaz now KGB agent, Boris here to infiltrate America favorite past time and start civil unrest. "Bloody Yank crazy over hitting ball with bat," say Putin.


Boris is fast, fast and fast to come into strike zone. But when come to bed, Boris slow to come. 100mph 4SFB, 98mph RFB and 98mph 2SFB, Boris know only violence can solve problem with yanks.


1st round pick, Chicago Cubs draft Boris. Boris accept because Obama say he like teams from Chicago.


When interviewed by reporters covering the Topps Amateur showcase, Boris had this to say...


Boris: "I Russian Rocket 18yrs old, not Russian spy. America good, democracy and freedom.

Chicago Cubs draft me, I happy because Obama from Chicago. He represent freedom.

I love hamburger and McDonald!"

This gave me a good chuckle. Please continue for us capitalist-pigs.

Yeah I believe your durability rating can effect hpw many games you play in a row but sometimes it feels random when they decide to give you rest. My last season with the Red Soxs I was able to play in 143 games, they had me sit out those 19 games not to due to injuries. Hopefully this year I can go injury free and play closer to 162 games with the Rockies, I now have my durability close to 90.

Was it September? AA and AAA seasons end in early September, so if you were on the 40 man roster, you'd get called up to MLB automatically, and most likely pinch hit throughout the month (unless by some chance you're rated better than the starter at your spot and can earn the starting gig within that month).

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

So I've settled in as a Rookie in the majors and have pretty much hit my stride. My Astros are dead last in the AL West of course but they've got two young rising superstar rookies to be hopeful about. Plus, they made some trades to improve their horrendous pitching.

Right now, I'm 2nd for AL Rookie of the Year right behind George Springer even though I'm posting better stats than he (per at bat). It's cool, we're a team.



Springer bats right after me in the order. Houston's Dynamic Duo.

I went to MLB before the All-Star of AAA, and then just to play as PH. I am almost have the same rating as the 2B of the team, but one SS is playing as 2B when i checked the lineup. I asked the manager to give me more playing time and he said that this SS guy is doing great at the position lately.

My team, the Braves, won the World Series in 2014 of my RTTS. I started 2015 last night, I've got a new coach! Guess ATL didn't want to give Gonzalez a raise after the WS win, lol.

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

I made a Power hitting/Contact 3B and got drafted by the Dodgers out of high school. My hometown team, lol, wish it were my Yanks though. I'm starting over on dynamic difficulty and after posting a monster .560/.600/1.150 triple slash through 15 games I was called up to AAA Alberquerque. There isn't much depth in the Dodger system at 3B so I hope to see the show by September.
