    Yeah, the top one Bullpen, could of sworn it popped up in Training Facility but when I went back after saving and quitting it was in Bullpen. You will see a selection of your teams pitchers and each one will offer a different type of pitch to learn.

    I'm going to add a Circle Change to my closer and see how that works out

      It's a nasty pitch for me so I hope it turns out well for you

        My stats were ridiculous on dynamic mode for AA. I played for the Mets organization as a power hitting 3b and hit over 600 with like 72 HRs and 200 RBI and didn’t get called up at all.

        I signed as a staring AAA 3b but made the big league team in spring training. I killed it again all year hitting 500+ with 48 HRs and 102 RBI and only got 236 at bats. I made the all star team as a bench player, but still couldn’t start over Frazier. Just after the All Star game I had a higher rating than Frazier, but never ended up being the full time starter. I was ROY and led the league in HRs and they still didn’t start me. We made the playoffs and I didn’t get a single at bat before being eliminated, even though I led the team in basically every offensive category.

        Long story short don’t expect to start in the majors until after your rookie year. It is crazy and so stupid. Either the game just wants to frustrate everyone or the Mets have the dumbest GM and coaching staff ever. Lol!! Good luck!

          Just had a AA game with six passed balls in an inning after I'd already restarted a game where I had 4. I was pitching. Anyone else seen this?

            Not that many but yes. Your control sucks and your catcher is terrible so it makes sense by video game logic. What’s worse is having the defense behind you make 5 errors over your first 2 big league starts, making those your last 2 starts as those terrible box scores get you sent to the bullpen permanently

              If anyone is interested here is the pitch speeds you can get to with the different pitches in the different archetypes. I will be working on Closer tomorrow. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...yX8/edit#gid=0

                play SS or 2B. You get in on a lot more action on defense so you'll constantly be getting arm accuracy, reaction, and fielding points

                Reaction is gained much like last year. If you react, within a certain window of time, then you receive gains. You may be in that neutral zone. I would suggest looking at the breakdown screen and seeing if it appears there. If it does, then it might be a bug in the on-field display. Let me know if it does appear there and not on-field.
                Yea I'm not getting reaction on the ones it doesn't show it. So I probably am just missing the window by a little bit

                  Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

                  I'm glad to see that other people are having many of the same issues that I am. Currently a RF, sometimes 1B, hitting .356 with 20 HR and 73 RBI through 122 games of the season.

                  Of course, for some reason, I've been getting benched a decent amount. Out of those 122 games I've only played in 90 of them. I'd say that over the last 2 months I've only played in 1 out of 3 full games and then came in as a PH in an additional game per series.

                  For reference, I'm second in HR in AA with 140 less AB than the lead. This is getting a bit frustrating. It's also frustrating to see a lot of people saying they basically skipped AAA. I'd rather spend a bigger chunk of time there than in AA.

                    Has anyone started out on an absolutely horrid team and had them build a contender around you? Just curious how trade logic is working in those type of situations.

                      EDIT: It looks like this was answered previously.
                      I play full presentation RTTS games where I am in the field for every pitch and in the dugout or taking my turn batting for every pitch. I am not someone who only plays their plate appearances and fields the ball a couple of times a game. My games take at least 90 minutes to play versus < 5 minutes. I am in it for the long haul where it could take me one or more real world years before I make it to the show. For me it isn't about the destination, it is about the journey and I am only 20 games into my young RTTS career. I do BP prior to every game and so far I have only had fastballs in BP. But it sounds like sometime in the future that will change.

                        Question...is my promotion to the bigs based solely on who's in front of me? I'm a SS playing for the Tigers and I am KILLING it in AAA a year after KILLING it in AA.

                        What sucks for me is the Tigers have a young 86 rated SS who has 3 years left on his deal.

                        Am I screwed?!

                          Ok I'm guessing this is a glitch but at the all star game i don't think your equipment boosts count. I'm fine withthat but there are certain regular season games where they aren't giving me the boost as well. When I hit the left directional button to access the mini-attribute screen my boosts aren't active for whatever reason

                            2 questions
                            1) do you have to wait for 6 mlb seasons to be a free agent or do they have restricted free agency like the nba?
                            2) how do trade requests work?

                              This is why I love not picking my team. I am a huge Indians fan. Now I would love to play for them, but I went through the showcase as a CF and am now playing for the White Sox....... to have to play against my team, and be in the same division. To have to face Kluber, Cookie, and Salazar. Have to get one past Lindor, Ramirez and Kipnis. That's going to be exciting. Cant wait to hit the bigs. Lets hope the dumb computer trade logic doesn't ruin that before I get up there.

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

Every time arm strength is in Focus Training it says something like “You can not train this attribute” even tho I’m not even near the cap. As for the three attribute training thing, one attribute you can see is going up but the other two attributes will have two dashes and no movement at all. If I need to I can send a pic of it wherever you need me to.

                                Also, is there any way for y’all to show the swing analysis after a ball has been in play in RTTS?? It’s frustrating as crap to think that I put the PCI right on the money but then to just get a lazy pop fly. That probably means that I got under it but it’d be nice to be able to see the swing analysis after a live ball instead of just on foul balls or swing and misses.

                                Let's see if I can help you out here.

                                If you are seeing a training option and it has "--", then that means you are only increasing it a smaller amount. This is due to not having enough points accumulated to increase it more. So, for example, you are increasing the attribute from 65.25 to 65.75. Does that help?

                                As far as the swing analysis goes, we can look into that and what it would take.
