Official MLB 17 : Road to the Show Thread

[Qdiddy]

Decided to start a new RttS as a SP, went through both showcase games, got drafted by the Reds Rd 3, Pk 3. Signed with them so now my journey begins (until OSFM rosters come out and my Yankees Franchise starts up)

This year I thought I'd do something different, and make a more defensive minded player.

I created a short stop, and used the attributes for fielding, and one or two for contact. Really going for good defense, and getting on base. Not too concerned about hitting out of the park.

Being an Australian, I always play in the International team.

I struggled in the first Showcase game, going 0-4 with 1 RBI from a sacrifice.

The second Showcase game went much better. 4-4 with a walkoff homer to win the game. I was polite and didn't ask too many questions of my adviser.

Not thinking I'd go high, I was surprised to go in the first round to the Cubs at 30. The depth at SS isn't great, so I think I might move up to AAA quicker than other clubs. The only thing is the starting SS for the Cubs is 23 year old Addison Russell, who I don't think is gonna be moved on anytime soon.

So I started my career with the AA affiliate Tennessee Smokies.

I've played 12 games, with an average just above .300, 3 HR and 12 RBIs.

My fielding is going ok. Had a couple of reactionary mistakes, which were completely my fault (flicking the stick slightly the wrong way) but the mechanics of the R3 and R2 controls makes fielding fun.

Also made a defensive SS. Put 2 points in arm (max), 2 points in speed & one in fielding. After the scout day, my speed, fielding and arm were all at elite. Hitting was below average though.

First showcase game i went 0-4 w/ a backwards K.

Second showcase game i went 1-5 w/ 1 RBI. I hit a single with the bases loaded in the top of the tenth to get my first hit and rbi.

Ended up getting selected by the Giants with the 22nd pick in the 3rd Round.

Does anyone have good sliders for RTTS specifically?

Can confirm you can pick your team if you go back to college and play both scout days lol

I made a SS, I put 3 flex points in speed to max it out. 1 in Arm, 1 in Fielding.

1st Showcase game, 4-5, all singles - 2 SB, 2 RBI, an error and a wrong base throw. 2nd game, 1-4, single, SB and a CS.

I was going to be fine with whoever drafted me except 2 teams - unfortunately one drafted me - the NYY, 2nd round. But I had a save so about to do the draft over again..

So far I love the PYP.

They no longer allow you to initiate interactions like asking for a trade or position change?

Quick question: this is my first Show game and am loving RTTS. I'm tinkering with settings some....do yall play with injuries on? Any other settings that are a must to turn on/off?
