Re: Official MLB 19 : Road to the Show Thread

I thought i remembered that if you use a certain difficulty, the game will lower it one for double A and go one up when you reach the majors, is that correct? for example lets say my difficulty is all star, in aa ball it will actually be veteran and hall of fame in majors.

That's correct. What I did was, considering I bat on All-Star difficulty, I moved it to Vet for RTTS. So in AA its actually Rookie, in AAA itll be Vet, and in the Bigs it'll be All-Star. It's easier than changing it every time I get promoted, and if their logic is the different levels are different difficulties, it makes sense to scale it to MLB rather than scaling it to AAA and making MLB harder.

So far, im a 52 ovr but with solid contact ratings compared to other AA players, and im batting .400 which is second in AA. So I'm doing really well, but its not like its unrealistic. But regardless, this is just a test until I start my real RTTS when the OSFM or CRP rerated rosters drop.

Re: Official MLB 19 : Road to the Show Thread

First let me say I really enjoy the improvements to RTTS that I have noticed so far. But, there are a few annoying things I have to talk about.

I was tasked with a timed swing and drive in a run. Batting left handed I hit a homer to right center and got a challenge failed reply. How on earth can you have bad timing when you hit a homer into right center batting left handed.

Several times I have hit lasers for outs to infielders and got a minus for poor contact...what the heck!

Don't even get me started on those stupid mini games to increase your caps. The Pilates was absolutely stupid and impossible for me. Likewise the one where you have a checkerboard shaped square and slow pitch softball pitches are coming at you and you have to make contact. These have zero to do with increasing your baseball skills. At least make them baseball playing related like in past versions of the game.

I am not a fan of arcade style baseball games, if I was I would buy one. Keep it somewhat realistic for me please.

You don't have to play the mini-games. You can skip them and still get the attribute increases. Playing them just gives you an opportunity to earn more.

Disagree on the minigames and dynamic challenges, love both. All the challenges really break things up while pitching in AA.

Loving RTTS so far.

Re: Official MLB 19 : Road to the Show Thread

One thing I will say about the challenges is that we should be able to disable them when in the bigs. I get the point for the minors because its about development, but when called up you dont really care about all that, you just want to win.

Does anyone know how the “call up track” works? It’s located on the top right of the screen where you view your attribute increase/decrease after each game.

So what happened to all the batting stances, I usually use Gary Sheffield or Alex Rodriguez,
again maybe I’m slow but I can’t find them, and if they aren’t there why did they remove them???

They've moved a lot of them into their own categories now. Generic Players, Current players and Former Players. They have most likely been moved there. For example Derek Jeter's stance is under the Generic Players category as Legend Stance 15 there's usually a thread here on with a google search that will tell you what number you're looking for for a certain player.

Which Rosters are you using and what skill trait? I’m deciding on making a CF 2B or 3B. I have a SS SP and LF that I’m transferring over

The updated rosters for OSFM or on the game. I’m going to remake my power speed CF that I quit in 15. I have 3 RTTS right now that I imported. My SS started in 15 SP started in 17 and LF started in 18.

The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp made the AA Shampship and we won in 5, I got to be on the mound to close it out, which was really cool. Allowed two runners on base and I was shook I was going to blow it.

My stat line was pretty gaudy in appearance, something like 3-0, 33 saves, 2.25 ERA, but it was challenging. I had a few blown saves and many close calls. It has gotten harder as difficulty increased to HOF, and I don't breeze through many ninth innings at all. I’m sure there’s a SABR stat that would point out how lucky I’m getting, lol.

I got a Spring Training invite. I hope they don't rush me to the Bigs but we'll see.

Created Small Ball archetype CF playing on Hall of Fame difficulty. I got drafted in 15th round by the Orioles, seems like a lot of people are getting drafted by them. Was playing pretty good heading into second month of the season. In 35 games I batted .342 avg. 23 RBI, 2 Hr, 20 SB, 7 triples.

On May 21, 2019, month and half into my first season I get called up straight to the Majors from Double-A and now I'm the starting CF for the Orioles. Never in the show did I ever get called up that fast before. I'm only a 66 OVR, 94 SPD, 61 Con R, 60 Con L, 24 Power L and R.

Three games in my Major League career so far I'm batting .231 in 13 AB, 3 Hits and 6 Strikeouts. We'll see how long I last. Kinda shocked by this.
