Re: Road to the Show Thread

Good game so far. Ive created a catcher and a Pitcher. The one thing I have noticed is its a real drag to get your player to hit the ball well. I usually play on All star and HOF and this year started at Vet due to the player attributes. Im in 1 month so far and havent hit a home run yet with my catcher. Picther is 1-2 with a 2.34 ERA avg 9 KO a game for the mets Organization . Catcher is in Indians

I agree. I usually play on all star but this year I'm on veteran solely because I cant hit home runs on all star. My guy has over 80+ on contact, power, plate vision, plate discipline, clutch and more yet I can barely hit home runs. Pitch speeds are much faster on all star.

I'm not the biggest baseball fan, so I usually rent The Show. I don't have the best plate discipline, so I usually stick to Closer. I got drafted 3rd round to the Phillies. I spent 2 full seasons in AAA despite putting up good stats. The issue was that I was putting the tokens solely into Pitching stats. So after 2 seasons, I was still 55 OVR, but with good pitching attributes. But as soon as I started raising my Tools, my OVR instantly starting rising. Within the first few weeks of 3rd season, I got up to 60 OVR and got called up to AAA. Within first 2 months of seasons, I went up from 55 OVR to 66 OVR since I focused on raising Tools. I don't mind it, I see it as my player had the raw talent, but but lacked the fundamentals and is finally putting it all together. Ideally, I can get called up to the Majors after a couple more months

Anyone know why base runners are stupidly aggressive this year? They are rounding bases trying to go home when they have 0 chance of getting there.

I've enjoyed it so far but there are two things I continue to despise. 1st, the announcers are as bad as usual, maybe worse - saying the same things over and over again. 2nd, the RTTS story has never improved. I don't expect NBA 2K level but it's so bad you might as well just not have it. No speak, texting takes forever - why even have an agent. Just give us options to request a trade or switch positions but the agent and her texting is annoying. And the thing that is so minor but bothers me .. when I talk to coaches in their office why are we sitting so far from the table 😀.

I understand the decision that you can’t put your created player on your DD team anymore for online play vs other players but I would’ve liked if it was still possible for conquest and stuff where there aren’t other human players involved.

I mean it takes way longer to build a somewhat decent player than it used to be so at least give us some more options to play with them in the different baseball worlds.

I used to know a stripper named Amber. But she was a three-way player.

Started two RTTS here. First one is a catcher that made it through high school (lost in the finals), then went on to TCU (lost in the finals there as well ). Got drafted in the 5th round by the Indians (refuse to use that G word, live long Cleveland fan!!!!), Took my three seasons minor league ball to finally make it to the Big Show. Got promoted when Bo Naylor got demoted, which I thought was strange. Team even traded for Connor Wong for Boston. The one thing that annoys the crap out of me is all the bad throws the pitchers make. And trying to call pitches for the pitchers on occasions is an absolute train wreck. I can understand the occasional wild pitch, and an occasional missed catch or pass ball. But, getting Clase to hit his mark is horrible, this needs to be fixed!!!!

My second player is a shortstop. I made it through high school and won the high school championship, and got drafted by Milwaukee in the 4th round. Having an absolute blast with this one. In August of my first season, up to Triple A Nashville and waiting for the call up. I find it funny my guy is an overall 69 right now, and the best SS on the team is Monrsterio, at an overall 66 right now. I did get called into the office to talk about the upcoming games, and was told I'm not living up to what the team expects, even though I hit over .400 for the last month. But, I'll see if this guy gets the call up by the end of the year.

No outs guy on 2B I put a good bunt down towards 3rd. The runner on 2B never runs. Never. I mean there is no one covering 3rd and bupkis. Stupid game.

How in the world do you slide to the left or right when stealing a base in Rtts this year? Previous years it was easy and even after a hit running the bases I have no issue sliding left or right. However, when I try to steal a base my player either slides head first or feet first. On PS5 I hold L1 and push left/right with the right analogue but always head/feet first. Only when stealing...
