Road To The Show Video and Web Summary
-
I fed the new video that just dropped and the Web page on RTTS into Notebook LM to give you all the highlights.
It's been years since I seriously dove into RTTS but I do know that the ability to request trades is something people have been wanting
** Expanded Amateur Years**
- Players now have more control over their journey, starting from high school and progressing through college to the majors.
- The number of college teams has more than doubled to 19 unique schools, each offering different recruiting packages.
- Recruiting packages include benefits such as increased scouting exposure, skill development, equipment, and tokens.
- The college experience now includes the official NCAA Men’s College World Series with full tournament play.
- A player's draft slot is directly impacted by their performance, goals, and a new pro potential rating.
Goal-Setting and the "Road to Cooperstown"
- Goal-setting is central to building a legacy, with achievements factoring into a player's Hall of Fame candidacy.
- Players can choose between short-term or long-term goals, such as specific game stats or season awards like Rookie of the Year.
- The more ambitious the goals selected, the greater the rewards provided to the player.
Professional Career Control
- Once in the majors, players have increased leverage, including the ability to request trades or discuss position changes and moving to DH with coaches.
- Players can work with representatives to plan for free agency.
- New mid-season alerts inform players when they are close to hitting major milestones or winning prestigious awards.
Perks and Mastery Effects
- Perks now have specific requirements to unlock, and a new menu allows players to see exactly how to upgrade them.
- Players can individually select trigger timings for perks, such as the "Heart Attack" perk which boosts exit velocity during late-game rallies.
- New mastery effects provide visual aids, such as ball trails, color-coded pitches (red for fastballs, blue for non-fastballs), and indicators of where a pitch will cross the plate.
Enhanced Career Simulation - A reworked simulation system allows players to skip sections of their career while maintaining performance based on their Overall Rating (OVR).
- Momentum boosts from hitting or pitching streaks provide temporary OVR increases during simulated games.
- The "Re-Entry" feature alerts players during a simulation when big moments or achievements are approaching, allowing them to jump back into the game to play in the clutch.

@Dolenz_PSN I have zero interest in playing RTTS now, but the coach interaction is a good change. Everything else seems pretty minor to me.

Really wish they would add the WBC in RTTS
-
This stuff was more necessary than innovative to be honest. Still will probably touch RTTS maybe once if I'm that bored.

Good summary. Going from the clip they seem to be pretty solid improvements and a good incentive to try out RTTS if not played for a while.
It also mentioned that potential caps at age 25. That may impact on a bunch of things too.
Looking forward to today’s stream.

Looks like with the inclusion of goals, call up is a product of both performance and attributes. Thats how they’re presenting it anyway. It may not yet have been programmed that way. We shall see.

I missed the stream today I think they switched the start time and I was not paying enough attention. More upset about missing the free packs though

they started an hour early because of State of Play
-
the grpahics look like absolute garbage in the RTTS LIVE stream today. When they showed the Florida player gameplay, looks straight out of PS3 era graphics. embarassing.

all this could have just been a $10 DLC on MLBTS 25 instead of $70.

I wonder how many of the bugs that were introduced with college play will be fixed. I’m guessing not many since some of the bugs that started in 15 are still there. I am so tired of everyone striking out when I am on base. I started a new 2 way to do a test recently. Drafted to NYY, eventually got moved up in lineup in front of Judge who was batting .317, made a new save for continuation. Here are my findings from my tests. I started the next game and when I got on base I played as a base runner, the next save I did the “advance to next” option. I alternated one save to another 3 times each for a total of 6 games, each with 100 times on base. I did not count at bats, only my player on base in front of Aaron Judge and his average of .317
Me getting on base and staying in game 100 times with AJ up next
.317–>.229
.317–>.218
.317–>.232
Next 3 restarts I use “play next appearance “ and after 100 times on base in front of AJ..317–>.312
.317–>.329
.317–>.318I don’t know about anybody else here but I like getting on base and keeping the pitchers guessing, is he going to steal or not with 90 plus speed.
