If you want random you could always put all the teams names on paper,cut them up,put in hat and draw one out.There's probably even an app that would do the same thing.

@CapnBob78 said in New 1st-Ever Event in RTTS:

It wasn’t as rare pre 18 when you were able to buy the attribute points with stubs to make your player better way quicker ... I did it because I had the stubs and it was available, though I am glad they removed that from the game

I sort of enjoy the grind myself but there certainly are people who would like to be 99OVR out of the gate,playing only on their favorite team and only the position they choose.
It's the "sim" vs" arcade" debate which I doubt will ever end.

From Reddit " someone on OS showed me a fix. Loading up your '19 sliders does something to the save file. So delete your '20 RTTS save file and then load your carryover file again from '19. Just gonna have to make a new slider set. Anyway, this worked for me. If you didnt load '19 sliders in your '20 RTTS, then I dont know a fix. Everyone I know of who were having this problem had loaded their '19 sliders."

Supposedly RTTS players are a large percentage of players yet no posts.Same thing on OS-the RTTS thread frequently disappears off the front page.Unlike the franchise players I guess we are all introverts
Merry Xmas and all that!

@Red_Ted_is_back said in What do you want in RTTS 20:

6. Reintroduce inside the show back into RTTS.

7. Include in all season-based modes a daily text summary that includes milestones and other highlights from the day’s games, something that was previously in Franchise (on a smaller scale) but was removed in 18 for no apparent reason.

8. Reintroduce to all season-based modes the newspaper stories that were in the game up to 10 or 11 The Show and were removed.

What's a newspaper?

I don't particularly like the direction RTTS is taking either but there must be some segment of the population that likes this stuff.Is there some other game's career mode that MLB The Show is trying to copy ?

In 20 "Developing New Pitches is Easier Than Ever
Whether it is learning a new pitch to add to your arsenal or changing that arsenal by replacing one pitch with another, Pitchers will now find ample opportunity to develop their unique tools of attack."

You are not alone!I've got 3 SP's going along with one CP-who started out as SP but got switched and since we won WS in first year I'm leaving him be.
My question about changing pitches is do you retain the levels you have built the pitch up to with the new pitch?
Not me but there are people who think they get called up too quickly-they would rather be in minors for years.Different strokes I guess.

I guess that answers my question as to whether you can change your dynamic difficulty level at will(no).
For example I usually play at All Star plus-right up against the line for the next level.But I wouldn't mind checking out how bad I'm outclassed at let's say Legend for one game and then drop back to All Star plus without starting back on Beginner.
Perhaps there is a way to do that I'm not aware of.

Yes you can change whenever you want, in settings under game options

Thanks for that.

@Lone_Gun_Mann said in Only 45 % ?:

I've upgraded to 80-80.

Meh I use directional hitting only, guess pitch, and diamond equipment. I'm sure most would consider that cheating.

There is no cheating in RTTS.

If someone who never played looked at that number they'd think it was a tough game.

Yes -a teammate has to have the pitch you want.I guess you"ll have to get traded to a team where one of your new teammates has the pitch or see if your team brings in a pitcher with that pitch.I wouldn't hold my breath.
Pretty sure option is always there.

According to SDS only 45 percent of RTTS players make it to the show.That just seems really low to me unless a lot of people are creating players and then giving up.

Bugged me for years.Had the CPU do the same thing to the opposing team the other day.

Other people are mentioning same problem on OSF.

@jhack9 said in Getting Benched:

If i remember correctly, whenever your agent contacts you he asks you once every so often if your happy in your current situation. If you play it up he ask if you want to get traded. I swear it worked for me last yr. I haven't started a guy this yr yet. But pretty sure its still in the gm. But I've been wrong before

And you haven't been traded to a last place team?That's usually what happens to me when ever I whine about wanting to be traded.
I can see the scene at your new teams office
MGR "Welcome to the team.We look forward to your contribution.Any questions"
You "Yeah-How do I get out of dis chickensh*t outfit" (Courtesy Aliens.)

Thanks for the Q&A.

There are people that claim classic pitching can be more than just a heave it at the plate mode-that it all depends on when you hit the X
I'm sticking with analog.

@CrownySuccubus said in As SP moved to CP. Will they put me back?:

No, don't do that.

When you're in AA, your coach will automatically tell you they're moving your position for a while. You HAVE to do it. If you tell him you don't want you, you will get benched.

Unless your character was performing very badly in your original role, they will move you back eventually.

I don't know why some people in this thread told otherwise. Maybe they're just trolling the new guy.

I definitely was not "trolling the new guy".What I said happened happened and the characters were not performing all that badly.
But I wouldn't recommend a restart either.Too early.
