You used to be able to have the sock option you wanted regardless of equipped gear in MLB the Show 21. Not sure about last year. The only issue with 21 was you had to remember to readjust it in the appearance section if you entered the loadout section. It might intentional due to how they changed the player screens.

This is post 3 about attributes, second about pitching attributes specifically I've seen on this forum, and it's still an ongoing issue. I think it's safe to say the DEVs don't care. The original pitch post has mentioned a 5th patch just released without any mention of a fix for this. I'll probably go back to 21 for awhile.

Thanks for updating. I check here before logging in to play.

Same. Haven't logged in in weeks.

You can do it ahead of the combine by changing the interface for how you throw the ball to the base. Leaving it as moving the right thumbstick to the time circle is what gives the 5 or 6 random button combination for outfielders. It has nothing to do with Showtime Moments. It's a new mechanic for throws that are longer than the throw from home plate to second base.

This has been irritating me as well.

FYI, it just came back up for me.

It's an issue for everyone. Yours is not the first post about this problem.

Never had this issue. The only issue I've noticed is you can no longer choose a sock option that hides the Stance Socks.

Here's a good one: Playing on the road in the AA, I make it to the bottom of the 11th inning of 0 to 0 game pitching a perfect game. For the first 10 innings I have 22 strikeouts, 0 Walks, 0 fielding Errors and under 110 pitches thrown. The first batter of the 11th earns me strikeout number 23 on only 3 pitches. The manager immediately pulls me out of the game and the reliever gives up the game winning hit the very next batter. I finish with 23 SO 10.1 Innings Pitched 0 ER loss because some morons who can write software code and algorithms that don't know a [censored] thing about baseball apparently work for this game company.

Apparently there's a 110 max pitch count for an individual starting pitcher in a game preference by teams in the MLB.

I've gotten my 4SFB Velo to 39, but it won't go past that.

I love the concept. But it failed on one aspect, your female player is not the first woman to play in the Double A - historically speaking. April 2nd, 1931 Jackie Mitchell debuted in an exhibition game between the Chattanooga Lookouts and the New York Yankees. She made history by striking out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig before walking Tony Lazzeri.

I'm playing a two-way player and after my best pitching outing (15 K 0 Hits 0 BB 0 ER) I still am only getting a B for my grade. How the hell does this make any sense?!?

I've gotten the Slugger set. I'll have to double check what they are when I get home.

So for slugging trio of cards (Power and Fielding/Contact/Speed) the primary attributes increase by 45.

@PushedSatsuma2 said in Has anyone gotten any of the archetypes to diamond yet?:

@Frankdatruetank Thank you! If you have the time, what about the secondary and tertiary attributes?

The showboat raises secondary attributes by 40 and tertiary attributes are boosted anywhere from 5 to 40.

The Duke raises secondary by 35 and tertiary by a range of 20 to 40.

The Anomaly raises secondary by 39 and tertiary by a range of 20 to 40.

Durability is the only one of the tertiary attributes that gets the 40 boost on all 3.

The progression is broken for pitchers in general, not just 2 way players.

Just delete the RTTS save file and start a new career. Since your player is no longer accessible outside of RTTS, it's existence is directly tied to the RTTS save file.

For me it's just I gotta move the left thumbstick to the circle and press the random assigned button (on Xbox it's A,B,X,Y). Which is fairly simple and you can always do it before time runs out.

Yeah. At the end of the game I've gotten a lot of "player had a good outing going 1 for 5" when I only had 3 or 4 at bats or total plate appearances.

Currently in June of my 3rd season with my female 2 Way player (Reds 2026). 2B Mia Lewis got called up late June of 2025 only to get sent back down after Spring Training. In my first 2 seasons: 2× Home Run Derby Champion, 2× NL All-Star, NL Rookie of the Year, 2× NL MVP, 2× NL Cy Young, 2× NL Batting Title, 2× NL Home Run Champion, 2× NL Strikeout Champion, 0 NL GG (competing against Pitchers leaves 0 room for a fielding error), 0 NL Silver Slugger (can't seem to make the DH list no matter how well I out play Shohei Ohtani), 2× Post-season MVP and 2× WS MVP. After my Rookie season, I've only heard from my agent in May and August of 2025 and May of 2026. All 3 times have been practically the same check in conversation that usually starts by informing of my status as Strikeout leader and goes to the normal 2 way player questions. 2025 had our worst pre-season projection of finishing 3rd in the NL Central, yet we had the best pre-season FA signings by picking up Juan Soto to play RF when I'm assigned as the DH.
