I couldn’t stand Plesac and DeRosa last year. Don’t really like them in live broadcasts either. I will say at least it’s not Pat Tabler. As a Jays fan I have to sit through an entire game where he has to repeat what Dan Shulman or Buck Martinez say. Or he will make sure you know that so and so really looks like a ball player.

Haha! I laughed out loud when I read that. As a lifelong Jays fan, listening to Pat call a game like he’s a confused old man stumbling around a baseball stadium in his bathrobe talking to anyone who will listen to him, I am so glad to hear some different voices in the Show. Shame about Buck, but having Dan Shulman in the booth is a welcome change and he would be a great voice in a game like this.

The weirdest one for me was playing a game at Camden Yards and they were talking about a homerun going over the iconic ‘Green Monster’, and how much they loved Fenway.

Every time I start RTTS, and I access ‘My Ballplayer’ for the first time, all of the tutorials run again. Plus, it will not let me select a different archetype on-the-fly when entering a game until I access ‘My Ballplayer’ and go through all of the tutorials. This is only when I start RTTS for the first time in a new playing session. After that, it’s fine until I leave RTTS mode or restart my console.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes. This is happening to me as well. Even when you select a different archetype/loadout it’s not changing when you first start RTTS. Same issue last year.

Same for me. My fairly common last name (which is also a first name) is not in the game and it has always been there. I am hoping they add more with an update. So many names missing.

@bhall09_psn said in Pinpoint pitching worth it?:

So, how are people feeling after a few days. Do you like pinpoint pitching? How's it going for those that use it? Have you gotten used to it?

I didn't think I would like it, but after spending some time with it, it has really paid off. I feel like I have way more control. I had to get used to holding the stick at the top of my motion before bringing it down to complete the pitch, but I am slowly starting to get more blue lines (and less yellow). Some YT vids helped me figure it out as well.

I am using a PS4 if that makes a difference - as I understand there is a difference between the controllers. The biggest takeaway for me was making sure I did my best to 'push' the stick to the outside when completing the circular motion. Even if I stop past the top point and am not in the circle (within reason), I am still able to achieve 100% accuracy...most of the time. Obviously YMMV depending on the difficulty level. I am on All-Star, so it's definitely more forgiving than some of the higher levels.
