Road to the Show 24 - How Is Yours Going?

[Instant C1a55ic]

New year, New RTTS!

I started as I always do, hot corner slugger. I guess if you wanna be game technical, a "sparking slugger."

Stupid me, I didn't do any batting practice and just jumped into the combine. I ended up getting a C for hitting, which i wasn't pleased with. Wasn't hard or anything, just didn't get my groove back fast enough during the limited number of pitches. Finished with "A" in fielding, and proceeded to the 4 games.

I did ok. I got a hit in 3 of the 4 games. Nothing over the top. My projection ended up being for the 6th round.

Draft came around, and I ended up indeed going in the 6th to the Angel's. Actually, I was happy a 3B needy team took me, so I didn't have to sit behind a star.

I flew to the majors, and I mean flew. I lit up AA batting over .400, and hit over .350 in AAA, and managed to sneak into the majors for 49 games. I hit .303 with 17hrs and 49 RBI, cruising to rookie of the year honors. I'm glad it shows on my player card. Gone are the notebooks with player awards I used to keep.

I resigned with the team following my first year. 2 years, $1.6 million.

As of now, I am just playing an entire series, followed up by simming the next series. Unless it's a 4 game series or a ballpark I enjoy playing in ex: Fenway Park, Roger's Center, Coors etc etc. For me, it's a good balance of not feeling too short of a career or too long.

Will update at the midpoint of my first full season in the Majors.

Let's see your story.

Only thing I am finding different are the pitchers. Obviously as I climbed through the ranks that got smarter, and deadlier with thier breaking pitches. That's to be expected tho.

I am on default Vet, with one tic to the right on CPU fastball speed as its too slow for my eyes. maybe switching to dynamic here soon for a full season, and then up to my usual All-Star.

Re: RTTS 24- How is yours going?

I play on legend so i got a false sense of confidence tearing the cover off the ball in AA. Once i got called up to AAA i got a reality check lol

Re: RTTS 24- How is yours going?

I played Outfield last year so I made a SS this year. Got drafted in the 8th round by the Reds. I was scared because they have a great young SS in Elly De La Cruz, but excited cause I live in Chattanooga so I get to play for my local Lookouts. I blew through AA and moved to AAA. After a few games the coach came to me, and suggested I move positions to 3B or maybe seek a trade. I took the 3B option, and ended up getting called up a little bit after the switch. Tearing up MLB currently and only have about 2 weeks left in the regular season. I will admit I play on lower difficulties in RTTS. I play on Allstar for franchise.

Re: RTTS 24- How is yours going?

I've started two.

The first was a slugging first baseman that I only hit with. No fielding. No base running. Was soooooo bad at throwing to a base that I got a terrible rating in the combine. Drafted by the Rangers (Ugh) and hacking away at Frisco. Been a doubles machine and through the first few weeks, I was batting .400. Have slumped a bit recently and am hitting about .330 with one homer and about six doubles.

The second RTTS I started was a woman modeled after my niece. Super tall and athletic. Control pitcher. Creation was unique, but almost immediately the dialogue slows things down. Constant texting between a friend and my character about the combine. Then, when I finally got through what felt like hours of texting simulation, I got to pitch. I throw a great game, hitting the corners and not getting hit too much. But then it becomes a dialogue and texting sim again. I haven't played a game yet because I am stuck in this crappy conversation. Even the draft is a long text sim.

Terrible.

Re: RTTS 24- How is yours going?

Started my 8 RTTS last week and playing a series with each before jumping in another one (yeah, I know, I'm not normal!).

So, my lineup of RTTS looks like this :

1B : Mark Teixeira
2B : Roberto Alomar
3B : Chipper Jones
SS : Derek Jeter
LF : Barry Bonds
CF : Ken Griffey Jr.
RF : Tony Gwynn
RF : Vladimir Guerrero Sr.

So far so good. The batter I have the most success so far is Alomar. Seems like playing with Guerrero I swing at everything, while I tend to be so much more patient with Gwynn!

As for the settings, playing HoF with the Armor&Sword sliders.

I really enjoy the game and the mode!!

Re: RTTS 24- How is yours going?

Is it just me or can you no longer create a speedster? I created a “contact” profile shortstop and he had 30 speed.

It seems no matter how well you do, or don't do the player is the exact same.

I watched a guy on YouTube kill everything before being drafted. In the end the atts were the same as mine, he was just drafted higher.

It all just depends on the perks and archetype you choose. Speed for you will increase quickly vs everything else.

Re: RTTS 24- How is yours going?

How long did it take you guys to get promoted to the Majors? I made a power swinging 2nd baseman and got drafted in the 7th round to the team I hate the most the Cardinals. Through 42 games in double AA I am leading the league in batting average (.408) , hits (71), Doubles (18) , HRs (10) , RBI (38) On Base% (.423) , and slug % (.684) and OPS (1.107) I’m currently a 67 ovr which is higher than all other minor league 2nd baseman in our organization so it’s like I should at least be in AAA but ugh.

Re: RTTS 24- How is yours going?

I am not sure what happened, but my RTTS player got stuck on god mode for an entire series. He's a switch hitter and over 6 games he hit 28 consecutive doubles to either the left field gap as a lefty or down the left field line as a righty. Once the series ended, everything went back to normal. He got called up to the majors the following week.

Re: RTTS 24- How is yours going?

Created a groundball pitcher using the control/break archetype tossing a 2fb, splitter, 12-6, and slider (in that order).

10 games in AA with an 0.70 ERA of domination.
5 games in AAA never giving up a run.

In the majors now, mid August. 7 starts with a 3.00 ERA , 3 walks and 48 ks in 48 innings. Been a rude awakening but had a good outing last game.

This is the best pitching experience I've had in the show since it came to Xbox.

Took me less than a full season. I ended up playing 40 games in the majors my first year.

Year 2 I hit 47 hrs and led the league with 150 RBI. Lost the MVP to Judge who hit a ridiculous 64 hrs and 127 rbi. Did get a silver slugger and all star appearance.

Currently in year 3 and im just going OFF. At work so I can't say how many games im in, but im already at 21 hrs. Hit 5 in 5 days against the Cards and Pirates. Ball just looks beach ball size right now.
