Why is ohtani not a 2 way player?

Re: Why is ohtani not a 2 way player?

From what I know it's only pitchers then u play them as a positional player and they must start each game for 20 games.

So a player has to start as a pitcher to be converted to a two way player?

What if a player starts as a hitter? I have to pitch him with 0 ratings in all pitching stats for awhile until they can be edited? I'm so confused. How do the ratings work into all this

You're acting like two way players are common. I'm paying for a dope baseball game. If the coding doesn't allow it, I can understand. Being it's a rare thing. Sure, the guy is notable, but if there's a workaround, even better. I take it you're an Angels fan?

This is pretty pathetic that they still haven't gotten this to work somehow and apparently are going to wait until next years PS4 port to PS5? Watch it still not work. What are we paying for it they can't even fix something like this? Coding doesnt allow it? Who's fault is that? That just sounds like you're admitting that you're just re-releasing the same game every year with a roster update and cosmetic nonsense.

do they have to be a started game or does it count if you pinch hit in a game? and does it count to DH as a game?

Re: Why is ohtani not a 2 way player?

I posted this in the other thread about two way players as well.

1. SP or RP does not matter, just have to have 20 innings pitched
2. Position in field does not matter, DH is OK. However it is not 20 innings played in the field (or DH). It's starting 20 games with at least 3 ABs
3. I have not tested in the game, but in real life, Spring Training (or Minor League) games don't count. It must be regular season

Ohtani isn't a two-way player because he didn't meet the requirements last year. Due to his TJ surgery, he only hit in 2019 so he has to "re-earn" his two-way status in 20. He's designated as a pitcher, so once he pitches 20 innings and plays 20 games at DH with 3 at-bats in each game, then he earns two-way status.

Not the case IRL. For this season they were able to go back and use stats for 2018. He is a two-way player from day 1.

For 2020 only, this will include the 2019 and 2018 seasons. Teams must designate their two-way players, and that designation will remain in effect for the remainder of that season and postseason.

Would love to see Sony impliment the ability for our road to the show characters to be two way player’s if we wanted them to be I feel like it would add a whole new aspect to rtts

Ohtani isnt a 2-way player? He has the icon on the roster screen.

Anyway, with today's patch you can edit people to 2-way players.

Have you figured out a way to get Ohtani in the DH spot for CPU teams in franchise without having to manually include him in the lineup before every game?

The CPU will use him(and almost all good-hitting pitchers) as DHs even without the icon, provided that he's a better hitter than whoever is in the lineup. If he's the #1 starter then he should be in the lineup every 3rd and 4th game, with off days the games before and after his starts.

Re: Why is ohtani not a 2 way player?

How do you manage Ohtani's energy? He is the ace and after his start his energy is so low when I try to insert him into the DH spot, the manager wants him out because he needs rest. I usually just leave him in, but he isn't ready to pitch in the rotation then... I don't know how this works in real life either as I'm only a video game baseball guy, but I'd love some input either for real life or in the game. He's simply too good not to do both, but seems like the endurance mechanic in game doesn't really allow it. Any advice? Thanks.

What we did was actually make Ohtani a RP with 99 stamina and 80 durability.

If you expect him to start 30 games, make him a SP. I doubt he'll be used this way, and will get 10-15 starts per year this way.

He'll be mostly used as a DH.

How will he get those starts? If I sim through a season, what will his numbers look like?

To follow up on what I said, the first sim I ran, he got 10 starts.

Perfect.

Second and third time, not so great. 5 starts in one, 4 in the other or something like that.

So, we switched him back to a SP, but kept him with 99 stamina and 80 durability.

He'll DH 110-120 games, which is good. But he'll start like 30 games too. There's no middle ground, to get him around 10-15 consistently. Either 30 or 5.

The only consistent thing was him appearing in around 120 games as a DH when simming.
