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

    Made a 6'3" 225 lbs 18-year-old 1B named Jeff Chapman. I gave him all power, strength, and glove. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates which was cool because they could use an All-star manning 1B.

    So far we are two weeks into June and I'm batting .416 with 26 HRs and 72 RBIs (yes I have upped the difficulty). I have also completed all of my advancement goals three straight times and they still won't move me to AAA. Guess I am gonna get dealt, classic RTTS. I just don't understand why a team would trade a guy who is destroying AA ball by so much. If (when) I do get traded I hope I go to Oakland, Boston, or Miami but I would prefer staying in Pitt and signing my first long term contract.

        Ooooo ok, so the Reds are probably gonna trade me? Makes sense they already have Votto & I'm no where close to taking his spot!

          Depends on what kind of pitcher you are

                  Has anyone been successful asking for a position change? I'm a power hitting SS for Cleveland, but would like to play LF or CF.

                  Thanks in advance!

                    So I made a ficticious third baseman by the name of Austin Robinson. I'm saying he's the great grandson of Brooks Robinson. I made him a switch hitter just because I wanted to and he wears his great grandfathers #5. He's been drafted by the Mets and currently in AA. I've played a few games and this kid is a blast to play as. No points have been purchased and in his first week his destroying the baseball. Austin has had two games in the span of a week where he's hit a HR from both sides of the plate.

                    It's funny because I made myself as second baseman on another RTTS and I'm struggling hitting the ball right now so I know the settings aren't too easy. It's sounds kind of crazy but it's almost like when I'm playing with my guy I'm more tense then when I'm using Austin.

                      I just played my AA all star game last night. Hoping they don't move me up yet.

                      Does increasing arm strength help very much for a SP ?

                      I have a 4 seam , slurve , and circle change. Wondering how it will affect those pitches ??
                      I play MLB exclusively with my cousin. Usually looking for info on Franchises. We played minor league baseball as 9-10 YOs on the Zephyrs.

                          Well Im an 84 ovl (no points purchased, but playing on easier level) and they haven't moved me yet.

                          But I was referring to playing in Big League parks only to have to return to the little dinky AA parks. The atmosphere was amazing at the All Star game! The crowd was louder, my home run music was louder, everything was better! Oh well my first season in AA is almost over!

                          I just dont understand why I havent been brought up to at least AAA. He's 52ovl, I understand that I will never take Votto's spot but atleast that bum that plays for AAA Bats spot should be mine.

                          Oh yea, and I HATE the Wahoos uniforms! Lol they are terrible!

                            Yea I know wht you mean and I'm on the exact opposite. It was a big stadium , lots of fans , better Hitters etc. My guy isn't quite ready fir that 3 pitches still and like a 76 Ovr maybe. I wanna boost up his arm and stamina before movi g on. Kinda cool we opposite. This the first post prolly on the rtts thread lol

                              Just created 6'1 CP, got drafted by the Yankees and the dude is a BEAST! I picked Running fastball, Circle change and Cutter. Seriously, these 3 pitches are really hard for opposite players to hit since with righties the running fastball goes into them and it goes away from them making it real hard to hit. The cutter is perfect to thrown to lefties since it goes into them and righties will chase since it goes away from them. Awesome 3 pitches!

                                - Meant to say the running fastball goes away from lefties.
