    Marketing can only work with what they're given. The elephant in the room is that this game and development team reeks of stagnation.


    I work in marketing as well and while yes it's true you can only do with what's been given this is a baseball game that you don't need a bunch of new stuff to drive a good marketing campaign to overcome the lack of new stuff.

        His point was the marketing team doesn’t decide what to market. It’s just their job to market what they’re working with.

I don't care about the "improved" create a player personalization (nothing against it, good for those who are excited about this!) and the "storyline" has always stunk ever since they forced you to be some underdog drafted in the 300th round of the draft in my opinion.

          I just hope they fix the roster management logic since it's out of your control in this game mode. If I led AA in OBP and hits before being called up to AAA and hitting over .300 my entire time there, how do I not make the 40 man / spring training roster? And if my potential is A, please stop trading for vets with 3+ years left on their contracts who play the same position as me...
          Spring Training rosters being limited to the 40 man roster is probably just something that needs to happen technically. I can understand how it might be difficult for the game to be able to handle 90 man Spring Training rosters.

          But not being on the 40 man makes sense. Jackson Holliday had a .928 ops in AA before getting called up to AAA last year. He's the #1 prospect in baseball. And he's still not on the 40 man roster. Teams aren't going to put a young player on the 40 man until they're going to call him up or until they risk losing him in Rule 5.

            I'm okay with these updates and the return of the showcase mechanic (the Combine).

            One of my biggest peeves with the modern RTTS was the fact that even though the game's way of overseeing my progress as a player would talk about how well or how bad I'm doing all the time, I had very little control over the process or any potential decisions I could make, let alone what my responses would impact in the long term. My player had no personality outside of whoever the MLB Network talking head thought I was.

            I'm hoping I'm able to actually build an identity as a player and experience cool things where I don't feel like a passenger, like maybe having a rival player that rises up through the minors with me (like a nemesis system), or maybe I try to build a good relationship with the org that drafted me by talking to my coaches and my teammates, or maybe I'm able to switch agents so that I can get a massive payday when free agency comes. Just give me things to do where I can be a clubhouse cancer or a fan favorite or anything in between.

            Huh? MLB 21 rebuilt Road to The Show in order to tie it into Diamond Dynasty by setting up a "Ballplayer", so things that were in MLB 20, like the Bowman Showcase were removed in order to reintegrate that feature now that the overall game design of RTTS has changed from MLB 20.

              Like what I saw, even if that wasn't much. I'm happy for girls and women who can recreate themselves in the game, like I can in every sports game for a long time ago.

              Also looking for the expended narrative, and the combine, kind of fun stuff for me.

              March 15th will be a fun day!

                How many of you will try and play as a female ball player? With investment time having to be so heavy it will not be easy to play 2 different RTTS (can we even do that?)

                I am always good with something new to try, as long as it doesn't cost us what already works. I will almost play The Show more than any other game and that might not change this year (NCAA could).

                I agree with the others on marketing. You can only market what you are given and allowed to share, I doubt the lack of will hurt sales. It's the reason why major titles are released so often, we still buy them anyways, and if we do not, someone else will take our spot in doing so.

                  They're marketing a baseball game. What I've seen so far is an F to market the game.

                  That's pretty simple.

                    My Great Aunt played in the AAGPBL so I will definitely be recreating her just for fun and to see how she would do in the Majors. I know that it is fantasy, but I am okay with that.

                      They finally removed the tarp in center field at Fenway. About time for that.

                        I don't really play RTTS much. I finally got into one a bit that last couple weeks since Spring Training got started. If I do one at some point, I think I might actually do a female player. Might be pretty cool to switch it up.

                          I'Ve rolled with 8 RTTS in MLBTS23 so I guess I'll have time to add a female player. ;-)

                          My RTTS fun is simply playing AA baseball, getting to know new cities and AA leagues, while having a blast.

                          I understand your point thought, if the goal is to get to the major and unto retirement, having to players makes it a bit challenging!

                          Hope we have fun with the mode this year! :-)
