As sad as it is, it has to be "your OVR > their OVR."

Is it just me or does every minor league team have an OF with a Rollie Fingers mustache?

Hey guys. New to this forum and the game. Sorry if this breaks any rules. Just had a quick question.

I usually have no desire to play the DD type games, which are similar to HUT in NHL. I usually much prefer the RTTS and Online Vs etc.

Is there truly no way to get actual branded equipment for my player other then playing DD? I somehow unlocked 1 single bat and thats it.

What are the ways? I must be doing something wrong. I have earned 1 bat thus far. I'm one week post all star game in the first season. I was called up to AAA 3 weeks before the all-star game. I've randomly unlocked cards for DD while playing RTTS.


I'd really like to be able to customize my player with some branded gear. Without having to play DD taking time from my RTTS player.

I mean I hate to say it, for obvious reasons, but theres always the option of buying stubs directly and using them for the gear. Its crappy, but its the fastest way

Yeah that was the only other way that I could see. Can you edit the colors of cleats and other gear that you can buy? I really dont want to pay for more on top of a $80 game.

What are the ways that buddy above is talking about?

You can customize the colors of the branded gear you wear. It can be done in one of two ways:

-First, go through the "Edit Player" option on the Attributes & Perks icon on the main RTTS page. There's a section to edit your equipment there that will let you change any/all of the colors. In that section, only certain items will be able to be changed though (eg, adding armbands, normal sleeves).

-Second, go through the "Edit Equipment" option in the same spot (the next option down in the A&P icon. There you can change to the branded gear (switch from a generic item to a branded item). You can customize there too if you back out to where you are just selecting bat, gloves, etc. and then hit the triangle button to customize.


Now for the main part...

You earn rewards for games you end up playing. Depending on the mode, it can take anywhere from one to five or six games to earn a post-game award (it'll pop up after completing a game as a "Here is (random card chosen by RNG from players, equipment, sponsors) reward" and it gets added to your inventory.

As long as you're online to log in each time you start the game (once in a 24-hr period) you'll get a log-in reward. Rewards 1-8 are a random card from all of the inventory items (players, sponsors, equipment, etc). Log-in reward 9 is just the standard pack available (6 players plus 2 non-player items).

Stubs are the main form of in-game currency. Those stubs can be used to buy packs (currently standard, but as the season progresses various specialty packs). The other use for stubs is to use in the community market (basically an auction house or traders' market) where you can purchase a particular inventory item (so long as it is available to be sold).

Stubs are earned through gameplay (actual games in whichever game mode), completing missions, or by selling any sell-able item cards you have. You can also use real money to purchase stubs if patience is not your strong suit (depending on how much you play, the mode, cards sold, etc. you could take a few days or weeks to earn enough for a diamond-level item).
