RTTS coach challenges
-
I played next to none of RTTS in TS21 so these might not even be in the game anymore.
In TS20 sometimes between series your coach will approach you and insist you work on an aspect of your game such as improving slugging percentage or discipline. You are given 2x the attribute points for the next series or so.
In older versions of RTTS (going back a long time now, PS3 days probably) you were assigned challenges such as get x walks in the next series or x hits or strikeouts (as pitcher). You were rewarded with training points.
A hybrid of this would work well I think, to help us engage in the world more. So that we are given a goal like ‘strikeout six batters’ or ‘slug more than .500’ in the next series. And instead of getting 2x for every play, we get 2x if we achieve the goal. We would still get the 1x as each play is made, but the bonus points are awarded (or not) after the series or whatever timeframe.
This is basically a return to the very old system (goals are set by our coach) but within the framework of the current system (ie we don’t get to choose to which attributes training points are allocated).
