MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Playing LEGEND, sliders are at default....Created CF, got drafted by the Marlins in the 6th round. After 80 or so games in AA for the Jacksonville Suns (I've only played 58) I'm hitting .232/2/31, but have like 10 triples. This is my first time playing this on legend. Anyone else playing this difficulty and if so, how successful are you?

I started playing on Legend with default sliders after reading a post in the sliders forum. From my experience in RTTS mode it seems that your teammates player better on legend and that your RTTS character does not carry all the weight.

I keep the sliders at default but increased the human timing a bit. I was really surprised I was able to get hits on Legend its all about patience and taking pitches. As for the teammates not performing well in RTTS I thought about increasing the CPU sliders to help but have not tested it yet.

I only seem to get traded when I choose a team I want to actually play for.

This year is the exception. I made it to the majors and am the Starting CF for the Cardinals.

Of course they did not trade me and probably will not now, but they did the next best thing, They traded the team out from under me. They traded Wainwright, Molina, Lynn. And then re-traded some of the players they got.

Now the Cardinals Lineup is usually looking like this

C - Miguel Montero
1B - Mark Reynolds
2b - Everth Cabrera
SS - Starlin Castro
3B - Matt Carpenter
RF - Jason Heyward
CF -ME
LF - Hanley Ramirez (or Matt Holiday or John Jay)

So by August of 2015 the team had replaced 6 out of 8 of the positional starters and two of the 5 starting pitchers.

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.

Managed to have the 'Hidden Ball Trick' show up in my RTTS recently. It's essentially just a cutscene, but cool to see them include it!

Created a left handed SP. Had a decent Showcase. Didn't really care which team I got drafted by. Got drafted in the first round at the 21st pick. Noticed that my Mariners drafted a SP also at the 20th pick. Thought, hmm..lets try something. Restarted the game and went through the draft again just to see if anything would change. Same draft picks. Restarted the game again and before I go to the draft, I switch from left handed to right handed. Started the draft again. Drafted 20th pick by the Seattle Mariners. Signed with the team and then went in and switched back to left handed.

Just thought it was interesting that teams will look for either a LH or RH pitcher.

I just got to the 20/20 club with my RTTS. Taking the AL by storm with 22 steals and 21 HR before the ASG. Right behind me is Victor Martinez with 19 and Big Papi with 17. In steals, not HR. God, I hope they fix this.

Re: Official MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

I've been playing this game since the PS2 days & I have never been traded. I've created a few different players this year trying to get the right type. I usually play shortstop. Was drafted by the D Backs in the seconds round. Went from Double A straight to the majors. Just finished my first season this morning. We finished in last player at 61-101. Worse record in the league. I finished in second in the ROY to my teammate Yasmany Tomas. I had a .372 batting average with 12 home runs, 74 RBI & 74 walks. He finished with a .248 average, 44 home runs & 116 RBI. Goldschmidt finished with .289, 34 home runs & 100 RBI. As a team we were top ten in every major offensive category. I led the league in stolen bases & runs scored. Our picturing staff was 25th or worse in every category. So that's where we lost our games. Hoping to stick it out with the D Backs like I did with the Astros in last year's game. I've turned off auto saves so I can avoid some of these ridiculous trades. Hoping to keep Goldschmidt, Tomas & Trumbo together for a while.

I created a new player in MLB 15 and spent several hundred at bats each in AA and AAA before being called up in August.

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Idk what's more frustrating. The fact that guys can stil hit pitches literally in the dirt or that my SS and 3B literally have no fielding ability. And my catcher can't get a ball that's 2 feet from him. Seriously pitchers get on base all the time, like 8 times out of 10 Cuz the Catcher can't pick up a ball or the 3B can't field it (Seriously he hasn't gotten it once!)

So I basically have to strikeout every batter Cuz I have an awful infield but I can't do that when no matter where I put a pitch if they swing they'll make contact. Even sliders and curves well outside or almost hitting them inside or in the dirt. They hit it.

But the most frustrating part is the infield. I give up so many infield hits cuz of our inability to field a ball (or make accurate throws). Even when I get it and push square he holds on and doesn't throw

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

What does one have to do to get more playing time as a starter? I made a RF, 77 overall, I think, and I'm stuck on the bench in Baltimore. Delmon Young is a 70 overall and he's getting all the starts. Maybe it has something to do with my age (20). Wondering if anyone has experience with this.
