Really depends on the game modes you play. Eg RTTS good up to 17, not so in 18-19, good in 20, tanked in 21 and conceptually good in 26 but bug ridden.

Franchise similar experience.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL unfortunately it's more complex than that; they would open themselves up to possible litigation if they turned to the community for unpaid product development. It's the same reason that TV writers (for example) don't ask fans for ideas.

There is no licensing fee to make a stadium. There would be a license fee to use the trademarked ads and the stadium name itself. But, an exact copy of the stadium could be put into the game with zero licensing fees required. Yep, it won't feature the exact name as the real stadium, but is that really what makes the difference?

Edit: it looks like 22 stadia can be reproduced without infringing upon IP but the other 100 or so would require a contract to avoid copyright infringement

@JenkinMeyer_PSN put a Milo on him

@Ditka06-_MLBTS which of the employees who have to deal with the abuse on the forums or livestreams or on X do you reckon earns millions (or even comes close?)

@TonyLuke48_PSN Are you playing online or offline? I went from Franchise to playing Ranked Seasons for a while (just to get the Plat trophy back in TS19) and I noticed that in Ranked a single press of the baserunner button didn't select the runner, it had to be twice pressed so I ended up getting into the habit of double tapping the button before the directional arrow.

Maybe that's still happening. I haven't really played online since so I don't know. If you're playing online give the double tap a go.

In classic/buttons base running it’s press the button to select the runner (eg circle for runner on 1st) then directional arrow button to send him (eg left arrow for sending to 3rd). It becomes instinct once you get used to it.

Hopefully this helps.

Please tell me you're just being facetious and you know who Pete Rose is.

Please?

The cut scene probably refers to him as such in the same way the all time records screen does, as well as SF Giants holds the career HR record not Reggie Stocker.

Well you posted in the Diamond Dynasty section of the forum, so you're probably looking in the wrong place if you want to avoid DD posts. Just change the filter from All Categories to any of the other categories if you want to see the other sections' posts. The RTTS and Franchise ones are usually good value. Operation Sports has a good MLB The Show forum too.

Bit the bullet and bought the Edge based on the info in this thread - thanks everyone

Gotta say the simple switching between custom button profiles is simply awesome - have set up three profiles with R2 as the swing button - power, normal and contact hitting (plus default) and switch between them mid plate appearance at the tap of their swing button (whilst holding the function button). That feature alone makes it worth the extra spend.

Highly recommended.

Starting to get super annoyed with the ridiculous CPU plays in RTTS. I've mostly avoided RTTS since TS20. I know it's always had an issue with creating plays for the RTTS player just because, but this year it seems beyond crazy.

As an outfielder - waaaay too many runners tagging up to take 3rd on a fly out.

As a first baseman (this is where it's just plain insane):

• Inappropriate bunting: biting my tongue to this point... then top of the first vs Yankees, 2 out; then one after the next: Chapman bunts to 3rd for a single 1 RBI, Bellinger (yes, Bellinger!) bunts to catcher for a single, Wells bunts to pitcher for 3rd out.

• Inappropriate steal attempts: waaaay too many runners with below 40 speed attempting to steal 2nd. I used to RTTS as a catcher back in TS20 and this was prevalent then).

• Absolutely ridiculous turns at 1st: batter hits a single to right, the runner from either 1st or 2nd is going to score (that's fine), I get the QTE cutting off the throw and most of the time am unlikely to get an out at the plate but I know the batter is going to 2nd 100% of the time and sure enough the batter takes the turn at 1st and heads to 2nd. Sometimes I get the out, sometimes not, but that batter simply has no place attempting to get to 2nd. There is no situation in real life that would ever happen (without the batter being benched the next game anyway).

I've just installed update 7 so there may be some improvement but I'm not holding my breath... all of these seem like they happen so that my RTTS player gets some fielding opportunities, however they are laughable and just detract from the game's realism.

What is the experience of other RTTS players?

You may be the only person on the forum ever to ask for something to happen slower in this game

Didn’t even know this was an option - thanks!

How do you find it goes with check swings - seems with X sometimes I put my finger through it and it calls it a check swing, other times all I have to do is think about pressing it and it calls it a swing. This has been the case for years for me. And it’s not dependent on which player either - I’ve exclusively played RTTS this year.

If R2 is more consistent I’m making the switch immediately!

Here's the sim screen info I was referring to. My starting overall is 60, my current is 67 but it then says my current overall is 53.

From memory, 53 was what my OVR was when I started in AA in the current year (promoted to MLB just before all star break).

I’ve noticed that the ‘tutorial’ type info on the sim screen says my OVR won’t go below 53, even though it says 68 or something on the screen behind it. Or something like that. I wonder if it’s just simming from the player’s starting attributes for the year instead of the current attributes, now that both are stored.

Why was your team deducted a run in the last few innings?

Are you saying a perfect/perfect hit resulted in a pop up? That sounds like it deserves a bug report. That shouldn’t happen.

I’ve been playing this game for 18 years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a double play quite like this

I’ve never seen it happen this way in a real life game either

For what it's worth, in RTTS it's showing league leaders (eg HRs) and projections

'Non-user-controlled at-bats' could mean anytime the user isn't controlling the pitcher in a non-simulated game. eg if the user is batting, or is player locked as a baserunner or fielder.

@genopolanco_PSN a month is not a long time in the world of software development, especially the first month post-release. I too hope the things you mention are fixed (CPU base running is dreadful and unrealistic but I don't think that one's going to go away) but unfortunately we can't expect them to be fixed in one month unless they were already on the to-do list.
