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

    Created a shortstop and chose to be drafted by the Mets...lord knows they need some help there.

    I tore it up for this first month, batting .340 with 20 RBI's and 4 HR's, all with pretty paltry ratings. By some miracle, Tejada was batting .317 with like a .400 OBP, which didn't help in my hopes of an early call up straight to the pros. Also botched the showcase (this is my first time playing any of The Show games), so starting with a D potential couldn't have helped.

    Anyway, I'm on dynamic difficulty, and finding Veteran difficulty is much tougher with the timing + zone hitting incorporated. I'm watching my average drop below .300 , and I'm hitting high, easy out popups for the first time. I'm tempted to scale down the difficulty so I can ensure I do well and get promoted. ..but I would like to improve in case I play a friend, or go online against random people. It's tempting though since it's a real grind with how few points they give you after each game to improve your ratings.

      Just had my most stupid moment in my RTTS life since MLB 07 if I remember well, but i'm still laughing out loud just by recalling it.

      First game of the AA season, I was a LF, a fly ball was coming to me, i got under it, my guy misses the catch, the ball hits my face and i get injured and miss a game due to it...ROFL

        I created a closer. 2nd game of the showcase I come into the game 4th inning, guy on first. Two batters later the dude gets a double and I get charged with a run..? What the hell, messing up my draft stock

              For outfielders, is there a fielding view where you can see the ball marker, or have something more like the view you have when playing a normal game?

                Click in R3 (the right stick) and hold it. It will switch to a view where you can see the ball marker. Or if there is no ball maker (because the ball is actually closer to one of the other fielders) it will still show you it's general landing spot

                      Is there really no transaction log in RTTS? Or am I just missing it... It would be shame if we had no idea of any trades or roster changes happening around the league. Almost a game-breaker for myself.

                          Power hitting 1B

                          Went 1/4 in first two showcase games. Both hits were HRs. Total of 3 RBIs. Was PoG both games. 0/4 last game.

                          B potential. Drafted 2nd round to Atlanta.

                            Anyone having a problem with RTTS home run distances not being displayed? I'm about 40 games into my first season in AA and have only seen the distance posted once out of my 7 home runs.
                            I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

                              I can't figure out what the hell is going on with stealing this year.


                              Last year you could just tap R2 the second you wanted to take off. I can't figure out how to get back to those controls. Now you have to hold down R2 and then let it go when you want to leave. It feels so much less intuitive and responsive.

                                I created a speed-oriented 2B and just got drafted to the Washington Nationals. My draft stock was early first but I slipped big time. It was hard for me to decide between signing with the team or going back to college, but at the end of the day, I took the obvious decision and signed with the team.
