Official MLB 16 : Road to the Show Thread

Re: Official MLB 16 : Road to the Show Thread

Created a CF patterned after Mike Trout, just to see how the new outfield cameras are in in 16. Could never be able to track down flyballs efficiently in 15. Liking it so far.

Was originally drafted by Tampa Bay, but didn't want to play there so went back to school for one year. Was drafted by Oakland. (Gawd I hope I can get traded before I have to play home games at O.co)

Played a half a dozen games and they've got me playing DH, so I can't even get the hang of playing in the outfield yet......

Re: Official MLB 16 : Road to the Show Thread

This new version looks awesome with all the different challenge options it will be a lot of fun. Good luck to all the regular RTTS players and for all the new players you will love it.

I was in the field and my manger said to play deep, so I backed up.

Been away from The Show for years, but no baseball on Xbox finally allowed me to convince the wife I "needed" a PS4. I used to love RTTS, and even played the heck out of career in 2k on Xbox.

I wasn't sure if I'd remembered wrong, or confused RTTS with 2k, but there are NO goals, no manager/coach interactions like hit and run assignments, bunt, etc. I haven't seen anything telling me to play deep/left/right/shallow as CF, and I dont even KNOW what "challenge options" are. Can someone please help a noob out and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

I don't know what challenge options are either. But there are no more goals or hit and run calls like in the past. They were dusted a few years ago, which to me is a bit of a bummer. I thought the goals back then were not realistic and needing revamping a lot, but it's sad that they are just gone. My belief is your player should have goals, but they should be seasonal ones that go into contract incentives like 30+ HR, 100+ RBI, etc. Not, get 8 RBI over the next 10 games like we used to get.

You will get instruction to play deep or shallow, it's rare though.

I haven't played the show since '11 was an xbox. I loved RTTS so this year I bought a Ps4 and decided to go with a SP got drafted by the Angels & a LF drafted by Seattle.

Well that explains it. It has been a few years. Yeah, sucks not having those goals. Was pretty fun laying down a good bunt or executing a hit and run to perfection, etc. (I know I can still bunt, but hit and run is no longer an option i guess, since you cant control whether runner breaks or not) And if the instruction is rare, then I guess I just haven't gotten it yet. Thanks for the quick reply. At least I know I'm not [THAT] crazy!

Re: Official MLB 16 : Road to the Show Thread

I started a 3B. Loved new scouting aspect of it. I was 1st RD pick of LAA. I don't play minors. I sim until I reach MLB. 2018 I got the call in AUG cause of injury. Played most of month and struggled. Was hitting in low .200. Got sent down for week then called back up 1st week of September. Played better and got AVG up to .240. Helped team make WC game but cause I wasn't on 25 man roster September 1st I out of playoffs. Off season for LAA was exciting though. They got Harper and Machado! I now was backup to Machado so I had to learn how to play other IF positions. Made team out of ST ad UTI. I am playing 4 out of 6 days all over IF. After 1 week I did get my position changed to 2B. After 1st month I'm hitting .340+ with 4 HR. I'm assuming soon I be everyday 2B but can't complain playing 4 days a week.

I have no problems starting a new RTTS, but I am not carrying my save from 15 over until a patch comes out.

Re: Official MLB 16 : Road to the Show Thread

My guy, molded after miggy, as I stated earlier got drafted my Cleveland in the first. Played roughly around 50-60 games in AA with an average pushing .450, 16 HRs and around 35 RBIs playing with the Rubberducks(kinda name is that anyway) got called. up to AAA. First game I went 3-5, HR, 2B, 2RBIs

Re: Official MLB 16 : Road to the Show Thread

the Rubberducks(kinda name is that anyway)

I know man, I live in the area and go to their games all the time. They used to be the Aeros. A new owner bought the Aeros a couple of years ago and said right off the bat he was going to re-brand them. Believe me, when we heard the new name it was a big, collective WTF. But I still go to the games because, well, I love baseball.

I seem to be having problems with Dynamic Difficulty not updating and ball trail shows up even though I have it turned off. Are these common problems? I guess I need to read through some of the other threads around here to get caught up

Not sure about the ball trail, but I'm pretty sure the Dynamic Difficulty is bugged because a lot of people, myself included, have seen the same thing. It may be relegated to a RTTS issue because it seems to be RTTS players mentioning it, but I'm not sure.

So the age and nationality stuff from carrying a save over is still an issue? Have they mentioned when this would be fixed? I've been out of the loop last few days.

I'm waiting to start season 2024. Started my RTTS in MLB 14.

Re: Official MLB 16 : Road to the Show Thread

I didn't even check my guy's age. So those aren't accurate either?

Re: Official MLB 16 : Road to the Show Thread

The volume does seem a little low on the actual crack of the bat. I like the sound effect though.

Absolutely, great sound, but every hit sounds the same whether a dribbler or a screaming line drive. In '15 when you really tagged one you could almost feel it.

Re: Official MLB 16 : Road to the Show Thread

I'm currently playing a third baseman (with second base and shortstop as secondary positions) named D.J. Reynolds. I didn't model him after anybody, but I tried to keep him around the same height and weight I am. After the scout day and showcase games, Reynolds was drafted 11th in the first round by the Seattle Mariners. I am currently working him through AA and as of May 24th, 2016, here are his stats:

.385/.450/.700 7 HR 24 RBI 7 for 8 on SB chances
