Teammates Hitting Homers When I’m On Base?
-
Can my teammates in RTTS hit home runs while I’m on base? This is super annoying in game winning situations when I’m the tying run and my teammate can walk it off with a homer. Is this just a computer thing where it’s based on how often the player can hit homers?

They can. Rare, but they can. Probably a statistical thing or rng thing, but they do get hits.

There does appear to be something in the game code that diminishes the skill of your teammates in RTTS relative to your own performance as an individual avatar player. On my RTTS team, and one of the big reasons why I grew dissatisfied with RTTS overall, is that no one on my team batted over .200 with runners in scoring position. Many times I would hit a leadoff triple and remained at third as each of the next two batters stuck out and if the third batter didn't do same, he flied out or grounded out.
I found that game play in Franchise ended up being far more balanced.
The problem I think is that RTTS got so ingrained with challenge that it forgot to replicate realistic baseball. This plus the ridiculous nonsense in the way that RTTS awards plus and minus points on plays. If you chase a liner to the wall and throw it to the cutoff man 250 feet or more away and he has to take a single step to his right or left, you get a point or two deducted for arm accuracy! Like holy cow! Beed to a real ballgame lately! A perfect throw to the cutoff man is when he can receive the catch with his feet pointed to the next base to throw to, not whether or not the place he initially stood had to be changed a foot or two.
Add in the lunacy of the announcers saying "great jump" on a successful steal attempt, only to have the game deduct a stealing attribute point because it thinks you made a late jump!

Turning off Baserunning moments is the first thing I do when I install this game. Fielding moments is the second thing.
