Why would you want to spend extra time in the minor leagues? It's [censored] boring as hell
Realism? Rushing to the majors with no seasoning isn't a realistic mode. That's why I'd love to see a slider for how long it takes so people that just want to mash in the majors can do that and so can people that want to have a realistic approach to RTTS. Shouldn;t be that hard to impliment
Realism? The mode features MLB broadcasters, fake stadiums, fake players up until this year.. I get what you are saying. But man the minors is such a grind anymore. Literally nothing has changed in years. I get burnt out to quick. For the past 5 years or so, I've done at least 5 seasons in the MLB before moving on.MLB the Show 19..I never even made it out of the minors. After about the first month of the second season, I just quit. Couldn't take the dull repetitiveness anymore.
Sliders are def a must. Why they haven't been included to this point is beyond me.

Being in the majors is no different, RTTS is very stale either way. It's baseball, not much is going to change

Sadly you are right. And this is the thing I hate most about the mode. There is no real difference between the two. It feels and plays the same. There is no character building outside your rating. This mode just seems to get worse every year.
I've always been more of a franchise guy. But the fact that mode has seen zero updates as of late. I've been playing RTTS more. And I've enjoyed it for the most part. But it's just become so dull and lifeless.

Problem is there are a whole lot of RTTS players who don't want to toil in the minors for 4 or 5 seasons. If you are one who plays out every at bat and fielding opportunity then that is a major time sink.
Nobody is saying 4 to 5 years in the minors but getting called up from AA to MLB in like 2 months is not realistic either. It used to be you would play one year in AA and one year in AAA then go to majoors but like everything else in this game promotions are a mess now.

If you're getting called up that quick, I suggest rising the difficulty level. My guy is batting like .340 and leads the team in RBI's and I'm in my 2nd month of triple AAA. With one full season under my belt in AA.
Maybe one time in recent years I got called up from AA straight to MLB about half way through the season.

Now that there are real MiLB players, I wouldn't mind spending 2 seasons in the minors. It's a lot cooler to be on a MiLB team with Nick Madrigal and Michael Kopech and Micker Adolfo and Andrew Vaughn than it is with Steve Fakename and Jack Alias or whatever. And it'll be even cooler if you get up to the big leagues and those same guys are waiting for you.
The only change I would really like is for your first couple years in the minors to be years XXXX rather than 2020 and 2021. This year, by the time I got called up to the big leagues, the game had already generated trades of Tim Anderson and Jose Abreu. So it took me almost 2 seasons, and then I get up there and the roster doesn't look like the White Sox roster I know. It'd be much cooler if your first year in the big leagues is 2020 and it comes with the 2020 roster, regardless of how many seasons you have to grind through in order to get there.

It’s not called MLB the minor leagues. Most players don’t want to slog it out indefinitely. There’s a lot of problems with this mode (and game) but I don’t think getting to the show too soon is one of them.
For the record my rtts pitcher this year is a 70 OVR at AA.

I don't think it's unrealistic at all, especially if you look at the history of the game.
You may want to linger in the minor leagues, but I'm pretty sure most of the actual players don't, and neither do I.
