Official MLB 17 : Road to the Show Thread

Re: Official MLB 17 : Road to the Show Thread

I just started this mode for the first time ever last night because I can't connect to anything online in the show yet since I have had the game.

I'm a SS ... I got drafted late 2nd round to the nationals. I'm tearing it up in minors now but I 'm going to try to get traded or wish to land on the Cardinals somehow in the future.

so far I have disabled all the show time slow mo crap... don't like that. that's the only setting I changed and I switch baserunning to buttons

and I kept it at beginner at first for my first 25 games to get use to it and up my attributes faster. I'm now batting over .500 and going to switch it dynamic difficulty

mode is kind of addicting. In a way i'm kind of glad the servers are not working for MLB because I honestly would of never touched RTTS probably. what makes this mode addicting to me is how fast you can get games in with the settings and basically upping your attributes... a long with developing to major leaguer... but really upping your attributes and cutomizing your own guy is awesome

I'm going to look at this thread to see what others uses for other user settings

Re: Official MLB 17 : Road to the Show Thread

Created my RTTS player yesterday. SS just like last year.
Then I come in here and read that everybody is a SS...what the heck? :-)

Is there a reason behind this? Other than what I think that it's the most dynamic position with plenty of playing time. My first year I tried out LF and 3B , but found both very repetitive and boring.

Luckily, I got drafted by Pirates (probably my least liked team of all), so I think I'll just restart and try to be a pitcher this year, never even attempted it before.
I just don't want to be like all you guys :-P

Re: Official MLB 17 : Road to the Show Thread

Nice....very nice. Your guy was busting it from the start and good thing the
throw home was off target.

Enjoyed your video.

Thanks.. Usually when I get those it's double or triple with some errors thrown in. My first true inside the park HR. I was relying on that off target throw - would have been close otherwise..

No kidding, right? :wink: I was going to be a 2B as usually but switched to SS last minute. So many shortstops.

Re: Official MLB 17 : Road to the Show Thread

I usually always make a right fielder but this year I went with a Center fielder.I didn't do to well in the showcase game and was drafted in the 4th round by the Twins.

Early in the double AA season the manager asked me to move to left field from center field and I agreed and never looked back.

I was determined to make teams pay for passing me up in the early rounds.
I was batting .426 /23 HRs /76 RBIs /10 Sbs /53 Games in ( 78 Overall ) [Zone hitting - AS]

After those 53 Games I met with my manager thinking I was going to get called up to AAA but to my surprise he hit me with the "No kid you're not going to AAA you're going straight to the show!"

After 13 games in my Batting Avg is .250 / 3 Hrs /7 RBIs
I feel like I will be getting that call to be sent down some time soon lol.

well this my first time playing RTTS and I thought about Center field as well but I played practice mode with Dexter FOlwer. it looked tough

but another reason I picked SS is because I always think it's the most important or dynamic position and the action with double plays and getting balls to your left or right... but also because Ozzie Smith is my favorite player of all time. I picked his batting stance

My plan was thinking I could develop into a good SS and get on the Cards with them moving Diaz to 3B after Peralta is done

My original player in RTTS way back was a second baseman.
I then went through several different first basemen.
My main character now is a Center fielder
I also have a Starting Pitcher


So when starting a new character the choice boiled down to SS or 3B (does anyone even contemplate a catcher). SS seemed like the more interesting option. I am thinking of deleting and starting over though now that I understand that you can still pick a team. I'd like to maybe spend some time as a Boston or Baltimore player and spend more time in the AL east parks.

I tried a C once. I could barely make it through 1 game.

A couple of photos of beautiful Busch Stadium from my RTTS MLB 16 player my ( Cardinals ) 1st baseman I moved over to MLB 17.

Re: Official MLB 17 : Road to the Show Thread

So if I am really unhappy with playing as a catcher will I get a chance to change at some point or am I out of luck? It sounded cool on paper, but man, kind of tedious,

Re: Official MLB 17 : Road to the Show Thread

Re: Official MLB 17 : Road to the Show Thread

If you use your MLB 16 RTTS player, does the equipment carry over into MLB 17 or just the attributes of the player?

The equipment you have on your RTTS player moves over but that is all, I have my cleats, glove , batting gloves from 16 but when I went in to check the only equipment I have for 17 is the ones I either purchased from the online market or from packs I got with my MVP edition. I think if you remove them you won't get them back, just my opinion.
