RTTS Difficulty Setting Confusion

[forme95]

This is some great reading and discovery. Thanks guys. Now I do have a question though. Is this playing with default sliders? I have been on All-Star, bounced my sliders between A&S, TNK, and default w/fielding and base running adjusted. I had a default one that I played about 20 games with. I felt it was over powered and there were like 20+ guys all hitting over .400.
Just wanted to get some opinion on whether default is the way to go, or are ppl using sliders. Thanks

I posted the example with MLB '14 a little ways down this thread that explains in more detail what's going on. Remember, this doesn't apply if you're using dynamic difficulty - the internal difficulty change doesn't happen there.

Thanks so much! I will go with that. I read your posts and I believe you tested it great and have it right on.

Thanks for all the hard work and for replying!

I always play franchise and this year decided to do a RTTS and wanted it to be like hitting in franchise mode. Thanks again!

With a lot of RTTS info coming out, I thought I'd give this thread a bump. I know it is from a couple of years ago, but there is a lot of good research and none of it has changed.

I still don't understand why this is in the game I'm hoping we can find out if it has changed soon.

So this is all valid still?


If I my RTTS difficulty shows as veteran and my RTTS players are in the majors then I am essentially playing at All-Star? That would be good because I was beginning to feel guilty about still having it set at veteran.

Yes, the info is still valid and your assumption is correct.

But also remember this does not apply to Dynamic Difficulty. Whatever setting you are on in Dynamic is the true setting across the board.

That is why I switched to Dynamic last year. That way I did not have to keep switching Levels or use a separate profile for RTTS.

Ooops just saw this was already posted earlier. Oh well I will leave it case there are other fools like me who skip reading every post.

Also correct. I believe Legend mode is also exempt from the change.

Went ahead and checked this for '17... sadly it has not changed.

Franchise Game



Player Lock Game (works same as RTTS)



Same game, same difficulty (All-Star), same hitter, same pitcher, etc.
