Well, I understand that complex technical issues definitely can be hard to fix. And to @SGMRock_XBL 's point - sometimes you can't roll back because there are times that what you implemented that first patch for was more important than what was inadvertently broken by that same patch.
Professionally, I manage a large number of complex web systems for hospital system. It's not an understatement to say that I work hard. It's also not an understatement to say that if I make a mistake then people may die. The systems I am responsible for are critical to patient care throughout the hospitals in our organization. I totally understand working a complex issue and doing so under extreme pressure.
That said, I don't feel like it is in any way inappropriate to point out that SDS has well and truly "screwed the pooch" with this release. I'm not sure that I like the design choice of the "universal player" and trying to manage different "loads" depending on what you are trying to do at the moment. But I can't even give it a fair try because it is so badly broken at this time.
Again, SDS has said that "a RTTS player should feel like they can freely progress by playing RTTS and only RTTS" and this is absolutely and categorically untrue as of today, 4/20/2021 - which is the general release date (not early access) for this game. Anyone who has paid full retail price for this game, especially those who bought the game principally for the RTTS mode, has every right to be upset with SDS for the quality of this title at release.
I think the universal player feature is awesome... If it worked like it should. Alot of people said to delete all but one loadout and back out to clubhouse after every game to reset it. It worked at first but now I've notice that when I change to a pitching loadout just before starting a game I'm scheduled to pitch my team changes the lineup and I'm either DH or SS. So I have to close game and open again. Thankfully PS5 has fast load times
Agree about progression system. When it does get fixed i have no issues with starting RTTS completely over.

I also want to point out that, once again, the DD community market is getting an update as we speak. Can't buy and sell on the community market? OMG that is a fix that needs to happen pronto! Can't make any progress at all in one of the major game modes rendering it unplayable? Eh, we will get around to it in some future update or something.
Majority of people who buy this game play RTTS that is facts produced by various outlets over the years. So this misconception that they pay more attention to DD is proposturus. As far as the market goes that is real money and it should be a top priority as well.
Is it not obvious that DD is their bread and butter in terms of money making? why else do most of the promotional materials and marketing refer to mostly DD in some way. As well as all of the ore order bonuses are all related to DD. Youre right that most people play RTTS and MLB the show kind of pioneered the create your player experience way back in the day but we are a long way off from that.

The $100 bills they received from every copy sold is real money as well. I understand that they should fix transactions first but don't downplay one person's money over another's. From what I understand that has been or is at the very least close to being resolved. And I'm sure that doesn't take all hand on deck to accomplish.

They obviously pay more attention to DD. Every single patch that has come out so far has been geared towards DD. Every year the mode with the most attention is DD. I get that those issues need fixing too. But "I can't buy or sell things on the community market" should take a backseat to "I can't play RTTS because my progress does not count."

maybe thats what SHOULD happen but it wont. bc DD is where they make their money and the market is vital to that. Also says a lot that the only thing that either collin or victor have commented on here recently is the market issue

With all due respect that is why my post said "top priority as well." in hopes the implication would be perceived as an inclusion of the folks that don't play DD.

I understand both sides of this as I've also dropped $300 on stubs. I however had no issues with my transactions thankfully. I guess my biggest issue and I assume most will agree, is we spent $100 on a game that we knew for a fact we would be spending the majority of our time playing RTTS and now we are relegated to playing Moments until "a future update" because in all honesty my stick skills don't hold up in online mode. Get good, I know. And the fact we've all been waiting for SDS to acknowledge the progression,task and perk/loadout issues in RTTS all weekend when they finally do they chased a ball in the dirt. Pun intended.

That's what my post meant that RTTS player progression fix are a top priority as well as DD money issues.

Had all 3 of my RTTS files reverted to “Joe Random” and lost attributes. Load out doesn’t bring me back to correct overall. Anyone else have this problem?

Did you link your Xbox account to the Show account be chance. If so unlink it. Saw something on Twitter about that.

@collin_sds_psn said in RTTS Feedback Blog Post:
Updated the thread to point to the blog post.
We appreciate your guys feedback, any timeline for this future update?
I really think once everything is fixed this has the potential of being the best RTTS to date, but as of right now it's unplayable as progression doesn't work as intended at all so curious if you guys have any idea how long it will take to fix.

Also my equipment stats don’t carry over to the field. Plus I can’t customize my equipment. For instance I’ll change my batting gloves to both hands and save. Then when I’m up to bat it always goes back to one hand..
I've had a similar issue with cleats. When I equip new balance it shows addidas in the menu, but when in game it shows generic cleats.

Exactly the the appearance needs to be saved with each loadout. I have this issue too.

@caneyjase_psn said in RTTS Feedback Blog Post:
This all sounds great to me. Hopefully the future update fixing the bugs with progression isn't too far out.
Agreed. There needs to be a update soon and not dragged out.

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.

How can you add a 4th or 5th pitch or is that broken until they fix the update issues with RTTS?
-
Also, and this a really low on the totem pole gripe, but why even let us play catcher if we can't call pitches? The main job of the catcher is to manage the pitcher and catch the ball. The best catchers in the game are known for their pitch calling and fielding ability. In RTTS a catcher does three things defensively: field bunts right at the plate, field popouts right at the plate, and throw out runners. That is ignoring 99% of what a catcher actually does. The only way to do what a real catcher does is to hit the watch game button, but even then it doesn't give you credit for putouts. If I have my catcher fielding opportunities set to all I should be able to : call the entire game, field popouts, field bunts, throw out runners, tag guys at the plate, and bat while simulating my teammate's at bats like every other position. There is absolutely no reason to play catcher currently because it is just gutted. This has been an issue going back as far as I can remember and should be addressed.

Just by chance are you guys activating loadout on the right side for each loadout? Or are you just adding it?

Main issues in Road to the Show are:
- Loadouts not properly loading during gameplay as well as appearance not reflecting each loadout.
- The training points pop up screen keeps showing the same skills you can boost. I still haven't seen a skill boost for power yet.
- Overalls have slow progression. I played 2 seasons and still stuck at a 60 overall.
- A blue circle arrow icon around our RTTS player randomly pops up in gameplay which is weird.
- Ya'll never fully explained how the perks work. How do we change our main perk for the loadouts to a silver, gold, or diamond.
- Baserunning needs to be fixed as well. When our RTTS player runs to first base there's a slight lag running to first base on chopped hits that should result in being safe on first.
I paid $100 for early access and I only play Road to the Show. The issues are still present even after launch day which is unacceptable. I been playing MLB The Show since The Show '14 on the PS4. If this was Diamond Dynasty a update would be released immediately. And to be quite honest it seems like the DD players are the only ones enjoying the game meanwhile RTTS users have to wait for a update to fully enjoy our mode. I wish ya'll actually took time and tested these modes thoroughly before releasing it.
