@UrMomLieksMudkip_PSN said in Do training drill stop being offered in AAA?:

Topic. Just got promoted to AAA, and those training drills that used to come up before the first game in every series don't seem to be happening anymore. They were kinda a nice way to get a quick boost, and I like the idea of my character hitting the weights to get stronger.

Yes, but because the call up to AAA happens 1 game into a new 6 game series, you won't get it until after your first full 6 game series. I almost wonder if it's a glitch, because in the previous years you only had to play 3 games to reset the available training session.

I agree. And the possibility of some people complaining should have nothing to do with it. The game is shortchanging not only RTTS but also Franchise. You cannot properly manage your roster when you have no actual game play in the so-called Class A level in Franchise, which is really just a repository for around 11 players you don't have room for on your MLB, Class AAA, or Class AA rosters.

Each MLB teams should have their two Class A affiliates present in the game.

@AllRise99_NSW I have messed around with sliders and while some sliders will work to improve the game (AI injury, walks) it seems to do nothing to remedy this problem. It doesn't even matter if you are playing a team like the white Sox, the Marlins or the Rockies. If you sim, you are going to get blown up.

I also started to notice that if you move a great defender like Walker from Arizona, whoever's replacing him will win a gold glove. Doesn't matter if his defense rating is 65... he will win it and Walker will suck at 1st for whoever his new team is. Same with Kiermaier and any other gold glover.

Maybe next year

@Thexboxgamer13_XBL said in 97 OVR isn’t getting called up after 12 seasons:

I’m extremely confused because I’ve been playing RTTS character for months now i’ve built up all of my characters skill sets, attributes, and I’ve had legendary seasons hitting 50 home runs and an average over .400 to have an 97 OVR player. For this year’s game, I wanted to play as the female option which I really enjoyed for the story it developed until i began to notice a pattern.

I couldn’t get called up or advance unless Mia Lewis did it first. Which wasn’t an issue in my experience until she eventually made the MLB & i was still stuck in AAA. It didn’t matter how many Spring Trainings or seasons I played without skipping at the end of it I would get told “You have been option to AAA”. I began simulating seasons to see if maybe it was Mia Lewis that was affecting my chances, but I still was being optioned to AAA. I attempted switching teams which didn’t help and they did the exact same thing. And consistently when i check the position ranking, I’m at the top!

Now my character is 33 years old, has been playing for 12 seasons & has not been called up at all? Meanwhile Mia Lewis has already played in three All-Star Games and is on her 6th season in the MLB!

Is this a glitch for the Female Character RTTS player ? I’m really tired of playing in AAA and the minors in general PLEASE any help would be appreciated

What's your position and teams? This can often affect your call up time. I've created 4 Female players: Catcher, Starting Pitcher, First Base, and Two-way Starting Pitcher/Right Fielder. The Catcher and First Base both got the call for The Show on June 1st (AAA on May 1st), the Starting Pitcher got the call up July 1st (AAA June 1st) and the Two-way player got the call up on May 15th (AAA May 1st). All of them for the Cincinnati Reds. My Starting Pitcher is the furthest along (May of 2025) and still pitching for the Reds. You have no negotiating power above trying to get a little higher pay per year in your first 6 seasons (I tried avoiding the contract with the "Minors" send down option, you can't). I have yet to have any player sent back down to the Minors after my first season (I've been playing since 21). Of course, I usually aim to put up record numbers without going too high as to force a stat reset.

FYI: Player overall rating and attribute levels have little to no impact in my experience. In my experience with MLB The Show, in game performance has the most impact. How often are you in the top 4 notable performances of the game for your team? How often are you listed at the #1 spot? Stuff like this will have a greater impact than being 97 overall.

And when I can manage the same timeline of call ups (not sure about the mid-May call up to The Show) using nothing but bronze level cards (Skill Set & Perks) and Silver equipment (lowest level), that tells me it's less the attributes and more about performance. The previous 3 games had an identical call up pattern for all players of after theAll-Star game to the AAA and beginning of August to The Show (2021 was nearly mid August due to how far back they pushed the start of the season). This is the first year where your position affects how soon it actually is, but it appears they all get called up to The Show before the All-Star Game. I've been playing since 21 and this has been what I have seen in game.

Can you guys please add sliding mitt to rtts

@UrMomLieksMudkip_PSN triangle 🔺️ is bunt, ⬛️ is power, 🔵 is contact and X is normal. I've only been playing since 2021, but most of the controls are practically the same as EA MVP Baseball from the 2000s.

Been a few years like that with guess pitch and dive jump 😞

I Save after every game.

See you tomorrow!

There are hundreds of real world MLB players who hope they only go two to three weeks between homers! Hitting two a week is about enough to lead the league in homers. Depending upon your difficulty settings, what you report is entirely reasonable.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL said in HR reset at 260?:

The limit per season is 255 because that is the numerical presentation of the underlying hexadecimal value that is updated to record your per season homer tally. The designers of SDS really didn't anticipate, or likely even want, to see folks raking up such a lofty total. So, I suspect they never considered it a problem, and are probably even less desirous of "fixing" it.

I had the same thing happen.
The 255 is interesting, because I think it was a factor in Triple Play Baseball. It was a cap on RBI's if I recall back then.
I was using a female player and playing on 'Beginner' to have fun.
