@squishiesgirl idk where that is

check where your msgs are

A refund.... funny joke lol

Also having the same issue it is definetly bugged. Have also been playing DD and ain't touched the sliders. I was playing as sparkplug and it would register hits and PA's sometimes on it's program and sometimes it wouldn't. After a while i fancied trying out slugger so created a 2nd loadout and activated it. After 2 homers and a few doubles on my first two series of games it registered 0 on XBH's and only registered the PA's from one series.

@red_ted_is_back said in How do you RTTS as a catcher?:

It was because my ballplayer was a lefty. Change him to a righty and you can choose catcher.

I’m now testing what happens when you back out, change throw hand to lefty and go back into catcher RTTS.

Edit: it forces you to be a righty catcher, even though it says you throw L. When your pitching comes up as a two way, you’re throwing L. Probably the best way to do it.

Slightly disappointed that despite not having a mask in my loadout my catcher had one on field. I really wanted to see how that played out without one 🙂

Just pretend you borrowed the Equipment Mgrs. 15 YO mask that was handed down, never washed and has all the 15 year dings, scratches and smells ....... lol

It’s a bug one guy has his player gold archetype and it still shows it as bronze

@blvk11_xbl said in Will we be able to disable RTTS challenges this year?:

I'm frustrated too. They completely ruined RTTS! I had a PS4 and played MLB The Show since '14. I now play '21 on the Series X. This is the only year I really felt disappointed in how they handled this mode. I don't want to wait next year to enjoy this mode again. Everybody else feels the same way about RTTS right now. They need to provide a update and fix this. They really went the EA route and obselted their other game modes for Diamond Dynasty. Smh.

Yeah, it’s terrible. I’ve decided to go back to The Show 18 to see out my career there. I’m tempted to request a refund from Sony but I’m not sure how lenient they are. I probably played around 5 hours between setting up a Franchise and perfecting my new RTTS character so...

One hack/trick you can do to get in the majors way faster is going into the roster before entering rtts and turning down the overalls in the position you want to play for and save that roster and load it up in Rtts. For example if you lower all the 3rd basemans overalls on your team to like 50 or lower they will play poorly and get sent down to AAA or double A. So as long as you play better than them in double A you will get called up quickly and you might even be able to skip AAA altogether. Just make sure your stats like homeruns and rbis are more than theirs.

Don’t worry, you can go buy a bunch of “perks” on the market which will give you more power or contact at the expense of your defense or vision. Whatever you want!

You probably picked a perk that changed your position. Go to the Tatis icon in the top left and change your perk back to one for a catcher.

There are perk packs available if you progress using some of the perk program. But the Filthy Perk was not updating for any of my games. I did progress some of the Batting ones but not the Pitching. I sure hope that using a perk that is recommended for a reliver on a SP stops the progression. There is only one Perk recommended for a SP so it is frustrating not getting the progression points to get the perk pack to build up my player because i refuse to spend money on this. And do not get me started on the loadouts, you should be able to have a pitcher and batter load out for a two way player they have a lot to fix in this game and lots of the gambles they took did not pay off. I feel that they have ruined a good game

I started one rtts save and wanted to do a different one with different pitches. When I started the second one I was pushed in with the same pitch’s and no way to change it. Am I missing something? Very disappointed in rtts so far

You should be able to add or swap pitches in Bullpen session. Then go to ballplayer to the right it should show what pitches are active for that player. 🙂

The issue is more so with starting a new save file & not having the ability to have a different repertoire. Seems like the cutscene asking you to confirm your repertoire was a one-time thing for initial RTTS files (really for your 'Ballplayer' via your first RTTS file, which is just weird)

It would be a bit of a nightmare trying to finesse your way to a new repertoire. Replacing & removing pitches over weeks of training sessions.

I'm talking from a standpoint of having one pitcher who is: sinker, slider, 4-seam, [etc], [etc] --- clearly a sinker ball pitcher, works in the bottom of the zone, edges, can elevate when needed.

Another pitcher who is: 4-seam, 12-6, cutter/slider, [etc], [etc] ---- flamethrower who throws high heat, breaks the curveball off of that, can hit you with some lateral movement against same-handed batters.

Simultaneously having both pitchers, on separate save files, looks impossible right now.

Trying to find out if it's an intentional design or a bug. That determines what I do next in TS21.

Yeah it does seem like based off of Architype should be pitch type choices to coincide with perks and loadouts. Well with no progression either it's possibly a bug.
