@wowjustuninstall_psn said in **PLEASE READ** *UPDATE!!!* It's my third season. Why am I not in the MLB?:
I give up. This is ridiculous. There is clearly a huge issue with the call-up system in this game. I’m in my third season of RTTS and I just finished spring training, only to be optioned back to AAA. Again. Really? I play on the lowest difficulty with max sliders + fast play and batting only to speed up the process. I’ve played every single game (simming to the majors doesn’t work) and it seems like no matter how good your stats are, you won’t get called up. Why? In my second season, I batted .607 with 80 HR and 250 RBI. Come on SDS. That alone should be good enough for anyone to make it to the majors in their first season. I even got a couple of hints(!) that my player might get called up soon. For example, they told me I might get called up to help my team in the postseason, to which I replied: “Have you seen my numbers lately?” Of course, it never happened. Two offseasons in a row I signed a contract as an “MLB Starter” just to be optioned back to AAA right after spring training and never get called up. Seriously? The player progression in this game is also ridiculously slow - I’m only a 68 overall in my third season. If my overall is the reason why I won’t get called up then why start everyone with such a low rating??? I don’t believe team need is the real issue either - in most MLB The Show games you can still get called up to the majors just by performing well. Come on SDS. Everything else about the game is great but RTTS is extremely flawed with its player progression and call-up system. I get that the game just came out, but this should have never been an issue. Please fix this. I’m going to have to start over and edit rosters to turn down the overalls of everyone else in my position and then HOPE I get called up because apparently, that might be the only way to do it.
UPDATE
I finally got called up to the majors, however this was after I added some new perks to boost my player to a 75 overall. After that I simmed a few weeks into my third season and they called me up. I couldn't tell you why it happened though. This could have been an overall issue. Whatever the case may be, it's laughable that someone can post HOF numbers for that long and not get called up. I know many people will have this issue, few others won't. Multiple factors will contribute to your team's decision to call you up, but SDS really should have done a better job at making people understand what they are. They also still need to fix player progression, stats, and their promotion system. In short, too many unnecessary additions to RTTS this year that can confuse people who are new to the game and take the fun out of it.
Wait until they bench you out of no where and you can’t do anything about it. I was putting up massive numbers at the all star break and then got benched and only finished with 80 games played. Didn’t even get an at-bat in the playoffs and it auto-saved so I can’t do anything about it. Next season they moved me down to the end of the lineup and moved me from RF to 2B. Don’t know if RTTS is playable in its current state.
