Road to the Show thoughts (for next years game)
-
I’ll start with saying I love playing RTTS. I have been for years, since I’ve been playing on PS3 as a kid. That being said I really miss the old days of RTTS. If I wanted to create my player as a speedy high contact skilled defensive player, let me do that. If I want high contact and 50 power, let me set my stats to that. Having this preset choosing three options doesn’t feel right. I personally want to create my own Ricky Henderson/ Kenny Lofton. I technically can’t because two of the three option’s include high power. Just please let us have back the option of setting which stats we want again.
Next thought is please get rid of having boosts on items like bat, cleats, arm pads etc. I get you want us to “pay stubs” for these things. So why not if I want my player to wear all Nike, I can choose that? Pay for the item itself. I don’t want to have my player wearing an arm sleeve, but it helps my RTTS guys arm stats. It stinks that if I want my player to be good I have to wear these items. I just want to throw on some air Jordan cleats and speed around the bases. Instead to try and get my guy and semblance of speed I need to wear high socks (especially socks that don’t match any of the jerseys) and put on Adidas cleats because they have the highest speed and steal attributes.
Speaking of stealing, are we ever going to adapt the new pickoff rules? I’m tired of taking a lead and getting thrown over 4 times between pitches. Sometimes the CPU tries to pick me off before the animation for the original lead is even finished!! That’s gotta get fixed because it slows the game down so much.
Going back to the “stubs” thing, why can’t we get more stubs for playing games in RTTS? In NBA 2k you at least get VC equivalent to your current in game contract. If I’m in year 7 making 20 million a year I should be getting more than 5 stubs a game.
Sorry these next couple bleed into Diamond Dynasty, but why can’t our current RTTS player be playable in DD? Why can’t we get a card from each season that we complete in RTTS of said player. Give a future stars version of the player (like it currently is at 65), give one each year as your attributes progress. I’d love to play diamond dynasty with my RTTS player at my current overall.
I don’t feel like these requests are too overzealous and could be easy fixes to the current game itself now. If any of the devs are reading this far I thank you but please, let us the player have more control of our player. Thank you -

Create a player in Franchise and lock the game to player. All stats as you want, on the team you want, no equipment to hassle with. These players would be OP and not suitable for DD.
Second, this new format was made so you could use your RTTS player in DD without making it OP. You'll find the card as a 65 ovr under whatever your players position. It might not say your true stats when looking at the card, but they will appear in game correctly, even with equipment boosts.
Hope this helps

They need to revert to the old way of allocating points, or at least give us the option too. They also need to make sure the mode works, like pitch count being properly counted/adjusted for quick counts, secondary positions meaning something again, pitcher attributes actually progressing, contract money actually meaning something, different locker room/background options, WBC being included, there’s so much that can be done, just comes down to whether they want to or not. Basically if it can’t be tied into DD, don’t hold your breath.
