I just simulated one AA game for my SP RTTS. Pitched 8 shutout innings with 6ks but only got 38 training points? What gives? was it a glitch or something? I pitched a similar game earlier today and got 400+ points. Do I have to pitch the game myself to get a an appropriate amount of points?

Oh lordy I forgot this game had that in it. That clarifies it.

You have to choose Play over Sim to get full points, but as soon as you get into the game, you can immediately choose to Exit the game and sim to the end, you then get full points for each batter (and at-bat, if you batted).

So, it only adds a bit of time. I don't even think you have to throw a pitch, although for best result, I'd do the warmup to get good confidence in each pitch, and then face the first batter before exiting.

I was promoted to the closer of the Mets, and have kind of had a rough go of it.

I'm about to enter the month of July and am 0-4 with a 4.91 ERA however I do have 14 saves and have lowered my ERA from 5.62 so I think I may be finally turning the corner.

It is realistic that way but I really wish it wasnt 6 whole years, 3 would be ok. none would be neat too, hopefully it becomes optional one of these years but i wouldnt count on it

I spent an awful amount of time last night trying to prevent my player (pitcher) from being traded from my favorite team. I chose the team I chose and didn't select draft because I want to stay with this team so I don't really understand why there isn't an option to turn off trading of my player.

Anyway they kept trying to trade me in july while I was in AAA, my stats are really good, sub 2 era, a lot of strikeouts, low amount of walks etc.. but my ratings are what you'd expect from an 18 year old. I would reload saves and they kept trading me, I would use some skill points to try an alter the memory, which worked but they would just trade me to a different team. So I artificially inflated my stats by giving up around 7 runs a game for 3 games in a row, ended up with a 4/5 era overall. This worked and I finally made it past the deadline, so I play a few games in my normally dominating way and in the second week of august I get traded again.

So my question is when exactly am I safe from being traded? I hate having to play awful intentionally just to lose trade value.

I finished the first year as a SP with the Reds. Got promoted from AA to AAA early on and finished the year as ace for Louisville. Got 5 pitches-4SFB, RFB, change, 12-6 curve, and knuckleball. I got all pitch attributes to 50 and some to 60 to end the year. Also, all /9 ratings are 50 as well.
