    RTTS: CPU Lineup Management Issues


    so im a closer for the blue jays and everything was great, made the All Star team and now im ready for the stretch run...

    Apparently my CPU controlled GM made some trades to improve the team, which is awesome and im glad the game incorporates this. However, the cpu traded away the catchers on my team and now they have Cameron Maybin (who is an OF) catching some days and Troy Tulowitski (a SS) catching on others.

    SO i come in to shut the door in the 9th, strikeout J.D. Martinez but my "catcher" cannot handle breaking ball pitches so the ballrolls to the backstop and martinez gets to 1st base. They sub in a fast runner, bunt him to 2nd base, the runner gets to 3rd when my "catcher" drops a fastball right down the middle, and then he scores on a sacrifice fly to give me my 1st blown save and subsequent talking to pep talk from the manager.

    I wasnt gonna make a big deal of it until i went and checked my teams lineup and pitching rotation. Maybin is the actual starting catcher because my team doesent have a catcher on the roster! so its not a glitch that puts him in the game when i come in or something.

    Basically this RTTS career is over. Without a real catcher it is pointless to continue. My only other option is to sim out the rest of the season and hope its better next season. This is a problem, and i hope i posted this concern correctly so it gets seen/heard (the thread with the link where all the comments get deleted had nowhereto post this glitch as like it says).

    Also, once i figured out how to equip my player with the equipmentfrom the marketthat i own, i was happy with the game forthat. However i equipped a wrist guard, but being as pitchers 1)arent aloowed to wear wrist guards or bands or anything like that and 2)look dumb as hell pitching with a wrist guard, i unequipped the wrist guard from the equipment menu. However, some sort of glitch happened to where unequipping the brand name wrist guard immediately equips me with the default brand wrist guard. ANd since he is a pitcher, there is no option in the edit screen to remove a wrist guard, SO NOW IM STUCK WITH MY CLOSER LOOKING LIKE A LOSER WITH A WRIST GUARD! Sorry to yell but it sucks cause i had high hopes for this RTTS but now it looks like im gonna delete him.

      Re: RTTS: CPU Lineup Management Issues

      Ugh! This same thing is currently happening to me in my RTTS. I am a starting pitcher in AA. Everything was going great until I got traded to a new team. Turns out, this new team's catcher is injured for 2 months and there is no back-up catcher, and the game won't call down a catcher from AAA for the time being, so it is only position players filling and they cannot catch ANYTHING!!!!

      I am giving up countless unearned runs because batters are reaching first base on a strike out, and then slowly advancing all the way home because my "catcher" is allowing pass balls on pitches right down the middle. It has made the game unplayable for me and I do not know what to do because I do not have a save from before I was traded.

        My RTTS player is a catcher, hallelujiah!

        Wish I had anything helpful to actually contribute to this but as Nomo basically put it, unfortunately you are kinda s.o.l. until they fix this with a patch

              Dont worry, it would not matter if u did have a save, after digging around ive learned its a major issue and is happening to everyone. Even the computer controlled teams are suceptible to it. My suggestion to u is to do what i did and just sim the season and hope next year u get a catcher. Wasnt so bad of an option for me at least it saved my guy from having to get deleted.

              Something is wrong with the trade logic of the cpu obviously but ive also seen alot of complaints from just passed balls in general, even from regular catchers so...

              whats strange to me is i have been playn the show since its creation, and i dont ever remember having/seeing so many flaws/glitches like this. Maybe i just notice them now that there is a forum like this for me to vent my frustrations lol

                  This made me giggle a bit. In my Rtts I played a team (had green uniforms) in Double A. The catcher was obviously not a catcher by trade...he literally couldn't catch anything...not fastballs, not braking balls etc. Every single pitch that was thrown was dropped by him...I even tried to steal 4th because of it...but he managed to tag me out only just since my idiot of a player didn't slide properly.

                  But was hilarious trying to see this fool trying to be a catcher and not coming close to succeeding.

                    It is not just catchers, I'm in year 2021 as a Padres 3rd baseman. The Rockies have no player on their MLB roster that has SS as a primary OR secondary position. They have some rookie 3rd baseman playing SS and he can't make any plays.

                      I've seen it with other positions too. In my RTTS game with the Red Sox they didn't have a first baseman for most of one season. In fact, they only had two first basemen in the entire organization and one of them was out for months on the DL. It wasn't as serious as not having a catcher but cpu roster management does seem to have some serious issues.

                        This happened to my RTTS a couple years ago... My RTTS player was on the Giants, once I made it to the majors they traded Buster Posey for Mark Trumbo and some relief pitcher I don't even remember. But besides that horrible trade, they don't sign or bring up a catcher, so Nori Aoki became the catcher! Lol
