Isn’t sliding now left thumb stick? That’s what I’ve been using and it seemed to me like it was working. If it isn’t, I’m incredibly embarrassed!

Just checked and it's L1 and R stuck to slide.

Oops, just discovered we must be using different baserunning controls. Tried what you said and as soon as I hit L1 approaching 3rd to slide, my player turns around to go back to second! Tagged out of course.

Then I checked the in-game controls screen and it looks like you’re right for analog baserunning and I’m right for buttons baserunning.

@AlphaDag13 said in He bunted? Really?!?!:

The baseball IQ in this game is incredibly low. The bunting by power hitters, the unbeatable run downs, the amount of throws that fielders attempt that players in real life never would, etc. shows how far the show really has to go before it’s truly “realistic.”

It’s taken a step backwards from realism in RTTS plays to give the user more play opportunities. Never used to see plays like this, but then again, never played a catcher. Only all other infielders and pitchers and outfielders.

Torn calf just the other day, 60 day DL, lost my chance at the MVP when I was very obv going to triple crown lol. I was returning to first after about 5 [censored] pickoff attempts by the CPU, durability was in the low 80s, 2B.

Keep the left stick held back. I usually hold R1 and lean to get a better jump. Best trick is to watch their catcher and not their pitcher. The second the catcher makes the slightest movement, move the left stick up. That's the way I get good jumps on RTTS. Good luck, mang.

Mine's been all year. The second baseman I created often doesn't cover second on a steal, even when I'm pushing the stick that way. He just won't move.

Lol I thought so that’s funny

they used to have a stat list that you could work toward breaking but now it is in you profile so you end up breaking them with all your players you created

These arent illegal slides though. This happens all the time. If the fielder gets in the baseline, which they have to touch the bag, also a new rule, use to just have to touch near the bag, it is on them to get out of the baseline if the runner is coming. So this usually leads to the fielder getting upended LEGALY, because they are in the baseline. That whole rule was implemented to keep baserunners from sliding OUT of the line of path to the base to take out the fielder. Something I have NEVER seen happen in this game. This includes sliding late and over shooting the bag to intentionally take out the fielder.

In short, what you say happens doesnt happen.

To me this whole personality thing is a total waste of time. I started playing RTTS in 2009 when you played baseball and not a bunch of other stuff. SDS keeps changing and adding things that either are unfinished like social media and agent or it ruins the game like archetypes and caps. I have always enjoyed creating players and bringing them up to the majors. I always hear about how we need more immersion. I think instead of adding all this garbage try having the player have to grind out some time in the minors and actually earn his way to the majors. This is my last year of buying this game. I can't enjoy it anymore. I like baseball, work up to the majors then try to break records but if all that happens in 3-4 seasons then yes it is boring.

You do know that when you create a player you have the option of picking the team you want to play for. If you don't want to do that then don't complain about the team that drafts you because usually it is a bad team that needs good players

His point is that he likes his player on the Tigers, but doesn't want to be with them.

She 😁 I'm The_DoctorsWife

She. I wasn't paying attention. 🙂

It seems strange that in Franchise, you get the announcers telling about your game and if there was a big accomplishment. Then they give overview of other games. So why not in RTTS after our games.

Like almost everything in this game, no thought or intelligence given

I like to do a character from The Office every year. This year it was Kevin Malone (though he hasn't played an inning in months)

I have it set to showtime and throwing meter but only because I've tried button accuracy and throwing meter with no success.

@eatyum said in Why Did I Sign With the Tigers *facepalm*:

That's what you get for having Matthew Boyd as your "ace", I'm surprised they don't allow 20 runs a game.

I signed with the Tigers because I've always been a fan, but also to bring them to the WS since they're bad right now. Learnt my lesson, sigh.

Hopefully Franchise and RTTS will be expanded to single A and the pre-draft stuff is improved.
Performance pre-draft really does need to have more of an impact. A two-day showcase really doesn't give enough to justify the player going in the first few rounds. So there needs to be more. Problem with adding things to do before the draft is it's a lot of development work for something that's only in each RTTS career right at the start and then that's it. Hard to justify resource allocation.

Because like everything SDS does it is half done. Take a look at the social media gimmick, cell phone and agent thing and the personality garbage.

Just found out this 2 way in RTTS is indeed a thing.I really had not heard about until today

The anomaly skin or pure power bat skin? And the anomaly skin I think is from a boss challenge
