What improvements do you want to see in RTTS for MLB The Show 21?
-
Animations:
1. Pitching animations tend to be slower than in real life. The animations need a bit more speed. Maybe time for a game speed slider?Visuals:
1. See more emotions in the game like players reacting to error on field, making a impressive play on field, pitchers not getting the calls they want, batters not getting the calls they want.
2. Teammates in dugout chilling and cheering on their teammates who are at bat or on the field.
3. Show managers mad/yelling about a certain call that the umpire made.Commentary:
1. Smarter and deeper level of commentary. The commentary is the same in every game. Maybe update the commentary every few weeks. Madden did this.RTTS:
1. Increasing overall should be faster. And caps should be removed. It's nothing more annoying than trying to increase a skill but it's blocked with a cap. Old school style of upgrading what you want with skill point.
2. Ability to call your agent whenever and not just in between the season or off season. (example: demanding trade immediately, changing to any position, speaking with media). In real life players have full control over their careers .
3. Switching positions to the one you want instead of the suggested one (example: changing from pitcher to outfield, catcher to infield, outfield to pitcher, etc). In rtts we can't change our position, the game chooses the position for us.
4. Interviews with media that influence teammates to play better, encourage more fans to show up, boost team sales, boost team attraction for free agents to sign with team, etc.
5. Make contracts actually mean something (example: buying different style jewelry, upgrading player skills, buying a house, car, personal chef , or trainer.) Like as you get better (more money) in the league you go from apartment to condo to home to mansion. Almost similar to GTA . The more top rank and money you make the better lavish your living situation is.
6. Asking management to target certain players in free agency as well as asking management to keep certain players who you enjoy on the team like in 2K.
7. Apartment, condo, or home in rtts would be cool cause let's be real players aren't in lockerooms 24/7. Also would be cool to see actual rings/trophies/awards our rtts player has earned like in a trophy/display case.
8. After awhile of playing RTTS I found dynamic/boss challenges and player skill increase/player relationship icons intrusive during gameplay. These things should be more subtle, or optioned to be turned off. It makes rtts gameplay seem more arcade while playing on field.
9. Keyword is control. I feel like letting the user have more control over rtts player would make it more fun on field and off field. Checking social media, talking to media like MLB Network, signing sponsorship deals to a brand, upgrading apartment to mansion, using contract money to buy tattoos, clothes, cars, equipment, hire trainer for offseason to boost overall, etc. Maybe some of this over the top but you get my point. Accessories:
1. Fix the jordan 1's. The coloring on the top flap of the shoe should match the red color. And can we see shoe laces tied now?
2. New elbow gaurds
3. Baserunning mitts -

The only control they have in the first seven years is to quit the sport if they don’t get what they want. Or something to that effect. And during a contract, they can’t just decide to change teams. So full control isn’t accurate.

Ehhh it depends on the player, if you’re a tatis or kershaw they won’t just let you walk away from the game because you can’t get what you want. Organizations are known for pleasing certain players to keep them to stay with a team. Not just baseball but other sports as well. If the player is worth the money the organization will do whatever they can to keep/sign them on the team. For example with the Lakers they let Lebron have say so on who he wants on the team.

Can you please bring back the skill point and you can spend them how you want. I hate the progression system turned me off the game mode.
Yes! When they did this it totally ruined rtts for me! It’s so tedious, along with a cut scene every freaking series! Rtts used to be amazing but not anymore

Here is my wishlist
Player Creation mainly for pitching
-
Start off in high-school or college or even both and play some games there. I can't be the only one who is tired of the topps showcase where we can't even increase our overall. Save that for after you are done with highscool and college.
-
Start off with higher stamina. It is literrally the stat that takes the longest to increase 65 stamina is far too low.
-
Choose a second archtype to go along with the first so your stats look more like a top pitching prospect and not a [censored] because we to be the best in our draft class
-
Choose how fast you want your pitches to be. I don't think velocity needs to be a attribute anymore. Before you start you should be able to choose the velocity you want for each pitch. Obviously you and have a minimum and maximum velo for example a changeup you can choose from 76 mph to 88 mph.
-
Draft day. The draft screen is boring you should be able to go up put on jersey in front of people or watch from home.
-
Two way players. I don't personally care for this but we should have the option. Since now pitchers can't bat in the nl give us the option to make one.
Upgrades
-
Get rid of caps please it just slows down the progression of our player.
-
Choose multiple things to train and do it whenever you want to. The worst part about training you have three options. Fielding weights and bullpen or batting. The problem is you can only pick one. You should be able to do all three of them and choose what you want to increase not have it give you options and the thing you want to upgrade isn' there.
-
Another solution could be to hire personal trainers to help you upgrade. That way the money you make from your contract matters because you could sign for 15 years 30k a year and it would matter. The better the trainer the better your upgrades.
-
Off season training to keep your guy in shape as you start to regress.
Pitches
-
88 mph change ups. Why is it not an option for created players every other mlb player can have it but not created one's.
-
Give us the outliner quirk. This is the issie of sd studios being too focused on dd l. That quirk that lets you exceed the max velo would be awesome to have in rtts espically with how fast guys are throwing sinkers these days.
Records
-
Team records both seasonal and all tome franchise records. There are enough lists with franchise rankings on the mlb at bat app alone I don't think this would be hard. We have been given the same records. Imagine you break your team season record and they play it on the jumbo tron you surpassed x person for the franchise record in home runs or something.
-
Playoff records basically the same as the one above.
Achievements
-
No hit tracker I remember when the game used to tell you that you acheived your first no hitter or your first perfect game and now it doesn't. Every time somebody gets a no no or perfecto it should tracked on a list in a seperate page with the name date and amount of ks. We currently have something like that with team records but it only displays the number and not the person or date.
-
Keep achievements on the back of the players baseball card. What I mean by this is when you go to the player card imagine you flip it over it shows you your season numbers but also the achievements you achieved and how many times you've done it.
Awards
-
Change the image for the mvp award. It's not even how it's supposed to look like the same can be said about the lcs and world series mvp ward update them ot shouldn't have taken this long to change that ugly looking trophy.
-
Add the platinum glove award. It's been around for a while. Shouldn't be too hard to have in the game.
-
Award ceremony during the off season where they present you your award and you can give a speech.
-
Fix the cy young award glitch. I have seen it in previous games but come on it's still there. Every home game I'm presented with the cy young award. I can win mvp and the triple crown but they give me the stupid cy young every time.
-
Pitchers should be able to win the lcs and world series mvp awards I don't know why they aren't able to.
Player and fan interaction
-
Interview. Give my guy a voice and let me give an interview after the game. Base on the personality I chose earlier on in my player creation that influences how I answers.
-
Change the setting for the playoffs. Interview after every game on at the table and not my locker.
-
Let me hype up the crowd after a big play or a big out something.
-
If I leave a team for money or force my way out if I come back to play aginst them fans should boo me out the stadium. One of the biggest issues for rtts is the fans. They sound lifeless and don't really enhance the experience. The playoff atmosphere should be insane.
Contract and money
-
Sponsorships i don't need to say anything else
-
Make my agent matter more. Maybe the more money I spend from and contracts and I make from my sponsorship I can get a better agent who will be better at contract negotiations and get me better trades.
-
Contracts. No trade clauses, higher deals shorter length not more 31 mil per year cap and opt out options.
Management
-
Influence. Maybe you want to play with a certain player you should be able to go to management and tell them to try and trade for them or sign them in the off season.
-
Request for management to not let certain players go. You want to keep someone tell them to keep em on the team no matter the cost. Tell them you'll take a paycut of necessary.
Team future
-
Pitching teammates barely improve. Their stamina always goes down and never up that definitely needs to change.
-
Player regression happens too quickly. Guys like nolan, trout, story and yelich regress too quickly by the age of 30 or 31.
-
The guys who win rookie of the year fall of the face of the earth they need to be able to build their potential more.
-
Position changes. If they want to take a guy out of the cp role fine he must be doing bad. But in the game it's always randomly that it happens and they replace him with somebody worse. At least change the positions of players if the cpu is gonna moce them out of a role
-
Team jersey retirement. It would be cool if this was added into the game.
-
More hall of famers please. Guys like greinke, Verlander and scherzer will most likely be hall of famers. Not in this game for some reason they never make it which is weird because before they would make it. Be a little more lenient to qualifications on who will make. Have a list too because if a guys doesn't retire with a team there is no way to track it.
This whole list is exactly what we need! We need a complete overhaul of rtts! Please give us back training points! No more of this cap on attributes/ archetype garbage. Make money of your contact matter, on the back of your player card show us our accomplishments! Give pitchers a chance to win WS or LCS MVP awards! More acknowledged stats broken by the announcers. Fix the trading sliders, get rid of the agent entirely because he’s completely useless. And again please bring back training points, the cap on our attributes destroyed this mode for me
-
-
At this point I'd be satisfied with existing features not bugging out. I'm tired of completely losing all training and clubhouse/rivalry options barely 1-2 months into my guy's career.

I agree with some things but not all. I started playing in 2009 when you just played baseball so I am kind of old school. If they are going to have some of the interaction they started with you are correct that our player should have a voice. In the game Grand Theft Auto all the characters have voices so I would think they could do it here. I think you should have a choice for the voice when you create him just like you choose body style, hair style and facial hair. As I mentioned I played the older versions and I prefer the the old point system that you could apply to the attributes you wanted to.
-
-
There should also be ring ceremonies even NBA 2k has that in the game
-
Basic fixes first and foremost:
- do something to vary the draft while still being random (i.e.: i dont want to have to resort to the 'pick a team' option). tired of getting the same team all the time. 2 years ago it was the Orioles. Last year, the Tigers.
- bug fixes. in no particular order:
- baserunners not advacing on what are clearly going to be hits
- pitchers throwing to first without any indication (does this happen to throws to 2nd too?)
- view rotation while shagging flies - as soon as a wall gets involved, theres a real possiblity that the camera view will rotate and seem backwards (its possibly intentional, but if so, it needs to be handled much better - its currenty jarring and an impediment to completing the play)
- do we still have disappearing baserunners in late innings? seems they patched that out
Other than that, fairly happy.
Hoping they don't spend too much time looking at the offline, single player "experience" that is currently happening in NHL 21 for guidance - the be a pro "improvements" are absolutely atrocious and quite pendantic and patronizing. Its almost insulting what they turned that into. That needs to be burned to the ground in a perfect example of how to add negative features to a game.

Stop awarding my player the Cy Young award every game all the way through September!

Thank you it is the most annoying thing ever. I'll win the mvp or throw a no hitter the previous game and they still give me the [censored] cy young. This has been a bug since mlb 17 I believe. This is not a bug that has been in one game. It just goes to show you that they don't really care about rtts anymore.

Double annoying this year as two of my four pitchers won the award.I think I've
solved the problem.I've been running at the upper edge of All Star + for years.Decided to go constant Dynamic Difficulty with all sliders on default this season.Been playing mostly on Legend with 3 forays into the upper edge of Legend +.The differences are interesting between levels. -
Outfield defense is too bored in RTTS since MLB the Show 16 can they bring back MLB the Show 15 second person view in outfield defense ? it is the most realistic. I know it was not perfect and probably they took it out because many players complained. They just have to make it better. I still Play MLB the Show 15 because it is the most realistic version of MLB the Show RTTS. Not only in defense view also when you are hitting running the bases you can see the ball all the time in others version you have to hit a button or won't see the ball.
-
@rnmorton said in What improvements do you want to see in RTTS for MLB The Show 21?:
That's a great question, I would say:
- return of the ball trails from 19, so you can actually distinguish the ball from the infield dirt when you're playing 3B
- also from 2019, show a few more balls traveling down the line, even if they go foul, geez add a little suspense
- better judgment on pitcher relief so the manager doesn't freak out when you're up 2-1 and somebody gets a bloop single on you in the 7th
- allow you to contact your agent when times get really tough
- allow you the option of letting the AI manage your running when you get on-base, I find that difficult and tedious; in the alternative, eliminate the huge lag when changing directions in the baseline.
- add real game accomplishments to Events & Awards, like 4 HRs in one game, Perfect Games and No-Hitters
- cut down on the team personnel turnover that seems to get worse the longer you go into the future, where it seems from one year to the next only one or two daily starters remain
- make available more statistics for your past RTTS seasons - for example, you should be able to access league category leaders and award winners, as well as the World Series results and your team's record, back to 2021
- make it so that the other teams' pitchers don't hit 30 points higher than the other hitters against me
- allow more scoring when the human player gets on base, the AI seems to prefer strikeouts, popups, DPs and an occasional walk once you get on base
- get those guys who waggle their bats out of my pitching meter area!
- leave the hitting info up longer once you leave the box
Regarding number 5, you can do this already. If you go into gameplay settings you can turn off base running or set it to only when you’re the lead runner. Etc

If you have ever played rocket league there is a feature that locks on to ball cam. This could be beneficial when fielding and baserunning.
Batting has showtime feature maybe something to that effect where only use it a few times per game maybe?
-
- Can you Fix when you strike out almost always the catcher through to first that is no realistic.
- When you hit a Home run without runners on base and get to the first base he stop waiting to see if it the ball is going to stay in the park when he should keep running.
- When you strike out the expression he makes to me it doesn't make sense. That expression is only valid if you strike out without swinging and the throw looks like a ball but he makes the same expression always.
- Add the options of third, second and first person view for outfield and infield defense to make the game more realistic and challenging like The Show 15. After The show 15 outfield defense is too boring.
- Add the option to save your player so you don't have to create it again on the new MLB the Show the next year. I know you can continue from the last year but if you to start from the beginning you have to create your player again.
- Add the option to upload a photo to create your player.
- Make MLB the Show for VR
- Add an option to add your last name audio as my is not on the database

Hold L2 and press d-pad direction to send runner to another base on his way to 1st.
-
What would second person view look like?
5 and 6 yes please.
- How would the announcers then say it? Each name is a pre-recorded sound bite.
-
I really hope they allow us to toggle dynamic challenges off this year. I haven’t bought the game since 2019 because of them and I’ve been playing my career since 2014 using yearly save import. Chose to finish the career on RTTS 18, but it’s showing it’s age.
-
@ Red Ted As far as number 3 I'm assuming Yoshiken25 is referring to the look the batter sometimes gives the umpire when he swings and misses on strike 3.It's as if the batter is complaining he got a ball called for a strike.He could still possibly give that look if an earlier strike was called badly because then he would be in swinging mode.But I've seen it when the batter swung at all three strikes.
I suppose the batter could still be angry at a previous at bat but that would be stretching things.
Hopefully I understood your question.If not-never mind.
For number 8-probably not this year but AI keeps improving.Audiobooks are know being read by AI(have no idea what the quality is like).
