Should I Keep Playing RTTS?
-
Got drafted by the Giants and spent three years there winning 2 x MVP awards, Hank Aaron and Silver Sluggers. Decided that Giants aren’t going to be a team regularly competing in the postseason so requested a trade to a championship contending team.
Got traded to the Red Sox who had literally just won the WS and now I’m there are glued firmly to the bottom of the division, giving up runs for fun and nobody driving anything in except for me. And now the Giants are now top of the division and doing really well.
This is my 4th attempt at a RTTs career on this game and every time I end up starting again because the game keeps doing this to me.
I have played for the Marlins, Braves, Dodgers, Brewers, Yankees, Giants, Phillies and now Red Sox across the careers and every time I switch teams the game just keeps shutting down team success for me.
I’m bored of winning individual awards and losing to every team constantly.
I’ve seen other people report this online but I’ve also seen people say they’ve never experienced this.
Why is it happening to me and how can I stop it?

It's happening because a few years ago the leadership at SDS decided the game needed spicing up, and the code was skewed to make things more challenging. My guess is their egos got bruised by folks who speak loudly saying the game is too easy, and well, by God, SDS wasn't going to tolerate their game being too easy for anyone!
So, around the time that defensive chances got reduced down to nearly all difficult chances, hardly anything routine, we also got to see the game deflate the achievements of your fellow RTTS team players. The issue has been the subject of years of customer complaints in feedback, but nothing has been done to correct it.
Yes, it is entirely true. If your RTTS player is on base, you can expect to see the hitters behind him strike out about 90% of the time. If these players are batting about .250, they will bat a mere .195 or lower with runners in scoring position.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL This is the first MLBTS game I have played since 2017 and I’ve never known it like this. I always used to win at least 1 WS back in the day. Now it just seems the game goes above and beyond to shutdown team success.

It's not your imagination. The game has changed in the timeline you reference, and not for the better. This is why the customers constantly say the game needs core improvements to remain relevant, not merely tinkering around the edges. Many people think MLB The Show was a better game from 2017 to 2022.
