Anybody else having trouble with equipment? I made my guy, gave him eye black and the old style helmet, but when he comes out, he has no eye black and one of the newer style helmets. What gives?

all players use the new helmets in the minors. its required by rules.

Created a 3rd basemen/Outfielder that was drafted by the Braves. Went 0-4 in the first game, followed by a 5 for 5 night with 6 RBI's. Since then I'm 0 for 12. I love the streakiness, and the fact that each hit feels like an accomplishment.

SS drafted by the Rays, eventually traded to the Twins organization. I've been in a hitting free fall (despite having pretty close to the best hitting attributes on the entire team), going from hitting .350 at about the 20 game mark all the way to .235 at the 70 game mark. It's pretty frustrating, especially knowing my attributes are so high but my hitting is still so bad.

Position: SP
Drafted by: Texas Rangers, traded to Astros for Carlos Lee

made it to Triple A by August.

I'm a power/control type pitcher.

My pitches are 4 seamer, circle change, and sinker. having great success in the minors so far. Using pulse pitching, dunno if i like it. 99 control on fastball and yet rarely hit my spots, just seems random.

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

Question for you hitters. Does it seem as if they fixed the overabundance of knucklers who can also throw 95MPH? I thought I read somewhere that this was going to be fixed but as all I have done so far is RTTS pitching, I haven't gotten a look.

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

Started my RTTS as a center fielder. Picked a random team and ending up going to the Cincinatti Reds. Pretty excited for this, the Reds have nice jerseys, a beautiful ballpark and a pretty good team. Hopefully will get to the major leagues within a couple of years.

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

Made my annual 1B. I got drafted by the mariners and was bombing it in AA 2 weeks before the AA AS game I tore a pectorial and was out 2 months. Came back in august mashed some more and got called up to AAA. Pitching seems tougher in AAA this year.

In my second year now in AAA i am hitting for avg .375 (through 12 games or so) but man I just crushing line drives or hard grounders. I'm not getting the lift in game. Oh well, I'm sure it will come, that's the game of baseball!

Edit: first game after this post, I hit two homers. LOL I love this game

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

Is it just me or does say.. 90 mph come a lot faster in AAA than in AA? i swear there's an inherant change in that...

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

Ah. Picked up the game on the release date and started one RTTS.
Starting Pitcher drafted by the Minnesota Twins, made it to AAA Rochester in about a day, then got traded to the D-Backs. AAA was a huge adjustment from AA, but thankfully I adapted to it fine. It took me 2 advancement goal periods to reach MLB, made my debut, became a starter, but then was put back into the bullpen when Liriano (who was traded with me) came off the DL.
Started getting frosty the last month of the season, and I just haven't been the same when the 2013 season arrived. Decided to take a break for a while on my SP.
Created a new RTTS and made a 3rd baseman who was drafted by the Dodgers (GOD HELP ME) and is starting at AA. His first game, he went 1-3 with a home run, which was the only run of the game. I'll post updates soon.

2b/ss drafted by the rays. Made my way to AAA after about 2 months. After about a month and a half I'm hitting around .280 with 2 HR's. I missed about two weeks with a sprained acl though.

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

Oh, and I made a First Baseman named Boog Bubba, he's 6'4 265 lb beast of a fat guy. Destroyed AA playing in 70 games and batted .345 with 16 HR's. Got moved up to AAA and am struggling, 20 games played, .276 with 2 HR's... actually just had the 2nd, a 12 pitch at bat resulted in a bomb. it was nice. But i swear the speed of pitches just... change when you move up... anyone confirm?
