Yea I'm sure. I'll try again tomorrow but I'm 99.9% sure it doesn't do anything.

Is there a simple way to view all top 50 prospects in franchise? And do they change throughout the year? My 19 year old SP wasn't a top 50 prospect until nearly two weeks into May and now he has the emblem in the roster screen.

I don't believe there is a way to view them all in one area, and yes, they do change. I'm not sure what causes the change, or how frequent it is.

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.

Yeah I am not a fan of the SB numbers in the game either, but I don't even look at that stat. Maybe because my real life favorite team has no speed at all lol (Mets)

Does anyone ever notice if putting in a reliever in the game cold affects how he plays? I haven't really ever noticed anything when it comes to struggling out of the pen being cold.

Ok I got hosed again yesterday as an RTTS pitcher, pitching a batter outside and had no idea my infielders had a full shift on, which resulted in a routine ground ball to the opposite field going through for a base hit.

To anyone playing an RTTS pitcher - how do you check your infielders and outfielders positioning while pitching?

Have you tried pressing down? I'm not sure if that would work in RTTS, but that's how you do it in exhibition/Franchise/etc.

Doesn't seem to work in RTTS when you're pitching.

Does The Show distinguish in practice between fly ball pitchers and ground ball pitchers?

Does the game not show how they're positioned at the beginning of each at-bat?

No it doesn't.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Is there anyway to see a set list of all the upcoming free agents? I know you can search by contract year but that list gets filled up with guys who are still arbitration eligible so there is no way they will actually become true free agents. Is there another search option I need to look at?

does Edwin Encarnarcion have his homerun trot in the game? Haven't seen it in spring training.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Ive never felt so embarassed to ask a question but Im at a loss so here I am....How do you lay down a successful sac bunt with a SP in this game? Ive played 50 or so games and Ive done it successfully twice, I can lay them down thats not the issue, the issue is they come rocketing off the bat and the CPU grabs it, spins and turns a double play off of what should be a fairly routine play. I dont know what Im doing wrong here, Ryu just had a ball dead middle of the plate, I was holding triangle and down using directional hitting, and the ball came flying off to Rizzo who grabbed it, spun and threw to second off balance starting an easy double play. I could watch every game this entire season and not see a team hit into half as many double plays off sac bunts like Ive already experienced in 50 games or so of my season. Any advice perhaps? Im at a loss and its basically destroying the game for me as it takes the entire concept of small ball and moving runners over worthless.

Hmm. I play as a starting pitcher in RTTS and I never have an issue laying down a sac button. I don't use the joystick to direct the ball, just press the triangle and hold it as soon as the pitcher goes into his windup. That may not help much, other than it can be done (but I can't tell you what I am doing differently from you.)
