There is a setting for shifting auto or manual, does this work in RTTS?

I have looked for it in rtts settings but haven't found it.

It’s under fielding settings way down second from bottom.

Thank you! I was only looking at the settings menu in game, not in the main menu. Never been so happy to feel stupid lol.

From what I've seen it will always be a pitcher even if you dont ever pitch. They keep asking every couple months if I want to be a 2way player again. Super annoying.

Connecting rtts to dd was so stupid. I want to use him in franchise, not their nonsense dynasty mode.

I’ve had that where I was pitching a no hitter through 9 innings and was pulled because of stamina. Then lost the game in extra innings. The lack of run support has been frustrating a few times.

The manager apologized to me for pitching so well but not getting any run support lol. He was like you're great but they aren't carrying their weight I'm sorry.

The AI forces me into a shift then forces the batter to hit away. Even down and in pitches end up rolling slowly past 3rd.

Exactly. Meaning the shift makes pitching more difficult. Idc if a guy is a .350 batter or a .100 batter, I can make them all look stupid until the stupid shift makes me pitch differently for no reason. Of the little amount of contact made, its mostly groundballs so I just need a regular infield and the hitter stands no chance. The shift forces my hand to try and force strikeouts. The shift has yet to work a single time the way it was designed to, for me anyway. The AI sees a hole and then goes the other way every time.

The first time it happened I just let it go because that's just the way things go. The 5th time it happened I was irate. Absolutely insane that I have no say in this regard. I understand it's a managers call not the pitchers, but I know elite pitchers would definitely be listened too as well.

I would really love to be able to stop my infield from shifting when I'm pitching. I'm so tired of a perfect game being ruined by a slow roller to third while no one is there. Literally not once in my 4 seasons of rtts has the shift done its job. All it does is ruin stats. At least irl I could complain to a manager about why the best pitcher in the history of the league cant place his infield in proper position.
