@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).

@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

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)
