IMO, Its really about the team your on and who they have in front of you at that position.

The promotion aspect is absolute trash in the game. I won the triple crown in Triple A, wasn't invited to spring training as a CF. I was tied with the back up CF and only a few away from the starter. To make matters worse, I was a two way player relief pitcher with 0.78 era. I accomplished a similar feat the following year and was not called up. The next year I was finally given a contract as a MLB player and got to go to spring training.

Another way the game screws you. Has happened to me as well, your exact scenario. Just have to deal with and when he turns his back, give him the finger.

I would chalk it up to bad luck and not any nefarious plan on SDS's part.

If I remember correctly it does not save during the simming of the offseason. So when you restarted if it had to sim again differences can happen. maybe the resigned a player or signed a free agent that they did not do on the first attempt.

Sadly this is the reality as nothing I've done works to even gets me into even participating in Spring Training.

Just sign it you will get in spring training, proof yourself and you will be called up

Actually this is the problem. I did sign it and I never got to play in Spring Training. This is my point. I want to prove it there, but I instead get sent back to the triple A team and don't get to participate at all in Spring Training.

I just finished my season in MLB 21 and finished in the minors. I led the league in homers, RBI and doubles and was second in batting avg. The guy in front of me on the MLB roster is one point ahead of me.

I simmed the off season and was offered a contract as an MLB starter. Playing my first game in spring training, we lost power and my PS4 shut off. When I logged back on, it took me back to before the off season ended. The only contract offer I can now get is as a Triple A starter. What gives? I tried to reload 24 times and keep getting Triple A starter, something seems off to me.

Thanks, I had no choice but to start over due to the lost saved data. I will watch and take all the suggestions as I go forward with the new player.

Of the ones mentioned, 17 for me.

I was playing spark plug bronze and I was playing CF. I do fielding and batting. I checked on the other saves and tried loading a variety of different ways, but nothing seems to work. My player is reverted to Joe Random, everything is gone and it reverted me back to entry level stats.

Well to make matters worse, after tying this out, I went back to play a game and my entire stats now reset to 54 instead of 63. All of my stats are gone, my player name is Joe random. Even when I manually load the file, this happens. This has been such a horrible experience. I decided to give the game an upgrade as the last time I upgraded was in 2017. It seems things have gotten worse, not better. Truly disappointed.

This is for MLB 21 the show. So if I understand correctly, you need to have an certain overall score to get promoted to the bigs. Ok no issue with that, however, my issue is my leveling process. Here is my situation.

I am currently and level 63 and have been after playing for 4 months of the season. I am hitting over 300 and have 20 plus homer and about 80 rbi's. Another player (CPU) had a 54 rating when I was at 61, about 1/3 through the season. He is now at 62 overall. I have a much higher batting average, he is 262, many more homers, he has 8, more rbi's, he has 41 and just plain better across the board yet he is growing much faster than me. What gives and for that matter why does my player grow so slowly in comparison and in general. At this rate, it will take me about 4-5 seasons to get into the show.
