    I would think when you throw to 1st that that would increase it. I have a cf and I was trying to throw to 3rd and home and was getting negative to my arm strength. As soon as I started hitting my cut off guy, I was getting positive arm strength.

    Madden get rid of the extras (SS/XF, HFA, media, scenarios, game plan) or turn them down considerably.

      Yea I would think so too, but throwing the ball to first only ups my arm accuracy not arm strength.

        Still seeing no gains? This should be fixed. As for new pitches, you learn those in the MLB.

          Interesting. Who is in front of you? What does your competition for the position look like?

            Are you sure this is not Arm Accuracy by chance? Arm Strength can only be gained through Focus Training sessions.

              Hmmmm. Now you got me questioning it lol. I thought it was strength. I haven't played in a few days. OSFM rosters dropped, so I been working on my personal edits, equipments, and such. So I haven't started anything yet. I'm going to recreate my CF this weekend so I'll have to look then. If it is accuracy and not strength, my apologies for the miss information.

Not sure if you'll be promoted like I was in MLB 17, but the swap from a starter to the closer is scripted in the game. It sucks, but at least in MLB 17 it was only temporary.
                This is still temporary. The club will try you out in another position to see if you do well. They only ask you to stay, if there is an organizational need for it. It is a way to emulate what they do in the minors. Sometimes you will hear about an organization :stretching a guy out", in order to convert him into a starter, because there is a need for it.

                  Oh no worries.

                  It is a new system and I expect a growth period for all of us.

In 40 games in the big leagues I’m batting .333, 11 HR, 31 RBIs, and 2 SBs which is pretty impressive if you figure I have 25 speed. I’m playing on Dynamic difficulty and it jumps between All-Star+ and Hall of Fame now.

                    Dynamic Difficulty is how RTTS is meant to be played, especially this version.

                      So I did some batting cage training last night with my 2B which increased his left and his right contact hitting by 2 points. However when I went in to play my game this evening and before even making it to the diamond for the game, SDS took away the 2 points they gave me last night. Perhaps the 1.0.6 update had something to do with this? I don't know. I made a point to save the progression after training, but now it's gone. You just can't get ahead in this game can you. It's one thing to lose progression because you make mistakes on the field. But that's not the case here.

                      I was very active in the field in my game this evening and one of my defensive CAPs is poised to roll over into the next level in the next game. I am going to need to keep an eye on it to see if it too gets taken away before I even hit the field like these training points were taken away.
                      I am really sorry to hear that you lost points, without playing or simulating a game. The fix that went into 1.06 was to fix an issue, where you would not drop below 60 in speed or arm strength. These are the attributes that you cannot earn base gains, from just playing the game.

                      I am not entirely certain what happened to you, in this situation, but I do apologize.

                        1.) How do you raise arm strength at 3B? Nothing I do in the field will raise it and when it shows up in training it says I can’t raise it. It’s stuck at 62 and I can’t get it to go any hire.
                        2.) Is there a bug in Training?? Sometimes there will be options to choose that has three things it works but only one of them will improve while the other two stay the same. The other two have not reached the cap even closely.

                        I love the changes to RTTS, but I’m just wondering if I’m missing something, if that’s how it is, or if it’s a bug.

                        Hey JBKilla,

                        Answers:
                        1. You gain in Arm Strength, through Focus Training sessions and not in game.
                        2. This sounds like you have earned enough points to increase one attribute to a new whole amount (51->52 or 53, etc.), while the others are progressing partially (51 1/3 -> 51 3/4). Certain attributes cost more than other to increase.

                        Does this help?

                          Edit:
                          Alsø wik it appears you won't get the reaction bonus only if you use r3 to track the entire flight of the ball. If you release r3 before you get to the ball marker you should get the reaction bonus.

                          Alsø alsø wik when given the option to throw to 2nd when you know the runner at 1st won't advance just throw to the cutoff man for an easy bonus to arm accuracy.
                          We'll take a look into that. I have not seen this issue. Did you check your Breakdown screen, after the game? Did you still get credit for the reaction and it shows there?

                          It might be that the camera view does not like the on screen display.

                              I got drafter by the padres at catcher. The gm is so dumb. We we were 30 games back and we were trading some of our prospects for high 70 overall guys. The only prospect they brought in was AJ Reed, when we had Hosmer and a b potential 1b already. The trade was also doumb because the Astros brought in a rf who would delay Tucker making it and the guy wasnt much better than Reddick.
                              Then in the offseason they traded me to KC despite being the second best catcher in the org. I backed out to an older save because i didnt want to wait on Perez leaving.

                                A few of things I wish they would finally address in RttS: Umpires are behind the plate for two straight games and then the next game they are at 1st base instead of rotating around the horn from third. Awards such as gold gloves are mainly based on the team name and fielding percentage. The records that can be broken have been the exact same for the past 10+ years.
