It's so annoying how often RTTS makes a game be played in the rain. Not that there's ever a delay, even when there should be. Games go on as normal despite moderate-to-heavy rain, even thunderstorms (which by MLB rules is not allowed). This is true even for cities where rain is scarce IRL, like Los Angeles, which famously has very little rain during the baseball season. Is there some slider somewhere that I can adjust so it doesn't rain so much?

I haven't had much of a problem with that, but my pitchers are rarely trying for pop ups to begin with. Except my knuckleballer. He gets a ton of them.
Where I feel the game must be rigged is when all of a sudden, none of my pitches can find the strike zone, like the game just decided this random batter must be walked, and so even if I manage to work from 3-0 back to 3-2, ball 4 is inevitable no matter how good my release or where I place the pitch. It's vexing, to be sure.

What Road To the Show really needs is a way to REFUSE Dynamic challenges. I've lost track of the number of times I've been given a choice of three challenges I know are all broken, or where the rewards were so small none of them were worth it, or when my pitcher is having a rough inning and I keep getting challenge after challenge after challenge until I'm screaming at the screen "OMFFG I DON'T CARE I DON'T CARE I DON'T CARE LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and it's getting old, I can tell you. So please, for RTTS '26, we need to be able to say No Thank You to challenges if we don't want them.

I wouldn't mind seeing Northwestern among them...

(From your mention of player type and perk slots, I'm guessing you're playing RTTS 2024 or earlier, yes? If not, kindly disregard the following reply.)
Is this your first player that you've made? If so, then leveling up and unlocking the perks will definitely take a while. But it will happen. Thing is, you gotta grind — no simulating. The more you play, the more you'll fulfill the missions on your tier level (X number of hits, extra-base hits, putouts, etc.) and advance your player's development. (Go to your player's page and select "See Tasks and Rewards" tab from the "Skill Set" section on your player's page to keep track of your progress.)
What it really comes down to is that you want to earn those green star things (forgive me if I'm blanking on the term for them just now) by accomplishing missions or succeeding in dynamic challenges or just doing drills and exercises on your days off. Once you have enough, you'll go up a tier (bronze to silver to gold to diamond), your stats will get a huge boost, your Slugging Spark Plug will eventually become The Tool Shed, and you'll unlock more perk slots. Even better, you'll get higher-tier perks which offer you greater advantages — and they'll stay in your inventory, so if one day you decide to create a new player, you can give them the higher-tier perks right from the start, and they'll get to the majors a lot faster than your current one. (For reference, my first player was called up to the Show after about a season and a half or so. My fifth was called up after about three months.)
One other thing you'll definitely want to keep an eye out for is package rewards. The equipment you can get in the package rewards can boost your stats and help you play better, which will earn you more rewards, and so on. (Example: bats improve your contact/power stats, gloves and cleats for fielding/running, etc.) And like the perks, your can get higher tier ones as you improve your player, and they'll stay available for future players you create to use from the start.
Hope this helps!

For the last couple weeks, it seems like every single individual game I play in RTTS starts with a Boss Challenge — either the first batter I face if I'm the SP, or my first at-bat if I'm a position player. Usually it's a "Fierce Rival" situation, even if there is no rivalry whatsoever between us, according to my player's relationships. Once in a while I could understand, especially if I'm playing against another team in my division, but this is every single game, against every single team. What gives?

Really? I get Nike equipment a lot — and then i can't get rid of them! Seriously, selling Nike stuff is not even an option. I think I've got something like 9 sets of the same catcher's leg guards, and that's just one example.
-
I picked up one or two from packages in RTTS '25, but I think '24 never got them for some reason (even though there's a spot for them under "Equipment")

Three times now — THREE separate times — one of my pitchers has got a ground ball hit right back to them, so the natural thing to do is throw it to first base for the out, right? Right? WRONG. No matter how many times I press the button, the pitcher can never throw the ball. Pitcher makes a throwing motion each time, so I know the button is working, but the ball NEVER LEAVES HER HAND, so the runner makes it safely to first and the pitcher is credited with an error. WTF is going on here?

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.

Where are you Per/9 stats? I haven't tried a closer yet, but for my starting pitchers ramping up that category gets me a promotion very quickly.

@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. -
Lucky. Best I've got so far was first round second pick...
-
That one happens to me all the time. The challenge is just plain broken.
Another one is "End inning without allowing a run, and no more baserunners". I can fulfill those requirements and yet the challenge will remain active for inning after inning until I do allow another baserunner, in which case I fail — or worse, since I'm playing a two-way player, until I GROUND OUT IN MY NEXT AT-BAT, which has NOTHING WHATEVER to do with the #$&?*!% challenge!!
-
Be nice if they could drop a few into '24 at some point for those of us who still play it, just sayin'...
-
Yeah, the tokens let you level up like a proper RPG. Makes it a challenge to do a 2-way player, though, as you need SO MANY TOKENS to improve as both a pitcher and a position player!
An interesting change I've noticed is that when I'm pitching, I no longer have an indication of where the catcher wants me to place the pitch. I can tell what pitch he wants by looking at the number of fingers, but I don't know how to read any sign of where the ball should go so I'm just having to wing it. I've no idea if this is something I can adjust in settings somewhere, but I'm kinda digging it for right now.

Right? I want to try that "Absolute Unit Burger" that is recommended against by 4 out of 5 cardiologists

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.

This may be a commonly known thing, but I'm new still fairly new to the game and I can't find any info on this.
I've got some 450k stubs saved up in The Show '24 that I'm unlikely ever to use there; can those be brought into The Show '25 somehow, or do I have to start from nothing again? (I typically use the stubs to buy equipment for RTTS, so that would set me up with a lot of top-level gear) Thanks!
