    Is there any way to create a utility player that can play all over the field? I’ve already declined being a pitcher. I know being forced to play your secondary position is a thing that almost always happens. But, is there a way that you can become a utility player that plays in different spots every game just to spice things up?

    Unfortunately, no.

    My opinion, DD content has expanded and is a great game. On the flip side, they have murdered RTTS. The mode already had little story and player control… and they made it worse. I also want to be a utility player a la Whit Merrifield.

    Yeah in 19, I used to play like 4 positions. Was fun. Now you are stuck at one . Not realistic at all. It all got butchered from 2way player

    For sure!! In earlier editions of the game I would put points towards my player and cap myself around the “just good enough for majors, too good for the minors” realm. I would also list my secondary position as INF. This generally gave me a career as a utility infield bench player. I would get around 300 ABs a year and play all four infield positions. Sometimes only used as a pinch hitter or pinch runner. Sometimes as a defensive replacement. Kept the game interesting not knowing what your role would be from game to game. Seasons would fly by as you were involved in maybe 40% of the games. You could easily finish an entire career by the next year’s edition.

    Can you imagine SDS ever creating the Utility Bench Player archetype?! 😂
    I would love it if they did!
