@Dolenz_PSN don’t give me that.. it’s not a low class insult it’s a response to a post ridiculing people for voicing their complaints.

@Player99_MLBTS demanding a better product then what they’ve giving us for the last ten years is a valid complaint. Get off you pedestal

People paid money for the game and it’s not living up to their expectations. They can voice their issues without wasting their money by not playing a game they paid for

Are you really just going to get on your knees and open wide for SDS? Gtfoh

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL actual control of the franchise.

Controlling things like prices, ability to relocate, build new stadiums. Really what I want is more realistic training that’s not broken, better ai management logic, far better and more immersive scouting (at least they tried this year, still sucks though)

But you know what.. you do have a point. Franchise mode itself isn’t terrible I just want more. My real issues come down to the game in general. The graphics, the gameplay, the announcing. It’s all so outdated

@JackD290_MLBTS I promise you.. that’s a you issue and you’re clearly pressing the button differently

@AGLOVESFUTURE_PSN please no

@Zachtronics_XBL lol or you can not let it bother you… people are aholes and will always be. There’s too many more important things to worry about

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL you consider those major changes? Those are things that should have been implemented years ago

It’s cool you’re enjoying it. To be fair I’m enjoying my time with it as well.

The problem I have is the lack of updates.

First of all the graphics. I know this isn’t important, but they have not updated the graphics in at least 16 years. How are we still experiencing PS3 graphics in a ps5? Yes it may be smoother, but this game should be far better graphically.

The lack of innovation in franchise mode. We haven’t seen real updates to this version in 15 years. So much of what’s in the mode is still broken or undercooked. How are things not more immersive from an owner perspective? Setting prices, upgrading facilities, ability to build new stadiums, new teams etc. just so much left out

Finally the most annoying thing for me is the announcers. They’re SO repetitive to begin with. I understand that theres only so much they can do to add variety, but man they say the same things every game. Also, they’re just flat out wrong all the time. For example, I’m at a point in My franchise where they’re talking about league leaders, and I have two guys on my team where they’re constantly talking about how they’re among the leaders in Home runs and best power hitters in the league. Both of them I have less than 10 HRs with… there’s multiple guys with 20+ HRs at this point. That’s just an example.. there’s plenty other they get wrong. Honestly I just miss the Matt Vasgersian days

You may not want to trash the devs.. but I will.

They only care about DD. They’d get rid of all other modes if they could.

You say graphics are stuck in the ps4 era? The graphics haven’t been updated since the ps3. Look at screenshots of MLB 10. It’s basically identical.

RTTS has regressed. It was the career mode every other sports game used as inspiration. It has since regressed. I don’t need some story thrown into it like NBa 2k tries to do, but the stupid text conversations with agents and managers is very outdated.

I’m primarily a franchise guy and this mode has had no significant updates in over 15 years. How is training still broken? Why is the trade logic @$$ still despit it “being improved” every year. How do we not have more immersion as owners with things like setting prices for various things?

Diamond Dynasty ruined this game and I will die on that hill

I dunno.. I find legend far easier this year than in previous years.. I’m not sure what it is.. maybe I’m just getting better.. maybe they nerfed it a bit with GOAT.. but I averaged just over 3 rpg last year in my franchise..I’m over 5 this year (much smaller sample size as I’m only about 45 games in)

I’ve always felt pitching was a bit too easy on legend. For me it’s typically the one big inning in a game that will cause me to the lose. If I can avoid that, I like my chances. I don’t typically have games where I give up a big number spread out across all 9 innings

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

John sterling is awful

I think that means boost up the difficulty.. I don’t get how is that even fun?

Honestly.. hasn’t been good for nearly 10 years now..

It used to be the best career mode in video games by a mile, since about 2011 or 2012 it’s fallen behind with lack of improvements. The changes they have made have only made it worse

I know perks and equipment give you ratings boosts, I just don’t like that they HAVE to be used. I’d rather have my player develop naturally rather than arbitrary perks and equipment giving me stat boosts that don’t make sense

How do they not make sense?
If you wear cleats, don't you run faster than if you wear loafers?

Also, they don't have to be used. You can choose to not equip them. I think you can still reach a rating of around 80 without archetypes and perks.

The not making sense was more directed to the perks than equipment, however.. no I don’t think having one type of cleat over another really impacts speed that much, we’re not comparing it to wearing loafers. Do you really think a silver perk should increase my contact attribute by 39? The other smaller perks that increase it a few points are fine, but that main perk seems a bit excessive. I’d just rather develop my player rather than rely on perks pulled from packs

As I stated I’m at the cap, or just south of the cap for all of my attributes. My lowest attribute is a 40 for bunt/drag bunt, and my only other attributes that aren’t at the cap are power l/r (both at 49) discipline (43), durability (47) and vision (47). My guy is a 57 overall without the perks (equipment still on).. maybe those get me to 80 when capped, though I’m doubting it

I think I'm starting to understand. You are talking about the archetype instead of the perks. The perks are the ones that only raise it around 4 points on a few different attributes. Think of the archetype more as choosing what type of ballplayer you are. The old system had "The anomaly" which was a fast power hitter similar to Griffey. That is actually an archetype on here. It starts out as "speedy slugger," then turns to gold "speedy slugger," then finally, gold and diamond "The Anomaly." Archetypes add points to attributes similar to the old system with their upgrades instead of just being faster to upgrade. Press the triangle button with the archetype highlighted and you'll see that every attribute has been raised according to that archetype.

I apologize if I'm coming off as condescending, I don't mean to. My wife used to get on me about that.

No, didn’t come off as condescending.. I figured it was me not being clear. Yes I meant archetype, I actually figured out what that was a few days ago. I still don’t like it much though, I prefer the old way of progressing. Oh well

Can your attribute caps not go above 50? I haven’t really played rtts in a couple years, but you used to be able to train to raise the caps.

So I can’t do it now, and at the end of the second year of my career, my guy is basically done improving (outside of useless attributes like bunting)? What’s the point?

Yes I can use perks, but they’re ridiculous. One of my silver perks gives like a +30 contact and speed? I’m failing to see the point of archetypes if every attribute cap is at 50 and I can just get perks by opening packs

Kind of a shame.. I was really starting to get into it too

You can have 2-4 perks depending on your archetype level. That added to your equipment and what you have built up from 30-50 should get you over 100 in a few categories. So it would be 50+archetype+perks+equipment. We just can't level each attribute to 100 anymore like 20 and before. At least this year you can save up to 10 careers and all archetypes and perks earned will still be available. You just still have to start from the beginning on attribute points.

I know perks and equipment give you ratings boosts, I just don’t like that they HAVE to be used. I’d rather have my player develop naturally rather than arbitrary perks and equipment giving me stat boosts that don’t make sense

@tonythetiger2k16 said in About to start rtts:

If you played any baseball or softball in real life within your school or neighborhood league. Then what ever position you played should be the 1 you should do RTTS with because it will be the position you are most familar with & will enjoy most.

It all depends. I was an outfielder through college, and I really don’t like the outfield in rtts. A lot of “fielding opportunities” that just slow down the game. Like watching home runs etc
