    The other thing I'll say that just because your guy is a short stop in road to the Show doesn't mean he is primary short stop in DD. It's whatever the archetype states. In rtts it's what position you decide. It's different for both

    That’s just the thing though. In Diamond Dynasty, my player is a primary SS. That’s why I do not understand why he has the gold shield instead of the diamond shield.

    Like I said, in DD the hawk is a primary left field and everything else is secondary. Unless I'm wrong on that but I'm pretty sure it is. Then you can't have a ss primary with that archetype. Do you have a pic of the archetype that says you are a ss primary with that archetype in dd?

    You have to grind out the archetype to a diamond version, and then grind that archetype to max.
    I have a SP with a diamond professor archetype who is level 91.

    Yep I understand that. I have the diamond “The Hawk” archetype as well as 4 diamond perks equipped. Are you saying I need to max out the last program and get the diamond perk pack in order to receive my full stats?

    What level is your player in RTTS

    He’s an 86 OVR I think. I maxed out his fielding at the 50 attribute cap in RTTS.

    Well, your overall comes from all your stats, not just fielding.
    My level 91 has a diamond main archetype, 3 diamond perks, and 1 gold perk.
    2 perks are for pitching and the other 2 are for hitting.
    Having said all this, in DD he is a level 65 starting pitcher, however once in game if I check his stats there, they are as high as any other player I have on my squad.
    Currently he is second in my rotation but i have to manually place him there.

    Yeah I understand all of that. In RTTS, there is a 50 base attribute cap for your player. Through training and playing RTTS, you can’t exceed that 50 base attribute cap for your player. What I was saying is that I reached that attribute cap for fielding and I set everything else up with my archetype, equipment, and perks so that once I reached that cap, my player would have 90 fielding. Looking at my player card in DD, he does have 90 fielding, but I am playing with him right now in DD and he still has gold fielding at SS. Also, my player is not a two-way player. I decided to make my four perks go towards Power, Contact, and Fielding. Sorry for the confusion here, I should have been more specific in my initial post.

    If youd read what I wrote, it explains it. In DD he is not a primary SS if you are using the hawk archetype

    Where does it say “the hawk” is not a primary SS in DD? My diamond “the hawk” archetype says the preferred positions are “SS, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF” not only does it list SS twice, but it lists SS first as well. Also, if I put my ballplayer in any other position other than SS in DD, it says “Secondary Pos” but it does not say that for SS. And this is all with my diamond “the hawk” archetype

    No worries, I know you’re just trying to help. I’m not sure how to post an image, but I’m 99.9% sure my player is a primary SS with diamond “the hawk” archetype. I will say, as I was grinding this archetype up, it goes from spark plug, slugging spark plug, gold the hawk, and diamond the hawk. When I was a slugging spark plug (which was the silver archetype) my primary position was LF in Diamond Dynasty. However, For both the gold and diamond “the hawk” it is a primary SS in DD

    SS is my secondary position.

    My SP went: Painter - something painter - gold professor - diamond professor.

    I just started doing the DD ballplayer & I’m a silver going to gold. How many more cycles are there until he’s maxed out?

    Gold and then Diamond.

    Hmm, I'll have to take a look at mine when I'm at home. I was going off of memory so I dont remember 100%. I thought for sure it was LF primary. I'll look later tonight. If that is the case and it's SS primary, it should for sure be diamond defense. It would not shock me at all if they messed it up, they have messed up so much with this new way of doing road to the Show and diamond dynasty player. I'll check soon and see if there is anything else I can help with

    Yep I wouldn’t be surprised either if this was messed up by SDS. I just wanted to see if there was something I missed before I go and call this an error on their part. I appreciate you taking the time to help. Let me know what your primary is for yours. I did spark plug, slugging spark plug, gold hawk, and diamond hawk and my primary positions went 2B -> LF -> SS -> SS. If everyone else has diamond hawk and it’s a primary LF, maybe mine is glitched?

    Is yours a secondary SS at the speedy spark plug? When I had my silver archetype, mine was slugging spark plug, and that build had LF primary. However, once I got gold hawk, it changed to SS primary.

    Well speedy sparkplug was SS but it just led to Gold Rawhide and that's 2cd base. This sux, I just want my diamond level SS. What did you start with at bronze?

    I started with Spark Plug, but I chose Slugging Spark Plug which was a primary LF. However, it led to gold “the hawk” which was primary SS. It says my diamond “the hawk” is also primary SS, which is why I was confused as to why I didn’t have the diamond fielding shield at SS when my player had 90 fielding.

    So looking at the hawk archetype, I was wrong, it is listed as primary shortstop. The tool shed one that comes with it at the same time you get the hawk is the one that is for left field so I have no idea why you are not a diamond shortstop.

    It seems as though when I put it into the line up, it reads as a secondary position without showing it on the line up screen and removes fielding from the build to the same as if you had the player in a secondary position. I never even noticed it before.

    I would submit a bug report although I doubt anything comes of it, this whole rtts and dd player is so messed up this year.

    From reddit and The Hawk is SS in DD.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBTheShow/comments/n1utii/comprehensive_guide_to_rttsdd_ballplayer_cap/?sort=new

    Sparkplug

    Bronze - Sparkplug - 2B

    Silver - Slugging Sparkplug LF - Speedy Sparkplug - SS - Slick Sparkplug CF

    Slugging Sparkplug leads to Gold - The Tool Shed LF and The Hawk SS

    Speedy Sparkplug leads to Gold - Rawhide 2B and The Spoke CF

    Slick Sparkplug leads to Gold - The Dewey RF and The Dart CF

    Slugger

    Bronze - Slugger - 1B

    Silver - Sparking Slugger 1B - Speedy Slugger - LF - Slick Slugger 3B

    Sparking Slugger leads to Gold - The Duke LF and Crime Dog 3B

    Speedy Slugger leads to Gold - El Ambusador LF and El Nino CF

    Slick Slugger leads to Gold - Yo Adrian 3B and The Showboat 3B

    Speedster

    Bronze - Speedster - CF

    Silver - Sparking Speedster 2B - Slugging Speedster - LF - Slick Speedster CF

    Sparking Speedster leads to Gold - Cool Papa CF and Man of Steel LF

    Slugging Speedster leads to Gold - Sheff RF and The Winny LF

    Slick Speedster leads to Gold - The Werth LF and The Lark SS

    Slick Fielding

    Bronze - Slick Fielding - C

    Silver - Sparking Slickster SS - Slugging Slickster - 3B - Speedy Slickster CF

    Sparking Slickster leads to Gold - The Wizard SS and The Mechanical Man SS

    Slugging Slickster leads to Gold - Ironman 3B and El Mago SS

    Speedy Slickster leads to Gold - The Belli CF and The Fly Chaser 2B

    So as we can see there are some positions that do not have a high tier primary which is incredibly odd. Also, you only want to be playing your ballplayer at his primary position in DD, or he will get out of position animations which is also stupid, not sure if this is intended or not. Below is a cleaned up view of all positions and their Gold/Diamond tier archetypes:

    Catcher (0) - NONE

    First Base (0) - NONE

    Second Base (2) - Rawhide/The Fly Chaser

    Third Base (4) - Crime Dog/Yo Adrian/The Showboat/Ironman

    Shortstop (5) - The Hawk/The Lark/The Wizard/The Mechanical Man/El Mago

    Left Field (6) - The Tool Shed/The Duke/El Ambusador/Man of Steel/The Winny/The Werth

    Center Field (5) - The Spoke/The Dart/El Nino/Cool Papa/The Belli

    Right Field (2) - The Dewey/Sheff

    Below are the boosts each archetype gives at GOLD. Diamond will increase the main ones a little bit more. The below displays boosts in this specific order - Contact/Vision, Power/Arm, Speed/Stealing, Fielding/Acc/Reac

    Rawhide - (+38)(+10)(+30)(+20)

    The Fly Chaser - (+20)(+10)(+30)(+42)

    Crime Dog - (+24)(+36)(+10)(+15)

    Yo Adrian - (+15)(+36)(+10)(+25)

    The Showboat - (+5)(+36)(+20)(+25)

    Ironman - (+15)(+24)(+10)(+42)

    The Hawk - (+38)(+20)(+10)(+20)

    The Lark - (+20)(+10)(+46)(+30)

    The Wizard - (+26)(+10)(+20)(+42)

    The Mechanical Man - (+26)(+14)(+10)(+42)

    El Mago - (+10)(+24)(+20)(+42)

    The Tool Shed - (+38)(+20)(+15)(+10)

    The Duke - (+24)(+36)(+20)(+10)

    El Ambusador - (+15)(+36)(+30)(+10)

    Man of Steel - (+30)(+15)(+49)(+10)

    The Winny - (+10)(+24)(+46)(+20)

    The Werth - (+10)(+15)(+46)(+32)

    So when you put your ballplayer with the hawk archetype into your lineup at SS, it reads it as a secondary position? That must be what’s happening to my ballplayer as well. I’ll see what comes of it if I submit a ticket, however I’m still waiting on a response for the ticket I submitted regarding my missing Dennis Eckersley from the A’s collection lol

    From reddit and The Hawk is SS in DD.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBTheShow/comments/n1utii/comprehensive_guide_to_rttsdd_ballplayer_cap/?sort=new

    Sparkplug

    Bronze - Sparkplug - 2B

    Silver - Slugging Sparkplug LF - Speedy Sparkplug - SS - Slick Sparkplug CF

    Slugging Sparkplug leads to Gold - The Tool Shed LF and The Hawk SS

    Speedy Sparkplug leads to Gold - Rawhide 2B and The Spoke CF

    Slick Sparkplug leads to Gold - The Dewey RF and The Dart CF

    Slugger

    Bronze - Slugger - 1B

    Silver - Sparking Slugger 1B - Speedy Slugger - LF - Slick Slugger 3B

    Sparking Slugger leads to Gold - The Duke LF and Crime Dog 3B

    Speedy Slugger leads to Gold - El Ambusador LF and El Nino CF

    Slick Slugger leads to Gold - Yo Adrian 3B and The Showboat 3B

    Speedster

    Bronze - Speedster - CF

    Silver - Sparking Speedster 2B - Slugging Speedster - LF - Slick Speedster CF

    Sparking Speedster leads to Gold - Cool Papa CF and Man of Steel LF

    Slugging Speedster leads to Gold - Sheff RF and The Winny LF

    Slick Speedster leads to Gold - The Werth LF and The Lark SS

    Slick Fielding

    Bronze - Slick Fielding - C

    Silver - Sparking Slickster SS - Slugging Slickster - 3B - Speedy Slickster CF

    Sparking Slickster leads to Gold - The Wizard SS and The Mechanical Man SS

    Slugging Slickster leads to Gold - Ironman 3B and El Mago SS

    Speedy Slickster leads to Gold - The Belli CF and The Fly Chaser 2B

    So as we can see there are some positions that do not have a high tier primary which is incredibly odd. Also, you only want to be playing your ballplayer at his primary position in DD, or he will get out of position animations which is also stupid, not sure if this is intended or not. Below is a cleaned up view of all positions and their Gold/Diamond tier archetypes:

    Catcher (0) - NONE

    First Base (0) - NONE

    Second Base (2) - Rawhide/The Fly Chaser

    Third Base (4) - Crime Dog/Yo Adrian/The Showboat/Ironman

    Shortstop (5) - The Hawk/The Lark/The Wizard/The Mechanical Man/El Mago

    Left Field (6) - The Tool Shed/The Duke/El Ambusador/Man of Steel/The Winny/The Werth

    Center Field (5) - The Spoke/The Dart/El Nino/Cool Papa/The Belli

    Right Field (2) - The Dewey/Sheff

    Below are the boosts each archetype gives at GOLD. Diamond will increase the main ones a little bit more. The below displays boosts in this specific order - Contact/Vision, Power/Arm, Speed/Stealing, Fielding/Acc/Reac

    Rawhide - (+38)(+10)(+30)(+20)

    The Fly Chaser - (+20)(+10)(+30)(+42)

    Crime Dog - (+24)(+36)(+10)(+15)

    Yo Adrian - (+15)(+36)(+10)(+25)

    The Showboat - (+5)(+36)(+20)(+25)

    Ironman - (+15)(+24)(+10)(+42)

    The Hawk - (+38)(+20)(+10)(+20)

    The Lark - (+20)(+10)(+46)(+30)

    The Wizard - (+26)(+10)(+20)(+42)

    The Mechanical Man - (+26)(+14)(+10)(+42)

    El Mago - (+10)(+24)(+20)(+42)

    The Tool Shed - (+38)(+20)(+15)(+10)

    The Duke - (+24)(+36)(+20)(+10)

    El Ambusador - (+15)(+36)(+30)(+10)

    Man of Steel - (+30)(+15)(+49)(+10)

    The Winny - (+10)(+24)(+46)(+20)

    The Werth - (+10)(+15)(+46)(+32)

    The Spoke - (+38)(+15)(+30)(+10)

    The Dart - (+38)(+10)(+15)(+26)

    El Nino - (+5)(+36)(+30)(+20)

    Cool Papa - (+30)(+10)(+46)(+20)

    The Belli - (+10)(+18)(+30)(+42)

    The Dewey - (+38)(+15)(+10)(+26)

    Sheff - (+20)(+26)(+46)(+10)

    Great find!

    I said screw it, I deleted my RTTS save, deleted all my load-outs and made just a SP and told my new team I only want to pitch no 2-way stuff at all.
    I took my level 92 diamond professor into a RS game last night and pitched 7 innings of no hitter before I subbed him out.
    Got the win!

    So looking at the hawk archetype, I was wrong, it is listed as primary shortstop. The tool shed one that comes with it at the same time you get the hawk is the one that is for left field so I have no idea why you are not a diamond shortstop.

    It seems as though when I put it into the line up, it reads as a secondary position without showing it on the line up screen and removes fielding from the build to the same as if you had the player in a secondary position. I never even noticed it before.

    I would submit a bug report although I doubt anything comes of it, this whole rtts and dd player is so messed up this year.

    So when you put your ballplayer with the hawk archetype into your lineup at SS, it reads it as a secondary position? That must be what’s happening to my ballplayer as well. I’ll see what comes of it if I submit a ticket, however I’m still waiting on a response for the ticket I submitted regarding my missing Dennis Eckersley from the A’s collection lol

    Thats the only thing I can think of because it acts as though it's a secondary position for whatever reason.

    @rabid55wolverine said in Ballplayer in DD:

    The other thing I'll say that just because your guy is a short stop in road to the Show doesn't mean he is primary short stop in DD. It's whatever the archetype states. In rtts it's what position you decide. It's different for both

    That’s just the thing though. In Diamond Dynasty, my player is a primary SS. That’s why I do not understand why he has the gold shield instead of the diamond shield.

    I posted about this the other day and didn’t get any traction. I think it’s a glitch. I also have hawk SS and sometimes his badge is diamond sometimes it’s gold. Even though his fielding is 94 in DD, also have fielding maxed in RTTS. I submitted a ticket to SDS not sure how long that will take LOL.

    I did notice it happens more in conquests then ranked.

    Hope that helps.

    In theory, as long as you have 90+ fielding, you will have diamond fielding. You will see the diamond shield icon under your ballplayer while in game. However, this seems to be glitched in Diamond Dynasty for ballplayers.
