One thing I would like to see more of however, is POINTS!! Points are the lifeblood of building your player and it gets to be difficult to progress your player when there are so many different places to distribute your points. It's not unusual to only get 55 to 80 points in a game and there's not a whole lot you can do with that when you can only disperse them in 40 point or more increments. In my second year in the minors(AAA) I actually hit for the cycle and was disappointed to see after the game that I did'nt receive any points for it. I only got points for the hits individually. I have not done a pitcher yet, but do you get any additional points for a no hitter or perfect game? These are great accomplishments that are RARE and it seems there would be an additional reward for them. Still love it and looking forward to '11.

    You'll get more points each game that you play this year than in year's past in my opinion since you are scored per at-bat rather than if you accomplish whatever the situation was like in previous years. You don't get many points if you sim the games, but if you play the games you'll get more points this year.

      Hey Knight,

      I understand what you're saying, but I was hoping my Road would be more of a Super Highway than a Long & Winding variety. HA HA

      I was going to put the laughing face icon above but I can't even figure out how to get that in the message. I guess we know now why my road will be the long & winding one. (G)

        I hear you...I'm just kiddin' around.
        Heck...that's why you can buy points for RTTS at the PS store.(I can't believe how many did)

          For as little time as I've had this game, I just hope they tweak the trade logic. In my RTTS career, the Braves had Heyward, Kimbrel, Freeman, Minor, Venters and a few others all on the trading block.

          I used the final version of the Full Minors roster set and did some tweaks to the above guys to reflect their real life standing as really promising young players.

          Seeing them all on the block was nuts to me.

            Not only do teams put all their stars on on the block, but I saw a Franchise season once where the Mariners had Pujols, Teixera, and Konerko. Not to mention their AAA 1b prospect was probably the best 1b prospect in the entire league, and they still traded Aaron Hill, their ONLY decent 2b, for Adrian Gonzalez.
            I mean commme onnn.

            I know they added the option to control all 30 teams last year but frankly, it's time consuming enough for one team.
            What I'd like to see is a 'Commissioner' type option, where you could control 1 team, but if any other (Computer) team wanted to put a player up for trade or sign a free agent or promote/demote anyone from the MLB roster, you would get an alert and either Allow it or Deny it, based on that team's needs. It would pretty much function via the honor system, but most of Franchise options already do.

              I really hope they tweak the RTTS baserunning too, it just killed creating a speedy basestealer because even with good ratings it was a complete crapshoot to steal bases. Plus, when the ball was hit it was impossible to tell if it was going to drop in for a hit because of the poor camera angle.

                Back when Turiaf was in the Lakers I really disliked him...but when he joined the Warriors, I loved him and his hard work every night of the game.

                  Something tells me The Show and NBA 2K are gonna be going back and forth trying to out do each other every year now for at least awhile. For 2 years The Show was basically unchallenged in terms of best sports simulation and NBA 2K came along this year and changed the game. If only we had a football title that was this passionate about being the best out there.

                    Sounds really good. I can't wait to try it out.
                    NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.
