One RTTS bug has been fixed from previous releases
-
One of my previous pet peeves with RTTS is that the game code rendered a two-way player ineligible for the DH Silver Slugger Award. This because the code considered the time played in the fielding position as counting against the necessary AB's the code required. In short, you didn't ever get enough AB's in the view of the game code to qualify.
Well, that's been fixed!
In fact, there is no "minimum" number of AB's required, and that properly mimics how the voting is done in actual MLB play. So, having just seen it with my two-way avatar player, that player is now in the top three in DH Silver Slugger voting despite having not been promoted to MLB until 10 July.

Thank you! I always disliked not being able to win the Cy and batting title

The batting title is batting average and that does require a minimum number of AB's. So, that's still in place.
I was speaking about the Silver Slugger, where the two-way player in RTTS was previously frozen out of because the game code failed to award sufficient AB's as DH to be eligible, but also failed to add the AB's played as a fielder. So, the two-way player became for the Silver Slugger a player without a position.
This oversight is what was fixed in MLB 25.
