What do you want in RTTS 20
-
The dozens of bugs fixed that’s all I want
-
I would like something to do with my contract money.
Sure, I get offered 8 years at $280+million, but why take it? You're just ducking that team out of beaing able to sign other players.
You get nothing for your contract money.
So how about a system of in game contract dollars to stubs to buy equipment/cards to use in RTTS?
Maybe a ratio of 1:10,000 you'd get 1 stub for every $10k in contract money.

Forgot I posted some thoughts about RTTS progression a few weeks ago.

Would appreciate some feedback. I know it’s a long read but hopefully interesting.

Has anybody noticed the disconnect between the crowd noise and whats going on in the game. In any game in the real world fans react to what's happening on the field. The other day I hit a home run and the crowd reacted like I was on the visiting team. That crowd needs to get into the game. The other thing that's been going on for years is when you walk up to the plate the crowd isn't looking at you ,it looks like there looking out to right field, can we fix these things.

A lot of great suggestion/ideas in this thread.
My main hope for improvements for the next show would be:
- A trophy room and a place to store/view highlights (first hit, first homerun, 500th homerun etc)
- An easier way to create highlights after a game (Just pick from a few different view like broadcast, On the field etc and the save)
- More stories for after you make it to the Majors (Pennant race, overall team performance and interactions with other players)
- Make a big deal out of milestone accomplishments before, after and during the accomplishment (like 3000th hit)
- Hall of fame cut up reel of some of your biggest moments.

It's end of June and real baseball is still a few weeks away (we hope) so maybe these could apply towards The Show 21. Anyway, I agree with pogibana about a more RPG approach to RTTS. Also, we do need an agent that can influence things. They did a nice job letting you choose the organization you want to play for as a last result, but they should also let you specify AL or NL if you just want to experience the draft. Finally, the agent should have an ability to get you off a team. Since the MLBPA had to sign off on this, Sony should at least pay attention to contract rules. If a player chooses not to sign with draft team, it is a rule that the same team CAN NOT draft player the following year
Preparing for an extra year should solve this. It doesn't. I got drafted by Detroit Tigers 4 consecutive drafts with same room. WTF? Also, preparing an additional year DOES NOT improve your abilities
Once you have an A rating, preparing an extra year does absolutely nothing. I've rambled for too long, sorry. -

In short I don't want this game mode to feel so stale. with a lack of story in this game mode and having to play 7 seasons before getting a contract it's so easy to get burned out. If i could list 5 things I would want to see next year here's what I'd want.
-
Develop a story, It's pointless to have a narrator when there's hardly any plot. the most excitement is at the beginning of your career when you are trying to make it to the big leagues. The excitement is still usually there during your rookie year but quickly disappears soon after. Give us multiple story lines that activate when something significant happens. If I get injuried make me work to get back onto the field, have me go through a rehab assignment and let me play a couple of games back in the minors before making my return. If I'm a superstar athlete, I want some commentary about how my injury could affect my club. Also, give me a story line if I'm in a contract year. I want scouts from other clubs in the seats evaluating me as I play, set up meetings in the off season with other clubs. Make my decision of where I want to play matter.
-
better cut scenes and making milestones matter. This goes hand in hand with the story telling but I want to actually feel like I did something significant when I reach a milestone. For example I play on HOF difficulty and I hit 66 home runs in my second year with the cubs. Despite me matching Sammy Sosa's single season home run record for the club (The Cubs) there was no mention of that at all. If I pull off a great task like that make it feel significant, Commentary about it, cut scenes, do a post game interview. Just do something to make it feel like a milestone. I also became the first player with a 60/60 season (Shout out to equipment.)
-
Make contracts matter. There's really no incentive to reach free agency and try to earn the big contract because there's no upside to it other than what career earnings say. An idea I've always had which I saw someone else mention was having a contract money turn into stubs. Factor in your career numbers, awards, and how much you sign for. Also, factor in what difficulty you are playing on. For example if you play 75% of your games on all star difficulty and earn a 300 Million dollar contract make that worth like 100,000 stubs and playing 75% of your games on HOF difficulty and earning a 300 million dollar contract be worth like 250,000 stubs. If you are like me and like to play all of your games, then you knows it's a grind. You should be rewarded for the grind. (Obviously to eran these rewards too you can't mess with sliders.) You could also recieve "bonuses" for doing things like breaking records, making all star games, and winning awards too.
-
Better Trade logic. I don't get it sometimes. We'll be in the thick of a pennant race and the GM will trade away a impact player for prospects or players of less value. I'd also like it if trade logic factored me into it as well if that makes any sense. for example I'm a superstar player in my contract year on a last place team. I would like it if I could be traded given those circumstances.
-
Going back to contracts, please give me a option for a no trade clause for specific teams.
-
Let me play out a "season" of high school ball. Doesn't have to be a full season or anything crazy but let me play 3 or so games at the high school level and have that impact my draft status. I'm getting tired of the same old combine we do every year.

@BIGDADDYV26 said in What do you want in RTTS 20:
I would love for it to be more RPGish. You want want the player to feel the way the pros do. I would love more media questions, decision making, if you win and MVP in the game will acknowledge Especially multipleMVPs. Have a special area that is like a home where you can keep you annual awards. Almost like NCAA football back in the day. Put more then a twitter feed. Add news outlets with pictures and up to date stories of your team and achievements Throughout the year and your career. Add more storylines, its a long season and can be a very long career. I also feel like you should be able to get a hold of your agent. Not just him giving you a call once or twice a year to chek up. People want to feel like they are in the game living the MLB experience.
Yep. No disrespect to the developers. But this mode is lazy. Look at the social feed. It's a basic as it gets. Interviews. Same thing. Generic cut screne, very basic questions with no effect on anything. The agent. Again, pointless. His checking up on you does nothing. The scout pro day. I'm not kidding. I was drafted by the same team 5 times in a row. Regardless if I did bad or did great. Same team. . I've done multiple positions and had similar results. But this has zero meaning on anything either. Only thing that changed was the round I was drafted
This mode got a "overhaul" in what 2018? Yet 2019, 2020.. exact same game mode. Couple pointless small changes. Yet we see DD getting upgrades, new cards, new challenges etc throughout the entire year. Do we need to pull the twitter route and throw up a #MLBdropSDS tag just to get [censored] fixed?
