How to be RTTS MLB MVP in 3 years.

[Se7enth_Sinn]

First off I’ve done this 3 times now, once with a centerfielder on the RedSox, a shortstop with Cubbies and working on 2^nd Baseman for my Dream Team Mets.
After creating my dude I put all my training points from game 1 on into RHP Power until I it reaches 85. Right handed pitchers out number lefties about 3 or 4 to 1. That should take you a little more than a quarter of the season. After reaching 85 in RHP put point in to LHP Power till you reach 70 and this should take you about 2 or 3 weeks after the ALL Star break. Keep in mind your coach is going to be pissed at you for not adding points in Def but don’t worry about it for now. Now for the rest of the 1^st season put your points into Contact RHP first to 55 then LHP to 55. If you have more points left over and you make the playoffs put the rest of the points into RHP Power. If you’re lucky you’ll hit 90. Your should be about .270 to .300, 8 to 12Hrs, over 50 RBIs and about 14 to 20 errors (shortstop)
Year 2 is when you make your name. First off get your RHP Power to 99 then get LHP Power to 90. You should be able to get this done before the ALL Star Break and you should be an All Star based on your Hitting. For the rest of the season keep knocking balls out of the park don’t worry about you manager, he might bench you for a few games here and there but keep hitting HRs. For the last month and a half put you points into Fielding. Do whatever combo you want to get you rating to a C. By season’s end you should look like this.
RHP Power 99
LHP Power 90
Contact LHP & RHP 55
Over Fielding C
Everyone plays different but with these numbers at the end of my 2^nd season I average 40 HRs hit over .450 and had over 150 RBIs with a few errors. I had a few 30 game hitting streaks so that help with points which isn’t too hard to do. Power is everything in baseball, the hell with speed, the hell with defense, the hell with bunting… Yeah you might drive you manager crazy and you might get a hate mail or 2 but with this method you should always start your 3^rd year in the Bigs. I’m on my 3^rd RTTS dude now, made it to the Bigs again at the start of year 3 and for the first 30 games these are my numbers (I’ll have a screen shot if no one believes me) AVG .475, 12 HRs, 34 RBIs and 2 errors playing 2^nd base.

Re: How to be RTTS MLB MVP in 3 years.

Damn you're in AA with those numbers? I hope you don't have a Superstar at your position in the Bigs.

Re: How to be RTTS MLB MVP in 3 years.

This is exactly what I was saying in a topic I made awhile ago. Power plays way too much a factor in batting average for user hitting. I'll choose to hit with a guy with 75 power/50 contact over a guy with 50 power/75 contact any day; however, in real life, i'll choose the contact hitter every time. The problem is the other batting attributes like vision and discipline that play a pretty big role for CPU hitting only play a very small role for user hitting. It's pretty much only contact and power, and power is completely overpowered. And, if you use the power swing, which there is no reason you shouldn't, then it's even more ridiculous. The hitting is this game is still far too easy even on Legend difficulty. User hitting needs to be reworked.

This is why RTTS is so unsatisfying after a bit of gameplay. The points ruin everything in regards to progression. Yes, points work quite well from a franchise perspective, but RTTS is dulled down by the spending sprees.

But don't expect RTTS to be any different any time soon (at least from SCEA) as they will polish up some menus, add new manager goals, and throw in a new mini game here and there.

It has been painfully obvious that Potential Ratings and Training Points are here to stay.

I think the mode being used should be a factor in how many years it might take to be MVP. In Hall of Fame mode it might take 6 years instead of 3 years.

Re: How to be RTTS MLB MVP in 3 years.

It mostly depends on the mode you play and your skill as a hitter. I've been playing on Legend mode and it took until my 3rd year before my skill and the player's abilities got good enough to start hitting for average and a little power. And with those struggles and being a bench player for quite a while, training points were much harder to come by and had to be used for reaching goals and making sure they didn't start regressing.

But I do agree with the power thing. Right handed power is by far the quickest way to become a great hitter. Contact stats will give you more line drives and, along with Vision, helps your PCI get larger but it still pales in comparison to power. Without power, fielders get to most of the balls you hit. With power, the ball gets by them much more often.

Re: How to be RTTS MLB MVP in 3 years.

I spent $10 on the RTTS points from the PSN store. I used them and at the age of 21 right now im 95 rhp 88 lhp and 88 rhc 85 lhc. Im in the majors for the Orioles only because they traded Atkins for me and a pitcher from the Rays. After my first season i batted .308 with 29 hrs and 97 rbi.

I also saved two separate RTTS files so i can use the same player over and over. this way i dont waste the $10 i spent

Re: How to be RTTS MLB MVP in 3 years.

I really really really (really) hope they make some major changes to this mode for MLB 11. I think incorporating some player types, equipment boosts, goal changes, maybe spending your earned money on better training/equipment, better clubhouse integration, franchise integration...or any of the above would help making this mode so much better. Right now there is almost no way of having a unique experience when creating a fielder or pitcher more than once. The only thing that is slightly random is whether you get traded or injured. I wish we could create a unique player almost every time, like a speedster/slap hitter or a lumber power hitter, or a 5 tool guy, or a flame throwing pitcher who has major attitude and loses it when runners are on base....argh!!!

Not really sure what that brought to the OP. My bad.

Re: How to be RTTS MLB MVP in 3 years.

To me this sounds like it takes the whole fun out of Road To The Show. Why speed up the process in this game mode, that's what it's all about! Garrett Jones Worth the Wait for Pirates! Garrett took the long way to success in the big leagues, playing 1,038 games over 11 seasons in the minor leagues before entrenching himself in the majors as the Pirates' right fielder last year! That's the definition of Road To The Show!

Re: How to be RTTS MLB MVP in 3 years.

Do you swing for contact or power or do swing based on the count and situation?

Re: How to be RTTS MLB MVP in 3 years.

Well the problem is the fact that other attributes decline..or do you spend the 40 points at the last sec(before they decline)?
