Stealing bases and hitting in RTTS
-
This is my first time ever playing MLB The Show '21 and I'm quite enjoying it. However, there are three issues I do have post update:
-
The Manager only calls for me to steal bases with my power archetypes. I'm to the point where I don't try when the steal is called. What sucks more is that my teammate at the plate always strikes out when I ignore the signal. He never calls for me to steal when I'm using a speed archetype. This is especially troublesome to me because stealing bases are part of progressing under the speed archetype.
-
Why is there no run support when I'm pitching in RTTS? My team has scored at most 3 runs when I pitch.
-
As a batter, I always receive +1 in vision but -2 in discipline when a questionable strike 3 is called. The discipline should only decrease by one since it is a strikeout.

All points are valid.
Regarding stealing - steal even though you are not given the signal. When on your speed archetype that is. Eventually you'll get called into the office and defend yourself - you'll get the permanent green light. Regarding being told to do so when your power guy is playing - it sucks. I saw the same thing. The batter will not swing the bat. So, I say steal anyway even knowing you are going to likely get thrown out. Just try and get a good jump so you get a +stealing bonus - those add up over time. Don't worry about the manager being an idiot - outside your control.
Regarding pitching and lack of run support - yeah - I've had a lot of 2-1 or 1-0 games with my pitcher that just don't happen when playing a different archetype. And I dread when a "dynamic challenge" happens - those are basically like a bat signal saying "you are about to fail"...
Regarding batting - striking out should not be a -discipline unless you did so swinging at a pitch outside the strike zone. If the pitch is inside the strike zone, it should be a -vision if you took it and a -contact if you swung and missed.
