30,000 RTTS points?!?!

[chasmalgrat3]

Somewhat sidebar question. If I buy RTTS points for a player, can I use them again if I delete the RTTS and start over with another created player?

As far as buying points, I can see it for somethings like speed. Speed is not something that is "learned" in the minor leagues. You can train and get a little faster, but it's unrealistic to have a guy start out as 45 speed (example) and work his way up to 70-80.

I believe that the RTTS points you buy are limited to the character you bought them for.

If you delete that player, the points (and money you spend) disappear.

I don't have a problem with that, as long as the upcoming patch doesn't force me to restart my RTTS. If it does, I expect the points to carry over. (It's not so much the amount -- I've only spent 5 bucks -- but the principal of the thing)

I purchased 5 iterations of the RTTS points at the PSN Store, but haven't started a RTTS character yet. Where will I find these points?

You can just buy them while in your RTTS, don't know where you would find them if bought early, probably there.

All I would want is that when I create my guy, allow me to place those attribute points as I wish. Not +5 and I can't do anything. If I want to boost my speed to 99 then let me, everything else suffers and have to work on that. If I want my power to be huge, again let me put those starting points where I want.

I want to create MY prospect, allow me to create MY guy how I want.

its .99 cents for 1000 pts and you can use them however you want.

I know that i meant the points the game starts you with limits where you put them which is dumb

Thats like having a low rated player get hurt and because of the injury he is allowed to progress easier than a non injured player. Injuries do not automatically make the training required and skill needed to become a better player to lower. Period. So in the case of an injury in The Show I agree that the goal should be lowered etc.. but that should also mean the time it takes to get to the next level increases. In any case it's a game and play it like you want. We all paid the 60.00 or whatever. I choose to make it a challenge to get to "The Show" while others want to get there "Right now" with little to no work.. so be it. It is just a video game..just have fun! Peace!

I think we're on the same page here now. I think if you get injured, it should alter your goals but also increase the time it takes to get to the big leagues. I don't want to spend my points and then get called up the next day. At the same time, I don't want to suffer an injury, get sat down for two weeks, then get told by the manager that I'm not doing anything to improve myself so he's putting me on the bench or sending me down to the previous level.

If I'm playing my games and just not doing well, I'm not gong to be spending points to artificially boost my stats. God no. If I'm playing well and using the points I earn to keep my ratings from dropping down, and the game tells me I have to improve an attribute that makes absolutely no sense at all, then yes, I'll spend some loose change just to appease the CPU Manager and prevent my player from artificially dropping in ratings just because the AI thinks my catcher should be stealing 80 bases.

Still having fun with my catcher though. Up in the big leagues for good and playing well as a catcher for the Reds. Would like to be a Yankee, but at least I can say my first big league HR came against the Red Sox up in Fenway. Once free agency hits, the Reds will have to show me that they are trying to compete in the NL Central, or I'm taking off for a team that is in contention each year. I want to play in the World Series.

I find it amusing that the NCAA college football game has numerous of these types of things put in, like buying pipeline states for recruiting, etc, and people flame EA saying how pathetic it is that they're trying to make extra money. 90% of the anger is directed at EA for making it possible. The Show does the same thing more or less, and no one criticizes them for it, it's the people who use it who are getting flamed. Just an observation I find amusing.
