I like it when you're pitching and there is a high pop to the grass just beyond the infield dirt and your 2B doesn't move a muscle while your RFer is tearing in but has no chance on it.

Dude that was super, after I fumbled around for a little bit they both worked. Thanks again.

@Hot_Rod510 said in Getting traded....EVERYTIME:

I had this issue before as well but figured out a way around it by saving the season prior to the offseason and if I do get traded I can just delete that version and go back to the saved on. You may have to do it a couple times but that worked for me. Also turning down your trade slider at the bottom of the Sliders tab should help too.

And exactly how do you do either of those two things - move the trade slider and save a season? Sorry, I'm new.

Thanks, that's some great tips. I just got traded in year two and am really pissed, I couldn't reset as it happened mid-series.

I have redone my suggestions posted above in light of recent developments.

1. If you're doing well with your current team then they shouldn't be arbitrarily trading you. That's the whole point of letting you pick your team. For the moment those victimized by this can push the trade frequency slider to the left and save your team frequently in Data Utilities.
2. Return of the ball trails from 19, so you can actually distinguish the ball from the infield dirt when you're playing 3B.
3. Similarly, tone down the light backdrop in some parks so you can see the pitches coming in during the day and early evening. It's like trying to bat with a spotlight in your face.
4. Allow you to contact your agent when things get really crazy.
5. Allow you the option of letting the AI manage your running when you get on base. Base running can be sometimes difficult and usually tedious, particularly with a bad hitting team. Don't turn down (or turn off) the team hitting when the human player gets on base.
6. Add real accomplishments to Events & Awards, like 4 HRs in one game, Perfect Games and No-Hitters
7. Get those guys who waggle their bats out of my pitching meter area!
8. Leave the hitting info up longer once you leave the box, by the time you can look it's gone.
9. I don't need to see the pitcher try to pick off the runner on first four consecutive times. Save the pick-offs for when the runner gets caught or there's a throwing error.
10. Give me something for hitting between Veteran (too easy) and All-Star (too hard).
11. A batting clutch failure should be -1, not -2. Dude, doing the job 1/3 of the time is way above par. It's why batting clutch doesn't rise as your career progresses, unlike other ratings. Pitching clutch works correctly.
12. I'm tired of drilling an obvious double down the line, no threat of it being caught, and sliding into the feet of my teammate at second base. The base running has to be more aggressive then it is, no excuse for a runner to be there.

OKAY, that makes sense thanks.

So I'm sure this is a stupid question, but when I'm on the mound and I want to throw to first what do I do? The instructions say L2 + 0, but all that does is give me the option for an intentional walk.

I think you should say how you REALLY feel about The Show 20 instead of holding back.

That's a great question, I would say:

1. return of the ball trails from 19, so you can actually distinguish the ball from the infield dirt when you're playing 3B
2. also from 2019, show a few more balls traveling down the line, even if they go foul, geez add a little suspense
3. better judgment on pitcher relief so the manager doesn't freak out when you're up 2-1 and somebody gets a bloop single on you in the 7th
4. allow you to contact your agent when times get really tough
5. allow you the option of letting the AI manage your running when you get on-base, I find that difficult and tedious; in the alternative, eliminate the huge lag when changing directions in the baseline.
6. add real game accomplishments to Events & Awards, like 4 HRs in one game, Perfect Games and No-Hitters
7. cut down on the team personnel turnover that seems to get worse the longer you go into the future, where it seems from one year to the next only one or two daily starters remain
8. make available more statistics for your past RTTS seasons - for example, you should be able to access league category leaders and award winners, as well as the World Series results and your team's record, back to 2021
9. make it so that the other teams' pitchers don't hit 30 points higher than the other hitters against me
10. allow more scoring when the human player gets on base, the AI seems to prefer strikeouts, popups, DPs and an occasional walk once you get on base
11. get those guys who waggle their bats out of my pitching meter area!
12. leave the hitting info up longer once you leave the box

BTW, I have a really fun pitching career going at the Veteran level and recommend it to anyone, it's more satisfying to me than facing the vagaries of hitting on The Show.

That sucks about shortstop. My son taught me the thing about not saving after a catastrophic event, just cutting out and coming back in before the blow hits and seeing what happens the next time as many times as you need. When I first started playing I just couldn't orient myself on the Showtime throwing, and made about 40 throwing errors in 60 or so games at 3B. I made it to the Bigs before I corrected my throwing , and they didn't force me to move. I find at least in 20 when they ask you to make a move you can say no and they'll live with it, but maybe that requires playing at a certain level. Good luck, I hope to see you out there soon at short with the dark blue D hat on.

trophy room is a great idea, I want one

That was a great one. I've been playing NL but I seem to recall that about Fenway.

Particularly with the backdrops on some fields, day games are more challenging than they should be and there should be some adjustment.

I bounced around at the beginning of my career statistically but I have found pitching to be a better experience at the veteran level than as a hitter. In my current successful career I think I spent a season as a reliever for the big club before they gave me consistent starts.

Depends where you were in your windup, that is, whether you had made that last punch on the controller. If so, it could project anything out. When pitching particularly it sometimes seems certain outcomes are scripted or, maybe more accurately, it makes it very difficult to avoid the outcome the AI wants. But that's probably a different issue than yours.
