Universal rewards. And there are way more player cards than equipment.

OK. Seems kinda discouraging when you're playing RTTS that every pop up "You've won this new reward!" is something I can't use. No huge issue though.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem in RTTS. I'm currently playing in AA and I'm leading the league in HR, RBI and Batting Avg. yet I'm constantly being put 8th or 9th in batting order. Even if I request a change I get moved up to 4th or 5th spot for a game then put back down regardless of performance. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

any way to bump up stolen base numbers in franchise mode? i know that there is a "steal" attribute but with simulation it doesn't really do much. theres almost no point to getting a fast player because the cpu doesn't take advantage of it. dee gordon last season (in real life) lead the league in stolen bases with 58. if i were to edit a player and put him at 99 speed and 99 steal they would have maybe 20-30 steals the whole season.

also, how do you edit the "manager hook" which takes pitchers out of the game sooner. and does it make a difference? i've heard that it doesnt really affect much

Manager hook is in the sliders as one of the options to change. As for the stealing there really is no way to tweak that

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Does anyone know the trick to getting a quick relay home? Especially on the cutoff throw, I am having issues getting the fielder to immediately throw and not do the slide step crow hop animation. I am using the meter throwing also. Is the trick to pre-load the throw? I usually hold the throw button as soon as the fielder grabs the ball. Should I pre-load sooner like before the ball is in the glove?

You need to pre-load your throw.

Is it possible to switch players position midgame? If I pinch hit for my catcher, how can I switch Schwarber (who is playing left field) to catch at the end of the inning.

Go into substitutions and select Schwarber and then highlight whomever is listed at catcher and select him. They will switch positions.

That's what I thought. However in my online franchise I do that and absolutely nothing happens.

thanks. as for the stolen base numbers, i just checked the end of the season stats and its actually not that bad. yeah, they're a bit down from real world numbers but its fine. i had it wrong initially i thought the stolen base numbers were way off.

Are you out of position players? If so it will not work

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

No, its trying to change any position players mid game. I click X on the guy on the left hand side of the screen and scroll down to the guy that i want to flip flop and hit x again. It makes a ding noise and nothing ever happens.

Not sure what's going on then.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Thanks for helping.. I think it may be due to online franchise and not a regular franchise. It is frustrating when I want to pinch hit for someone but can't change their position afterwards. I can do a double switch just fine, just can't do a position swap.

Are you sure the positions are not swapping?
The names don't move from one slot to the other...just the positions get changed.
