Myself, and at least several other users have a weird issue completely stalling our RTTS player promotion progression, and as it currently sits we'll never make it to the majors.

My RTTS player played a single position for 200+ AA and AAA games (Right Field) in the Met's organization, and during my AAA time the manager comes to me and tells me that at the majors, that position is filled in the organization, but he'll see what he can do about getting me my shot.

Afterwards, my manager changes my player's position in the lineup to First Base (for whatever reason) and immediately after he did so, my player was traded to the Rays organization as a Right Fielder.

After being traded, this new/wrong position sticks - and the new manager always pencils my player in the lineup in that position (First Base). However, before the first inning in the field, my player is immediately subbed out for a defensive replacement by the real first baseman. Regardless of what changes I make to my player's settings, he is always penciled in at first base.

Looking at the roster for the Ray's AAA affiliate, and I am listed as the only right fielder, and there is already a first baseman. When I view my player details outside of RTTS, it is listed as a first baseman now. The only time I get an at bat is if we are the visiting team, and if we make it to my spot in the order within the top of the first inning.

Because of this bug, even if I sim the entire season, I get at most about 20 ABs for an entire season - thus insuring that I never make it to the majors. I've posted to the subreddit, tweeted, and submitted a bug report. Just thought I'd post here for others who may have the same issue and to see if others have been able to get out of this loop. I have more than 8.5 hours in RTTS on this save, so this sucks.

TL;DR - A bug happens that swaps my player's position, and during that swap I am traded to a team that already has that position filled, so I never get to play. I am substituted out in the first inning of every game, and because of this the most ABs I get for an entire season is about 20, and I never get to play defense.

Im on my first RTTS on MLB 21, played every game up until the first all star break and then al of a sudden the CPU stopped throwing balls. Every single pitch since the break has been a strike. I sat the controller down for two full games, 8 at-bats, all were three pitch strikeouts. I had 7 walks through close to 40 games and then something change. It even seems harder to foul pitches off. I tried messing with the sliders but they didn’t seem to make a difference. I played a ton of MLB 17 and never had a problem. Played MLB 19 and this was the case from the start. Now 21 seems to have the same bug.

Anyone else seeing this?

You must raise the batting difficulty, I found this out myself. On beginner difficulty, every pitch is a strike.

Manager sends you in a terrible count, with slow speed... and you get caught, and it is your fault. This irks me beyond end. Like it sends me at the worst freaking times, and the catchers never make bad throws. I've stolen or tried to steal 60+ bases at this point, and the throw has never been offline - not once. Yet, when I throw to second, they are all over the place.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has always been terrible with customer service and community engagement. The problem goes back 20+ years at this point.
