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

    I recently started my SP RTTS (I played RP/2B in HS but always create an SP and a 2B). Played decent in the rookie showcase. Ended up going 11th in the 3rd round to Toronto (my favorite team, Mets, were 12, I was hoping to land there). Anyways, I was sent to Double-A where I was immediately named the Ace.

    Just finished April and through 6 starts I'm 3-1, 2.23 ERA, 36K, 4BB through 36.1inn. I own righties but lefties are hitting. 268 against me and I'm quite possibly the worst fielding pitcher so far in the season (3 errors already).

    I'm loving the game. When I get a little better at hitting, I'll start my 2B RTTS. One thing that kinda has me bummed, however, is that I started my SP before I downloaded the OS rosters. Probably gonna have to start it over =(

      Just fired up the SP I created after loading the opening day rosters from Knight. Drafted 13th in the first round by my home team the Giants! First game, 7 innings pitched, gave up 1 run with 5 hits. But the kicker was I had 12 strikeouts. 2 strikeouts in each inning until the 7th. Unfortunately the score was 1-1 so I got pulled after the 7th and we won in extra innings, but I didn't get the decision.

      2nd game finally got the win, 1-0. 6 innings pitched with no runs, 7 hits, and 5 K's. Wished they left me in, but oh well

          My 3B was some what tearing it up in AA, for his short time there.
          I was drafted by the Royals. I was hitting .380, had 10 HR and 43 RBIs Then the last day of June the Royals buy my contract and I move directly from AA to MLB. Which seems odd to me. The guy starting for their AAA team is higher rated, and has pretty much identical stats. So that doesn't make a lot of sense. Hes even the same age. They moved him down to AAA backup and the guy I replaced also down to the AAA team to be the starter there.

          I play 8 games as a Royal, we go 1-7. I play pretty mediocre in those games. Hit .210, 1HR and 6 RBIs. The HR and 4 of the RBIs all came in the win. The last game I play with them. After the game I am traded to the Padres. I didn't ask to be traded or anything either. Royals were in first place of the division. Padres are last. Also I was placed on the 30 day DL for all of April. I hurt my hand in my first every game, lol.

          I also have a SP who was drafted by the Astros in the first pick of the second round. I've played four games with him on the AA team. And I am 2-1. I am using the Dynamic difficulty.

          I think I might start a third. I might go with a speed player or a CP. Maybe a SP and try for the NL so I can bat with him.

            It seems to randomly show up. I've had it be there when randomly checking. And then the next game I went back to use the option for changing position, and they were both gone. Then I played a few games, checked again. And they ere both back. So I have no clue what makes them appear or not be there.

              This just happened in my Road to the Show -- Glad to see trade logic is still top notch -- what a joke.

                I made my player (CF) on Tuesday and I did alright in the showcase, I wasn't awful, but I wasn't amazing. To my surprise I got drafted as the 16th overall by Baltimore and tore it up in AA. I got moved up to AAA this morning, and I'm doing even better, just waiting for the call-up. I am using the dynamic hitting on the Legend++ level.

                  Ah ok, I guess I'll just check back every few days.

                    I created myself as a rocket-armed RF. In my first showcase I did very poorly and was drafted in the 6th round by the Marlins, with Stanton manning the position I decided to go to one year of JUCO. In the second showcase I did even worse and was selected in the 7th round by the Blue Jays, again there was another good player at my position so I went back for one more year of JUCO. In the third showcase I did much better but the comp still drafted me in the 7th round, this time to the White Sox. At which point I decided to accept my fate and sign.

                    In my first month of AA ball in Birmingham, I hit over .360 with 8 HRs and 25 RBIs. Two weeks into May my contract was purchased by the White Sox because Avisail Garcia was in terrible form with an adjusted overall of about 60 and my adjusted overall was 88.

                    I have played a couple series so far and I am getting hits but I am driving the ball and getting on base by way of the walk so I think I might be here to stay. Also the White Sox are currently 29-17 and in first place by 6 games over Detroit

                      My first 10 games with the Padres after the trade have been terrible. I have two hits in 28 at bats. No RBIs, not HR, no runs, no steals. I am doing terrible. I'm sitting .155 in my MLB career.

                      The dynamic setting moved me up to Veteran+, and I suck so bad at this level. I haven't played a baseball game in 3 years. And I am not adjusting back as fast I thought. I can hit well on Rookie. But anything above + and I start to get really messed up on the timing. Maybe I just need glasses.

                        Killed it the first month in AA. 2-0, with 0.76 ERA, 49 K's in 36 IP. Had 3 games where I had 12 K's!

                          Started my RTTS today as my pitcher. Got drafted with the 1st pick of the 3rd round by Houston. First start was versus the Cardinals AA team... My line was 7IP,5 Hits,0BB,6K,2ER

                          Got the W, good start to my career!

                            Does anybody have any base stealing tips? I am 2/2 with my speedy CF, but I always get the "bad jump" notification. Any tips on the timing? I find it hard to be too aggressive with as frequent as the CPU tries to pick you off.

                              I also made a new player. A CF and put his speed as high as I could. This gives him 90 for speed. And stealing of 65 (I think, maybe 60). Anyways. I noticed the speed only affects fielding. It had no affect on base running what so ever. He ran just as slow as my 40 rated 3B. 50 point difference, still ran just as slow. Maybe there is more to it than that, but I didn't like that so I deleted the save and went back to my 3B. I figured with such a high rating you notice the animation being faster. Or getting to the plate closer to the throw, but I noticed nothing different.

                                New to this game, loving RTTS so far. Made a starter who already got called up to the Yankees after ASG. First question is how to pull my starter from a ball game when he is out of energy and at 140 pitches? They just left him in and he started getting hit hard, thought there was a way to manually yank him.

                                Also what are tips for the best way to spend training points for a starting pitcher. Thanks.
