In the end nothing was working in that RTTS save at all. Asked for a trade only to be told I have to be patient multiple times. Simmed all the way to free agency and got picked up by other teams on supposed "MLB Starter" contracts only to be optioned straight back down to their AAA affiliate. Assuming something must have glitched along the way because nothing made any sense in the save.
Ended up just starting a new RTTS save with the same ballplayer (which i didn't even realise was possible until i tried it). So managed to keep all my player's equipment, perks and OVR etc. Simmed about 100-120 games into the season and got called up into the Majors for the Rays. Literally in my first season lol. Shame that i lost all of my AAA accolades/stats, but at the end of the day a small price to pay for getting into the majors.
Seems like there is some pretty big coding issues with RTTS this year, although maybe this isn't helped by the fact that I'm playing on Xbox One rather than series x or PS5.
