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

    Almost had to restart my 2nd baseman for the Cubs im in AAA iowa Cubs as a starter. We are almost at the all-star game and the Cubs trade freaking Javy Baez for 31yr old LF Mike Morse. Needless to say I immediately closed out that application and kept re doing it until they didn't trade Baez away. lol no way im letting them trade away one of our potential great players for some old sack.

    But I understand why they did it because by some miracle the Cubs are 1st in the division lol

        I started a new RTTS with a guy who's similar to myself in build and name. He's super speedy with great contact and plays 2nd base. Long story short, I did great in the showcase and was drafted in the first round by the Reds. I didn't want to sit in the minors behind Brandon Phillips for forever so I went to 1 year of JUCO and did the showcase again.

        I did tremendous my 2nd time around and was actually drafted 1st overall in the 1st round by the Astros. Now, I don't really want to play for the Astros, but you can't turn down being the first pick.

        Anyway, I'm batting 2nd on CC and have only played a few games so far but I'm doing decent. Pretty excited to see where I go from here.

            I have enjoyed The Show since the PS2 days (yes that long) - but until 2 weeks ago I never played RTTS once. OMG - feel so ashamed. Greatest mode ever. I love it so much I restarted my franchise mode with a created player now that player lock is an option there. Its very engaging. I have 2 ones going:

            ShortStop (San Francisco Giants ) 3rd round draft:

            First one I created. I used my free 30,000 stubs to ramp up my guy. I suck at hitting so i needed all the help I could get - and after 2 months or so of killing minor league pitching i got called up the the Show. It sounds silly - but I get so tense with every game. After about 2 months in the bigs I am really not hitting that well (.266, 13 HR and 40 RBI) I keep thinking I am one slump away from being sent down. I will say this tho..after all the games in small parks with sparse crowds....when I jumped to the majors I was a little starstruck. I never realized how lovely AT&T park is...and it is lovely. The Giants are fighting for a wildcard and are 4 games out of first place in the division after about 100 games in. I sure wanna make the playoffs.

            Starting Pitcher (Minnesota Twins) - 6th round

            Just started this one. I didn't think I did that bad in the showcase - my feelings were hurt But the good news is I got drafted by the Twins (I wanted to go to an American league team and their starting rotation is weak) so its cool. After three starts I have given up a total of 3 runs - but I get no run support so I am only 1-0. It's fun pitching - and I chose 3 pitches with alot of movement (Running FB, Sweeping curve and Circle change) so I am pretty good at keeping batters off pace and got a butload of strikeouts. For this one - I have vowed to not use any stubs and to get to the majors the old fashioned way. I'm perfectly content to pitch in minors the whole year.

              finally just had to say **** it and let the Cubs trade a future superstar in SS Javier Baez for old piece of dirt in LF Mike Morse its really pissing me off but i understand the logic behind it but y couldnt they at least get someone good and middle age instead of a 31yr old with and 76ovr when Baez was 21 wit a 73ovr but i know we got Starlin at da same position so one of them had to go eventually

                  June 6, 2014 Special Report: Willie Mays Hayes Called up to AAA Buffalo Bisons!



                  As a result of organizational Musical Chairs following an injury to Toronto starting pitcher Brandon Morrow, the Buffalo Bisons have called promising young prospect Willie Mays Hayes up to the AAA club. Hayes will take a bench role to starting CF (and perhaps soon to be MLB starter with Colby Rasmus struggling) Eddy Velasquez. The team expects to send him him down for more Double A seasoning once Morrow comes off the DL.


                  Now, if I may say a word about this situation that everyone dreads...I'm going to take in stride. Reason being is that I have more than enough training points saved up from my AA performance that I have absolutely no worries of declining while I play every few days. This is one of the two big reasons I chose to manage my progression this way.

                  As mentioned in my first post on this RTTS, I've moved the difficulty down to HOF for however long I stay in AAA - and it still feels like the stat balance will be there. I drew a walk and got a base hit in my first AAA game.

                    I was drafted in the 3rd round by the Marlins. My SS just got called up to AAA but I am struggling big time but that might be because my other RTTS file is a pitcher and I haven't gotten my timing back for hitting.

                    On a side note, has anybody noticed the ridiculously ludicrous stats on the RTTS leaderboard?

                      I can only speak for myself, but I don't have a single team I want to play for, there are about a dozen teams I'd like to play for and I like the element of surprise, I'd rather enter the draft and let the chips fall where they may. If I get drafted to a team I don't like I'll just re-load the save file and keep trying until I get a team I find agreeable.

                        is it just me or do they never bunt when your in scoring position it was the 2nd inning i was on 3rd and we had a runner on 1st and the pitcher was on deck and instead of bunting he strikes out not to mention the game was tied 1-1 luckily the next batter brought me in.

                        im just wondering why do they never bunt when your scoring positionhave u ever seen the manager call for a bunt the game really needs to get that fixed.

                          The only time I've seen a manager call a bunt in that situation in my RTTS is any team playing against me. I play 1B a lot and the other teams bunt like it's going out of style, meanwhile we never bunt (at least from what I see).

                            I don't do that because I like having a realistic experience. IRL if I was in the draft and the Dodgers picked me I would still sign because it's a contract and a chance to play, even if it is for a team I strongly dislike.

                            I also only complained once (I know you weren't personally calling anyone out I am just defending myself) because I already have a RF that plays for the ChiSox and then I made a SS that was also drafted by the ChiSox - I just don't want 2 RTTS' in the same organization, and I didn't go back to school to avoid them because I was taken at No. 3 overall; IRL a player would take that pick.

                              Just finished my first season. I'm a RF, drafted in the second round by the Phillies. After 173 at-bats in Double-A (the highlight of which being a 6-for-6 game) I was called up to Triple-A.

                              Finished the season .316/.355/.503, 11 HR, 61 RBI, 31 SB.

                              Got into the playoffs for the first time in RTTS too with an 81-63 record. Excited to get that under way.

                                My third basemen got drafted 2nd round by the Twins; I signed. I did so not knowing that the Twins already have a Topp50 prospect playing third base. With the combination of being a 2nd round choice, and having to climb up the positional ranks behind Miguel Sano, I'm starting to realize that I may need to execute a position change. Then again, the Twins have pretty good prospects at almost every position. Whoever made the CAP for 18 year old AA pitcher Thorpe.. wow. He has started 3 games for us and they've all been CG Shutouts. LOL. 27 innings, 0.00 ERA, 0.65 WHIP.
