Official MLB 18 : Road to the Show Thread

Service time?

Ive now played one full year in the league since my call up and it’s showing that I have 0.156 MLB years. Is this because I’m a pitcher?

I am an Astros pitcher that is in tripe A right now. I am struggling and hoping I wont be sent down. I am a 65 overall. Just finishing my second season. My pitching difficulty is way up though and that is what causes my struggling. I have three pitches. Fastball, Screwball, and Knuckleball. Tough pitcher for batters to it . I am having fun with it and hope to get called up soon.

I really hope they change up the formula for developing (both in Road to The Show and players in franchise) next year. I don't like the fact that our performance dictates whether we increase our ratings. It's backwards.

In real life a guy gets better, stronger, has better vision, etc. (progresses, basically) and THEN he puts up numbers because of it. He doesn't put up numbers and THEN get stronger because of it. I understand they were trying to put an emphasis on statistical performance but it's wonky.

I tried using search but I couldn’t find it. If you move to a secondary position how long before they move you back to your primary?

I‘ve had it between 1 to 3 series with my players until they moved me back. I don‘t know if they will keep you longer in your secondary position perhaps.

This is one of the reasons why I stopped playing this game so early. RttS was a disappointment to me this year.

I agree with you if it was franchise mode. But for rtts it works as if you play better you play better and play worse you play worse. Seem super natural to me in rtts. You're ratings are just how good you are naturally.

I have 3 starting pitchers going in RTTS 18(2 are carryovers). Is HR/9 still a useless attribute except for simming and ovr?
