Look.. I know the Rockies are bad.. but the ratings of thes players are down right disrespectful. It’s not just this year. It’s been like this for years. SDS sucks more than any other sports game with their ratings

Former MVP - 62 overall
Multiple time 10 game winner - 59 overall
A bullpen arm - 52 overall. Good lord a RTTS player starts with a higher rating then that

It’s fn frustrating. I’m not saying they need to be high, but the overalls are disrespectful.

Also, another roster update tonight and their roster is STILL wrong. Justin Lawrence was released a month ago

People have been asking for this stuff for years.. I’m losing hope that it will ever happen. Connecting it to DD sucks. It blows my mind that they thought this was a good idea

I would settle with just going back to the way RTTS was in the earlier years of the show

It indicates risk. You can go for the catch but risk it getting by you

1. Defeats the purpose of RTTs. Players don’t control front office moves. Maybe adding input could help

2. Meh, the showcase was pointless and tedious, I’m glad they got rid of it. My guy was drafted in the third round this year..not exactly late

3. Agreed

4. I may be in the minority but I hate the load outs. I hate the perks. That’s not how real baseball works. I think any perk should be situational (like stat boost after the 7th for example), and it should be your play that gives you those perks. I haven’t played RTTS in a couple years, but they basically make you play with the perks. They used to not impact as much, so you could play without them if you wanted. My guy is a 45 overall with no perks after one full season, a 75 overall with them.. a 30 point difference in overall because of perks seems a bit excessive

RTTS used to be the standard for all career modes in sports games. Combine the lack of innovation in YEARS to the progress other games have made, and it’s fallen behind.

In my opinion, there are two changes that can put it back on top, and they kind of tie together.

1. Make signing a contract mean something. Get game checks, use the money to buy attribute points or perks etc. (similar to NBA 2k)

2. I think a central hub (like a house) would put it back on top. In the minors you have a trashy apartment. As you make more money and progress you upgrade up to a mansion. They basically already have a hub with the locker room, just change that to the house

Each house will have different ways to view your career highlights. A trophy case (or multiple) for all awards such as individual and team awards (MVP, PoTW/M, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, World Series rings etc.

Maybe another case where you store your balls from milestones (1st hit, 1st HR etc.)

There’s a lot more you can do it with it.

My big problem with RTTS is it almost feels like each game is forgotten the next day.
