Your Mia made it up, huh? Good for her!
(I've got seven female players going, and only one Mia has reached the major leagues. Two or three of them seem to have disappeared entirely.)

Dang. Sounds to me like you're seriously unlucky.
I honestly don't know how the CPU chooses how a team will do, but it can vary to both extremes. For instance: I've got two players who got drafted by the Cubs. The first player is stuck on a Cubs team that is dead last in the NL Central every year. The second finished their rookie season by helping the Cubs win the Pennant. (The Cubs would go on to win the Worlds Series, but my player was optioned back to Triple-A before the series began.) So...yeah. Total luck of the draw. Hope yours improves.

Is this for batting? That happened to me for a while too. The CPU eventually caught on and raised the difficulty...a season after my player had broken just about every batting record of note.

If you're impatient, you can always go to settings and raise the difficulty manually.

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.

@Jpytel23 Yeah? What position were you playing?

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.

@Jpytel23 Not in this game, alas.

If I do well enough in the combine, I get to choose what team I'm most interested in playing for; otherwise, I think it's some random setting. In my case, the times the CPU chose for me I got drafted by Detroit, Colorado, and San Diego.

Interesting. My two-way player was selected for the HR Derby (I declined though), and made the All-Star Game as a right fielder.

Both my players made the All-Star Game during their first complete seasons.

I think I may be a little unclear about how this Dynamic Difficulty thing works. My pitchers certainly see a challenge, facing batters at the Veteran to All-Star level. Whenever I come up to bat, though, I'm always at the Beginner level, resulting in a batting average that stays over .600 for the season. Am I not supposed to face better and better pitchers as I progress? Or will I always be at beginner because I'm using the "timing" method to control my swings?

I'm playing as a two-way player who mostly plays right field, and pitches occasionally. In the games where she pitches, her face in the wrap screen after the game is completely wrong: hair color, eye color, face shape, even gender or skin tone will be something different. This only happens when she's pitching, though; when she's playing RF everything is fine. Anyone else having this problem?

I have two so far: a pitcher named Stephanie Costellano, who is currently a starting pitcher for the Iowa Cubs, and a two-way player named Katie Shepard, who plays RF and occasionally pitches for the Worcester Red Sox. Stephanie is struggling a little at the AAA level, but Katie is expected to make it to Boston by the end of the season. (Manager has already told her she's hitting like Ted Williams, so I'm hopeful.)

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

Trying that. Here's hoping.
