    Re: MLB 13 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

    I miss the commentary, but not as much as I thought I would. But, as others have said, the little sparse sprinklings of commentary here-and-there just seem so weird and out of place.
    A screaming comes across the sky...

        Yes, I play all my at-bats in every game, I'll only sim games when I'm in MLB and I'm a few games out from the all-star break or it's the last couple weeks of the season and there is guarantee of who is in the playoffs and who won what award. I tend to grow impatient when my team is under performing. :P

Got to AAA a week before the all-star break in my first year after hitting .360 with 17 HR and two weeks after the all-star break i got traded to the Mariners. Im really pissed because i wanted to play for the Giants but they did call me up to the Big Leagues quickly and now i have a month left of 2013 and in 11 games i have 18 abs and im hitting .278 with only 1 HR. So my power numbers arent there but the .278 avg has me hopeful. When i get the chance im signing a long term deal with Giants.

            Edit: Also i get pitch stutter just about once every at bat so thats hurt me big a couple of times

            Update: Finished the 2013 season with 41 abs hit .341 with 1 HR but entering June of 2014 im hitting .349 with 10 HR and 32 RBI. Im a starter now hitting 4th but the Mariners are irrelevant so im hoping to get traded. Im 80 overall now
            I was drafted by the Giants as well (Power/Speed RF) and was traded to Cubs 4 weeks into the season. Got called up to Iowa. Still before all-star break but going to injury this guy when OS Rosters come out.

Because the numbers don't seem to match.
              XP is seperate from training points. XP is points earned for playing different modes in the game (RTTS, Franchise, Diamond Dynasty, etc). You can view your XP by hitting select at any menu and highlight the XP until there is a blue box around it. Hit X to view your XP breakdown. XP cannot be used for training points.

                Is it bad that I don't like being called up in my first season? Think about it. In real life, you'd be in A-rookie ball, maybe get to A+, then to single A within first year. Second year you'd be at A and if lucky to AA and maybe if your good AAA. Not many players get to the Show in their first or second season.

                  Re: MLB 13 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

                  I started a RTTS with a third basemen and I'm about a month into the season. I have a question for all you guys who play this mode as fielders.

                  I have only ever done pitchers in road to the show and so far with my third basemen I only do hitting and fielding so that each game doesn't take too long. I was just wondering how you go about playing the game, like what aspects do you skip and what do you play? How often do you sim? It seems impossible to finish a career, let alone a single season, when you play every day.

                  So how do you guys do it? I was thinking something like, play a series then sim a series. Anybody do something similar?

After a month I was batting .557 with 12 homeruns and 42 RBI's. I recently started over, overall 53, and after a few series I'm batting .345 with 2 homeruns and 12 RBI's. Feels a little more realistic to me. Did anyone else start their RTTS over because of this?
                    I don't use preorder bonus points. I prefer to grind it out as a raw 18-year-old.

                        I don't field until I get in the majors as fielding in the minors is kinda dull for me, though I hadn't tried it this year. Anyway I usually play every game and it takes me about 5 - 10 minutes to get through it as I usually skip most cutscenes as to avoid the commentary and well because the cutscenes are pretty much the same as years past with a few variations.

                          Alright played my first game with my SP here's the breakdown:

                          3.86ERA 7 IP 4H 6 SO 1-0 W/L

                          final score was 3 - 4

                          in the 7th inning the CF hit the wall and dropped the ball which made the play turn into a triple instead of a double. Ended up with a flyout on the next guy which in turn gave them their third run.. Made me sadface. xD

                            Thanks, I'll try that one out. Also, when it comes to off-speed pitches,(like a Changeup) increasing the velocity actually lowers the speed, correct?

                              just completed my first season as a SP in the pirates organization playing for Altoona curve in AA for 2 months then getting called up to AAA Indianapolis Indians. Apparently they are waiting for a roster spot to open up before I get called up to the show. I am rated 92 overall already the best pitcher in the system by rating but didnt even get a spring invite fastball, slider and circle change are all fully maxed out in velocity, control and movement spending all my point in stamina at the moment trying to max it out before i get to the majors! Cant wait

                                My RF was drafted by the Cardinals and with a AA team ERA of 8-9 in the first month we haven't won many games. I switched to zone plus analog hitting and while it took a few games to get used to it, I'm starting to get this whole batting thing down (on Veteran anyway). I rarely move the left thumbstick, just focusing on getting the swing timing down. I want to be a bit more patient at the plate, but I don't get many pitches out of the strike zone. Still, my batting average is up around .400 right now. Having a blast!
