@deadshot-rb_xbl said in Quirks??:

Can anyone confirm or deny that our RTTS ball players can get these? I’ve seen them on DD cards. Just curious about in RTTS.

When it comes to Quirks, your RTTS player can only get what are called "Inactive" Quirks, as I call them. Only Live Series DD players can get what are called "Live" Quirks.

Inactive Quirks come when you meet a certain threshold for a certain stat. For example, once you get 75+ Contact against Lefties and Righties, your player obtains, "Hitting Machine," which means that you excel at getting base hits. They do not affect your actual in-game performance, they are just there to say, "Hey, you have great contact stats, so, in theory, you should excel at getting base hits, because that is what contact gives you!" Or so on, and so forth. Another example of an Inactive Quirk would be when you hit 75+ Power vs both sides of the plate. You then get, "Bomber," which means you excel at hitting home runs. I think you understand what I am trying to get at here. They don't actually do anything, they are just there to say you have met a certain threshold for a certain stat.

Live Quirks ONLY affect Live Series DD Players. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO OBTAIN THEM. What these do, it varies based off of what they have. If it is a pitcher, say, Jordan Hicks or Aroldis Chapman, they can throw REALLY hard. So, they receive the "Outlier" Quirk, which basically means they can throw 102 with the primary pitch, or well over the cap of the pitch. Some Flashback cards do have this quirk, as Outlier is somewhere in the middle of an Inactive Quirk and a Live Quirk. An actual example of a Live Quirk would be one like "Dead Red," or "Breaking Ball Hitter." Those mean that you either excel at hitting fastballs, or breaking balls. Some cards may have both. But, only DD Live Series players can get ones like Dead Red or Breaking Ball HItter.

So, Inactive Quirks do nothing, as far as I can tell, and Live Quirks do affect the player, but only on Live Series DD Players. I also failed to mention that they may sometimes include these Live Quirks on POTM cards. I hope this answers your question.
