@moosealbany_psn said in Reinstalling MLBTS 2019...:

First, I think the idea of a Universal Profile for RTTS is just flat-out boneheaded. If I want to build a toon who is a fleet-footed, base-stealing, contact hitting CF who can chase down fly balls like a greyhound, that character is going to have a much different look and physique than my power-hitting 1B who crushes balls 450+ feet and runs a 40 yard dash in about 2 minutes. Those two guys are not, in my mind's eye, the exact same guy with the exact same physical appearance with two different "loads".

Third, the idea and implementation of "archetypes" seems to me to be clearly inferior as compared to the previous method of player progression. If a player can run like Rickey Henderson on Monday, he's not going to transform on Tuesday to a Miguel Cabrera and then again on Wednesday to a Clayton Kershaw**. IRL players don't simply forget how to hit a baseball because today they are wearing their "pitcher hat" as compared to their "slugger hat".

Fourth, at one point RTTS could be played and enjoyed entirely offline. You didn't need a persistent, or even a particularly good Internet connection once you had installed and patched the game. In the 2021 version of the game this is no longer the case as Program Progression is entirely dependent on Internet connection.

I think the "idea" of easily taking your player across modes, RttS or DD/Franchise/etc, is a great idea, it just seems that SDS implemented it horribly and at the cost of RttS players like us.

I have 4 different saves on '20 of different pitcher types (all with different looks and pitch make up) and even one of a LF for my hitting fix. Can't seem to do that now

I can't get past the idea of my two way player being a great contact hitter with some pop and a Pitcher with breaking stuff that defies physics, except on days when I pitch I seem to forget how to be a contact hitter, run a 40YD dash in 3 days and keeps throwing the ball to the fans instead of one of the bases lol. So much for being the next Sho O

Tying RttS to On-Line is the most bone headed thing ever (don't forget the sliders too).
