Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread

Guys, I'm still playing MLB 10, but was hoping someone here could help me out with a question I have. I play as a pitcher in RTTS and whenever the catcher calls for a pitch I don't want to throw, I can't seem to figure out a way to wave him off and get him to give me another location/pitch to throw. The way I've been doing it all along is to just simply choose another pitch and ignore him, or choose his pitch then hit L1 which causes the pitcher to step off. I didn't see anything in the guide as far as a button to push to get the catcher to change his own call.

You can't get him to change the call as far as I know.

In my first year of RTTS, my Sea Dogs (Red Sox) third baseman was traded in the following deal:

Mets receive: RTTS third baseman, Anthony Ranaudo, and Jose Iglesias (all A potential players)

Red Sox receive: Jose Reyes

Mediocre players batting 3rd

It seems like in every rtts i create some no name player is batting third instead of a power hitter. For example, ryan doumit is batting third in my red sox rtts in front of myself and adrian gonzalez, david ortiz, etc. Its usually a catcher with ratings nowhere near what a third place hitter should have. I've seen this with other rtts players i have created as well. Can anyone explain why this is? Is it a glitch inside rtts?

Anyone here have a RTTS that's in their late 30's, maybe even 40s? If so what are your career stats like? I have a 19 year old pitcher for the Rangers. Got called up in August of his first year. I'm in 2012 now. 11-3 sub. 2.50 era. Lots of fun.

on mlb 10 i made kenny powers from eastbound & down as a starter. they let you play until your guy is 48 then nobody offers you a contract and they force you to retire. he ended up having over 6000 strikeouts, 600 wins. he won the cy young and mvp for like 10 years straight lol and accumulated close to $500m through his contracts. once he maxed out all of his skills he was perfect i didn't have to play a game until the playoffs.

i remember hitting with him once and i hit a home run. i heard the announcer say "welcome to the 400 club"

i made him again on 11, except he's a closer. it's 2023 he just turned 30, he broke the season saves record with 64 and he currently has a saves streak of 90. i didn't buy any skill points i've played at least 80% of his games.

i use these pitches
4sfb
rfb - both of those are maxed out on velocity, rfb has max break
slider - max break high 80s
circle change max break
screwball max break low 80s

his era is under 1. playing on all star

I think I'm going to try to create a good closer tonight. With a 4seam slider and rfb

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread

Just bought my first Baseball game last night
started up RTTS and couldn't put it down,
I created a RF got drafted by Mets played through the first 3 months with my AA team. I'm struggling quite a bit only hitting .370 1HR 26RBI struck out 13times at 152 at bats so need to get that down but I'm loving this game so far

Now in my 3rd season traded again to the Pawtucket Red Soxs and I'm two months in batting in the 6th spot I'm batting .423/4/26 which I think is pretty good!

Well, that end of the season / offseason was about as dull as it possibly could have been.

In 2019, the Mets won 112 games , good for the best record in MLB. So I'm thinking we're preparing for a good World Series run. However, after winning game 1 of the NLDS vs. the Cardinals rather handily, we went on to lose the series in 5 games.

So, I get to the offseason, where I'm FINALLY eligible to become a free agent. I was sure to create a separate save file, just in case something weird would happen. Glad I did.

- First time through, the Mets offered arbitration, but I wanted to test the market. Well, the offseason goes by... NO CONTRACT OFFERS. Seems like I remember reading about this "glitch" of sorts in RTTS, but still. To have a 28 year old, all 99's guy, just sitting there in free agency, and NOBODY offers a contract. That's just crazy.

- So I reload. Second time through, the Mets offered a 7 year deal for 118 mil. I up it to 125 mil, and they accept. So, I figured "Eh, we won 112 last year, so should be a good team. And if I want to leave, I'll just request a trade". Of the two options, it seemed the most realistic.

Anyway... very disappointing for sure. Very anti-climactic to play through that many seasons to finally be eligible for free agency, field several offers, etc., and just have no offers at all was just disappointing.

Oh well... METS IN 2020!

I started my career as a 20 year old SS who got drafted by the Reds. I get the call in early 2012 to the show after having a pretty solid first season in the minors. Well, for some reason they never played me AT ALL. I only got two starts and finished the season with less than 20 AB. Im gonna start over now.

It is very difficult to make the majors if you sim the majority of your games because you don't get as many points that way. I play every game until most of my attributes are pretty high or maxed out.
