Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

My RTTS catcher is losing arm accuracy every time he throws a baserunner out... Is this a bug of some sort or am I not throwing the runners out "properly" or something?

Seriously can't believe there's little to no uproar about the jersey number issue. I guess I really am the only one bothered by it.

On steal attempts? Could you please tell me what the post-game breakdown tab lists as the reason for the ding on arm accuracy?

Update on my guy RF(1B per manager)
I left off at the 2018 All star break. So my first appearance was the Home run derby which I win as a rookie. Beating out Mike Trout with 22 seconds left.

- Home run derby Champ!
1st season WiP in the bigs minus September call ups in 17'
Batting .398 with 34hrs 95rbi & 17sb

(Player has 94 power r/l)
I used mike lowe sliders,

My guy has pretty ridiculous stats at half way mark.
Marlins are trash though I believe we are 3rd or 4th in nl east

You lose your number to any player that is called up or if there's a trade. I have already seen one change In the first month of the season. Last year I had three changes waiting two weeks and just couldn't handle it anymore.

Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

I don't know what to think yet.

BIGGEST FLAW in the new system, is if you pick a hit first or power player, you quickly get bumped to DH, because your Fielding stats are so much lower than the other player at your position.

In the past this would happen (here's the flaw,) but you could use the points you earned from hitting for Fielding.

I don't know what to think. If I spend seasons in the minors because they won't let me shag fly balls in the outfield for fielding points....this game is a waste of hard drive space.

Did you load it from the cloud and then edit or save it, before choosing your archetype? If you did, then it will treat you like you are starting from scratch.

Load it again, but DO NOT save or edit the player. Sim to the next appearance and then you can choose your archetype, and it will work properly.

Any idea how the equipment is going to work when importing from ‘17? I have the equipment on my player, but no cards on the select equipment screen. Really don’t want to lose my Griffey cleats.

Do i have to wait for a patch for my carryover players from 16?

Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

I'm having something happen and I don't want to call it a bug but I literally don't know what to do about it.

My RTTS will not swing through anything. Every time I go to swing, he ends up checking. It doesn't matter when I swing, it's always a check swing. It's the same for analog and button.

What exactly is wrong here?

EDIT: Left the series, switched to zone, and it's gone. Switched back to direction, no issue. Ion know what happened.

Created a 6'4, 215 SS from Florida named Omar Sanchez, and modeled him after Carlos Correa.

He was drafted originally in the 25th round by the Miami Marlins, but I opeted to go to college for one year, and re-enter the draft. He was then selected in the 26th round by the Seattle Mariners.

He is hitting .384 through 9 games in AA Ball.

Woodweaver ... I know you are here to diagnose the bug. But I wanted you to know that I had an awesome experience last night playing as a RTTS short stop in the prospects game where luckily I was the 3rd batter of the home team and as soon as my plate experience ended the "O - Watch Game" button was rendered and I was able to play entire game in the field for all defensive pitches, then be in the dugout watching my teammates bat, or at the plate trying to get on base or luckily I got on base 2 out of the 4 attempts for every single offensive pitch in the entire 9 inning game. But for the life of me I cannot understand why we can't start the game like this. Why do we need to wait for our first plate appearance before we get to actually play the game the way real baseball is played and not these hyper fast sub 5 minute games. If you can't add this feature in the MLB 18 game I understand how release cycles work (I am a developer myself). But this is something that needs to be addressed next year. Come on this should not be hard to change. You have the potential to create such an awesome simulated baseball experience. Why are you guys hiding it? You should be show casing it. If someone wants to play a 5 minute game and cruise through their entire MLB RTTS career in a month then fine, let them do it. But some of us like playing the game the way it is played in the real world. There is no clock in baseball.

Oh how I wish they'd go back to allowing us to start the game that way.
Knowing the ball is coming my way takes so much away from the experience.

Re: Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

Are you still able to go back to school the first year and then choose your team instead of being drafted? Had that in the game last year, haven’t had a chance to test it to see if it still works. I would really hate to be stuck in an organization I have no interest in. Thanks
