That might be it, I used to work in a power plant and crushed my thumb closing a railroad car while unloading coal. For that reason I use button classic controls. The original control scheme from the beginning. The left stick can not be moved until pitch or pick off throw is made.

@modad_mlbts

As a #1 prospect I still got them against other prospects but later on yes I would only get them from NL on my SP/2B Yankees player.

I just tried it on my RTTS and beginner mode with dynamic off it just tosses some form of a fastball depending on pitchers arsenal. It moves around but never outside the strike zone. If you are playing online or co-op beginner mode is not available if I remember correctly

Thanks for the achievement that I would not have gotten lol I don’t play anything but RTTS. I just played an exhibition from today’s Marlins vs Yankees game with the settings I suggested and all were some form of fastball and always in the box. Just like my test on RTTS. Also, try sliding the “Dynamic Difficulty “ slider to the right. With dad turned off it shouldn’t matter to be honest.

I really hope this helps. Give it a try and good luck.

@xxsolisxx_psn

I’ve never had a problem, select pitch aim (hold stick in position) pull trigger, either pick off or pitch. That’s the way I’ve been doing since 07 never had an issue with meatballs. If you still have 25 try it. Hope it helps. I want tge view back completely ruins immersion when using the window.

@xxsolisxx_psn

Before you aimed the pitch first then pulled trigger for slide step.

There is no way this can be added as a patch, I never expected that it would be a large amount of coding. I’m sorry I’m not going to make any complementary statements to SDS after this disaster and how long it tppk to actually respond.

This is something we have been asking to have added for years. The fact is that players are constantly being ignored for so many years. This years release has so many issues I have lost my desire to even play.

Examples that I’ve experienced so far:
1 Constant Crash to dashboard when attempting a manual save (I refuse to use auto save from past years experience)
2 Token bonus from potential not working

3 Token bonuses from Pitching and hitting coaches not working

4 Player comparisons for promotions being matched with a completely different position. Ex My second baseman in AA was being compared to a third baseman in AAA. Once in AAA I was being compared to a centerfield player

5 Worse than ever late inning comebacks. This has been an issue for years but wow this year it’s astronomical. Ex I was playing CWS top 9 I doubled in RBI score 14-1 and to no-one’s surprise as I’m on 2nd batter struck out. Sim to end to see we lost in bottom 9 14-15. I admit this one made me rage quit

6 As mentioned above the amount of batters striking out if you play your base running opportunities the batters behind will strikeout more than 95%of the time. I did a post with test results from 25 back in late Jan or early Feb

7 RTTS player wearing incorrect cleats intermittently (wrong colors and brand)

8 Sunglasses. I really don’t know where to start with is one. They screwed it up in 25 and it’s still not fixed. It’s a crapshoot if they show up or not

9 Pitcher look. What happened to actually looking at a base runner while holding left trigger? Why was this removed? Was it done on purpose or is it a bug?

10 Ball in the dirt ribbon. New feature added last year when on base, the only time I ever saw it was during the tutorial. Is this still in the game?

There are a few more but I think you get the idea, some are gameplay and some are just bad AI decisions.

The sad part that they made such a big thing about how important secondary positions were in DD this year so the code is known. But DD is where they get your $90 then all those juicy micro-transactions every year for stubs.

Amateur mode is tge lowest level that uses all pitches. Beginner mode throws only strikes. It’s been that way for years. I don’t play exhibition games, I only play RTTS but the controls are the same.

Usually games that are not on gamepass take a few months but usually do get tge ability to play eventually but tge Dev has to authorize it.

In RTTS playing a second baseman, grounder to SS for double play, SS bobbles and as you move to second all the sudden your -layer takes a sharp right because do is no longer possible. This annoys me everytime because it makes it seem like you are not in control.

Another thing playing the field I should be able to position myself manually not wait for the ball to be hit. Just before the pitch you can adjust a little then you are locked until the hit.

@frankdatruetank_xbl

No worries I think it was buried in with like 10-12 other issues people have been dealing with.

@frankdatruetank_xbl

This is a known issue, there is another post from day 1. As to when/if it gets fixed that is unknown. SDS has not even acknowledged or confirmed they are working on the ridiculous amount of bugs this year. Once your potential hits A you won’t receive the 1.5x tokens either. Pitching and hitting coach bonus from contacting them on your phone, yep you guessed it not working.

@hellothere66506_xbl

This is something I’ve never heard of or have had happen to me. I’ve experienced a plethora of bugs like never before, just not this one.

@jackd290_mlbts

This started a few years ago but this year it’s way out of hand. What I’ve found is don’t enter the game to watch. It’s amazing how your team could have 1 hit the other team then your closer always has bases loaded. Don’t watch by entering, just sim to end usually strands them.

I have noticed this amazing comeback mode is especially high on the final game of the series. It’s like the other team no matter how bad they are all become the Dodgers with .500 averages.

@huskiessp_psn

I’m with you I’m an RTTS only player and this will be my final year wasting $90 after an outright lie on a twitch stream and the buggiest piece of garbage ever. The worst part is that they won’t even acknowledge our concerns, it’s just crickets.

@slyravaniste_psn

I agree with you, I’ve also noticed that the coaches bonus is also not working. The hitting coach actually worked on only a single AA hit but never applied again for the rest of the game. I activate the coaches once a month on my 2 way and other players, like so many other things this year it’s just broken.

The sad part is they don’t even acknowledge that things are a problem. There seems to be no sense of urgency to our issue.

@savagesteve74_psn
True but there is still no excuse for a release as bad as this years. This is tge worst release I can remember all tge way back to 07. There are things they can improve, this engine dates back to late PS2, early PS3.

I only play on my Series X because I really don’t like tge smaller controller on my PS5. Besides my wife -lays an exclusive on it. Happy wife, happy life.

@doppelganger39_psn

That would require a total rewrite, this is a PS2 or PS3 game engine. The code is old and tired that’s why there are so many problems.

@hero-richard_xbl

Beginner mode is all fastballs.

I failed a goal on my SP/2B that I never even had on my list. I checked goals, I had none. I played 1 game as a starter then after game was over I got a failed goal message I was like huh? I checked goals again it was an A- goal.
