At least you made it to Veteran. Hitting for me seems to be stuck on Beginner+, whatever that means, so I'm raking in numbers that would have Barry Bonds and Ichiro Suzuki turning chartreuse with envy. On the other hand, it's got me all the way up at All-Star for pitching, which had me struggling like crazy just to put together a quality start.

Common package is silver-level equipment; gold is, well, gold-level.

Also, if you play well in college you have a good chance of getting drafted higher the second time around. My player was drafted in the 4th or 5th round after the Combine, but she went to Cal State Fullerton instead and got picked in the 2nd round for her career.

@sbchamps17_NSW Pity. Ah well. Thanks for clearing that up.

@worshipleader26 I keep hearing Gellman say my player i[censored]ting under the Mendoza Line (<.200) with RISP even though I'm leading the league in RBIs

In real life, the Chicago Cubs have made the postseason 5 times in the last decade, including 3 NLCS appearances and a World Series win; apart from the Covid years, they've been contenders every season in that time and look likely to be again this year.

In Road To The Show 24, the Cubs are perennial bottom feeders who lose 90+ games every season; my starting pitcher routinely breaks up 4-game losing streaks, meaning they seldom ever win games I don't start.

This is so ridiculous it makes me disinclined to play.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL "What's the purpose of the game?"
To have fun. The purpose of the game is to have fun. For some people, grinding and leveling up the hard way is fun, and that's fine. For others, already playing at a high level without having to go through the grind is fun, and you know what? That's just as fine. There's nothing wrong with allowing for both styles of play.

Dang, my female 2-way player (sp/rf) can't get through a single game without being lifted by the manager at some point. I wonder if the "watch full game, no simming" thing has anything to do with it — I'm on impact plays only, I believe.
