Re: MLB 14 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Starting my 2015 spring training tonight and currently i am the starting 1st baseman for the marlins. i hit only 225 with 8 homers in after my july call up, but still managed to come in second in rookie of the year voting. right now i am a 76 rating and my method of training has been to just build up points over a full week and then rotate between offense and defense each week. after a full week you have almost enough points to add one level to each category.

Michael Herzberg
Height - 5'10'
Weight -200 lbs
Age - 21
Primary Position - 3B
Secondary Position - LF
Bats - Left
Throws - Right

Education:
High School North Miami Beach, College Miami College North and Florida Atlantic University (junior transfer).


Herzberg had a fantastic Topps Amateur Showcase going 6/10 with 2 HR's and 6 RBI's. Defensively he was able to dazzle scouts with his reaction and arm from the hot corner. Herzberg however needs to develop his base-running skills as he was gunned down on 2 steal attempts. After 3 great days at the Showcase he then was drafted #6 overall by the Minnesota Twins. Placed on the New Brunswick Rock Cats which is the Twins AA affiliate.


Thus far through 14 games Herzberg has torn apart AA.

.386 AVG 8 HR's 16 RBI's

He is currently hitting 6th in the lineup. He has had a slight groin issue crop up in 2 games which has cost him a total of 3 games so trainers are keeping an eye on that. Scouts are seeing a young Evan Longoria in the making and if Herzberg keeps up this torrid pace he may be seeing a call-up to AAA a lot sooner than he thinks.

After the first month of his first season at AA I will update his full ratings, and current year to date stats.

Stay tuned.

Just wondering if anyone knows how to check their career earnings? I can't seem to find it. Was it removed?

Have a question too... Apologies if this has been asked/answered already...

If you create a catcher, do you still have to call pitches/play defense?

No, unless you want to play all the fielding opportunities. If you choose to play some of them, the pitch will already be called, and all you'll have to do is catch a pop-up or watch for a steal attempt.

I hit a HR at AT&T Park " Splash " with my player and it landed in McCovey Bay, it was cool cause I didn't know that it had until the cut scene replay showed it go over wall into the water, very cool

Did the splash counter change?

That's not true. I play as a catcher and you do have to call pitches, but only with runners in scoring position. With no RISP, sometimes you have to come in and catch a popup, field a bunt, or throw out a runner trying to steal second and you won't call the pitch on those opportunities. You still have to catch it though.

Now that you mention it, yes it did from 62 to 63, LOL, never thought that, thanks for the reminder.

Update #4: LF Pakari Pogba

After being traded from Philadelphia to Baltimore, I continued to progress and felt right at home posting a .252 avg - 27 hr - 91 rbi - 30 steals w/19 dbls and 11 trips. No all star team and we just missed the playoffs.

Started my 3rd MLB season at age 22 and was hoping to put it all together to make an All Star team and make a run for the playoffs. After another slow start, I was a war machine during May hitting all of my 12 hr's and batting nearly .500.

However, 3 weeks before the All-Star Game... I break my shin stealing 2nd base and am put on the 60 day DL with the prognosis being 2-3 months recovery. So now I sit at June 26 with a .290 avg - 12 hr's - 38 rbi - 40 steals. My season may or may not be over. Guess I need to put points in durability

EDIT: Simmed ahead, and I'm back by the end of August! Guess I'm a quick healer lol

He's had character in game for years, I think there are a few characters named and modeled after the devs.

Re: MLB 14 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Quick question.

Previous to this year I haven't played as a Pitcher in RTTS. I created a starting pitcher in the mold of Homer Bailey. The pitcher I created only has 3 pitch types a Fastball, 2 seam, and slider. Meanwhile Homer Bailey actually has Fastball, 2 seam, Slider, Knuckle, and a slitter.

Is there a point in time where I am able to add more pitches to my RTTS player? Am I overlooking that option somewhere?

Thanks for any help!
