Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

How about Mike Soroka and his MLB debut last night for the Braves. For those of us who think a 20 year old making their MLB debut in our RTTS games is a tad unrealistic (myself included), here we have a 20 year old in the real world who made it to the Show. A kid from Calgary, former goalie is now an MLB starting pitcher. Most of our RTTS players are unrealistic success stories, but Mike Soroka is proof that it can happen.

Play Ball!!!

Soroka - 20 years old Ronald Acuna - 20 years old Albeis - 21 years old. It's not near as uncommon as it was. Will see quite a few more across baseball that are 21 or younger in next couple of months.

BTW my 2B RTTS character plays in the Braves organization. He is still only in his pro ball rookie season as a 19 year old (he was created in MLB 17 and skipped the first year). But I am planning on taking down Albeis in my RTTS guy's 2nd season.

I sacked Acuna. lol. They moved him to RF initially and then traded Ender Inciarte later and moved Acuna To CF.

I've started a few different ones and only got traded on one of them. Got traded from the Phillies to the Yankees. On my the one I play the most I got drafted by the Braves.... in 4th season with them.

Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

So After having a career year using power swing 75% of the time. I switched back to using regular swing due to being above the power cap of 75 and my power kept dropping...well now I'm having a career year hitting homeruns..go figure

I haven't been traded in 2 careers. But I also have trade slider at 2-3

Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

I find that the only time i have seen traded right after first year is when i was drafted by a contender at that was at the deadline.

I may try that, any deadline deals from your team with it that low?

Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

Two questions:

1. How do you add a 4th and 5th pitch? I never get the opportunity to do it in the training. I can't find it anywhere in the menus.

2. I have started 4 different RTTS files to obtain the post game interview trophy. I never get it even though I tear up AA and get promoted pretty quickly each time. Do I have to watch the complete post game every single game? Do I have to return to clubhouse in between each game? I don't get it.

Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

Does anyone know what's up with the trade logic in this game? Got called up to the show , and in a few months my team had traded away all but one of their stars in the lineup for near-replacement level players. Now I am struggling to carry a team with mediocre pitching that can no longer score enough to compensate. Is the game trying to up the difficulty?

You can control this by decreasing the trade slider or see these threads....

You should get one as early as your first hit (or even start maybe)

Yeah we've made some trades in July still. Actual had a blockbuster trade in the offseason involving Stanton going from Tor to Oak. That was a surprise.

.

You get your pitches once you get to MLB. They are in the Bullpen training and you have to scroll down to see a new pitch, you only learn whatever you team mates already use, normaly a curve, change up, sinker, slider have not seen anything like a knuckleball but.
