I'll start by saying this: it's entirely possibly that I just suck.

But.

Why is it as soon as I begin playing for a team in RTTS (I'm a SS anomoly) they team immediately begins giving up 3-6 runs in the firtlst three innings, can't hold a lead for anything, and the rest of my lineup is just worthless?

I'm playing for the red Sox. Year 7 of RTTS. 4 pitchers in the high 80s ovr to low 90s. All of them have ERAs in the mid sixes to high 8s.
Only one other player has a BA above.300 (Bogart) were 4 games under 500 woth a lineup that includes Bogarts, myself (99 ovr, 99 pwr, 80+contact), Alonso, Yelich at the heart with Odor (as a 90) batting 9th.

Half of my games, I'm down by 3-6 runs before I even step to the plate once. It seems like another 1/4 of my games, we struggle, fight back to tie it up or take the lead late just for the other team to pop another 5 runs on the board.

Weve only won two series' all season, and the team I previously played for (Seattle) with no changes to their line up or pitching staff (other than me) are 8 game above 500 while for 3 seasons with the team, the closest we ever got was 10 under (in my first year there.)

Something feels way off.

So, I'm in year 2027 in RTTS.
Last night, in the same game, I broke Rickey Henderson's 1982 single season steal record of 130 and I broke the 1930 single season RBI record or 191.

The announcers didn't say anything. After the steal, they did a normal highlight and nothing else, and after a double to drive in the run, they commented on the pitching coach going to the mound to talk to the pitcher.

Stats and records are more important to baseball than any other sport and it's highly disappointing to see records that have stood for nearly 100 years fall and not a word is mentioned in game about it.

It's odd, and honestly pretty stupid, that for 400 HR, (in the 5th inning of a regular season game) there's an I game moment where my player takes a curtain call, his whole team greets him at home plate, yet for these huge monumental records, not a single word.

Please fix this for next year.

This is honestly the most disappointed I've ever been in this game.

R1 was last year, and according to the controls, it should still be now.
It's not working.
L2 works for broadcast, but changes the angle which throws me off.

I've also noticed that sliding seems broken. The right stick doesn't seem to affect the type of slide at all.

I play a SS in RTTS. Every infield shift, left or right, I am stuck standing in my normal position, and I cannot move pre pitch to get in position for the shift.
Without fail, 90% of the time, the batter puts a ground balls directly where I should/would be.

This is stupid and frustrating and I, and others, would very much appreciate it if you could patch this and make it either shift us correctly, or, allow us more time and freedom to move pre pitch into position manually.

@papafat said in Shift problem:

Year after Year and it never gets fixed

I honestly wish we could turn off infield shifts. If this problem isnt going to fixed, then at least they could prevent it from happening.

It's infuriating.

Yeah, something is off with hit timing lately.
Not sure what, but I've never hit so many foul ticks, pop ups and choppers to short.

I've been ranting about this for a week. It's brutal.

It just anniys me that hr milestones are covered, but all time records in other categories aren't.

Baseball is about stats and history more than any other sport and missing on those moments is a huge miss for this franchise.

At 32, overall 99, ridiculous stats, best player in the league blah blah blah, I just signed a 10 year 3 million dollar deal.

Yep. $300k per year because I want my team to have the most money they can possibly have to sign more free agents.

Cobtract amount need to have some kind of reward or benefit.

I never have a problem with regular pick off attempts, but that fast pick off attempt while on second is just flat out impossible to beat back to the bag, even without an increased lead off.

I would like something to do with my contract money.

Sure, I get offered 8 years at $280+million, but why take it? You're just ducking that team out of beaing able to sign other players.

You get nothing for your contract money.

So how about a system of in game contract dollars to stubs to buy equipment/cards to use in RTTS?

Maybe a ratio of 1:10,000 you'd get 1 stub for every $10k in contract money.

I have a feel as of the game gives our (non pitcher) player one or two moments per game to put our team in a chance to win.
If we don't capitalize on it, we lose.
I got drafted by the tigers (who admittedly suck the most) and we've blown so many 5-7 run leads, and countless 1 or 2 run leads, it's atrocious.

I've been complaining about this since the first week.

It happens so often, this is a clip of me, live on stream predicting EXACTLY what will happen.

This game almost always feel predetermined and that the opposing team always plays to the height of their capabilites instead of to an average of those capabilities.
Every game, every team I play plays their best game and my pitchers and teammates rarely ever do. It's infuriating.

It just feels as if something in the simulation algorithm says "oh, it's a user played game? Crank the opposition players to 99"

It just doesn't make sense how a Orioles team, full of 70's and 80's can outscore my Boston team (all 90s and 80s) 37-8 in a 3 game series, especially with my best pitchers on the mound.

I get if that stuff happened occasionally, that happens in sports, but this has been going on the entire season and just isn't fun to experience.

Yeah it's super frustrating because the broadcast of you Rose off your perception as to where your player is so now you have to hit the broadcast of you watch the ball and then try to watch the bases to see where you're at to make a decision it's just a pain in the [censored] I hope it gets fixed. I also opened us support email for this issue.
Thank you guys that made the mention of L1 for sliding. Made a huge difference
