Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

Quick question in case anyone is experiencing something similar..... I have a cannon archetype RF and I'm having an issue developing Arm Strength. Everything else is coming along decent..... but it NEVER gives me the option to train it on my off days in between series. I only get it randomly and in combination with like power hitting or something like that. Is there a key to triggering the option to develop it more frequently?? Do you need to max out another category or what?? There is no way in game that I have found to develop it so I'm lost. I'm at the allstar break in year 2 and have played EVERY game and my Arm strength is still only right around 70.

BTW..... the cap on it is extended all the way to 99. It's given me option to extend cap frequently but to never train it. Heck.... I get options over and over to develop stuff that is at or right at the max cap. It's frustrating when that attribute is supposed to be one of the staples of the archetype.

One of the issues people have been having. You really can't do anything but wait for the training option unfortunately. I threw someone out at third and didn't get any arm strength gain. Maybe if you do it at home, idk. From what I've seen, people have only been able to progress arm strength through training.

I want to create an CF or 2B this year. Already have a SS and RF. Which rosters should I use or should I just wait till the OSFM opening day rosters come out then start a new one. I feel like starting a new RTTS in 17 and transferring him into 18 is kind of cheating in this new format since he potentially could have max speed right off the bat.

Any of you guys post your highlights from your RTTS games? Always cool to see some of them. I track mine.....only ones that I really enjoy. If you have ...shoot me a pm or post your link so can check them out. Mine's below. Note - I have no interest in number of subscribers, likes, etc. Just having some fun here.

I created a RTTS players using the default rosters in MLB 18 and have a comparable RTTS players over in MLB 17 but this time using the OSFM Offseason Release #9 rosters. A couple of differences are:

1) Default rosters of players on my team as well as my opponents (at least at the AA level) in MLB 18 are all fake players and a number of them look older than than their listed ages and a number of them are sporting these huge beards. Then of course all of their characteristics are made up. To me this is a bit of a negative, but the positive is that all their audio names are assigned and work. Basically you can be up and playing in no time at all using default rosters.

2) OSFM players are obviously based on real world players. Not sure how accurate their likenesses are, but they appear to be younger (matching their listed ages) and some of them are sporting beards, but many aren't. And then of course their skills and tendencies are based on real world data. To me this is a positive but a down side is at least 50% (possibly higher) of the players names do not have corresponding audio files to match. So often the OSFM people left the audio unassigned. So unless you spent the time to reassign the audio names, they are called out as only their Jersey #s by the PA and the announcers.

I guess it all depends on what sort of RTTS gamer you are. If your RTTS games last no more than a couple of minutes and the sole purpose is to get as many games in, in as shortest possible time. Does it really matter who the other players are in the league since you hardly ever encounter much of them anyway. Either roster works if the sole purpose of your RTTS career is to become a Hall of Fame MLB player by next month. But on the flip side if you are the sort of RTTS gamer who wants to emulate what it is like playing in the minor leagues where you take your time playing the games, then the OSFM rosters might give you a better experience.

I chose to take my time in RTTS using the OSFM rosters. But I suspect I am in the extreme minority here. Once a couple of the MLB 18 RTTS bugs are fixed, I will be migrating my MLB 17 RTTS OSFM files (a pitcher and a SS) to MLB 18. But for now I am back playing RTTS in MLB 17.

Well I started a 2B in 17 using offseason 9 and found a mid season save for a 82 ovr CF In AA. decided to bring them into 18. The CF has the minors from the beginning of last year. I’m on the Mariners. They have Tyler O Neil. So I have a CF RF SS that I’m continuing from 17. Then created a 2B in 17 and transferred it into 18. I found I turn more DP’s as a 2B than a Ss. Like putouts.

Anyone have a link or location where all the archetypes and attributes/attribute caps are listed in on place?

I think that's most of them, but it's missing a few...Power Corner and Bat First, for example.

You're able to transfer in a midseason save in year 1?

I remember seeing somebody claim you can't transfer the file right away/you have to get a season in. Wasn't sure if it was true or not
