Well you guys ruined the mode that I started playing MLB The Show for.
-
There use to be this game I loved to play called The Show, I don't know what this game they put out now is...
-
We don't want the mode to be connected to DD. People in DD will never use the " Ballplayer " anyway. We can only make one player which can get stale very fast. The loadouts aren't very fun just let us progress our player as we play. What is so bad about gaining attributes by playing RTTS? Forced to be online to play is also a baffling decision so when the servers go off in 2 years the mode will be completely unplayable if you go to revisit the game or keep playing it. Also can't play when your servers go out or when our internet goes out. The progression system isn't very good when it works which it doesn't most of the time unfortunately. You are forced to play DD to progress your player currently because that is the only way the " programs " will track missions and stats. Also every time you go into loadouts it glitches out your gear and you have to switch everything back. Like it will give you just one batting glove put the foot guard back on forced sunglasses on always instead of when just fielding and much more including swing types when you have a built stance it can be very frustrating to have to fix it just because you went to the loadout screen to check " programs " progress. So please SDS just make RTTS like you used to for next years game. We want to be able to make multiple characters, not be connected to DD, and just gain attributes from playing not this " perk/architype " system.

I miss the good ole days, when the server would go down. But you really didn't care because you could still play and increase your attributes for RTTS.
-
I just want to be able to add a 4th pitch to my repertoire.

You keep saying that but obviously have no idea how many people did use the Create a Player option last year. If they want to do that this year Ballplayer is their only option. So people will use it.
And I am not defending the mode in it's current state. I wish we could actually go back 5 or 6 years when you simply earned training points and could put them in any stat we wanted.

More people play RTTS than DD. They just wanted to try and drag us into that cash cow mode by connecting the 2. Not enough people use the CAP in DD to warrant connecting them. -
I am not disagreeing with you. I wish they were not connected. Hell, I started a thread stating that I was concerned about the future of RTTS before the game was even released (back in March). Granted fewer players used Create a Player in DD than there were RTTS players but to say nobody will use the feature is just factually incorrect.

I literally bought a PlayStation about 7 years ago literally just for this game and since then I have bought every years copy of this game for the rtts mode this will more then likely be the last year I buy this game unless something drastic happens for all the reasons listed above in this post.
Im trying to like it but with having to deal with the servers constantly going down its hard to even get gear for my character in a mode I don't even want to play. -

Have owned every version of this game - it is basically the only reason I have ever owned a Playstation. I spent about 8 hours playing RTTS on Tuesday, so excited...and then so let down.
I have never even loaded Diamond Dynasty and never will. RTTS is the only feature that has ever appealed to me, and now I don't even want to play it. Slow progression is one thing, extremely limited potential is another. I used to love getting my guys up to all 99s and hitting .357 with 40/40. If I wanted a player who bats .247 with 6 HR and 12 steals I could sim a season on OOTP.
Plus, two months into my AA career, I am leading the team in batting and RBI and 2nd in batting...but have only played in 13 of 25 games because my rating is 59, lowest on team. This is even more discouraging when I see posts from others who are farther ahead and have seen a bug where they get their position switched, but the secondary position defaults to P so they get immediately pulled from a game because they are out of position.
Talk about overreacting to one 2 way player.
There is literally no reason for me to turn this game back on until an actual fix is released. It sucks.

One 2 way player who has not even done it for a full season and has not even been great at the pitching part.

Try franchise with player lock, you can start out as a 99 beast or languish in the minors as long as you like. You also can start out with 5 pitches and a knuckleball.

I have a better idea lets go back and play last years RTTS instead

What's the point of having sliders if your CAP can't get XP if you move them? Just one of the many many many stupid things.

Better if you enjoy a year old roster/schedule and archetype restrictions.
No thanks

I hate it so much. I have been using the same player since 15. Im a casual player I play through maybe a season and a half per year. Not being able to transfer my save from 20 like all previous versions is dumb.

I've been playing video games my entire life and I've gotten pretty good at them. I can't understand what the intention is of having a game where we can't just cheerfully blast away against the AI. I have all of the easiest settings on on the easiest difficulty and I still struggle to do even basic things. Sometimes we just want a game where we can play for our favorite team and be a hero. Getting tied into player vs player balance, stat caps, precision aim and timing, I just don't understand. Not everyone wants realism. If they do, more power to them, they seem to have plenty of modes for that. Where's the mode for people who want to have fun?
I can't imagine what this game would be like to an older guy who just wants to play a video game about baseball and doesn't play games often.

I always loved building my CAP. My son did as well. We also spent so many stubs on equipment and grinding the heck out of it to be a great player. After reading that 50 is the max per attribute, my CAP will suck compared to regular cards within about a month when everyone has Diamond level players. So SDS... You just cost yourself big time since I do not even have to worry about buying equipment. RTTS always felt lame to me, but I used my CAP in DD and had fun with it. SO NOW I'LL SKIP IT. Nice work.

Honestly this is so disappointing, RTTS is my number one reason I play this. I was two seasons away on MLB 20 from retiring. Come to find out it doesn’t transfer... LAME. Now, starting this year, I’ve already played half of my AA year and everything is nerfed. My contact has moved 4 attribute points from 30 to 34. What the heck SDS! I’m hitting .350+ and yet 80% of my hits are bleeders or bloopers over infielders heads or down the line. It’s nearly impossible to square one up and send it out. I still HAVEN’T hit a home run regardless of what perks I use on the ballplayer loadout. The mode is just super disappointing this year because of the such slow progression. Why couldn’t they just keep doing what was WORKING??? SDS please, go back to the RTTS we all loved.
Wait, does this mean I can't actually transfer my 20 character into 21?
