    Was I called up too quick?

    SLIDERS HAVENT BEEN TOUCHED... AT 50% ON EVERY SLIDER...


    So I was drafted 11th overall to Seattle. I played about two months for the AA team Jackson Generals. Was hitting over .450 with 19 HRs, 111 RBIs, 120 Hits, 5 Stolen Bases and so on. Well right after the AA League All Star Game I get the message saying that the Seattle Mariners have purchased your contract and your next game will be this. I just feel I was called up to quick AKA a Mike Zunino situation... Never played one game in AAA. Should I turn the sliders down to make it realistic? Or are the Mariners just that hard up for a First Baseman LOL. Just doesn't seem realistic to have a 76 overall 19 year old starting on a MLB team..


    Who has the most realistic sliders on the vault?
    MLB - Cubs, Mariners
    NHL - Blackhawks
    NFL - Seahawks
    NBA - Warriors

    Judging by this and your previous post you are playing on beginner. Dont play with sliders until you get your correct difficulty level. Use dynamic difficulty!

        I'm pretty sure Dynamic Difficulty is still broken in RTTS, at least for batting. It never moves from half-way between Beginner and Rookie.


        To the OP, call-ups seem to happen very quickly in RTTS this year. It's been a bit of an issue in previous years as well, but this year it seems to happen very quickly.

        I have 3 RTTS players on the go. All three have been promoted to the Bigs within 3 months. I have a 67 OVR pitcher who is #3 in the rotation for the White Sox. He went straight from AA to the MLB.

        I have a SS who went from AA to AAA to the MLB in 2 months. He's hitting 0.86 (on purpose to try and force a demotion) and is still 2nd in the lineup.

        My RF has good power stats, but fielding in the 50's. He's a bench player stuck with no playing time. He was promoted in June.

          My SS for Seattle has been called up already, before the AA all star game, straight to the majors. Also have a SP already called up to the Blue Jays as well prior to the all star game, skipped AAA altogether. Was a bit shocked and annoyed so now I've started 2 new players to see how quickly they get called up.

            Well - you just provided a real life example of a prospect that was moved quickly through the system.

            It happens. If your ratings really aren't able to handle the challenge, your stats will drop and maybe they'll move you back to AAA.

            I mean you bat .439 in AA, I'm not surprised if you got fast tracked. Doesn't mean you're unrealistic, per se, it just means you got fast tracked. Not every prospect follows a smooth path through the levels.

            I say play it out and see what happens. Maybe you catch on quick. Maybe you'll be over overmatched. It happens. See what happens.

              What's your Potential?
              Don't know what roster you're using but on th default roster the M's Adam Lind is only a C potential at 32 years old & overall a 77, so just based on that, Seattle didn't call you up to quick. If you want to play in the minors longer, bump up the level of difficulty, or drop the human contact, power, timing, & solid hits 2 clicks each.

                As long as the game doesn't glitch and think that every game you start is your AAA debut, then the game didn't call you up too early.

                In 15, I was called up to AAA before my AA debut and the game still thinks I'm making my AA debut for every game, even in the big leagues.

                  With those numbers after only two months, I can see why they brought you straight up.

                    Play RTTS quite a bit. My DD moved to half-way to Veteran and is near All-Star. Not sure where you got it never moves from half-way between Beginner and Rookie. Maybe I have the only copy that is not glitched!

                      Lots of people complaining about it, so I know I'm not the only one.

                      Are you a position player or a pitcher? For pitching the dynamic difficulty works fine. It seems to only be broken for hitting.

                        Re: Was I called up too quick?

                        I'm doing a RTTS as a SS in the Pirates organization. I was crushing in Altoona (AA), leading the Eastern League in HR, RBI, and .BA. Got called up to Indianapolis (AAA) in mid-June. Played a four game series in AAA against Columbus and was immediately called up to Pittsburgh, where I've been the starting SS for the last month.

                        I was wondering why I got called up so quick and I checked injuries. Jordy Mercer (PIT starting SS) is injured for 1-2 months. I'm sure that's the reason I got fast tracked. I'm doing well in Pittsburgh. .280 BA, 5 HR, 15 RBI in about 70 ABs. I don't think my RTTS player will be relinquishing his starting spot to Mercer when he comes back from injury.

                        To the OP ~ Check your organizations injury report, maybe you got called up due to a rash of injuries at your position...
