Other than cross saves for when it becomes multiplatform next year.

I think it'd be cool to have a trophyroom to see all your awards and stuff...
and Some off field events could be cool as well.

@RNMorton said in What improvements do you want to see in RTTS for MLB The Show 21?:

That's a great question, I would say:

1. return of the ball trails from 19, so you can actually distinguish the ball from the infield dirt when you're playing 3B
2. also from 2019, show a few more balls traveling down the line, even if they go foul, geez add a little suspense
3. better judgment on pitcher relief so the manager doesn't freak out when you're up 2-1 and somebody gets a bloop single on you in the 7th
4. allow you to contact your agent when times get really tough
5. allow you the option of letting the AI manage your running when you get on-base, I find that difficult and tedious; in the alternative, eliminate the huge lag when changing directions in the baseline.
6. add real game accomplishments to Events & Awards, like 4 HRs in one game, Perfect Games and No-Hitters

I agree with most of these things.
It can be hard to see the ball sometimes.

Baserunning can make you go what? sometimes.
Needs to be an option for the reverse side. To Turn off all the assists on it too. I don't have a problem with it, but My Roomate does some how. It always makes him advance on fly balls, and he cant make it back in time and other stuff.

Number 4 would be nice to. A new tab for Agent could be helpful. that way you could talk to him when ever you wanted. (Request Trade/Release/ Position Change Etc)

oh and Add Cycles, Allstar game MVP, Derby Champ etc. to this list as well

Oh and Going back to my Previous post.
I don't know how they could implement this
but Some way to Challenge calls the ump makes would be cool.

Or some other ways you could get ejected if you have it on.
(hear me out. I know you're like why would I want this? isn't the point of RTTS to be like an rpg? Things like Charging the mound after being beaned. and A bench clearing fiasco would ensue. Stuff like this could be pretty cool. Or something like The Ump Blew a Call that resulted in You being struck out/ giving a walk. in a crucial situation.
I know most these probably wouldn't happen but its fun to imagine.

a multiplayer RTTS mode could be fun too.
think of an at least 18 player lobby where everyone can use their created player at their position. Sounds really fun.

@tkma721 said in Drafting in RTTS:

agree with you all. RTTS needs to be updated. some of us enjoy the showcase to see where we can be drafted and playing RTTS. hope they really look into this soon. been a fan from day one and own every copy. this game can be the best ever if they tweak things that players are interested in and listen. when we did beta this year they should of had RTTS in there so we could see it before release.

Next year is it for me. DD is ok to [censored] around with. I never play online. I'm 100% solo player. There is so much they could do with that mode. But EA, sorry SDS doesn't. They focus on their cash cow.

I'd love to see a co op type thing. My buddy gets drafted by X team. I get drafted by a different team. When our teams play each other, we face off. How about adding a real story mode, let us hire an agent, sign deals, make social media actually have some value. Look at 2k NBA then look at this. Its laughable. Even QB1 on Madden has more features I think.

I think they've locked you into the later rounds since 18.
I remember playing 16 and got a 1st overall pick.

A real story mode would indeed be really awesome. especially with our year to year saves.
Interaction with the media in post game interviews when your team wins a big game/series etc. or you passed a mile stone. would all be awesome.

It would be cool to see other stuff in there too like you see on tv sometimes with the Crazy Bench clearing brawls with a bitter rivals after they've plunked you and your time for the Nth time this series.
Sure you'll be ejected and probably suspended if you were an instigator. but The immersion would be unparalleled.
The only issue I have with the 2K storymode is the progression is too Grindy in an effort to force you to by mtx.

They've Locked you into what you can make ever since The SHow 18.
I was first over all in the show 16.
but When I actually got a ps4 and played for real on 18
THey locked you to the later rounds no mater how well you did
(i.e. 27th round or later)
I tried a new player in 19 and I Came to the conclusion that the Highest you can get is 15th round first pick.

I haven't gotten the show 20 yeah, but From what you're saying it sounds like it's done the same.

My roommate and I share this, and I'm not even joking when I counted to Ten consecutive pick off attempts the pitcher made. It get crazy at a certain point. especially when you have to hold back on the stick to even have a chance of being safe.

@ThaGhettoBlasta said in What improvements do you want to see in RTTS for MLB The Show 21?:

Turn off the 20 day rainstorms that follow you. Other than that I love RTTS as is.

It's funny how it always talks about their might be rain delays but it never happens

I got Drilled in the [censored] one game.
but I have max durabillity. so I soldiered on to first base.

Ah that's a shame on the Fights.
NHL has them lol.
(But that's besides the point. I just thought that'd sound cool, In Idea At least.)

Being able to interact with fans would be really cool, if they could work it out.
Like an example could be You're on the corners (1B 3B etc) and your going near the stands, and maybe catch a foul ball. Then you could give it to them or something.

tbh I like The current system of progression.
I started with 16, but I didn't know what to do in the points and how to use them, so I kinda quit it.
But when 18 came out with the then "New" I liked how it was a lot simpler, and have been playing since.

Maybe there can be both.
You could have a menu in the options where you could choose how you want your progression to be.
The Current (or Casual I guess could be another name) would be the 18- to present way.
And Classic (or Advanced) could be the Old system.

I'm not sure yet if it would be Pick this at the start of your character in rtts and you cant change it,o or if you could change it when you wanted.

Yeah I hope so too. I basically only use my music any way.
The default music is usually terrible any way.

@farikosilver_psn said in Knuckleball Pitcher no Longer an Option?!:

I'm so glad this game is on Gamepass.
I definitely save a lot of money.
No Sounds of the Show (default music is always terrible)
No Y2Y Saves. (Been Playing since 18)
The menu's are a mess.
and why is there an extra innings rule I can't turn off
Especially on the simulation settings

I too had a KN pitcher. He was fun to play as.

You actually can turn off the extra innings rule I believe before the start of Franchise it gives you the option

So Do I need to start a franchise team then?
I just think it's weird how I have the settings on Simulation, and it turned that on for me.

@sojo182_xbl said in RTTS 20 on PS4 to RTTS 21 on XBOX:

After uploading my 20 RTTS to the cloud from my PS4 I could not find a way to download it from the cloud to my Xbox One to continue it for RTTS 21. Both consoles are linked to each other. Any ideas?

they Even Removed the custom music too
(sounds of the show)
Pfft.

Really Dumb tbh.
It was the main attraction of this series to me.

Will SOTS/ importing custom music be available for xbox users in mlb the show 21? When I had a ps4 I loved using this feature, in fact, it's one of the main reasons why I enjoyed the game so much.

I don't see why it wouldn't, it's been in game as long as i can remember. XBOX shouldn't be any different.

SDS has been very adament about wanting New Players with XBOX to be able to have same experience that playstation users been having for past 15+ years.

since the GP version is out. I've been looking around and I don't see it.
geez they made the menus a pain to get around what was wrong with the simplicity of 20?
but am I just missing it?
I would be kinda annoyed if they removed it.

Unfortunately unforeseen by everyone it is only available on ps4 this year. But looking back the feature was removed when the jump to ps3 to ps4 happened.

If you are on ps4, the main screen there is a gear and you can access sounds of the show there.

well good thing I didn't buy this then. I was really thinking of buying the xbox version to give them a chance.
Thank you.
(the default music is always terrible. hope they add it in a future update. Honestly I don't see how removing things is an "update" This was one of my favorite things, lol.)

Hope we can preload as well. I know you could do that with some other gamepass games.
Hoping I'll be able to do the same with 21 as well.

@pogibana said in How does this make you feel about no Y2Y saves in MLB The Show 21?:

I definitely will not buy MLB21. I have players from 18, 19 and 20 in my game and with all the added stuff you can't get through a career in one year especially if you have more than one player. Eliminating the Y2Y transfer was really stupid

Yeah the same with me. my mains are from 18 originally as well.
Sucks, Cause I was really looking forward to trying them on the Xbox Version.

@pogibana said in Is there a reason to move to The Show 21?:

I am tired of them making RTTS worse rather then better. I am out this time. I have purchased this game every year since 2009 but no more. It is not worth it anymore.

Same but since 18
I've been playing my SP and 3B since then, and they've built a pretty big career so far.
I don't play it enough to warrant starting over yearly
Especially how I'd never get out of my rookie contract by the years end.
Since you're eligible for free agency after 6 seasons.
I maybe at best play a season and a half or two in a year.
I'm on my 8th on those.
