MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Drafted by the Nats at 1B. Playing for the Sens, I led the EL in batting avg (332) hrs (31) Dubs (42) and slug (732) and still didn't get called up all year. Then to make matters worse, right before the EL playoffs happen I get called up to Syracuse, but they don't make the playoffs so my season is over.

So frustrating, I even tried changing my position and asking for a trade, but they refused to do either.

Spring training in my 2nd year starts when I get home so hopefully I can get some love.

Is pure analog in rtts fielding right for first? Or is it according to player position?

I do believe you can have it set for either right or left.

Here's a new one....

My guy just came back from injury, and in 2nd inning, he gets a ball hit back into his face(and he goes down on the ground in lots of pain...and I got a -4 for poor batter despite my guy almost unable to do anything lol). Though he didn't get injured or taken out lol...


Next inning, I give up 4 runs, and NONE are earned cause my 2B sucks(he's made like 10 errors in the 20 or so games I've pitched). And I still lost despite giving up 0 Earned runs.

Thanks, Man. I figured it out. I have another question if anyone can answer this.

If I use zone timing, or pure analog zone where you use the LS to aim the ball... If I keep PCI off do these modes even matter? I can't stand how big the PCI thing is it's just "blah" for me.

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Definitely have hated the defense that you find in the minor leagues. I'm hate the randomly created SS on the Nats AAA team. He's cost me more runs than I have actually given up.

Anyhoo, made it to the end of the first season. Got called up to AAA in the beginning of July, but sat in the bullpen and got maybe one or two appearances before the All Star Game...which was kind of awkward because I was actually tabbed to start the Futures Game. Threw 2 scoreless innings, pretty nice.

After the break, I was in the bullpen until the beginning of August, but my ERA shrunk to sub 1 levels, got a ton of strikeouts. Things were pretty easy, and then I got rewarded by being moved into the rotation. And then things started going to hell. Suddenly, I lost the ability to easily throw strikeouts...or strikes. I didn't realize that when your confidence is shot, the analog input will screw up on you...at least that is the excuse I've come to. Gave up 5 runs in two consecutive games, less than 5 innings in both games. Ugh. Last start of the season, finally regained some control, won the start with 8 strong innings. Definitely going to invest in more control in the future, and a better H/9 rate.

The Syracuse Chiefs didn't make the playoffs, despite being in a three-way tie for first (which I think is crap), but making a September call-up to the Nationals is a nice consolation prize.

Made it out of AA mid-way through my second month. Had an ok start in AAA, but blew my ACL out in late June and was out for the rest of the year. Tough break.

The PCI is still there, it is just invisible. The left stick still moves it.

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

I made a 3B and chose the Braves to take over for Chipper. I lucked up and got injured in July during my first year and avoided being traded. After the year was over, Chipper signed with the Cubs , which left me and a created player as the best on the team at 3B.

We both stayed in Triple-A the whole year, there wasn't even a 3B on the MLB roster! Then 2 days before the trade deadline I got shipped off to the Reds. Its so frustrating.

****, sorry man this is only my second show that i've bought.

So if the pitch is inside low that's where I am to aim the stick? It's not like: pitch inside aim outside (right) to hit it right?
So I should just use R2+RS to influence direction then pretty much PCI it?
(Sorry for all the questions I'm kind of lost but would like a little bit more control over hit)

Also to keep it on topic. I have a high contact and mid range power for my RTTS. I am striking out a good amount, or just getting weak contact since coming into 3A. Should I up my clutch or vision? I know a lot of it is my fault as I am trying to get more pitches thrown to max out the points. :O

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

I just got traded in my first season to the Cubs for Soriano!

I don't wanna go there. So I simmed again then got traded to Mets for Jason Bay.

Didn't want that either. So I simmed yet again, and this time the DBacks kept me.

Just for that. I'm leaving after my contract expires lol.

Why didn't you want to stay? You would have instantly been the ace.

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

^Trading Alfonso though...I'd prob be the ace, but their offense gets even worse now.


Got traded again for Peralta!

Luckily the game doesn't auto save after trades, so im just resetting each time lol.

I've reset dozens of times, and I kept getting the same trade.

lol, funniest thing is when I go to the interaction and request a trade, they're like "trading you wouldn't benefit this club", then I sim a day, and they trade me.

O well, guess I'll be a Rays prospect now. 1 step closer to the Jays!

lol, now suddenly the DBacks trading block says they're looking for a SP....then why'd they trade me!

LOL I noticed this as well. Both the Dodgers and Braves traded me and when I went to their trading block, it said they were both looking for first baseman. Weird to say the least.
