Game Update 3 Thread

Gone from 61.3 (thereabouts - looking at the circle thing) to about 61.7 in an entire afternoon and evening's play. (100 plus games. All of them played - Zero simulated)
Gone from May to season end 2022 and gained about 0.4 of a point of overall.
Hitting at well over 400. Very close to 100% fielding (only one error I can remember) stealing bases, skill ups between series whenever they are offered. Got one piece of equipment that is inferior to the pieces I already have.
My XP (even though it is supposedly DOUBLE XP) has taken me from halfway through level 12 to halfway through level 13
Not getting anything meaningful in the way of rewards, not getting any meaningful advancement in XP, not getting any meaningful gains in skills.Not sure why I'm bothering to play to be honest.
Is it because I need to start again with a fresh "save" made after the patch dropped?
Because this is seriously seriously dull
(Played every MLB the Show since PS2 including PS Vita iterations so I know what this is normally like to the tune of many thousands of hours play time)This game is messed up beyond belief,
It's so slow it feels like I'm imagining progression.
If RTTS isn't broken. It's doing a very good job of feeling like it's broken -
My ballplayer card references C, SP, and SS and makes zero sense.
Hey Colin - Why ignore all questions about RTTS and Ballplayer issues? Just keep ignoring and not responding like it does not exist?In RTTS, my ballplayer is continually assigned as a Catcher in the lineup. Good. When my agent calls, he asks if I am OK with being a Catcher. I answer Yes. Still good.
When you exit RTTS and select the main Ballplayer loadout screen, it shows him with his 82 rating and a small circle that says SS. SS?? Then if you click the card to see more detail, it shows he's a catcher again as primary position, but SP as secondary. WTF? Why does it even mention SS?
If I move over to DD, the dude is no longer an 82, he's a base bronze 65! And in this one, he is a SS and C at secondary.
What is up with this?? Why would SDS make you do all this? You need to call the CIA to figure this mystery out. Sometimes, the ballplayer is an 82 gold, Diamond archetype (Mago), base screen shows a 78 SS, additional detail shows Catcher and SP as secondary, and DD does show SS primary.
Has anyone figured out how to get this thing as a high level Catcher in DD? I am doing this BS RTTS just to get my player bumped higher. Why would then even make it this hard to get the position right??????
I am an adult and a long time vet of this game. I cannot figure this out. SDS pretends there is no issue. Won't even say "We are looking into it". If adults and vets can't figure this out, you think kids will? No, they will probably give up and go play COD. Nice job, SDS!!!
-
Yeah. Also when I go to DD (which I feel compelled to do because apparently the game might just let me advance if I do)
It tells me my player is a 2B and that I'm playing "out of position" when I play CF
My player is CF - always has been CF. SO why when I transfer him to DD is he suddenly 2B? Where the hell did that come from?
Everything feels so [censored] janky. Like it was programmed by someone late Friday afternoon - left in the office "Join us at the bar when you've finished coding the game logic Dave"
And of course Dave wants to get down the bar... real quick
Just re-release MLB The Show 20 with a new cover star, current rosters and a stadium builder for next gen consoles and call it good. It's got to be better than whatever the %^&& this hot mess is -
I've had 0, in words zero disconnects last two days of playing. This looks good and I can finally again enjoy The Show

Same here. No disconnects.
In a way I wish I had been disconnected though. Then I wouldn't have wasted an afternoon treading water.
Moving my overall skill meter up about 0.4 of a level in 100 games played. Not earning enough XP to advance 1 whole level (despite this still being double XP time)
Earning 1 piece of wearable equipment - inferior to what I already had (plus a load of player cards, stadiums and outfits for game modes I don't actually play)Will the devs answer two simple questions;
Why when I go to DD from RTTS am I suddenly a 2B? It says I'm playing out of position at CF. My player is a CF, has always been a CF in '21. I play RTTS at CF and only CF - yet when I go to DD - I'm a 2B. I haven't created a 2B player since The Show 2017.
Do I need to start again? Is this lack of progress and player type mis-match happening because whatever bugs there were are locked into my character now? Is it picking up saves from previous versions (I have 15,16,17,19,20 and 21 all installed on my PS4 Pro at the moment - all with saves)

Read it all in the link. Post about it here.
So there’s still the issue of losing archetype progress when your servers disconnect. There needs to be some kind of either offline archetype progression or you guys need to figure out how to restore my progress when your servers fail.

@swingingdix31_mlbts said in Game Update 3 Thread:
Anyone else not having proper progression in RTTS? My loadouts keep getting reset and my OVR keeps going back down. Last years RTTS was way better than this in my opinion. I hate the load out idea - it’s not call of duty. Way more catered for online gameplay and not the casual player.
i Swear man i try to pay attention to it but have a good time and feel like ive been cheated out some hours hopefully not though
-
Still not fixed updated did daily momment no issue played 1 conquest game and won. no exp, no affinity progression, no card upgrade progression, network connection error. I had some server errors before but I didn't seem to lose my exp or upgrades the more updates the more I lose.

I just had a disconnect 20 minutes ago, up 5-0 in the game. Very disappointed to say the least, they still have a lot to fix unfortunately.

RTTS Archetype progress still not tracking. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yep, it's a loadout swapping issue it seems. I'm now getting progress if I happen to already have the loadout I need active before I start next game, however if I start next game and find I need to switch my loadout I'm not getting any progress on it after I select to swap to it.
-
Dang, im not getting progress tracking period.

Okay so i just unlocked the silver archetype, but i cant equip it now. Its not showing up

@stoleyogurl69_psn said in Game Update 3 Thread:

Haven't had that issue but a similar issue where one of my perks I have equipped on one archetype will disappear/not let me equip it in another archetype.
For instance if I have a gold archetype with diamond power, contact and fielding perks equipped. If I switch to a silver archetype (which only allows 2 perks) it auto equips power and contact but the diamond fielding perk is missing if I go to switch it out. Not sure if this was fixed yesterday.
I did finally get some archetype progress counted in RTTS. I was a SS both in DD and RTTS which sounds like it may be a requirement for some ppl to count progress (having same position in both) but I can't confirm that. -
Just finished March to October, won the World Series and nothing was earned towards Team Affinity LOL this is lame.

I have had team affinity and plenty of xp not count. I just bought a boss off the market in case I don’t make it. I could have bought something else I wanted.

Sounds like user error in ballplayer menu. And i'm not saying that in a mean way, i'm saying it literally sounds like you are missing a step somewhere. My player transfer has been seamless.
I'd really like to help if you would like to list the steps you take?

I want my Mike Trout back!!!

My game now crashes everytime I try to play Rtts...I already lost my franchise because of an auto save bug. I'm sick of starting over.
-
Log in.... my RTTS player has an overall of 68 (Woot - up 5 from yesterday somehow)
Go to pre-match screen.... Nope. Same player - same loadout and archetypes - I'm now back to 63.
I was 63 when I started a marathon game session yesterday. Playing each of over 100 games.
I was 63 at the end of it. Despite hitting at over 400 and being darn good in defence..
I'm also still a 2B when I go to Diamond Dynasty. My player is not 2B - not even as a secondary position. Now it says I'm out of position at CF(which is what my player is) because (apparently - according to the games messed up view of what's going on) I'm a 2B
What the flying !!!
