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

As a pitcher, start your games, but exit immediately, it'll sim the game and you'll get proper points for it.

Great! Now I can skip the boringness of AA and AAA.

Perry Oliver

Perry Oliver, the top 50 prospect for the Rangers, has been called up to pitch for the Round Rock Express. The top prospect was great in his first bout with the AA squad, managing a 3.07 ERA in 76.1 innings with 104 strikeouts with only a 1.04 WHIP. Oliver had a 7.43K/BB and a 12.3 K/9. He relies heavily on his 2 pitches, the 4 seam fastball and the knuckle curve, and lacks the consistency of a 3rd pitch. That is something that Oliver will need to work on before he has a chance at making the big league club. The move to bring Oliver up was a little questionable, considering it was to pitch in long relief instead of starting. Not starting could only hurt the development of such a highly regarded prospect. We will release another report on Perry Oliver in about a month when the AAA All Star Game is played.

I learnt that the hard way in MLB12. I played SO MUCH with my guy in AA-AAA that by time I was in MLB, it was like halfway through MLB season in real life

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

i am a pitcher for the phillies aa team (i was drafted by them) completed all my advancement goals 0.47 era with over 150 k's 76 overall good enough to be in the mlb rotation and still wont get promoted?????????????????????????

There's 100 other posts just like this here, you just have to wait! It's not going to happen overnight, might have to spend the whole year in AA, if it's that daunting that you just want to get to the MLB, this isn't the game mode for you! It takes time, in the game, it takes time in real life!

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

LF Drafted by the twins. Killed AA and AAA my first year. Amors sliders. Signed contract offering MLB bench in off season. Opening day I ask for a trade knowing Willingham will be starting over me for a long while plus he's second best player on the team, they reply back with "You're too import to this organizination to be traded," and the very next day they traded Willingham to white sox for a random RP..now I know I won't be leaving Minnesota for a very long time and at least I start now but the kicker.. I live close to cellular field and the white sox have always been my favorite team lol

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

Quick question

I dont know all of the intricacies of baseball contracts. Im currently in AAA rated 94ovl. I will never get called up for the Reds because Votto is a 99. I'm better than 90% of 1st basemen in the whole league. Can I reject the Reds 1 year offer and become a free agent? I know baseball contracts are different than say NBA or NFL contracts.

I know it takes time to get called up but I'm halfway through year 2 (yes playing on easy I'm not a Show vet) and I wanted to know if I could become a free agent already?

Any help is appreciated!

For those of you using any OS Slider Set,

What are you guys doing as far as difficulties? I know that this year it is tiered (if you are on All-Star, then you will be actually on Veteran in AA, All-Star in AAA, and HoF in MLB.

I'm using Armor's All-Star set, so should I set it on Hall of Fame for AA, All-Star for AAA, and Veteran for MLB so it's always on All-Star? Is this how anyone else is doing it?

I'm using armors set and I have it set on All-Star. I'm not changing it because each level is, SUPPOSE ( not yelling just can't italicize on my phone) harder. And for me it's working our great. I was called up to the Bigs before my guy was ready and I'm really struggling.

I killed it in AA hitting .419 27hrs by all-star break. Called up to AAA and hit .245 8 hrs the rest of the season. That, earned me a spring invite, during the Spring I only got to PH so I only had 15ABs. I got 2 hits and expected to be sent down but the Royals had different plans and kept me around in a bench role. I started off ice cold hitting .089 through June, failing my 3 goal periods, my demotion didn't help me snap out of it. Back in AAA I hit .176, but passed my goal and was called back up. I have since raised my big league average to a scorching .117. It's been a long season but its been fun and realistic since my guy is only a 68 ovr. I'm just waiting for this season to be over so I can hopefully start fresh next season.

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

lol, I'm simming all these games and my team is going crazy. They went 23-3 in a 26 game stretch during June-July. Always hate the logic in these games though, it seems like every year, regardless if it's franchise or rtts, whatever division I'm in, has 2-3 teams with win% around .600. While the rest of the league you'd be leading it by like 5+ games.

I did this before I realized that there were tiered difficulties. The problem is I am a diehard sim player, so I didn't want to do that good in AA.
