RTTS Players in DD
-
Just want to chime in that adding RTTS players into DD is what eventually ruined RTTS. The archetypes, load outs, capping ratings and deciding how you can develop your player is what turned a lot of people off with that mode. It finally became decent again in 25.
Quite frankly, ruining RTTS for casual players to play with their friends with their CAPs doesn’t sound like something they would do or have any incentive to do.
-
Not being able to use a CAP in a casual game, where stats dont matter, is whats gonna cause you to quit the game for good? Seriously?
-
@genopolanco_PSN There’s no reason CAP’s in their current form shouldn’t be in DD.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN No, it is not a reason to quit a game for good. I am not saying we are going to deliberately boycott MLB the Show 26 because RTTS characters are not in DD. However, we are playing multiple other co-op games right now that take up our time. There is just no incentive to rush out and get The Show 26 if it lacks a feature that we used to love. We will just stick to our current games. It is a question of priorities and the enjoyment we get out of games.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I don’t care. DD isn’t fun for me anymore. I just don’t want them to ruin RTTS because of it.
-
@genopolanco_PSN I despise this mindset that we can’t have one without the other. We can have both and both can work.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I’ll believe it when I see it. SDS hasn’t shown that in the past.
-
@genopolanco_PSN Oh, it’s not gonna happen. I’m just saying that both could exist without ruining the other. It infuriates me that they just removed it instead of fixing the problems with it.
-
I think a big reason they removed it was it saved people stubs from having to buy another player in DD. You’d get an OP player for free at any position you want. Every year they have been less and less giving.
-
There are several things that using the "Ballplayer" in both RTTS and DD made worse.
- It severely restricted the freedom in RTTS for those who only play RTTS
- People hurt the DD experience by making submarine pitchers who were impossible to hit.
- People made the ugliest, most unathletic player models they could which everybody they played were forced to look at
-
@genopolanco_PSN Yes, but getting that player to the point of being a top card is a massive grind. Also, using these players doesn’t help TA progress.

It didn’t need to restrict the freedom within RTTS
Simply disallow those windups, or limit the possible velocity from those arm angles.
Boo hoo. You don’t like people’s players appearance. This is a worthless argument to me.
Fix the problems. Don’t just take it out altogether. That’s just lazy.

I may be misremembering, wasnt there a way to bypass the grind and max players in a few days? Didnt SDS implement the xp cap after a few weeks?
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN Yes, but that wasn’t the case in RTTS last year. Maybe with the new talk of advanced simulating, that comes back. Again, there’s always a fix. Make characters advanced by simulating ineligible for DD.
Maybe when you create your player, you choose eligible or ineligible for DD. If you choose eligible, you cannot get tokens from simulating.
-
Having ballplayers in DD was a terrible idea, is a terrible idea, and forever will be a terrible idea
-
@TheRupster12_XBL Why?
-
@GoozeFn_PSN
Because its easy to abuse, takes away freedom from RTTS players, is incredibly annoying, and all the other reasons everyone already mentioned. We already had this in 22 and it failed. -
@TheRupster12_XBL Like you just said in another thread, why remove it and ruin other peoples fun just because you don’t like it? Most of the issues mentioned are minor and all of them can be fixed.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN
Because this issue affects other people, and offline modes only affect you -
@TheRupster12_XBL What issue affects you that isn’t fixable?
