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

Has this happened to anyone else? Its happened twice now, so it may be a bug. But I am getting warnings/benched for stealing when running on a hit-and-run call.

I love being on the road and getting booed my next AB after I hit a home run in my previous one.

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

Forgive me if this isn't the proper place to put this question, but it directly relates to my RTTS career and I didn't want to clog up the board with another new topic.

In MLB The Show 11, I was normally an infielder, so I rarely had to contend with fly balls. This time around I decided to make a left fielder - got drafted to the Dodgers (yikes!) and have gotten a dozen or so games under my belt.

My question/concern - I have switched off any sort of assist in my player movement (i.e - when the ball is hit, he won't take a step or two towards the ball) however I am noticing when a ball is hit anywhere except in front of my player, he ends up taking one or two steps in the wrong direction, which is costing me dearly at times.

For example: A fly ball is hit back behind me. The camera, which was facing home plate now flips back and is looking at the fence. To my perspective, I should be holding "up" on left stick to move back to the fence, however he will take a step or two towards home plate as if the input is lagging behind the camera (still thinks "up" means towards home). By the time it corrects, it's either a close play or a dropped ball.

Just to make sure I wasn't doing something subconsciously, I've even placed the controller in my lap to make 100% sure I didn't leave on any sort of assist.

Any ideas, suggestions on how I can correct this? Or is there a preferred camera setting you outfielders use that would correct this?

Any help is appreciated!

Don't react to the ball until the camera has flipped or you see what direction you need to start running. It sounds lame, but it will stop the movements forward by trying to react to quickly.

For next year i want the money you earn in RTTS to mean something. Kinda like what NBA 2K did with My Player. What's the point in signing huge contracts in RTTS? Just sign a small amount of money so your team can go out and sign better players to win a championship. (obviously you wouldnt be playing for the Red Sox or Yankees)

Let us buy things with the money that we make from our contracts.

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

Is anyone else having any batting-related goals for an RTTS pitcher? My SP (currently in AAA rotation) has been told for three straight evaluation periods to keep his slugging percentage above .300. Opportunities to improve a pitcher's slugging don't happen often enough in the minors.

Blue Jays receive: Me (AAA shortstop), and random prospect
Twins receive: Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Bautista, Brandon Morrow

Not the fairest of trades, if I do say so...

Even so, I did make the majors at the end of April 2013, and am still a bench player. Hitting around .270 or so, 2 HRs, 15 RBIs. Not awful, but gotta get that starting job past Yunel Escobar.

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

Randy Johnson has made the major leagues! Boston called me up on 8/9, just in time to strike out some Indians. No rotation just yet, but it wasn't long before I got into the AAA rotation, so it should be good. They have some high expectations, though. I have to give up 5 or fewer hits and 2 or fewer runs in the next 7 series. Hopefully I stay out of the rotation or that will be toast in a start or two.

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

I am the #1 3B for the Red Sox. However, after a broken foot that ended my year last year in AAA I am still in AA for this year. I am currently hitting .330+ in AA and it is June. Just wondering when I am going to get the call-up. Especially since I am #1 in the organization.

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

CP drafted by the Astros..... They have continued to trade away everything decent they have for minor leaguers and garbage.... I started in AA as the CP and got to 30 saves with over 40 K's and an ERA of 1.12 - Got the call to AAA where i am a bulpen pitcher being under used. I currently sit as a SU man with a stat line of

10 GP )( 2W-0L )( 0.64 ERA )( 0 SV )( 3 HLD )( 22 SO

Anyone able to help me out?

You might consider a Knuckle Curve. It can be pretty nasty if developed.

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

Started a David Ortiz-esque 1B today. When I created him I moved his sliders all the way over for strength, power, and fielding. He started out with over 60 power lol. Got drafted by the Reds and traded to the Marlins by the end of May. He hit 20 hrs and 60+ rbis until he got called up to AAA in June. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Marlins purchase his contract and call him up in September.

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

Well after getting called up, I got destroyed at the major league level. In just 12 innings pitched, gave up something like 25 hits and 14 runs. Did get a save. At least when I was at AAA and wasn't yet in the rotation, they let me do long relief. Most of these appearances were just one out or one inning appearances, which suck. My mentality is so much easier when pitching as a starter. It sucks being brought in with 2 or 3 men on and not being completely ready (which makes no sense; should have been in the bullpen long enough that 8 warm-up pitches gets you ready) and pitching from the stretch. Just doesn't work for my mindset. For 2013, looks like Boston wants me to start as a set-up man, so hopefully at least starting innings out with no one on and no outs will make it a bit easier to get the job done.

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

Absolutely tore up AA & AAA hitting about .375 with 22 HR's and 90+ RBI. That's my combined stats

I got the call to the MLB for the Reds...12 AB's in I'm 0-12 with 8 K's

LOL

Just got my 1st hit! A double off Cliff Lee

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

My RTTS has been weird this year. I made my usual 2nd basemen and I went on a tear to start the year, I'm just past the All-Star break and I lead AA in BA, HR, Doubles, and RBI's. Apparently there isn't enough room to move me up to AAA, so that's a bummer. I also haven't been traded yet which surprises me. Right now though, I'm in one hell of a slump. I haven't what I consider a solid game in close to month, it's getting really frustrating now..
