MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Soo...My RttS player is about to obliterate my previous high of 117 walks in a season. It's currently the beginning of July and I have 94 walks. True story.

That's insane lol.

I actually just obliterated my career high as well, but it's nowhere near what yours is. I'm in year 6 and my previous high was only 47, but I posted 80 walks this season. Most of the season was played on 14 as well. I think I could mess around and take 100 walks next year, the pitches are definitely easier to see on MLB 15.

Update on this. Just entered the All-Star break at 99 walks in 88 games...

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Okay its that time of the year for us RTTS junkies to get our fix on. I have about 6 players to transfer over from 14 and I will create a another 4-5 more which should keep me busy till 16 comes.

I do 1 at a time (2 max) so I can actually make progress into their careers lol, I have no idea how you plan on juggling 10-11 guys

Bump up your durability rating. Durability is also tied into stamina and how often you need a rest day.

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Absolutely loving the Show this year.

Created a new CF player as myself and after batting .320, 1 RBI, 2SB in the scout games I got drafted 1st overall by the Diamondbacks

I really don't want to play for them and I'm really hoping I get traded

Anyways so far I'm tearing it up with heavily adjusted sliders in my favor. Batting .515, 4 HR, 12 RBI, 4 SB, 7 3B. Leading in almost every batting category.

I'm doing a "Usain Bolt of baseball" player and will do a more realistic one once the OSFM roster lands.

Struggling to get game time though, only 2 weeks into the season. Have 18 month old and 6 week old at home.

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Anyone been traded more than once in a season? I got called up from AA in the first season the day after the AA allstar game. I spent 9 days in San Diego before they shipped me to Atlanta. I thought ok cool, I didn't ask for a trade but ok. 3 weeks later ATL trades me to the Dodgers. The deadline has since passed so I'll at least finish the season here. Anyone else have this happen without requesting trades?

I kept getting traded away from the team I wanted to stay with so when I saved, I just did a new save so if an unwanted trade kept going through, I could back up and reload to an earlier spot. After a while, decided to see what trades panned out in those last two weeks before the trade deadline. In those trades that occurred, some were completely crazy.

Just to highlight a few:

1) Traded from Det to KC for C Perez...3 days later, traded from KC to Det for C Perez. This trade literally took place right around the Det/KC series at the trade deadline.

2) Traded 7/24 from Det to SF for SP Cain. Traded 7/26 from SF to Wash for SP Fister. Traded 7/31 from Wash to Det for SP Cain.

3) Traded from Det to KC...2 days later traded from KC to Atlanta...traded 3 days later from Atlanta to Cleveland.

4) Traded from Det to Atlanta...2 days later traded from Atlanta to KC...2 days later traded from KC to Washington...next day traded from Wash to Oakland...3 days later (at deadline) traded from Oak to Toronto.

5) In the course of a week, went from Det to SF to Oak to Atl to KC to Wash.

6) In the last week before the deadline, traded from Det to Atl to Oak to SF to Det

7) This was the craziest one. Traded from Det to SF on 7/24. On 7/26 traded from SF to NYM. On 7/27 traded from NYM back to Det. On 7/29 traded from Det to KC. On 7/31 traded from KC back to NYM.

So essentially from 7/18 to 7/31, I've had anywhere from 2-6 trades take place in that time frame. Two other reloads to see what trades happen have actually resulted in a waiver trade on 8/1. Final tally on where have left me with save files that first week of August where my RTTS player is on the Mets, Braves, Giants, Tigers, A's, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Rays, Nationals, Indians, Orioles, and Twins. I didn't bother with saving the final teams of Royals, Rockies or any duplicates.

What I decided to do, instead of creating way too many RTTS players is to start a Franchise. I then do a Player lock on different players based on the day of the week.

Sunday - LF
Monday - CF
Tuesday RF
Wednesday - 3B
Thursday - SS
Friday - 2b
Saturday - 1B

That gives me a taste of all the positions except catcher (I have a RTTS Pitcher). In RTTS. I only have a 1B, CF and Closer. I am mainly playing my CF now.

Great idea I am going to that, thanks

The other benefits of this in my opinion are:

1. By only controlling each player once a week I don't have too much influence on any single player's stats.

2. I have a chance of actually making it through a season in franchise.

What sliders set are you guys using, if any?

Re: Official MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

First time playing at as pitcher. I started out originally as a closer with Diamondbacks but got bored. So I switched to a starter. Was drafted in the third round by the Angels. My first start I pitched a complete game shutout. I had 10 starts in AA with a 7-1 record. 1.60 ERA, 2 complete games & 70 strike outs with only 9 walks. I was called up to AAA & I've struggled. I'm 0-4 in my first 4 stars with a 4.09 ERA. My last start I went 6 1/3 without giving up & hit until I gave up an inside the park home run. Then the next guy reaches on an error & I get pulled. I was playing on All Star throughout AA & then switched to HOF when I went to AAA. Might switch back to All Star. It's still more fun than using a hitter all the time.

Still playing on HOF. Changed the sliders a little bit. Not getting as many 8 to 12 pitch at bats. The foul frequency was ridiculous. So played six more games with 5 wins & 1 ND. Finally figured things out a triple A. I'm enjoying this game a lot more than I have in years past.

I'm using Armor & Sword's sliders as a base. I tinker with them a bit. He doesn't have them in the vault. I'm playing on HOF difficult for both hitting & pitching. Haven't started a position player yet. Haven't decided on what position I want to play as. I usually do OF or SS. Might try out second base instead.

Every thing I use is default except for out fielders speed and reaction. That's at 2 and 1 respectively.
