Restart the game. Archetypes should be there upon reload.

I haven't bothered trying this new setup yet bc tbh RTTS is turning me off. For one, getting rid of the showcase games stunk. But then seeing how they revamped making your own player and it's...offputting. Waaaaay too much for me. I can appreciate that they wanted us to be able to put our created player in other modes not just RTTS but...it's too much. The older system was way more streamlined and made more sense. Plus I just ended up editing some of the franchise mode players into myself anyways so it was a wash.
I made two loadouts for my created player - one for hitting & one for pitching - and I'm pretty sure I did it wrong. It feels like a case of them fixing something that wasn't broken, at least in terms of creating your own player.

I'm sure when I go back to it to give it a proper chance I'll warm up to it a bit, but right now I'm just disappointed.

Yes they got rid of it,... another DD casualty

YES just what ALL of us RTTS players wanted... Forced to play DD to upgrade our RTTS players YESS

Wow! Ungrateful people i offer a way to help you get perks and equipment to help you with your RTTS player and that is your response? Do us all a favor and just uninstall the game!

I should be grateful that the only way to progress my RTTS player is to play DD? The fact that this is the only way to progress the character is not good. Thanks for letting people know that this is the only way to progress but this mode needs to be reworked for next year and this integration between DD and RTTS should be scrapped. Good luck to anyone willing to power through and grind conquest just so you can play RTTS.

Bla blah blah! Some people will do it. If you choose not to fine bye!

Great job making it the 100th thread on a topic already being discussed!👍

hey idk if you knew this or not but you dont have to read or comment if you dont like the topic. just scroll past it. its pretty simple actually

Take your own advice "senor ironic!" (rolls eyes)

buddy I'm not the one complaining about what people post on a public forum. I'm sorry that all you want to do on here is talk about how great SDS is but obviously that's not a universally shared sentiment. if people want to make posts and be outspoken for their displeasure of the game they have the right to do that. the same way you have the right to blindly defend the game at every turn.

Read Code of Conduct:

No Thread spamming, comments or advertisie.

So yeah he couldv'e made his post in one of the other threads already created. You wanna keep trying to outshow me?

By the way op i never said i didn't agree with some of what you said.

this isnt spam though my guy. if another poster creates a separate post voicing their own frustrations in their own words. thats not spam. no one is trying to "outshow" you dude, whatever tf that means.

Goodbye! Welcome to Grizz's blocked user cell block #5. If i wanted to babysit i wouldv'e been a nanny. Cya!👍

Oh no, ive been blocked for disagreeing with someone. what ever will i do that i got blocked by grizzbear55 on theshow forums lol

@gravesoulkeeper_xbl said in Can't Create a Catcher:

in majors they don't use left handed catchers do to most batters are right handed and would make it hard to throw out any runner trying to steal 3rd since batter would be in the way more then right handed catcher

Lame reason. I did fine throwing people out. I just took a step back threw behind the batter. Majors is a different story though I'm sure.

I know its sad that left handers like me is locked to only outfield, 1st, or pitcher its main reason I didn't play baseball because I always liked SS and couldn't play because of what hand I throw with

We don't want the mode to be connected to DD. People in DD will never use the " Ballplayer " anyway. We can only make one player which can get stale very fast. The loadouts aren't very fun just let us progress our player as we play. What is so bad about gaining attributes by playing RTTS? Forced to be online to play is also a baffling decision so when the servers go off in 2 years the mode will be completely unplayable if you go to revisit the game or keep playing it. Also can't play when your servers go out or when our internet goes out. The progression system isn't very good when it works which it doesn't most of the time unfortunately. You are forced to play DD to progress your player currently because that is the only way the " programs " will track missions and stats. Also every time you go into loadouts it glitches out your gear and you have to switch everything back. Like it will give you just one batting glove put the foot guard back on forced sunglasses on always instead of when just fielding and much more including swing types when you have a built stance it can be very frustrating to have to fix it just because you went to the loadout screen to check " programs " progress. So please SDS just make RTTS like you used to for next years game. We want to be able to make multiple characters, not be connected to DD, and just gain attributes from playing not this " perk/architype " system.

known issue. SDS is working on it

Really Dumb tbh.
It was the main attraction of this series to me.

@kojak0013_psn said in Only 1 Loadout for a 2-way player is ridiculous:

If I am a two way player and I am pitching for a national league team SDS will have you believe that I no longer have my batting skills I did the day before when I was playing second base. This is ridiculous, 2-way players should be able to have a load out for their position and one for the pitching - you put the skill points so low that it is like they forget they can hit when your pitching load out is on - I like that you tried but this whole system is fundamentally flawed and you better be fixing this fast, way too many errors for a released game, I would not have expected this many errors in a beta version. AND there better be some MAJOR compensation for this because I never would have spent the extra money to get the game early if I would have known this would have happened. This is the worst you guys have messed up ever, and that is saying a lot seeing some of the mistakes you guys released in the past. You may want to scrap this idea or go one step father - maybe create 5 loadouts and create the 5-tool ballplayer - but until you address ALL of the errors that you allowed to be released with this game I do not see me buying this game ever again. You have a lot to fix so you better get to it, time is not your friend right now.

"Major compensation? For what? Because you're terrible at the game obviously? Stay off the internet kid, go outside for a bit.

Whether I am good or not at this game has no bearing with what I am saying. Try reading a bit son, going through life angry and stupid is no way to live. I was simply saying that the loadout concept was not thought out very well and they need to re-examine it, expand on it, or scrap it for next year. And spending an extra $30 for a game that is clearly in the beta stage was not my idea of a deal... they always come through and make up for their errors but it better be worth it is all I am saying.

its a loadout issue, for whatever reason it always reverts certain pieces of equipment. Just another bug tied into the loadout system

Will SOTS/ importing custom music be available for xbox users in mlb the show 21? When I had a ps4 I loved using this feature, in fact, it's one of the main reasons why I enjoyed the game so much.

I don't see why it wouldn't, it's been in game as long as i can remember. XBOX shouldn't be any different.

SDS has been very adament about wanting New Players with XBOX to be able to have same experience that playstation users been having for past 15+ years. 🙂

since the GP version is out. I've been looking around and I don't see it.
geez they made the menus a pain to get around what was wrong with the simplicity of 20?
but am I just missing it?
I would be kinda annoyed if they removed it.

Unfortunately unforeseen by everyone it is only available on ps4 this year. But looking back the feature was removed when the jump to ps3 to ps4 happened.

If you are on ps4, the main screen there is a gear and you can access sounds of the show there. 🙂

😆 😆 😠
well good thing I didn't buy this then. I was really thinking of buying the xbox version to give them a chance.
Thank you.
(the default music is always terrible. hope they add it in a future update. Honestly I don't see how removing things is an "update" This was one of my favorite things, lol.)

Well take care!

I mean I'll still play this on xbox.
(but at least I have a reason to keep playing 20 as well now. positive side to everything)
(lol the forum switched me to my xbox account lol)

They are a small team. Sounds like they had issues with money transactions on peoples accounts that will take precedence everytime over a fake character career.

It is obviously a bug sometimes bugs take while to figure out. Play something else and try to unlock things that will help with your character down the road. I know this isn't what people want to hear but "[censored] Happens" they didn't do this on purpose.

They charged us money for early access. If it was not ready for launch then they should not have charged money to play it early. I expect the things I pay for to be working. If there were just a few bugs I would be fine. But to charge people to play a game where the core of the game mode is not functional? That is unacceptable and there is no excuse.

The thing is core game was working. It wasn't until update that progression broke so it was ready for early release. Just something didn't jive with update. There is no way anybody couldv'e known update was gonna break it. And i assure you they didn't do it on purpose.

Umm it’s called beta testing before launching an update. They failed.

before release they mainly focus testing on gameplay i.e. hitting, pitching and fielding. The programs and other stuff in game they must not test at all bc they manage to have the same issues over and over

For many years now, the reason I've been a loyal PS customer is because this title was an exclusive title. Now that this title is cross platform, seriously considering going back to Xbox. Especially considering you can't find a PS5 without paying scalper prices these days.

For all those years, I've played 100's of hours on RTTS. It can be, when it's working well, a tremendous amount of fun. The positions I have most enjoyed playing have been SS, 1B and RF. God help you if you get moved to catcher against your will (previous years would do this to you, not sure of 2021).

I like the idea of the 2-way player. Hate how SDS has implemented that. Here's the news flash - very few kids out of high school or college can both pitch and play a different position. Being forced to do both (albeit for a very short period of time) sucks - especially as if going both ways is not what you want, and then you choose, say, to be a SS, you then don't seem to ever get to choose your secondary fielding position. Your secondary remains a SP.

I'm also very skeptical of how the "loadout" system is going to work if you have to switch between one build and the other based on the position you are going to be filling in the next game.
