@xxx-cypher-ooo_xbl said in RTTS 2-way bummers thus far.: I have progressed 10 games in a row after doing the following, including one game as pitcher. Both loadouts progressed accurately. I am afraid to quit the game and test that it works again, so I am gonna ride this will it's working and will edit/comment after I try to repeat the process. Do the DD one at bat technique as soon as you log on, and then... (if you don' know what it is, look it up, there are articles and youtube vids) Go back into RTTS, hit the BACK button (double square looking small button on xbox) that brings up a column of options on the left side of the screen. Go to inbox. Right bumper to settings. Last setting is "missions." Make sure this is on. optional - check your rtts progression numbers that are stuck and write them down. Play a game, but DO NOT EVER use the "sim to next appearance" option, whether it's the option that comes up after each play along with the "watch whole game" option, or the one in the pause menu with the 6 tabs at the top. a. after each at bat, if not on the bases, let it go to the screen with the lineups that show you each at bat. Hit B to skip to your next appearance. Go back to club house after each game. Not sure if this matters, but it's what I am doing. So, you have to do this dance just to get the game to work as it should? That seems....absurd.

Life's funny, ain't it?
I was waiting to get MLB21 until I could get a PS5 for regular retail price.
Now, I won't be buying MLB21 because they've screwed the pooch so badly so I won't need a PS5 since The Show is the only game I play.
Hey! I just saved $500!
Maybe I'll buy a new guitar....

No one..... literally no one wants to hear you play smoke on the water kid

LOL, that's funny. I'm 70 years old and I've been a professional musician for over 50 so, nice try.
No one.....literally no one gives a flip what you think, kid.

And your unwillingness to purchase a PS5, made somebody else VERY VERY happy.

Thank you for your service.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

Screwed the pooch? This game is great this year... Unless you're RTTS only

Well, yes, RTTS is the only mode I play. I'm out in the boonies and my internet connection is very slow so online playing doesn't work for me, and I'm not at all interested in DD anyway.
And from what I've read they've basically taken everything out of RTTS that made it enjoyable (at least for me).
If you enjoy the game, that's great.
I'm just saying for me, this year, I'll be saving money on my gaming. I'm disappointed because I was looking forward to a new version of a game I've enjoyed since 2011 on a next gen console but I expect I'll get over it.

I'm staying with 20. Better gameplay (at least right now), more realistic, more customizable, more immersive....more fun.

Absolutely spot on. I agree 100%.

I usually pre-order but I haven't bought 2021 yet because I was waiting to get a PS5. Turns out that was a good thing.
I'll just keep playing 2020 until it quits, I guess.
How sad.

@projectnemesisx_psn said in Submit Feedback Since SDS are not acting on this community:

I personally went back to mlb20 and won't play mlb21 till fixed and this is the last year that I ever pre order this game I hope they make rtts independent of dd (a mode in which not everyone likes) but also improves rtts for the better I have read plenty of post on different rtts forums written by the fans with great recommendations on how to improve rtts. So hopefully the devs will read them and take the suggestions and use them to make rtts amazing which is the only reason I play this game

This. Exactly.
I buy MLB The Show for RTTS. It's the only mode I play. I'm not at all interested in DD or any online play.
I'll play MLB20 until it quits working, I guess.
Maybe RBI will be worth playing next year.

I'm glad you found something that works for you but I'm not paying for a game where I have to do a complicated dance around the software just to get it to work like it's supposed to.
And I can't play a game that requires an online connection just to play, anyway. I live way out in the boonies and I'm on a DSL line. It took 26 hours to download MLB 20. Seriously. My connection drops all the time.
I'll sit this one out.

I'm glad I didn't buy The Show 21 because I live way out in the boonies and my internet is so bad I'd never get to play anything. And RTTS was the only mode I ever played.
Guess I'll stay with '20.

@dangerousskilz said in Don't be the the next 2k:

Yeah this game is all about Diamond Dynasty and money. You won’t complete programs unless you enjoy tho online trash and grind against other users. They can’t even update the rosters for MTO. Trying to get my money back. I’m a baseball fan not a fantasy baseball fan. This is fantasy baseball

Right. And I hate fantasy sports. And money grubbing companies that try to manipulate and rip off their customers.

@runn3rxc93_psn said in Not this year:

Sorry to hear about the disasters you've been experiencing..........
Also here's hoping ps5s become available in the near future.

Thank you.
I'm not counting on Sony to ramp up production any time soon. First off, they have no motivation, they know that PS5 fans will wait until they drop (either the PS5s or the fans) and second, even if they wanted to they can't get the chips to increase production (they say).

And it pisses me off that SDS would use the situation to rip off their customers. I've bought every edition of this game since 2011, and have had few complaints. But SDS knows that a lot of folks can't get a PS5 yet but want to play the new game right away. They also know that a lot of those players will only be playing the PS4 version for a month or two before they switch, yet they still charge a premium price to get both versions.

Maybe RBI will improve some, we'll see.

Well, looks like I wont be playing MLB The Show2021.
First off, where I live you can't get a PS5. And I won't pay scalpers prices. And I won't pay $99 to get the PS4 and 5 versions because....well, that's just a rip-off.
Secondly, from what I've seen this morning the launch of MLB 2021 has been a disaster, and I've had enough of that in my life lately. And apparently the devs have eliminated a lot of stuff that I liked about the game.
Gran Turismo, here I come.....
Sorry SDS, you screwed the pooch on this one.

@comebacklogic said in Am I the only one that has not pre-ordered?:

Not buying this year, ‘20 was appalling gameplay wise and I was bitterly disappointed that we had once again taken retrograde steps that were the exact opposite of what players had consistently asked for. I can’t reasonably expect SDS to get the game right based on their track record, they failed to improve the game when working exclusively with a system they were intimately familiar with, having developed the franchise on that hardware for a number of years and a multi platform, multi generation title with new features and cross play is surely far in excess of what the studio can comfortably manage, given they’ve barely managed to keep the game functional in years past. Even if the servers can manage to stay online consistently, which would be a mean feat in itself, there’s simply no way the gameplay will be well balanced, fluid and results predominantly based upon user input. It just won’t.

Then there’s the incessant patches which have been a constant menace every year, tending to tinker around with gameplay until the season is mostly over, preventing anyone from improving by practicing consistency, at which point they give up and work on hyping the next years version. I’ve run around this hamster wheel for over half a decade with SDS and this franchise and I’m taking a year off for now. I’d love to see them absolutely nail it and have a phenomenal year, but I’d also like to be a millionaire and bang a few supermodels and that probably ain’t happening either, if I’m realistic.

This.
Plus, I'm one of those who isn't going to order until I get a PS5. I know, I can play until yada yada.....
Don't want to, as simple as that.
