MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

I am so tired of being the DH. My fielding is 20 points higher than anybody else in the minors, 10 points above my hitting and at the end of the year I have played my position 3 times. Every other game I am the DH and they wont trade me either. This is getting real old.

This is my 3rd RTTS player and it is the same every time I play. I have tried SS. 3B and now CF and all I do is DH.

I feel your pain but you have it way worse than me. I have a 1st baseman and he is DH about every other game. Its rather annoying because I like the extra training points I get from playing 1st. The sad thing is I am 1st in all-star voting and my team mate is 2nd. How dumb is that?

I just got called up to the majors as an 18 year old 60 games into the season.

I am 79 overall and play catcher for the Rangers and have the power to be a 40 home run guy. I have 1 so far in 3 games plus 4 off the wall. If I can learn to pull the ball instead of trying to go opposite field, I can be a big threat.

I have A potential and am the starting catcher and play on hall of fame

With me and Gallo plus Fielder we have a dangerous power potential.

Hit inside the park home runs in back-to-back games the other day. It was amazing. I'm also leading the NL in triples and 3rd in stolen bases, even though I didn't get called up to the majors until July. It's in September now.

Post patch the trading is still rather goofy. I'm a SS in the Mariners system. Mid year the M's trade Felix to Detroit for three position players. I get called up to the MLB early to mid August. M's win the division by a couple games. Take care of Boston in the ALDS 3-2. Meet Detroit in the ALCS. Who's pitching first game? Felix Hernandez.

Felix Hernandez, David Price & Justin Verlander as your rotation for the playoffs. We couldn't compete. Detroit goes on to the WS 4-1.

Milwaukee sweeps Detroit in four to take the WS.

Yeah the trading is screwed up. I'm on the Giants and they traded Buster Posey for Jason Heyward and Randy Choate... and they traded Andrew Susac for Mark Trumbo earlier in the season. Now outfielders are being the catcher...

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Can't get my guy to second on hits that should be doubles. On both Auto and Assist, he makes the turn then goes back to first even though I'm trying to run him to second.

How are you "telling" him to go there?
I hold down L2 and the Triangle when I try for double. If I want to try for a triple its L2 + []. Home its L2 + X.

() = First Base
Triangle = 2nd Base
[] = Third Base
X = Home

Re: Official MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Has anybody seen this happen. I'm a third baseman for the Padres triple a team. When fielding a ball with a runner on first I field the ball and throw to second for a double play the second baseman is not on the bag. Then he throws to first for only 1 out

Saw this when playing my pitcher the other night. Would have been pissed if would have cost me a no-no. Had a couple hits on me already, but if that was the only one....

And the Cardinals probably needed Posey because they traded away Molina (which they did in my league as well).

It's like the game thinks that, in RTTS, every single player is in the last year of their contract so the teams are dumping all their superstars.

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

So 2017 has started the same as 2016. No run support. Andddddd fielding errors costing me runs. Im 3-3 with a 2.08 Era through 10 starts. I was 3-1 before a game vs SF where I lost 1-0, the 1 was unearned thank you very much 2nd baseman. Lost 1-0 to the Dodgers after that. The 1, again was unearned thank you very much SS. Went 8 scoreless vs Milwaukee but we don't score until the 16th so no W. No matter how good the other pitcher is its the same result. No one on the team hits .290 or better, only 2 hit over .270 and as a pitcher im at .203 which is better than 2 everyday position players and I haven't spent a point on batting stats.

I've got my overall to 87 though my adjusted is 97. I'm sure even if I asked for a trade it wouldn't be granted so not gonna bother.

So in conclusion I wish the Diamondbacks would try and surround their #1 pick with talent and outside of having the best pitching they haven't done anything for hitting. Not even in AA or AAA there's no talent

Re: Official MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

I feel like a moron but how do you get new pitches? Couldn't find anything with search.

EDIT : nevermind. Triangle.

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

After the 3-3 start it's really took off for me, 8 starts later I sit at 10-3 with a 1.56 ERA. Arizona has gotten into the NL West race with the Padres. And best of all they traded the player that wore #4 so Im finally #4. And I also made the All Star game.
Though sometimes I wanna chuck the ball at the ump. Last ump didn't give me the corners, where I live with my pitches so I had to throw more in the zone. Still only allowed 1 ER and won but only 3 K's (season low) and gave up 9 hits

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

Got drafted 16th overall in the 5th round of the draft by Milwaukee as a CF Mike Trout wannabe. Gonna go back to 4 year university because I hate Milwaukee.

Ok, drafted 30th overall in the 2nd round of the draft by LA Angels. Not bad. Batting as the DH/starting CF for the AA team.

Re: MLB 15 : Road to the Show Thread

OK guys, I want to talk about something that is bothering me in RTTS. The Ai's God mode. It happens most starts with my pitcher. At random points in the game the AI can't be stopped for a few hitters usually. They take EVERYTHING that is just outside the zone and either crush or foul off everything in the zone.

Am I crazy, or does this happen to you guys, and how do I get around it? It's really turning me off playing the game, because it's very obvious what is happening.
