You aren't getting called up because your OVR is too low relative to the guy in front of you. The game doesn't care about your performance in game at all, only your OVR relative to who is in front of you in the majors. You will most likely need to complete the silver archetype program and get upgraded to the gold version before you get a chance. If you haven't done any of the DD parts of the program the lowest requirement ones are a quick 15-20 points of archetype progress.

It's dumb you have to play a different mode to progress your guy faster but that's how the game's designed...

Yep, super frustrating. This happened to me too, and I was even removed from the playoff roster!

It would be nice if you could have some say in the defensive alignment. However, if your defense is shifting against a guy, it means you need to pitch them down and in. Make it impossible for them to go the other way and force them to hit into the shift.

Nope, basically if you want to get more program progress you have to switch to one of your other gold programs and level that up.

I reported the issue yesterday, don't know if they'll reply but we'll see.

So my player has stayed 2-way the whole time and is low 90s rating as an SP and mid 70s rating as a 2B (but I was still one of the top 3 hitters on the team during the season).

I started and pitched Game 163 which I won, and then I was slated to pitch G3 of the NLDS on the schedule. So, like I did all season when I wasn't slated to pitch, I activated my 2B archetype for G1/G2 and started at 2B in both games. I hit a homer or two, we won both of the games.

After G2, I noticed that I was no longer slated to pitch G3. I noticed also that if I looked at the team's "rotation" I was moved down to 5th and ranked based on my 2B archetype rating as opposed to my SP rating. I tried switching back to my SP archetype but I guess it's too late at that point, it had already made the decision that I was a bad SP and I wasn't gonna start.

For G3, I didn't start the game in the field and just pinch hit in the 7th. I hit a double. We won the game and swept the NLDS in 3 games.

After the victory celebration, the game said that I'd been removed from the postseason roster. My player won the Cy Young, MVP, and Rookie of the Year -- and got removed from the postseason roster?!?!

Despite the bugs I'd been having fun playing RTTS still, but this really left a sour taste in my mouth and I just don't see the point of playing RTTS anymore.

I think what happened is the game must be reevaluating the starting rotation more frequently in the playoffs and rather than ranking you based on our best pitching loadout they rank you based on your currently equipped loadout. I guess to avoid it from happening you should just keep your best loadout equipped even if it means then you're going to potentially be running the wrong loadout in game?
