@x1DjSharp1x do u know why its doing this?

Why every time I click on Nike equipment I can never click on it to buy it? This is annoying, why is that ?

I second this. Im a 2 way player and my player doesn’t get rest days neither. Im a starting pitcher and catcher. Every few series your rtts player should get days rest. Hopefully they update it.

Why does this mode feel so stale? It just feels like I see the same issues from previous years…

1. The cpu scoring in rtts is flawed. Why every time my player ties the game, the cpu magically scores 5-10 more runs to win the game.

2. The viewing angles in rtts looks weird after getting a base hit.

3. Agent STILL NOT available at any given time within the Rtts mode.

4. Looks like pitching and batting cameras aren’t customizable anymore.

There’s more issues but these are just the ones that stand out.

I hope they fix it as well

@AllRise99 said in This is all I'm asking for!!!!!!!!!!!:

@darkblue1876 There’s already a problem with that system. I’ve already seen my declining teammates be demoted late in their careers because of declining OVR ratings, like AARON JUDGE of all people!!! That would NEVER happen in real life!!!

Yeah this is a MAJOR issue in rtts. Players like Tatis, Machado, Judge should not decline that rapidly in their careers. Also the retiring system on rtts is dumb too. Why is a Judge retiring on the Pirates. Why is a player like Machado retiring cause of free agency issues? Rtts need smarter logic seriously!!!!

I used Xbox subscription a few months ago to play this game on their console and linked my the show account to it. But I have since stopped paying the subscription on Xbox and deleted the game off my Xbox Series X and turned on my PS5 and my PS5 version isn’t showing my diamond equipment in rtts or my stubs. All of my diamond equipment and stubs I earned originally on the PS5 when the game first came out. Also my RTTS character overall is wrong as well. Please help

Everytime I choose pitcher load out compression sleeve and glasses show up in game while I pitch. How do I fix this? Im a 2 way player

Why does the bat sounds when hitting the ball sound like a tennis ball being hit? They should’ve left the bat sounds how it was in 22

So he wont be in the game this year or what?

Why isnt he in the roster? Im trying to play rtts smh

Exactly RTTS is trash this year. They need to give us more on launch day this is not cool!!!

Only 13 minutes of Road to the show. Really SDS? That’s all we get no real changes to road to show at all besides a Face Scan and UI change. This is the most disappointing year ever for road to the show. And it shows y’all care nothing about the offline modes. You could’ve just cancelled this stream if it was going to be only 13 minutes. This is why Madden NFL is garbage because of stuff like this. Only caring about their money making dynasty mode machine. Ya’ll need to fix this and put a bit more effort into RTTS this is not acceptable. I figured this year would be disappointing when we realized the live streams were prerecorded. Ya’ll need to go back to the drawing board with RTTS. The same way ya’ll can release an update on launch day ya’ll need to fix some stuff about RTTS it’s pathetic. Sad what this mode has come too AND franchise. All hail to Diamond Dynasty for ruining the offline game modes. Thank you to online gaming in general for ruining video games.

General Improvements

• Better graphics. The player models and field look plastic. Feels like I’m still looking at PS3 graphics. Graphics need more life no offense.
• More player personality and emotions. Players interacting with opposing players while on base, players on field throwing up hand signs to indicate how many outs, players reacting to a bad calls, managers mouthing off at umpires, also show different facial expressions depending on the player and situation.
• Adjust offline user pitch speed for individual pitching animations. Often times some of the pitching animations take too long to release the ball. Speeding up pitching animations can help to not drag out a 9 inning game especially for Franchise and Road to the Show. Also feel like the pitching animations are a bit slower than in real life for major league pitchers.
• More sock height options. Players in the major leagues like Tatis with the socks being high only up to the ankles example: Greg Maddux.
• Better replay angles. I think replay angles from the side look better. Especially for batters and pitchers. Too many slowed down replays. Need normal speed replays. Balance it out.

Road to the Show

• Trophy room to show off awards and accomplishments like in a display case. Or in the stats section of your player.
• Salary and overall rating should be more meaningful. More money and high overall can show importance on a team like your role as a player and influence on team. Like maybe the manager respects your input on who should be signed, resigned, traded, etc.
• Talking to agent should be available at all times. In real life these players pay big money to keep a agent. Talk to agent about immediate release, ask for trade immediately.
• Talk to manager as well. On changing your position, your batting lineup #, suggest who to sign, resign, and who to trade for.
• More hairstyles and facial hair. Like bald guys beards should be a smooth gradient fade into the head not a straight cut off beard that is only meant for players with hair
• We need Tattoos please. Use the logo creator and logo vault for tattoos if you worried about copyright issues.
• More jewelry for example: earrings and different style chains like tennis chains and cuban links. Gold color and diamonds. Pendants as well should be added too.
• Better trade system and retirement system. Often times big name players like Trout, Tatis, and Harper to name a few end up on random teams after their contract is over and they end up retiring on that team they don’t have a history with. It doesn’t make sense for big name players who had 6-8+ years of a big contact to be traded or signed to another team after their contract is up.
• Realistic scoring. As a positional player, SDS gives CPU a crazy unrealistic advantage of scoring runs. If you score 2 runs the CPU will score 4 runs in the next inning if not more. If you score 4 runs to tie it late in the game. SDS will let CPU score double digital runs to win the game and this is every game series. You have to literally hit home runs with bases loaded to defeat the CPU.

Road to the Show can get stale after awhile so having more customization for your rtts player and interactions with a agent and manager, talking to media can add to the immersion. Having stuff to do outside of playing on the field matters too instead of us staring at a rtts menu.

They really neglect this mode and only focus on DD and it shows. I have a issue with pitch selections not being assigned to the correct buttons during gameplay....

There's a glitch where if you choose certain pitching styles the pitch selection is messed up when you choose the pitches for certain buttons. During the gameplay the pitches are assigned to other buttons instead of the ones you assigned. Am I the only one????

For my ballplayer I accidently chose the wrong pitch. How can I choose my pitches again for my ballplayer in rtts? This is kind of annoying that they still don't let you choose your pitches in the menu area of rtts.

The main thing that makes rtts stale after awhile is lack of control. Often times it just feel like we on the field all the time or in the lockeroom/airplane. In real life it isn’t like that. MLB players can call/text their agent with any issues they have at anytime. In MLB players are also business men who sign endorsements/sponsorship deals.. As crazy as this sound I want to have influence as a teammate/role model. I feel like our rtts players have no say so in our career only the manager, organization and team.

@ayman718 said in Always stranded:

Why are the cpu hitters so inept anytime you get on base? I'm not even exaggerating the cpu probably strikes out 85% of the time anytime i reach base, regardless of the situation. What is this crappola?

Cause the way SDS has rtts set up they make our rtts player the clutch guy. Nobody on the team does anything unless they’re are a 99 in overall. I wish they fixed this. It’s a struggle trying to win when they make the cpu unbeatable. You can give your team the lead early in the game and they’ll make sure the cpu ties it or score runs late in the game, it’s always like that.

@MIW6667 said in MLB The Show ‘21 Wishlist:

I also agree with everything you have said. I also wanted to add the ability to also change your position in the batting lineup and suggest other player also

Yes that too, we just need more control over our players career. They limit us
