Some of the changes that I believe would make RTTS fun again are the following:
The grind is good but make it more productive. For example, while in HS, start with basic equipment (gloves, bats, cleats etc). Start building your skillset points, but be able to use them where you want.
When you move to College, be able to acquire upgraded equipment including aluminum bats and better skillsets.
Still have your Showcase, but bring your improved skillsets and equipment to use in it.
When you move to AA, be able to acquire bronze equipment etc. When you make AAA, your equipment that you earn should be gold.
Once you make the MLB, all equipment acquired or earned should be diamond. I think this would make the grind worth it because you are improving in abilities and equipment with every stage of growth.
I find it is boring when you get to the MLB because there is nothing to gain. The XP growth slows, the ability progress slows, the equipment gained is weak (often basic), your personal milestones are often ignored and barely celebrated. When you retire and qualify for the HOF, there is no HOF induction or celebration.
Speaking of celebrations, please add a ticker tape parade through your city if you win a World Series. The whole celebrating with a team picture is old and boring.
Also I believe there should be better agents for you that actually work FOR you, and as you get better contracts, you should be able to purchase nice homes and other things that come with fortune.
In addition it would be nice to have some type of story line with cutscenes that involves you making choices that affect your life and career. Have dialog with players, friends, family, neighbors etc.
I believe these additions would help make RTTS the BEST feature in the game and people would want to repeat their play of it because it would be fun yet challenging.
One more thing, Be able to use your created player in any new RTTS career you start, if you desire.
Companion App never worked for me for MLB The Show 24, Soooo each time I have had to recreate my player whenever I wanted to start a new RTTS career.
Bring back the "Save Player" option. It was in MLB the Show 23.
Thank you.
