Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
Please tell me where that is! I looked for it when someone else mentioned it, and the only thing I could find was a setting that implied it didn't work in RTTS.
And I guess if I do that, will I see what happens, or just skip ahead in the game after I get on base?Comment

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
Go to the mode option (in RTTS). Down the list, you have an option for BR opportunity (or something named like that). You can choose to manage none, all, or only when you are the lead runner, etc.
handy if you hate BR aspect of the game.Comment

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
Also, after the pitcher delivers, you can switch the view to pressbox cam (or something similar) by holding L2 down.
I think a lot of BR frustration stems from the difficulty of distinguishing line drives and fly balls (e.g., if you cannot see the 3rd base coach...), but with this cam, you can do that very quickly. Decide whether you want to take of or not, then go back to the BR view by releasing L2...
This is somewhat of a hidden trick but sure does help BR!!Comment

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
Okay, I'll try that too, I knew about that one, but haven't been using it much, and certainly not as the pitcher delivers.Comment

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
Good points. The only reason I actually do BR training is to just got a few points so it doesn't decline over time, which basically means stealing like twice then quiting. I'll try what you've said and see if it helps, as long as the CPU doesn't decide to swing at an 1-0 pitch lol.
Anyone think that hearing Lincecum pitch to Posey is odd? How about if they are in Phillies uni's? That's how it is in one of my RTTS players, odd thing is, the Phillies haven't even been to the World Series yet since. Not only is that kind of odd (4 years in this RTTS), but from what I remember the teams in the previous World Series has been the Reds, Marlins, Red Sox, Athletics, and Braves. I may have left out one, i think the Sox have been twice though, but I really doubt in the next 3 years we'd see those teams other then the Red Sox and maybe... maybe... the Braves, though I even doubt that.Comment

I didn't make it to the All-Star Game despite leading the AL with a .375 AVG and .437 OBP with full playing time. Thanks CPU fans.

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
Well it has been a couple weeks (gametime) since I've been called up to the Tigers. After winning the first two games, the team has slumped badly and lost 9 in a row, falling from first to third in the division. I really think they called me up too early and I'm simply not ready, even though I was completely bombing in AAA. However, it is like night and day. In the Majors, my player is really struggling in comparison.
I've struck out 7 times since being called up--I had 12 Ks in the entire AAA season up to that point. I still make decent contact a fair bit but all those balls go straight at guys instead of finding the gaps. Almost all my stats are still below 70, minus contact and speed, and it really shows now at the MLB level. I'm definitely performing like a "D" player. I'm concerned now that my balance in ratings is going to really hurt me, so I think I'm going to focus on certain things for a while and use my points exclusively in those areas.
It is strange how in AAA those ratings did not seem to hurt me, but now I'm at the top level I'm like a completely different player. At least there is a tangible difference between the leagues, but it almost feels too steep to be real. Regardless, I'm hoping I can get off the Tigers, but I doubt I will. The team has badly mishandled me up to this point, and I never wanted to play for them to begin with. My shot at ROTY is also likely gone as I only have August + September to put up amazing numbers which isn't likely to happen. I'll easily reach 130 at-bats though to kill my qualification.Comment

For All-Star Voting, you should aim to be the highest vote receiver for your team. Even if you're one of the top 3 position players or 5 or 6 in SP/CP, if you have a teammate ahead of you there's a chance you might get overlooked.Comment

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
Yeah, Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez and Brett Anderson were ahead of me. Still, I would've thought leading the league in batting and on-base would get me in. How often does the league's leading hitter not make it to the ASG?Comment

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
I don't recall that he won the batting title last year but he was in the running, and technically he did make the All-Star team but that was with the Fans Final Vote to add the last member of the roster for each league but... last years MVP Joey Votto got snubbed in the initial naming of All-Stars
You should go win the MVP and the Hank Aaron... that'll teach the CPU not to put you in the All-Star Game
I'm still hot about not getting picked for the Double-A All-Star Game after my guy played in the Futures Gamehttp://www.twitter.com/jconWORD <- FOLLOW ME! ...WORD!Comment

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
So I finished the 2016 season. The Reds made to the NLCS but didn't have the pitching to make it past the Cardinals, who went on to win the World Series. Pujols retired after the season. I got all my hitting and baserunning attributes up to 99, will work on fielding next year.
Now to the offseason: the Reds offered me a 3 year deal for 55.5 million on a 3 year deal-18.5 million per year. I asked for 185 million over 10 years with a player option. We settled on a straight year 18.5 million for 10 years. It's escalating, so I'll make 14.7 million this year.Comment

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
I have notice an oddity while playing a speedy left fielder and I was wondering if others have experienced it.
<O
</O
While on 2nd base I extend my lead twice which causes the pitcher to spin for a pick off play. While he’s turning I break for 3rd and make it 3 out of 4 times (the 4<SUP>th</SUP> is because the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> baseman has super human speed for the tag). When I do make it the game does not give me credit for a stolen base. I only get credit if the pitcher is pitching when I break for 3<SUP>rd</SUP>. I don’t do this a lot because I feel like I’m taking advantage of a broken part of the game. So is it cheating for me to steal 3<SUP>rd</SUP> this way?Comment

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
Depends on 2 things youre BR ability and Speed if speed is 90+ and BR ability is 80+ its not cheating, and should be a stolen base, this can happen with super fast players like Juan Pierre types it just doesnt happen all that often cuz in real life the coaches will have heart attacksI have notice an oddity while playing a speedy left fielder and I was wondering if others have experienced it.

Re: MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread
Cool, dunno if I could sign a 10 year deal even with Toronto I like to move around, but ya its too bad money doesnt affect other things in the game really in RTTS Thatd be cool if RTTS became a little more of a an RPG, like buy condo than Mansion, Sports car than luxury, get married have kids etc... not that you would live a movie or anything just a little something extra like a few screens and "personal accomplishments"Comment
