I don't have a problem with anything other than the fact that your RTTS player doesn't get kudos for being a league leader when they walk up to the plate anymore, vasgersion doesn't even acknowledge if you are about to get the triple crown anymore.

will the developers address this? ever?

RTTS is F'd this year. What a disappointment.

The mandatory ball trail is a bug. That can be patched.


The mandatory showtime is a bug. That can be patched.


With regard to being forced to jump from player opportunity to player opportunity, I am not sure if that is a bug or not or if it can be patched or not. But assuming it can, along with the other patches mentioned above, would you guys agree that this would be a pretty damn good mode?

I use showtime for reaction in fielding.

It's not like SCEA to completely remove play features. I'm all for adding ones with the intent of "if they don't like them, you can disable them"

Manual catch plus the new throw targeting mechanism would make fielding much more engaging and not just a mundane task before you hit again.

For the first time in the history of this game, I've been spending the majority of my time in a different mode.
Fielding as a 1B is generally more boring than other positions. I can't see how it became boring this year.. I'd say it is more interesting because of the Showtime addition.

First year I've ever played this mode for more than about an hour. Love the changes and RPG like elements.

Actually really, really enjoying it for once. Showtime is also a fantastic addition.

I might be a rarity in that I only play as a SP in RTTS, and only ever play RTTS mode. I've never tried any other positions. That's just the way I am. So other bugs or developer decisions that other people have come across and object to probably don't have the same impact for me.

I happen to think the game, as it usually does, has nailed the atmosphere and feeling of actually being in a ball park. I play with no visual aids at all, nothing on screen. Which is why the ball halo for me is a killer. If I can remove ball halo and trail and red arrow, I'm 100% satisfied once again and will play RTTS until 17 comes out.

I don't mind the changes to RTTS this year, to me it makes playing SS or 2B exciting but it makes playing as a 1B super boring. Thankfully I have a speedy 1B with decent reaction/fielding to request a change in position.
