I keep forgetting about this card. I’m going to give McKay a chance and see if I can do anything

@Critically03 said in What improvements do you want to see in RTTS for MLB The Show 21?:

Here is my wishlist

Player Creation mainly for pitching

1. Start off in high-school or college or even both and play some games there. I can't be the only one who is tired of the topps showcase where we can't even increase our overall. Save that for after you are done with highscool and college.

2. Start off with higher stamina. It is literrally the stat that takes the longest to increase 65 stamina is far too low.

3. Choose a second archtype to go along with the first so your stats look more like a top pitching prospect and not a [censored] because we to be the best in our draft class

4. Choose how fast you want your pitches to be. I don't think velocity needs to be a attribute anymore. Before you start you should be able to choose the velocity you want for each pitch. Obviously you and have a minimum and maximum velo for example a changeup you can choose from 76 mph to 88 mph.

5. Draft day. The draft screen is boring you should be able to go up put on jersey in front of people or watch from home.

6. Two way players. I don't personally care for this but we should have the option. Since now pitchers can't bat in the nl give us the option to make one.

Upgrades

1. Get rid of caps please it just slows down the progression of our player.

2. Choose multiple things to train and do it whenever you want to. The worst part about training you have three options. Fielding weights and bullpen or batting. The problem is you can only pick one. You should be able to do all three of them and choose what you want to increase not have it give you options and the thing you want to upgrade isn' there.

3. Another solution could be to hire personal trainers to help you upgrade. That way the money you make from your contract matters because you could sign for 15 years 30k a year and it would matter. The better the trainer the better your upgrades.

4. Off season training to keep your guy in shape as you start to regress.

Pitches

1. 88 mph change ups. Why is it not an option for created players every other mlb player can have it but not created one's.

2. Give us the outliner quirk. This is the issie of sd studios being too focused on dd l. That quirk that lets you exceed the max velo would be awesome to have in rtts espically with how fast guys are throwing sinkers these days.

Records

1. Team records both seasonal and all tome franchise records. There are enough lists with franchise rankings on the mlb at bat app alone I don't think this would be hard. We have been given the same records. Imagine you break your team season record and they play it on the jumbo tron you surpassed x person for the franchise record in home runs or something.

2. Playoff records basically the same as the one above.

Achievements

1. No hit tracker I remember when the game used to tell you that you acheived your first no hitter or your first perfect game and now it doesn't. Every time somebody gets a no no or perfecto it should tracked on a list in a seperate page with the name date and amount of ks. We currently have something like that with team records but it only displays the number and not the person or date.

2. Keep achievements on the back of the players baseball card. What I mean by this is when you go to the player card imagine you flip it over it shows you your season numbers but also the achievements you achieved and how many times you've done it.

Awards

1. Change the image for the mvp award. It's not even how it's supposed to look like the same can be said about the lcs and world series mvp ward update them ot shouldn't have taken this long to change that ugly looking trophy.

2. Add the platinum glove award. It's been around for a while. Shouldn't be too hard to have in the game.

3. Award ceremony during the off season where they present you your award and you can give a speech.

4. Fix the cy young award glitch. I have seen it in previous games but come on it's still there. Every home game I'm presented with the cy young award. I can win mvp and the triple crown but they give me the stupid cy young every time.

5. Pitchers should be able to win the lcs and world series mvp awards I don't know why they aren't able to.

Player and fan interaction

1. Interview. Give my guy a voice and let me give an interview after the game. Base on the personality I chose earlier on in my player creation that influences how I answers.

2. Change the setting for the playoffs. Interview after every game on at the table and not my locker.

3. Let me hype up the crowd after a big play or a big out something.

4. If I leave a team for money or force my way out if I come back to play aginst them fans should boo me out the stadium. One of the biggest issues for rtts is the fans. They sound lifeless and don't really enhance the experience. The playoff atmosphere should be insane.

Contract and money

1. Sponsorships i don't need to say anything else

2. Make my agent matter more. Maybe the more money I spend from and contracts and I make from my sponsorship I can get a better agent who will be better at contract negotiations and get me better trades.

3. Contracts. No trade clauses, higher deals shorter length not more 31 mil per year cap and opt out options.

Management

1. Influence. Maybe you want to play with a certain player you should be able to go to management and tell them to try and trade for them or sign them in the off season.

2. Request for management to not let certain players go. You want to keep someone tell them to keep em on the team no matter the cost. Tell them you'll take a paycut of necessary.

Team future

1. Pitching teammates barely improve. Their stamina always goes down and never up that definitely needs to change.

2. Player regression happens too quickly. Guys like nolan, trout, story and yelich regress too quickly by the age of 30 or 31.

3. The guys who win rookie of the year fall of the face of the earth they need to be able to build their potential more.

4. Position changes. If they want to take a guy out of the cp role fine he must be doing bad. But in the game it's always randomly that it happens and they replace him with somebody worse. At least change the positions of players if the cpu is gonna moce them out of a role

5. Team jersey retirement. It would be cool if this was added into the game.

6. More hall of famers please. Guys like greinke, Verlander and scherzer will most likely be hall of famers. Not in this game for some reason they never make it which is weird because before they would make it. Be a little more lenient to qualifications on who will make. Have a list too because if a guys doesn't retire with a team there is no way to track it.

This whole list is exactly what we need! We need a complete overhaul of rtts! Please give us back training points! No more of this cap on attributes/ archetype garbage. Make money of your contact matter, on the back of your player card show us our accomplishments! Give pitchers a chance to win WS or LCS MVP awards! More acknowledged stats broken by the announcers. Fix the trading sliders, get rid of the agent entirely because he’s completely useless. And again please bring back training points, the cap on our attributes destroyed this mode for me

@joemann9725 said in What improvements do you want to see in RTTS for MLB The Show 21?:

Can you please bring back the skill point and you can spend them how you want. I hate the progression system turned me off the game mode.

Yes! When they did this it totally ruined rtts for me! It’s so tedious, along with a cut scene every freaking series! Rtts used to be amazing but not anymore

@Bozzman0109 said in Popular Cards You Don't Like:

Miggy 99. Worst Version of his card ever.

As a Tigers fan, I wholeheartedly agree. I’m doing better with him now than I was when I made my “Miguel Cabrera is Disappointing” thread, but he is incredibly underwhelming.

Especially when he’s the first player to win the Triple Crown in 45 years. Smh SDS. Smh.

I always sucked with miggy up until last year in 19. I was hitting incredible with his card last year. But this year it’s been a big disappointment! They need to get Miggy in the mocap studio and create his actual swing! The batting stance guy or whoever SDS uses is terrible!

@TheGoaler said in what minor league team plays at shippet stadium:

To answer the question, the the Shippett Shipstains play there.....

I couldn’t have said it any better! These are exactly the type of changes that need to be made to rtts. Especially the skill points!

@smalltownkid1990 said in Got Bellinger, lineup might be done.:

If you don’t have Seager, your lineup is not done...

I have Seager but Machado has been killing it for me. I know i should replace Seager with Machado but then where to put Machado?

I’ve been running Machado at 3B, Tatis at SS, and Seager at 2B. Personally, Machado has kinda been underperforming for me. Seager, on the other hand, has been the best hitting card for me all year. But at the end of the day, just play who YOU are good with. Good luck!

Machado made an error for me at 3rd that cost me the game, so ever since he’s been sitting in my inventory. lol. And he wasn’t preforming for me too.

@JiggidyJJ said in Home hunting has become a real problem:

@MarinerMatt01 said in Home hunting has become a real problem:

I have not played a home RS game in awhile. It seems whenever I am selected as a home team lately, my opponent backs out. When I am the road team, I am playing a World Series player at Shippett. Are these the only players left? Op players in an op stadium seeking out any edge they can? I don’t know if there is a way to do it, but I’m hoping SDS figures out a way to prevent home hunting in next years game (as well as fixing certain stadiums, which would discourage this practice in the first place)

I heard there is a way to tell if you are the home team or not, anyone know what it is? I sure as hell don't.

if you scroll down the lineup. And if it’s laggy then you are the road team. If there’s no lag then you are the home team

I Played every single Team affinity for all 3 stages made me an insane amount of stubs and got a bunch of lucky pulls from all of the packs you get throughout team affinity. If it weren’t for TA I wouldn’t have made the majority of the stubs that I made. And I didn’t even work the market because I just don’t have the patience for it, & I suck at it, I really admire the people who do play the market and make a boat load of stubs

@MaxHarvest said in Sds did verlander dirty:

@MLBTHEJOE said in Sds did verlander dirty:

Verlander in 2011 even said that through the first 5 innings of a game he would only throw his fastball between 91 to 95 mph. Then from the 6th inning on he would crank it up to 96 to 100 plus mph! Everyone knows JV brought the 100 plus mph heat in the first half of his career. SDS obviously screwed up. The fact that they go off the average fastball velocity, when they gosh darn know Verlander could sling it 97,98,99,100, and ever higher consistently is criminal. And it’s blasphemous... and so disrespectful to one of the G.O.A.T pitchers

ESPECIALLY when they inflate tops now and future stars to such ridiculous levels, levels that will never be attained. Don’t then nerf actual legends and make them worse than they were in real life...... one of the best pitchers of all time. It must be a mistake , and needs to be fixed

Exactly! Thank you! What you just said says it all. Don’t nerf actually legends! for these future “busts” or “stars” and make these guys with 1 year or less off service time better than a future Hall of famer.

@the_dragon1912 said in 2nd base options?:

I don’t know how you feel about future stars cards but to be honest Gavin Lux is one of the top options at 2B

His swing is money. Back when I was playing showdown he was a monster. I’ve got his new diamond card, I better use it!

@gwm444 said in best starting rotation:

Fotf Al Leiter is sneaky good other than that paxtons great so is seaver and buehler

Yes, Leiter was very good for me early on when I used him, his delivery is great

@MLBTHEJOE said in 2nd base options?:

I run my created player at 2B with Mondesi stance. If you don’t want a Cap then Jackie it really good on both sides with the glove & bat.
I did run Betts at 2B for a couple games because I love his swing. He’s on the bench for my Cap though

DeGrom, Hershiser, Lamet, Walter, and Lance Lynn is surprisingly sneaky good.

@allmustfall16 said in Willie Mays...:

I can’t believe some of the complaints on here.. saying to “cut back” the ability to earn stubs without paying real money. Lmfao.

People will never be happy. They were perfect this year with content and how much they gave back. Oh well you can’t earn a few players and can’t buy them. Not the end of the world.

You are 100% right! This year SDS was perfect with how many stubs you could make. It was actually insane. And the content is top notch. I could wait in line and get Chipper or Mays, but that’s going to take forever. So instead of doing that I can just make my maxed out CAP at 2B have Chippers or Mays’ stance and fix the hight and weight. I know it’s not ideal but hey I can’t make WS so this is my best solution lol.

Cobb, Rollins, or Jackie for me recently. I’m close to getting 99 Lindor so I’ll try that for a few games

Roberto Alomar

Cobb is 100% the move. I’ve done great with Larry but Cobb is Cobb! He’s a hitting machine with 99 speed and 90 pop on both sides!
