RTTS Player Position Changed by Manager - Blocking Promotion to Majors

Same here.

This entire thread illuminates to me just how poorly SDS really thought through the ramifications of the universal player/archetype/program system with forced two-way player hard coded which they have implemented this year. I said in a different post (https://forums.theshow.com/topic/30991/a-path-forward-how-sds-could-fix-this-mess) that one of the things SDS needs to do is give players back control over what their secondary positions are.
I see that everyone else posting on this thread is showing Xbox accounts. Just in case you all are brand new to this title - forced position changes (especially for younger players) have been a part of RTTS for a long, long time. In some year's versions you could fight it and refuse the new position and get benched until eventually you caved. In other year's versions you could fight it and the manager would just change your position anyway. Which is why in previous versions experienced players would select as a secondary position one which they also would be interested in and their build type be appropriate for - something which unfortunately we can no longer do.
With regards @Groux_XBL - is the archetype you were using at the time of the trade one which is appropriate to RF but not to 1B? I'm wondering because theoretically if the archetype determines what positions you are eligible for, then the manager should have only changed you to one of those.
In any case, sounds like a really nasty bug. Sorry you guys are experiencing this. I would recommend going back and playing a previous version of the game (which is what I'm doing for the forseeable future) but given that you are Xbox users guess you really don't have that option.

Yeah Moose I honestly don't care about changing position. I just want to not get pulled right away lol. Basically rtts is unplayable right now. My archetype is sparkplug so it works for 3rd too, one of the first things I checked and tried putting other on to no avail. Thanks for the insight. I figured at some point they would ask me to switch as my team has a good 2nd player.

It isn't just Xbox users having the issue, there are some PS players on Reddit with it as well. I'm fine with changing positions, but the bug was that I was traded out of my position to a team that already had that position filled.
It is very weird, because when I view the archetype outside of Road to the show, I show up as a first baseman. When I am in the locker room, in RTTS I am labeled RF. Then when I load into a game, I am a 1B in the lineup. So, it is all over the place.

Yeah, I don't care either. I literally only want to get called to the majors for the achievement. Once I get called to the majors, I'm done with RTTS - outside of when I need to play to complete quests.
I read on True Achievements that the fastest way to the majors is to play LF for the Orioles, or SP for the Pirates, so I may just reroll and get it over with... because it doesn't seem like SSD is quick with fixing game breaking bugs. I'm just irked I lost over eight hours of gameplay progress.

I got tired of waiting, and just created a new build and started over.
I was able to Make it to the Show in about 85 games as an Orioles LF (68 OVR, Sparkplug, Bronze Contact 2, Gold Speed I). It was about 55 games at AA, and 30 games at AAA. It took about five hours of gameplay.
Thanks for wasting my time, SDS!

Same problem, got switch from 2nd to 3rd, got traded to Yankees org. and they kept me at 3rd base when im a SS.
They traded me because the SS position was filled in SD ( Tatis ) so I expected to be traded then be put back to SS but they kept me at 3rd even after the trade so I assume its something that needs to be fixed. -
Gross, what a headache,...
-
Getting stuck in this endless loop now as well. Went from 3B to being traded to 1B now just getting pulled at the beginning of the game.
-
Is SDS going to acknowledge this because this is 100% a game breaking bug. Not something you can just slide under the rug and not mention.
I believe this is a much bigger issue and that's exactly why they haven't mentioned anything. Because they have no clue how to fix it currently.
-
Literally exact same thing happened to me over a week ago. How do they miss something like this and how is it not fixed yet?

Sadly, it was faster to just create a new RTTS player/campaign than to wait on SDS.
For those in it for the achievement/trophy only, I'd recommend going LF for the Orioles. You should be able to make it to the majors in under a season in the minors.
