Love the idea. I’ve been wanting it for years.

When they introduced the agent into this game they did a half [censored] job. He only contacts you about half way through the season and once in the off season. You can not call him, As I have said before "hey SDS cell phones do work on out going calls, duh"

This has been going on for half a season and now into Free Agency. No matter what team I sign with

Yes they should at least bang a trash can so we know what the sign is

This is an odd one. I have been called up in previous versions of MLB the Show in September, only got a few at-bats, then made the MLB team in the next year. I should have been eligible for Rookie of the Year, but wasn't according to MLB the Show (not sure if that was a bug that has been fixed). According to MLB, the limit is 130 AB's or 50 IP.

I was called up in late July this year, and my stats were good enough to beat out others for ROY.

I'd really like to know the real answer myself

Thanks for the Q&A.

Currently playing RTTS because internet is out and can’t play DD. Playing on legend difficulty. Is there any advantage to this as far as rewards ? Or any rewards at all?

As far as I know the difficulty of road to the show is just making the game be what you want to be.

The only benefit that RTTS contributes to DD is that you earn XP while playing so you do still make come progress

That's new to me. I know Yelich's fielding attributes have gone up in my 2024 RTTS since I drafted him in my franchise mode. Which, btw, they need to increase in general, because he is a much better fielder than this game gives him credit for in the first place. I have been meaning to make a post about that...

Thanks for your post. It saved all of the upgrades or downgrades for the off-season apparently. I checked again the day after the World Series ended, and everyone had + or - for every attribute like they should have for the entire season. I like to know these things in real time but at least they did happen.

Really? I'll have to look into that.

Yeah, I should have elaborated better. I mean on challenges you get to increase your stat cap more than just the training. Mine was for an extra 5 durability cap and I had to steal 3 bases and 3 extra base hits over the next 3 games. Those kind of challenges.

Control is for sure an issue. I wish there was an alternate setting for this outside of just difficulty level. My friend and I play a fantasy drafted franchise mode every year and we constantly apologize for pitching not going anywhere close to where you tried to put them.

You have to cheat towards the base in order to get there on time. It's a stupid glitch that I have never experienced before this version and I always make a 2B Pokey Reese. I have given up on covering the base on the ground ball with 2 outs when a lefty is up. I just don't even run there, they figure it out. But yeah it happens on steals on covering the base in general. The only thing I haven't had an issue with is turning a double play.

@GregEBeatz said in Activate Perka:

For heavens sake, how do you use this perk?

Have you tried holding R2 as the pitch approacheth the plate? Usually only enough in the bar for one attempt per game (or at least that’s what it was pre-18).

There are separate clutch attributes for batting and pitching.

So when you score some RBIs (or not) as a batter in a clutch play, batting clutch changes.

Give up some runs (or not) as a pitcher, and pitching clutch changes.

I think it means they sat you for a game.

It's frustrating. My durability was 80+ and I was being sat (as a 99 ovr) once per series, including the game to last game of the year when I was in a race for the triple crown.

It's annoying and stupid.

I'll try that thanks

@Cobain93 said in CFD Drain:

so a pitcher with a negative CFD Drain....is that good or bad?

My pitcher is basically unhittable (like a 0.15 ERA)....yet is currently a -67% CFD?

Why?!?!

thats good, it means your confidence drains slower

Thanks! I assumed my team had less confidence in me.....
I'm a newbie! Thanks!

I've never thought to look at the catcher... because that wouldn't work in real life, lol. I thought last year's version cancelled your extra steps though. Maybe I just didn't know I was doing, or using just buttons or something.
