If it isnt realistic or fun or whatever, why did they have it in there for so long and then decide to change it after years of it being like that? I looking forward to the new design and hope to spend a lot of time with this version. Thanks for the changes SCEA

Im sure the original plan for being called up in RTTS involved the goals bc that was the easiest way to monitor progress and justify getting your player called up. I believe SCEA realized that this needed to change after years of hearing feedback about RTTS players having monster stats but failing to get promoted due to an "unnecessary" goal that wasnt met. I too, like the fact that they made it more realistic this year by dropping the goals and basing call-ups primarily on performance.

Cant wait to dig into it this week and transfer it over to the PS4 when it arrives in May. Good luck in your RTTS.

You play every game you're a starter or you're subbed in as a PH or RP but you don't HAVE to play it, you can sim any game you want (but I wouldn't recommend it) and you can choose to only bat during games if you're a fielder but no you can't enter whenever you want IIRC.

The thing that upsets me the most is that salaries do not mean anything. I wish they would convert salary to training points because I always sign for close to nothing in order to play for many years with my team.
