Pitching Perks Not Unlocking
-
Same here: Two-way female character. Batting perks DO get unlocked. (I am mediocre in batting and bat on veteran). Pitching perks don’t get unlocked. Fielding also do NOT get unlocked, but Baserunning ones do (only two so far though). It makes zero sense in terms of achieving interesting feats, as I do much more impressive stuff pitching.
-
Same...I am in my second season about to enter the playoffs and have 1 pitching perk available. I am 99 OVR pitching...I feel like all of the other perks open when your player comes up on that particular situation in game...then the perk opens...so, are we to assume if as pitchers, we do not come upon a game situation then we will never get the corresponding perk? That's what it seems like to me. I also only have 2 running, speed, stealing perks open. Every batting and fielding open, 1 pitching, 2 speed/running perks...we need an explanation as to how this works please.

Still having this same issue for my 2 way player. Would be nice if they at least addressed this in some way.
-
Two way player with the same issue here. Tons of hitting and fielding perks unlocked, but nothing for pitching.
-
I agree it’s buged , I created three two way players and no pitching perks. However, it seems to get a pitching perk per all star major league appearance. I made the all star game twice and got a random pitch perk each time. On one player, I haven’t duplicated on a 2nd two way yet. Takes a lot of time
-
Make sure we are reporting this bug! Seems like an easy fix. Every year there’s always something in RTTS that doesn’t work properly, and they never seem to address it. Kinda frustrating.
-
New here, been looking for a thread that covers this topic everywhere. I unlocked 2 pitching perks in the minors. Maxed out Pulse Pounder. Worked great. Then in got to the majors and it doesn't trigger anymore. Haven't unlocked a single pitching perks since. 2way player. How do we report bugs?
-
There is no lock or unlock on the perks. That's not how it works in MLB 25. You are awarded perks based on game code recognition of your quality of play. When I have been awarded them it was only after I pulled off a great play, either a diving or leaping catch, a critical hit, go ahead RBI, or critical strikeout.
Now, if the issue being reported here is that the perks are not activating when the game situations arise that match the situations when they should activate, then that would be a programming bug.
-
Pitching perks are not unlocking as a two way player! Hitting, fielding and base running are working as intended. This is my current problem.
-
Perks only unlock after the player encounters that situation in game. If the player does not encounter a game situation that the perk would effect...that perk will never be available...that's that.

Pitching, hitting, fielding, and running perks are activating for my two-way player all the time in RTTS. In fact, in a bit over three seasons of play, my avatar player has been awarded nearly all the available perks. So, many times, I'm starting a play with several of them activated.

That's the truth of it, but it seems some people are just being stubborn and unwilling to understand that reality of it.

I've got 2 Cy Young awards and 1 pitching perk for my two way player. Glad it's working for you though.

@randy.sorensen_MLBTS Same for me on my first toon I got 1 Perk on my second I have two so far. Pulse pounder and something else lol, I don't even know... But yeah. Its cool that it's all situational but, based on your player build and performance it may take a long time to see them all. Like base running... especially? If you're not running on your own or getting on base or stealing etc...might not ever see em'
-
I’m having the same issue has mlb made any comments on this?
-
It seems like it should be a pretty easy fix. For as much as they changed up RTTS this year you'd think theyd care enough to at least take the time to fix it. But alas.....
-
@PriorFir4383355_XBL you'd think the people in here who are in their second or third season would have been in enough situations to unlock more than one or two.
And I was getting postseason specific fielding perks during the regular season.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I've obtained every batting perk, missing one fielding and one baserunning, and missing all but one pitching perk after a couple of Cy Young campaigns. I definitely don't think the developers intended for that to happen.

I'm quite confident that all the perks they have been awarded are activating when the situations they are designed for are all present. I think what's driving this is the reality that how the perks work was altered significantly in MLB 25. In return for not having a limited number of perks constantly "on" you instead can have a whole host of perks awarded to you, but they will only activate in select situations.
I think vice understand that change, and go through their awarded perks to understand when they will be active (meaning what situations must all be present), then instead choose to complain about them not working as they did in MLB 24 and earlier titles.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL my closing pitcher in AA in May 2025 has more pitching perks than my starter with 2 Cy Young awards. Maybe it did not happen to you, but I find it extremely hard to believe this is working as intended.
