You can get out of having to play the two-way role. Once you get drafted by a team either randomly or one you pick. You will be asked about it . At this point you won't really be given a choice. You will play a couple games in the field and then you will pitch a game. After that game you will be asked if you want to continue as a dual player or if you just want to pitch or play n the field. I said play in the field Left Field Dodgers.

I m no longer in the Pitching Rotation but it still has starting pitcher has my secondary position which pisses me off. I did send a support ticket about that. yes I think the Universal player is idiotic. You should be able to create individual players for each road to the show series. There are many things wrong with this game.

They keep saying they made the game the way the community wanted it. I say horse hockey to that. If they did then why are there so many complaints

Like they have it so that if you use sliders you don't get XP I wonder how many people asked for that. Probably not that much. It was something added because they wanted to add it

The makers of MLB The Show 21 Sony San Diego Studio have claimed that they made the game the way we wanted it

I'm sorry that's a bunch of bull. I can't imagine that there were a lot of hardcore Diamond Dynasty Player or Hardcore Road to the Show players who asked for DD and RTTS to be tied in together

You have your diamond dynasty players who have no interest in road to the show. And you have your road to the show players who have no interest in diamond dynasty

But these people at Sony San Diego Studio decided that they and they alone know whats best

This used to be a fun game. Then a few years ago they added archetypes. and worse than that the stupid challenges that come up in road to the show games

If anything this year they should have gotten rid of those. I had one today as a Starting Pitcher. there was 2 outs the other team had runners on 2nd and 3rd. The challenge was to Strike Out Batter to end inning without run scoring

I didn't get the strike out The batter weakly poped out to second

For MLB the show 20 I had one that said get a hit to advance the runners. My player was intentionally walked. You would think it would say canceled challenge or give me credit for what was done the runners advanced. But no it said challenge failed WTF

I had the same problem with equipment I couldn't figure out how to equip it. But here's on Go to Your Road to the show player. Click on your My Player. then click on My BallPlayer then click player loadout. There will be a picture of your created player you can assign your purchased equipment there

Was I the ONE who used sliders. I doubt very seriously out of the all the people who play this game That I am the only person who has ever used sliders. There are pages of sliders uploaded by members of the community in the vault

So now after years of being able to choose what pitches you want for your pitcher Starter or Closer. You can no longer choose what pitches you want. You have to use the pitches provided. Why they did that God only knows.

I understand you can change the pitches in the bullpen when and if the pitch you want shows up in the spot it you want it 12345. Until then your stuck with the pitches they start you out with

I don't want to have to do that maybe no one else wants to either. What was wrong with you picking the pitches you wanted to use when you made your pitcher. NOTHING there was nothing wrong with that

What is that they say. We listen to what you the community wanted. What a bunch of BS that is.
I doubt there were many from the community if any at all that asked to not be able to get XP if you use sliders
They did it because they want to force everyone to play Diamond Dynasty. Personally I don't give a Rat's [censored]
about DD I'm a road to the show player

Great post totally agree with you about being able to contact your Agent. It was something you used to be able to do. Hate that you have to wait the one two times a year they contact you. And like yourself I am also an older MLB the show player (59). Been at it since day 1

Why the hell is the equipment priced so High. I'm not talking about the community Market. I've been playing this game for a long time and I've never seen it price this high. What are you taking tips from 2k and turning MLB The Show into a cash grab

Got them thanks for the help

On my PS5 my current My Ballplayer is a 6'2' 215 center Fielder from NJ and that is what he is on my Diamond Dynasty Team on PS5.

On the website theshow.com under the mlb21.theshow.com/squads
He is listed as a 6'1" 213 Catcher from California. why they don't match I have no clue

I did send in a support ticket but i don't really expect an answer. I sent two in May that were never answered. maybe they think answering support tickets is beneath them

Anyway I have to clue how to fix this

They even ask shortly after that those are the three you want. You can select new pitches during training right away. After you get the pitches you like (even up to five) and you can restart and still have access with all five of the pitches you selected. I did that so I could start off with a SP with 5 pitches instead of 3.

That's what I was able to do for the first pitcher I made when the game first came out. But for the closing pitcher I made I was never asked and now for this pitcher I was never asked.

So now after years of being able to choose what pitches you want for your pitcher Starter or Closer. You can no longer choose what pitches you want. You have to use the pitches provided. Why they did that God only knows.

I understand you can change the pitches in the bullpen when and if the pitch you want shows up in the spot it you want it 12345. Until then your stuck with the pitches they start you out with

If you my ballplayer to look like someone I made a cf and made him look like Griffey. Now I'm making a new MY Ballplayer and there is no way to start the physical appearance from default . I have to physically take the time to find out what those default setting are and make the changes on the player

Because the Porch Monkeys at San Diego Studios didn't have the brains to think oh maybe people would want to have a different look for each build and would like to be able to start each builds physical appearance from default. But that would take Brains

Nothing says maturity like racial slurs and calling people stupid. I'm shocked they didn't lock this thread

Just looked it up the definition of the words it was not what was meant for my post. It was meant to call them Lazy and uncaring They used to be so much better than that

It shows they don't care

Does anyone know if they answer support tickets. I send one when the game first came out took almost 4 weeks to answer. Sent another one that was never answered. Send one three days still haven't heard back. Shows they don't care.

Also did you notice when you send them a support ticket they'll send you an email saying it could take up to 5 weeks for a reply. What the heck is that. Support tickets should be answered in a 24-48 hours time period the quicker the better

Also do they even check the forum for any issues

I have my player on bronze spark plug finished the Diamond dynasty Missions for the bronze spark plug. but the Road to the show missions are not moving
I have no clue what to do I'm stuck on 66 earned.

I've made a half a dozen my ballplayers and now on this one I get this BS. The road to the show missions was counting up to 12 earned then it just stopped

So I did go into DD and made sure my player was there played a game and got progress from DD and it went up to 19 earned. went to road to the show played one game and got progress it now said and still says 22 earned

After that one road to the show game I played a bunch more. Went to check the progress it was still on 22 earned

Also every time I check my progress it moves my equipment around

I currently have a short stop with 78 fielding and going up. He has no problem with ground balls and pop ups to his general area. But going to the right or left or even forward to get a slow rolling grounder He won't go past two steps and he wont' bend down for the ground ball . Even when the ball is by his feet. If a ball is hit more than 2 feet away in any direction . It's like He hits a wall even while I'm pushing the left stick in the direction of the ball I don't get it

I usually have no problem fielding and actually like it but this is crazy

If you edit your my ballplayer to look like someone like I did when I made a cf and made him look like Griffey. Now I'm making a new MY Ballplayer and there is no way to start the physical appearance from default . I have to physically take the time to find out what those default setting are and make the changes on the player

Because the Developers at San Diego Studios didn't have the foresight to think oh maybe people would want to have a different look for each build and would like to be able to start each builds physical appearance from default. But that would take Brains
