Or even better, apply steeper and steeper penalties for REPEATED actions… whether that is bunting, or stealing bases, or high splitters or sinkers, or whatever other glitches and exploits are being abused.
One bunt at a key moment is strategy. A full team of repeated hunters is not realistic. A stolen base is great, but 10 stolen bases a game because of animation glitches, not so much.
Just severely punish repeated abuse of an action, put it an exponential reduction in success rate.
Everyone quit playing weeks ago because of all the bugs/glitches.
If this year’s model is an indication of where RTTS is headed then I won’t be buying future versions.
I quit playing a few weeks ago and haven’t even logged in on console.
I got bored with DD by the end of inning two. In previous years I could just build multiple RTTS players, with different characteristics and positions, and when I felt burned out on one I could switch things up.
The different archetypes all follow the same build paths and is just as boring as repeating multiple conquest maps and versus CPU games.
The company can create whatever type of game they want, but I don’t have to continuously blindly follow.
I hope they revert to previous RTTS options, until then good luck to all of you who somehow enjoy this year’s system.
I apologize if this has been asked previously, but is there any way to change the distance or shape of the backstop? I have tried everything I can imagine but can’t change distance or shape like the outfield walls.
I want a wild pitch to be WILD, not bounce directly back to the catcher to allow an easy out on advancing base runners.
I know you can change wall material but that doesn’t change the bounce back... at least none that I have used.
I also haven’t been able to change foul ground at all, just fair outfield walls.
Reduced XP if you change settings... but might be worth it.
I quit playing RTTS (previously my favorite mode) after I found out you can’t create new players and are stuck with “My Ballplayer.”
It didn’t help that I was forced to hit on Legend+ by June of my first season. Hitting 0.183 is not any fun, even if it is more realistic. The dynamic difficulty finally dropped me down to Hall of Fame and I went 4-5 with 3 HRs, back to Legend the next game and went 1-17 and haven’t played since.
I don’t understand why they reduce XP for changing sliders in RTTS but you get XP for play vs CPU on Rookie in DD... and advance My Ballplayer faster... and build toward alternate player cards. It is as if they don’t want people in RTTS anymore and want to shift toward DD only.
I wonder how much play on RTTS will drop now that they patched the XP sim glitch/exploit?
I hate that they totally ruined RTTS by removing multiple player builds this year. I don’t care what great plans they have for the future, if that feature isn’t reversed next year I will not buy the game. I don’t play online, won’t pay extra for the online subscription required, and can’t use my favorite mode.
I think part of the sacrifice/bunt issues are just very weak contact short ground outs (like a check swing chopper short of the mound,) being mislabeled as bunt/sacrifice. I have noticed that pop up occasionally playing a game, so it may just be the way those short/soft grounders are classified.
For me it is cleats. I have one set for pitcher load out and different for fielder/hitter load out. They will not stay that way. Every time I view the other load out the cleats change. I have reset it dozens of times.
I don’t play online (other than the tech test.)
I was addressing the RTTS question, but also hit much better with analog vs cpu and conquest. I am sold on that method and won’t go back to directional... but it took me a couple of weeks to remember stick instead of button the first game each day.
Absolutely. I did a bug report on this.
For me the cleats keep changing every single time I view a different load out. If I change and exit it stays, but if ever look at a different load out it changes the cleats... but not rituals. It is really weird it changes one but not others!
You can adjust the trade frequency in sliders, but then you lose half the XP. That was always the first thing I set in previous years but it is not an option if you want full XP... just another change to RTTS I absolutely hate. (Not allowing multiple players starting from scratch is still my number one frustration.)
I used directional for years, but switched to analog without stride in February. I hit MUCH better with analog and flick. I think timing is easier that way. You might give it a try in practice. It takes a little getting used to but I think stick reacts quicker than buttons.
You can change the color of gear in the minors. Just go to appearance and select equipment. Lots of color combinations are available for all equipment not just cleats.
I know you can at the beginning. I don’t know if you can add it that far in, but if they keep asking you to two way I assume it will be an option.
They just the old building for football... XFL and MANY high school games.
I don’t know about others, but I am not interested in stealing your intellectual property, but in order to play with a stadium (play vs cpu) it has to be uploaded to the vault by me.
That seems absurd, but when I save without uploading I get an error and notification that it must be uploaded to use.
I am sure this has been posted dozens of times but I can’t find a search feature.
My Ballplayer, Player Card - is listing incorrect positions for different load outs.
Is there a way to correct that?
(I have a starting pitcher, but listed as RP. When using in DD I cannot place in starters list. My primary is LF, but card lists 2B.)
I should not be paying for future product. I paid for this year’s game and have every right to expect it to work THIS YEAR.
I don’t know if it is possible, but perhaps instead of My (only) Ball Player they could make it My (current) Ball Player, so we could cycle through different player builds with different positions or pitches?
I agree 100%. They completely ruined RTTS. I used to enjoy the variety of switching to a completely different character when I started feeling burned out or bored. Now you are stuck with one option... even if you delete the previous character save files and try to start from scratch you are stuck with the same pitch options. I HATE the load out stuff, and I am beyond frustrated with equipment constantly changing when I am not watching... it seems like it keeps defaulting to some previous setting no matter how often I try to change.
I am also frustrated they didn’t make it clear you were going to be stuck with your initial choices all year. If I had known that I would have made very different choices up front.
That was a rule for 2020, no longer applies in 2021... some teams have five player bench, some have three in MLB.
