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

Anyone else ever get to the All-Star break as the leading vote getter for their position and NOT make the All-Star game? My RTTS player completed the last game before the All Star game leading the national league in HR's and as the first place shortstop in the voting. But when i click on play next appearance, it skips right past the All Star game and on to my next regular season match-up! No congrats about making the team, totally passed over. Heck, i thought i should have at least gotten into the HR derby leading the league!

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

Okay, I am my second year 2015 as the full time starter on the Marlins at 1st base. I was asked to play in the home run derby, I lost, I played in the All Star game for the first time as the starter for the NL at 1st base we lost. Finished the year BA .321 47 HR's 126 RBI's and was voted NL MVP. We won the NL East Division Tittle 90-72 .We played the Reds and the Dodgers to get the World Series and lost to the Rangers in 6 games. I was rewarded with a 3 year 27 million contract with the Marlins 2016-2018, so far so good,. I just went thru spring training for 2016 season BA .381 8 HR's 23 RBI's so getting ready to start the new season, this game is awesome fun !!!

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

After winning the NL MVP, Silver Slugger, and Triple Crown on my 102 win Reds team, my 1B sawed straight through the first two rounds of the playoffs with something ridiculous like .535/.800/1.250. We faced the Tigers in the World Series and I just went ice cold. Dropped the first two games, evened the series in Game Four, finally got my first hit of the series in Five, homered twice in Six, and then in Game Seven Max Scherzer threw a NO HITTER! He was a walk away from getting a perfect game. It was a crushing defeat, sure, but after such a dominant regular season I was worried RTTS might start getting stale and now I have a new reason to keep playing: revenge.

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

Well I am starting my Road To The Show as a left handed Starting Pitcher. I will be playing on legend mode. My build is a 6'0, 162lbs, 18 yrs old. His pitch style is 3 and batting style is Jason Werth.

At the start made him high stamina, high control, and balanced rep.

I will be throwing the following pitches as I develop.
4 Seam Fastball, Changeup, Slider, Running Fastball, and a Sinker.

I was drafted by The Texas Rangers. I will be starting off with their Double A team The Frisco RoughRiders. I was signed to a 1 year 30k deal.

My first start is April 9th at Arkansas Travelers.

As I develop my player I have some goals in mind I will be working towards in my first season here they are!

Durability - 70 rating
Stamina - 80 rating
BB/9 - 70 rating
4 Seam Fastball Control - 90 rating
Changeup Control - 85 rating
Slider Break - 75 rating
Running Fastball Velocity - 70 rating
Sinker Velocity - 65 rating

Knowing I won't get most of those, but its a guide Im using to work towards

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

In addition to all the other stupid errors they didn't fix, SCEA still hasn't fixed the managing logic for pitchers in RttS. I'm about this close to just selling this damn game already. I can't stand this crap any more. Leading 2-0, dominating the opposition, 68 pitches in 7th, allow an infield dribbler hit, immediately get pulled. No mound visit, straight out of the game. Reliever comes in and immediately blows the game. Has happened 6 times already in this new pitcher RttS for me in AA, after happening 20+ times in last year's game with my pitcher RttS.

SCEA, why bother with all the feedback threads if you're just going to ignore everything we point out (including important gameplay issues) anyways?

There is a option in the sliders for pitchers being pulled. You could adjust it to your liking. You'll still get pulled in games bit it will give you a little more leway. Believe its called Manager Hook. Hope this helps you

Tried it, no dice. I don't understand this game's logic. I mean, do a mound visit first at least if it's going to jump the gun.

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

Has anyone gotten far enough along in Road to the Show yet to hit the Free Agent market and gotten multiple offers from different teams? If so how long were you in the majors?

I am interested in hearing the experiences people get when reaching free agency too do you get like offers from a lot of teams like you would in real life?
