@doppelganger39 said in Showtime on the cover:

I thought they had to take the AL or NL MVP?

They have not used an actual league MVP on the cover since The Show 16 when Donaldson was on the cover after he won the 2015 MVP.

That is really all that RTTS has ever been. How you advance your stats has changed over the years but essentially it is just play games player locked into your RTTS character. They have made lame attempts at "storylines" and implements archetypes and perks and such but you still need to play he games.

On the plus side from what has been posted here it sounds like you will be able to create multiple players next year. But I don't expect a major overhaul for RTTS this year.

Man that’s a lot of hours we put. Content creators and hard core folks that play every game. Happy I played with Bacon’s fictional roster. I can just keep playing 21 with zero issues. For those who are not going to buy 22, do not do the updates to your 21 game for potential breaking.

@the_dragon1912 said in The Show cover info and discussion:

Braves will either get their first cover or the blue jays will get their 2nd cover in 23, not thats really the point of this post though

Not that it matters to me when all things are considered but I assume you are talking Acuna or Vlad Jr?

In the end it will depend on how they perform in 22. No reason to believe that either will have a major dropoff in '22 but stranger things have happened.

Again based on performance, and my favorite team, I would like to think that if Arenado or Goldy have really good seasons that they would be considered. Their careers have merited it plus they both have fans not only St louis but also their previous cities (both of which have also not had a cover).

Don't tell me they never resolved this issue??? LMAO. Considering they made their RTTS all about being a 2way player, they never resolved the problem where the premier 2 way player cant be used as such in their premier mode smh.

Sometimes I would see him on my bench available to pinch hit. Sometimes I don't

As far as coming in as a relief pitcher from the dugout, I dont even think that was ever an option LOL. Gotta cheese your way in there. Put him on the field, then move him over to pitch. Or pinch hit for the pitcher with Ohtan

@jake98833_psn said in The high off speed pitches:

I can't time high curves and changeups consistently but I can hit high fastballs consistently are timing windows quicker for offspeed pitches up in the zone

Isnt it funny that the two pitches you never throw up high in the zone are the most difficult to hit in a realistic baseball game? Three if u count the sinker

Honestly if it's not fixed in 22 I'll just buy God of War and wait for a mid season sale

Your stronger than me. Last purchase was '19. Done with the moving goal posts lol. I just hop on 19 when I need my baseball fix

It's really hard for me to throw in the towel on this series it's really the only decent sports game left but they have done gameplay/presentation so much better in other games especially on PS3

It's disappointing to say the least 😕 Tired of the tired excuses..My opinion, this is a $40 game. Not a AAA $60-$70 game.

At least in NBA2k the animations and gameplay are much more exciting. Seeing the same swings, animations, and overall gameplay over and over is a bore. Especially in high octane moments,(which are not many), the game(virtual fans) and announcers are almost lifeless.

It makes the hard grind through 9 innings to win a game by 1 run, very boring.

Freeze offs still gonna be a thing?

@surfinsantacruz_xbl said in Will Last Gen...:

it'll have the same features as next gen except stadium creator.

I know I would really like to make cosmetic changes to pre existing stadiums like adding logos and changing colors as a trade off to stadium creator would be awesome for franchise/season mode

I'll take 4/4. My baby is due on 3/17 so thats almost a whole month off where I will have time to play with no work obligations.

@chuckclc_psn said in Realistic hitting for 22🙏:

Its a fact. If you come to the plate and that pitcher is confident. No way with max power are you gonna hit a FB down the middle out of the park.

I'm not sure if you're agreeing with me or if you're trolling me 🤣

Just making fun of the confident meter. I am pretty sure IRL it doesnt matter how confident the pitcher is, if its a fat FB down the pipe it gets crushed.

So I recently got a PS5. What I have found is that your RTTS files have to be uploaded to the cloud from the PS4 version and downloaded and saved on the PS5. I do not believe that any locally saved files (like March to October) will work for both versions. If you have the PS4 version on your 5 it will see those save files, but the PS5 version will not. I had to start my March to October over on the PS5. Trophies do not transfer. Sony treats both versions as two separate games. I had to re-earn all the trophies on the PS5 version. It did not take very long other than having to play through a March to October session to get those.

@chuckclc_psn said in Yeah I Might...:

Most of their streams arent live, they are prerecorded. I do believe. Usually no problems when it is just between them in studio. But this one was a little different obviously.

Prior to this past year they were always live on their live streams. Covid changed that up this past year though and they went with pre-recorded. I would say that it is a toss-up which way they go moving forward.

@joshjays44_psn said in Very simple things to improve Franchise:

If SDS stops investing so much effort in nooby DD and online fluff card collecting modes maybe they'll have time to improve franchise.

SDS invests their time and energy into the modes people actually use.

Sorry Franchisers, but until there’s exponentially more of you, it’s not going to change.

It will happen eventually. Who knows when. But everything is cyclical. Take vinyls for example (literally cyclical as well, hah). And external exams.

@bmoo44_psn said in Once you parallel card to V...:

Been playing all year and have yet to P5 one player

Closest I got was like halfway through P4.

My goal is Eric Davis, favorite player at P4 and iam terrible with him but i will do it

It among a lot of things dont function on PS4 worth messing with

@blind_bleeder said in Doubts!:

The highest pitch control numbers belong to 95 Monthly Awards Ryan Pressly and 99 Milestone Cy Young. Both have 97.

After that, you have 8 pitchers at 96, and 5 at 95.

Of course...if you parallel any of those...

Monthly Awards Ryan Pressly is criminally underrated.

@doppelganger39 said in Any news on the show 22?:

Is it next gen only?
Twitch sched?
Trailer or trailer release date?
Cover?

It'll be on current gen and next gen with 100% probability!

They just announced cover will be made known on 31 Jan.

Trailers should follow in Feb. Last year 1 Feb was when the first trailer was released and mid Feb was when the weekly premieres arrived.

Thank you
