To me, RTTS has been completely neutered. I'm extremely disappointed in how it plays now (50 overall caps on every attribute? really SDS?).

I never used CAPs previously in DD, but now I can't make a RTTS character be as good as I want in this system. I also can't create more than one character and have to use my one created player for everything, which is a huge disappointment. Lastly, removing sounds of the show on PS5 and not being able to upload custom walk up music/HR music is just bad and I feel like SDS really is just killing single player offline modes in favor of DD.

Now, I also play DD too, but killing off RTTS like this feels like they're taking it behind the shed with a shotgun. If I was offline only, I'd just stick to MLB 20.

I finished collections really late last year and even though I ended up being horrible with Mickey, it still helped in unlocking the 99 Mike Trout they released as the big collection reward due to all of the intermediate cards you get.

As far as a better 3B and better CF, chipper is debatably one of the best 3B cards we'll get all year, and even then he has SS and LF secondaries so if we get a truly superior 3B he can be moved around. Soriano is a fantastic 2B and OF card as well, and Ortiz is probably the best lefty pure hitter. Will those cards be the end-all be-all? No. Do you absolutely need to do collections? No. Are they worth it at pretty much any point in the game's lifecycle? I'd argue so.

It’s been a day and nothing has changed. We paid for access to this full game 4 days early and that hasn’t happened. Is something being done to fix that issue?

Is there something you are unable to do in the game? If not then you have everything you paid for.

The app is completely separate, no one paid for the app and if you did then you got conned.

Yes, the face scan feature is currently unavailable since the app isn't updated.

would it be possible to add an option to disable playing at custom stadiums without just resorting to installing the PS4 version of the game? I don't wanna play at stadiums where the fences are all 300' with 5000' elevation and skyscrapers being hit by airplanes in the background. Not to mention the plethora of stadiums in the game that range from racist to insensitive (just check this tweet)

Please SDS, let those who want the custom stadium nightmare have it but for those that don't just let us disable them when searching for a game.

Stat bonuses 100% don't work for equipment. It's pretty annoying since without the equipment boosts my diamond tier perk has a tiny PCI due to the contact rating in the 50s

Yeah if you're gonna play only RTTS, just play MLB 20

The stadiums themselves don’t have anything I could see bad in them. It’s just the name.

That's not enough for you? Good God.

I’m not that sensitive to it. I also like dark humor so I bet there are plenty that look a lot funnier than what you posted.

It's not "dark humor" to name your field "G. Floyd Plantation" and have gorillas holding bats flanking your batter's eye with "I can't breathe" written above it. That is straight up racism, no if ands or buts about it.

Tons of players have the wrong equipment/missing equipment this year in MLB 22. Is there a plan to fix this at some point?

Examples:

• Lindor is wearing mizuno cleats and not his new balance lindor 1 (which are in the game)
• No mizuno gloves
• No nike catching gear
• trout is using a mizuno bat and marucci batting gloves while not wearing his trout nike cleats

There are more, but these were some of the quick ones I noticed without doing much digging

EDIT: found more, like acuña's cleats being incorrect

Why on god's green earth does it take so long to go up in rating? It's genuinely infuriating that you start so low and gain +1 per training session on what you choose instead of how it was last year where you could gain a lot more rating more quickly and progress. I would guess it's because of the DD integration, but this honestly ruins this mode for people who don't want to combine DD and RTTS and want them separate. Thanks SDS for ruining the fun this mode provided; I hope it was worth the extra money you got from people buying packs.

I seem to remember this from last year, but I could be misremembering.

Yup this is from last year as well; seems like it never got addressed.

What difficulty are you playing on? Counterintuitively, having a PCI that is too big actually makes it slightly harder to get good contact since your PCI covers most of the strike zone and being in the PCI doesn't guarantee good contact. you generally need to be closer to the center to square a ball up, and a larger PCI goes against that. Try changing the difficulty up to veteran or all star (my recommendation) if you haven't already, and if you are playing on those higher difficulties just head into custom practice mode/challenge of the week and take BP.

If you pick the BP option, I recommend that you put the difficulty on a speed where you can ensure that you are consistently putting PCI on baseball. Your brain will adjust to the speeds, but if you aren't good at aiming the PCI then practicing on legend with max sliders won't do much for you.

Would be nice to get some resolution on that SDS considering it's been in the game for the entire lifecycle so far.

EDIT: for context SDS, if you do decide to try to fix this, if you make it to the WS in RTTS and win, regardless of if you play the game or simulate the game, the entire application freezes. This makes it impossible to continue on past this point.

There's a reddit thread that has exactly this (for position players)
