    I hit 43 homeruns in AA and didn't get called up to AAA
    started the next season in AA after I got traded.

    I'm going to sim the rest of this career just to see what happens. but this mode is completely broken, I'm not even sure they can fix it. wow.

    wait until the youtube guys expose this madness, LOL.
    I completely disagree.

    I made a third/first baseman with the field general archetype and got drafted by the Tigers, which is great because they had some AAAA guy manning third. As soon as I got hot and went on an 16 game hit streak, they traded him for David Freese. Now I have to close a 10 point OVR gap between Freese and my player because I'm damn sure not catching Miggy soon, especially offensively. But given that Freese is closer to 40 than he is to 30, I know I can wait him out while raking in AAA.

    And I'm loving it. I would have loved to been called up by virtue of a trade, but the game is going out of its way to make me earn it and I'm down for it.
    And may thy spirit live in us, Forever LSU

      I'm really enjoying the mode. I started off in a terrible funk I was hitting below the Mendoza line. The last few Games I've played I've got hot at the plate and moved my average up above 300. I'm a RF. The only thing I'm still getting used to is actually playing the field. It's fun though. I like that I have to work for it to get really good.

          Not really sure how you can disagree with an experience that I had but okay.

          I finally got called up in 2021 after being traded twice, and my RF is a DH for the mariners.

          this year stats mean nothing, you just have to grind away in the minor leagues until your player is up to par with everyone else...I keep reading about people getting called up to the majors from AA but nobody on youtube (that i've seen) has had this happen yet.

            Yes, a bug for starting pitchers. It will be fixed.

                I have my RTTS 3rd baseman still on a save. I will upload pictures tonight when I get home and you'll see my stats and call up. I went straight from AA to MLB I promise. It was for the Orioles.

                To be honest I'd rather wait and progress through AAA to make sure I'm ready until I get called up to The Show. It's more realistic that way. If it took me 3-4 years to get called up then so be it. That would be immersive for me.

                  I will be starting a new Field General Catcher this year. Pumped about how realistic the character creator has gotten. I was able to make myself and my exact batting stance as well. It's a RTTS dream!

                  Just got signed by the Marlins. Hoping to head to the Royals if they get rid of Salvy or to the Rockies later in my career.

                              Did your equipment carry over? I'm tempted to start a player in 17, put him on the team I want to play on and then import him. Kinda bummed they took that out this year.

                                Yes the equipment carried over but with no perks to make you any better, you still have to get stuff off the market as usual to get the perks from the equipment, if you like to do that kind of thing.
