@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.
Cheers, Moose
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).
@red_ted_is_back said in How do you RTTS as a catcher?:
It was because my ballplayer was a lefty. Change him to a righty and you can choose catcher. I’m now testing what happens when you back out, change throw hand to lefty and go back into catcher RTTS. Edit: it forces you to be a righty catcher, even though it says you throw L. When your pitching comes up as a two way, you’re throwing L. Probably the best way to do it. Slightly disappointed that despite not having a mask in my loadout my catcher had one on field. I really wanted to see how that played out without one

Just pretend you borrowed the Equipment Mgrs. 15 YO mask that was handed down, never washed and has all the 15 year dings, scratches and smells ....... lol

@zharperz1984_psn said in i need a tip regarding the pitcher: Name one change they got right in RTTS? The most popular mode. And who the hell are the folks they said have been asking to combine DD and RTTS for years? Seriously I want to meet one of these guys and.... I noticed Hair looks pretty nice this year, when editing the appearance, haha good for a baseball game when you are always wearing a hat... For real though, they screwed this mode up badly! Probably to late to hit ctrl-z?

Try sliding into base more .... I just want a Bryce Harper hair flip animation LOL
What difficulty are you playing at? Might have to up it to get realistic pitches
What worst is that you can't even use you guy at the position you want him in because DD has him listed as something else..... Using a SP/LF and I can't even use him as an SP because DD has him as a RP???? WTF This whole Architype system blows
@ministro787_psn said in Bro! Big news!!!!:
You have to admit that concocting this story after they went at it in the tunnel is hysterical!
I thought it was great and better than the drama the NY Vultures would have made up if one of the two were scuffling longer or made a ton of errors and then talk about who has to go/get traded "for the health of the Team" because they had a "fight" (gotta get those clicks/ad buys). Wish they would just tell the media to frack off and mind their business. They know what goes on in the clubhouse is off limits.... bunch of harpy, nosey neighbor, drama queens ...

It's pretty realistic, the team doesn't want to start the clock on you. They'll call you up again (and possible send you back down as you have options left, check the 40 man.... bet you're on it) once those options are used up they'll put you on the MLB roster.
*They are doing the same to my player, but my Ovr is still low due to progress issues. But I got the Spring Invite (did really good) and am on the 40 Man, but starting off in AAA.

@sixclock4810751_xbl said in Xbox one and One S frame rate still not fixed: I really thought that the new update would have fix the frame rate issues on Xbox One and One S but, all we get is a roster update and diamond dynasty updates. Hopefully SDS sees this because it's an issue that's going unnoticed. If they fix it it will be far into the future. But I think it's just that the last gen consoles aren't going to run this game well. Even last years game on PS4 had stuttering. At least on OG PS4, not sure about PRO.

Ran good on the Pro, just not in 4K. 4K looks great but the frame rate and tearing is an issue
@bwir88_xbl said in Get your sim leveling in tonight:
Lol saw that and thought the same thing. Luckily I got the bronze speedster done today with in game swimming
Wait ....your team has a pool?? I want a trade stat! lol
Stupid question Did you equip them in the equipment section of My Ball Player? and you have to select your player wearing them on his hat/none/all the time etc.... in the customize section part of it where you can change hair/beards/height/weight etc (last one on bottom is equipment, height/weight etc is General I think)
If you are using Dynamic Difficulty turn it off and go with a straight setting like Veteran, All-Star or HoF (if new I suggest Veteran as you will see breaking pitches and not every pitch down the middle) Dynamic will mess with your hitting, drop your difficulty, then you mash, then it raises it, and you can't hit for [censored] etc..
Right now the only way to boost your power numbers is to use equipment as training is....sparse... to say kindly
You can use Normal and Contact swing and still hit homers, power swing use very sparingly unless you know that you're getting a pitch in a spot for sure. (I only use it if I know that a pitcher is gonna pitch me in a certain spot and I am ahead in the count) Some pitchers you can read, like they will pitch twice in the lower zone, one outside then come in on you.....I ambushed a few this way
not here ...still getting server errors
