There is also your team is on a winning streak three games in a row facing a pitcher with a 16.05 ERA halfway through the season your team can’t buy a hit. Your teams starter has a 2.3 ERA and gives up to nine runs in the 1st, 7 in the 5th, and no matter who is on the mound in the 9th they load the bases. The teams win loss record should not have any bearing on how well the other team is hitting or pitching. It should be like it is a real world batting skills versus pitching skills.

I am glad they went back to this mode of training like it used to be back in the early days. But token progression is seemingly way too slow, especially if you’re not a pitcher or a 2 way player. If you play as 2-way always take pitching when asked where you want your bonus from the manager. Level pitching first for faster promotions, you can always drop pitching later.

I have a first baseman that is 99 fielding, shortstop that is 99, and the second base that is 99. Ever since Saturday night I have not been able to field anything when there’s bases loaded or anyone on base. Getting these balls hit between the first and second base or between the shortstop and second baseman so hard that they are impossible to field. I even tried turning on auto fielding and auto jump. Balls are going through the infield so fast that you have no time to react at all. I have not had a single ball pit for a double play or to make an out at first since Saturday night. I have played 30 games in each one of those positions and this is constant through all of them. Is there a setting that needs to be fixed? Every time they do a patch all of my settings get restored back to default. It’s kind of a pain in the [censored]. It wouldn’t even load previous saved models they were gone.

I realize that there have only been four in major league history. Most recent was in 1989 although he only played a few games for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Even as a two-way player, it will only what you pitch right hand when you’re a catcher as your secondary position.

Also, why can’t we select multiple positions as our secondary position? Look at how many multiple position players are in the game now. It’s never been uncommon for a second baseman to also play shortstop. But there are so many players in the major leagues right now they can play almost all positions.

I have never been able to get it to work on my iPhone 14 Pro Max or my iPad. Did not work last year or this year.

I have had it trigger a few times. I think BR aggressiveness is what will cause it to trigger on close calls.

I have 99 speed, 99 steal and 99 br aggression, it still just flashes more often that not. It doesn’t actually give the animation because it disappears so fast. It works an of 1 in 6 or 7 times for me.

I like this when it works, more often than not the trigger just flashes and disappears immediately. It doesn’t even show the animation.

I have 99 speed, 99 steal, 99 br aggression still have not gotten the dirt ball since the tutorial during early access.

I would love to see a way to put points into your pickoff move as a pitcher. Some pictures are really good at it and some are really bad, the really good ones actually practice picking players off. I think it would be really cool to add that.

I just wish you didn’t have to DH when it’s the final game of the set with a day off before your next start. It works the other way, but not that way.

I completely agree. The transition is a pain in the back side and it was cool for the first year or two, but all I can ever think of is here comes wild thing in the movie Major league every time it comes on and it just got old. Why do I still get perk bonuses when I already have all the perks?

@LQR_NSW said in Stealing Bases:

Have any of you had the issue where after the latest update you cant slide headfirst anymore?

I can’t do anything but slide head first it drives me nuts. I pulled a stick back and nothing happens. It’s still slides head first every single time whether it needs to or not.

I've noticed it's very team dependent. I've played on some rock-bottom teams in a couple of careers and my experience is very similar to OP's, and then I play one career on the Dodgers and win like 30 games in a row, with every time I'm on base, batters get walks, base hits, home runs, the works.

Like, I'm in my third year on the Dodgers on my CF, and we're 40-2, after a season going 150-12 or something insane like that. I have another career with the Blue Jays that had a more realistic ~100 win season, and a few seasons with the red sox where we went .500 or so.

I’m on the Yankees in the 2027 season I spoke of above. I am batting in front of Aaron Judge. His batting average is 080 right now In that 2027 season.

I just played a new season 2027 all the way until the All-Star break. Every single time I got on base did not matter how many outs there were every batter went 3–0, and then three straight strikes. They all swung just like that. Only twice in the entire first half this did not happen, 1 homerunand 1 line out. My team is currently in first place by two games. The only time they ever get hits is if I am not on base.

That does not explain how Aaron Judge on my team is hitting 312, but he strikes out every time when I’m in front of him . I just went 4 for 4 every game for 7 straight, he struck out every time and his average never changed. They are striking out more than 94% in my case. I don’t want to hit 300 homers in a season just so my team will be productive.

It just seems to be over correcting in a lot of cases,if I make an out the other team is guaranteed to score 6-10 runs the next inning. Teams that are cellar dwellers that haven’t scored 10 runs in 5 games are doing it every time I make an out.

There is not a single fix for all the bugs in our RTTS. This game has completely worn me out this year. It’s deflating. Strikeouts when you’re on base has been getting worse and worse over the last few years but this year it has pushed me to a point where I think I’m just done. I like to play a speed in contact second baseman. If you do that this year, your team will never win again because every time you get on base everybody behind you strikes out 97% of the time. I wanna know how somebody that strikes out 97% of the time can have an average of 312. I’m a second baseman on the Yankees and Aaron Judge is batting 312. I am batting in front of him but he strikes out at least 97% of the time. I can steal bases left and right, but if I don’t hit a home run every freaking game we lose.. And let’s not forget if you’re make and out the other team will score between four and 10 runs in the next inning. The RNG has been broken in this game for years, but this year I feel like I’ve wasted my 90 bucks on the pre-order.o

Is it working for anyone? The only time I had seen it was during the early release doing the tutorial. I have not seen it since.

It certainly feels like it on my infielders I get hardly any diving place anymore.

I have as a two-way player only put points in your pitching. On my two way players I have done three now that have gone from AA Somerset, straight to the Yankees without any AAA stop.

As a two-way player, I get recruited by LSU on the final game of my high school championship. It has happened three times in a row for me.
