    Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

    Writer's Note: Hey everyone, this is Anthony. New to posting about this kind of stuff, so apologies if this isn't the most entertaining or interesting RTTS or read, but am going to try my best to do both. This first post will be a bit of a pre-RTTS backstory bit about my player. I plan to post screenshots and maybe even a video of highlights from the 2 planned showcases I will have with my character later today or tomorrow. I will try to update as often as I can with screenshots and highlight videos, along with other "headlines" and will also post screenshots or texts of statistics. Anyways, here goes nothing.


     




    East Texas Baseball Star Heading To MLB Showcase




    The Daily Sentinel and KTRE have just received word from the athletic department of Nacogdoches High School that their top baseball player, infielder Andrew Morrison, has received an invitation to participate in the MLB Prospect Showcase. The Prospect Showcase invites numerous players from all over the country as well as young international talent around the world to participate in a series of games in which scouts from all 30 MLB teams will be present and getting one last look at prospects before the upcoming draft.




    The left-handed 6'2" Morrison was one of the top players in not just 5A, but all of Texas this season as he led the state in batting average, and was one of the top ten in home runs and RBI. Many MLB scouts, who have seen Morrison in action, believe that Morrison will wait and see where he is projected before he decides whether to enter his name into the draft, or if he will play a year or so in college ball. Numerous college scouts have also been present at Nacogdoches games, including scouts from Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma State, as well as various other schools around the country.




    Morrison is excited for the chance to see what the showcase has to offer, and is grateful for the opportunities ahead to attempt to reach his dream of becoming a major leaguer.




    "It has been a dream of mine to get to the big leagues, ever since I could remember. I picked up a baseball when I was 4 years old, and my dad got me into tee ball, and I've never looked back. I would love to be the first Dragon from Nacogdoches High School to make it to the majors. I mean, we've had Clint Dempsey, whose made it to the MLS and overseas, and Damien James made it to the NBA, but to be the first MLB player to come out of Nac?"




    "I am ready for the pressure, and I feel like with hard work, patience, and faith, I believe I will make it. I'm not sure yet if I will put my name out there to be drafted yet, though. I will go out there and do my best and then consult my family, friends, and coach, and do what we agree is best for me."

      Yes they do. Each different piece of equipment give you added points towards an attribute. There's different levels too. There's silver, gold, diamond, camo & stars & stripes. Here's what I use & the extra points you get for them.

      Marucci JB19 Ash Gold Bat
      + 3 in power, contact, plate vision & batting clutch.

      Under Armour Undeniable Diamond Batting Gloves
      +18 Vision & +10 Discipline

      Wilson A2K Diamond Glove
      +14 Fielding, +4 in Hits per 9 Innings pitched, Arm Accuracy & Reaction.

      Under Armour Deception DT Diamond Cleats
      +10 Speed, +14 Reaction & +10 Strike Outs per 9 innings pitched.

      There's also ritual equipment. Right now I'm using the Hat for Bat Gold.
      +4 Contact & +4 Power.

        MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

        Started a LH starting pitcher, will be played on All-Star difficulty.

        Todd Germàn, 18 year old out of Venezuela. 6'2 220. 3 pitch pitcher, 4 seam, circle change, slider. Fastball sits at 94-95 tops 98. Slider is a soft slider at 83mph but go a lot of swings and misses. Circle change has good late break, gets a lot of ground balls, sits at 81-82mph.

        Todd had a poor showcase showing, with a 5.00 ERA in 9 IP. He did show some control by not walking anyone and striking out a batter per inning.

        The New York Mets decided to take a chance on the young lefty in the 4th round. He had some signability issues but the two recently decided on a 1 year contract for the Double-A Mets team. Todd will make his first start on 4/13 against Detroit's double-a affiliate, the Erie Sea Wolves.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1438885277.196907.jpg

          Re: Official MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

          After 39 games with Giants Double A affiliate, the Richmond Squirrels I have been called up to the Triple A Sacramento River Cats. I was batting lead off or 2nd the majority of the time. I finished my time in AA with a .423 average, 69 hits, 26 RBI, 6 doubles, 9 triples, 1 home run & 20 stolen bases. I walked 10 times & only struck out 2 times. My contact is at 54, power is at 16, bunting is at 50, vision, discipline & batting clutch are both at 51. Fielding & reaction are at 59. Arm strength is at 65 & accuracy is 63. Speed is 78, stealing is 62, base running aggressiveness is 63 & durability is 69. My overall is a 62. Hoping to hit somewhere between 75 & 80 by the time I'm called up to the majors. I only spend my training points once or twice each month.

            Started AAA as the closer for AAA Tacoma

            I led the PCL in saves and made the AAA ASG. I'm in mid-August (2017) so I hope to get called up in September and start 2018 in the Mariners bullpen.

            Their current closer is Carson Smith, but he's struggled, so I could realistically be the Closer by 2019

              Just recalled to the big club day after the AS game. Hope I fair a little better than last time.

              Never been called up twice in my first year without "cheating" using sliders in past games lol

                Cuban Import; Jacque Garcia

                On June 14th, 2014, the Oakland Athletics officially signed (then) 17-year old Jacque Garcia to a one year deal. After several weeks of dealing with backlash from other organizations about possible infractions and lack of fair business dealings. Garcia was heralded as one of the best international prospects in recent years, he was considered a potential 5-tool player and received offers from the A's, Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Rangers, Giants, Diamondbacks, Marlins and Mets. Questions did remain about Garcia's game though. What position would he play? And, would his hitting ever materialize?

                For the 2015 season, Garcia was sent to Double-A Midland. With blazing speed and a legit glove, the A's decided he would be best suited for CF and would eventually replace Sam Fuld on the big league club. He would play just 39 games before being promoted to Triple-A, mostly attributed to his .363 BA and 33 steals.

                Nashville would prove very fruitful for Garcia as he improved in nearly every statistical category in just 42 games. A .404 BA was really all the proof Oakland needed to purchase his contract on July 21st.

                Garcia would never relinquish the starting CF spot as he played 60 games and helped elevate Oakland to a 91-71 record and an AL West division championship. In 239 AB, Garcia would hit .285 and swipe an AL leading 45 times without getting caught once. Did we mention he only played in 60 games at the MLB level? This play was so impressive that it reflected in his WAR, which was calculated at 2.2 (worth roughly $9.7 million).

                The young CF's bat never really appeared in the postseason though, but his legs did and they helped Oakland have back-to-back sweeps against the Royals and Red Sox to play in the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

                The Dodgers destroyed the A's in the first three games of the series behind unbelievable pitching from Kershaw and Greinke. But Garcia wouldn't let the A's be swept, and in game four in LA, Garcia put a game-winning HR over the wall in the 8th inning. It would prove for naught as the Dodgers then cruised to an easy win in game 5, but no one could argue that Garcia didn't give it his all.

                The offseason proved to be a little bizarre for the 19-year old Cuban, as Oakland looked to give the young CF a 7 year contract worth a total of 8.5 million dollars. Garcia felt he was worth a little more and countered at an alleged 3 years for a total of 9 million, the A's balked at that and continued to throw out multi-year deals worth just 1.1 million a year.

                After several weeks of arguing, Garcia stopped countering and just waited for his contract to be renewed. It was renewed at just $534,000 which may prove to be a mistake for Oakland as Garcia was quoted as saying, "They wanted me signed for a long time with little compensation. They were unwilling to budge. So I decided, just sit back and take the minimum. I will make them see the error of their ways to low-ball."

                This would appear that Garcia is saying that he plans to make Oakland pay a lot more next offseason when his price will most likely increase. This creates a tension that might see either Garcia being handsomely paid soon or traded. But with Garcia's recent play in the first month of the 2016 season, the current indication would be the former as he's killing the ball with a .359 BA, 20 SB, 21 R and 16 RBI as the team's everyday leadoff hitter. The A's have also enjoyed a 19-5 record so far, and can be mostly contributed to Garcia's play.

                  Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

                  Quick question, this the first year I've bought The Show so I'm not super familiar with RTTS.

                  I started a RF and am in about my 3rd season. However, I'd like to start a new player as a pitcher. Is there a way to start a player and get the points you earned with the other player? Or do I have to start completely from scratch no matter what? Hopefully this question makes sense.

                    You have to start from scratch.

                      I have a lefty starting pitcher. Currently my pitches are the fastball, slurve, cutter, and sinker. I was thinking about a going with a 2 seam or a 12-6 curve as my 5th pitch. Which do you think would be more appropriate?

                        Seeing as you already have 3 fastballs I would go with the 12-6 curve if I had to pick one of the two. If I could pick any pitch I would go with a changeup. That way you have 3 fastballs, 1 breaking ball and 1 off-speed.

                        My primary lefty SP has 4SFB, changeup, cutter, sinker and curveball.

                          Just about given up on this mode this year. My third RTTS and everything is just broken. Finished a game where the opposing pitcher threw 150+ piches.

                          Went thru my roster, wondering why I am only hitting as the DH and low and behold the team from AAA on up is carrying 15+ pitchers and two guys on the bench?

                            @ Bullit, What do you have Stanima set at? For my RTTS (I have a 1B and a OF) I set Stanima at 3 for Starters and 2 for Relievers and 5 for Hook.

                            As for carrying 15 pitchers, that idk. That is really weird. Ive never seen that, I'll have to go look at my lineups (I never go in that screen in RTTS) and see if that is happening. Ive never noticed it.

                            Madden get rid of the extras (SS/XF, HFA, media, scenarios, game plan) or turn them down considerably.

                              I have everything set at default, I have never used or changed sliders before. Usually I just play.

                                Same here, I do tweak sliders but I stay close to default. The stanima's dont change anything but the amount of pitches thrown. It wont effect gameplay. I had the same problem with pitch count, and found that 3 and 2 (or 3 for relievers) will keep the counts down.
