MLB 14 The Show: Road to the Show Better Than Ever

[RaychelSnr]

You could say that MLB: The Show’s success can be tied to the popular Road to the Show mode – just look at all of the My Players and Be a Pro options in the sports gaming world that have popped up since Road to the Show first became a thing. Road to the Show helped launch The Show into its current state of baseball dominance, and in this year's MLB 14: The Show, the improvements make the type of impact you want to see in any sports game.

Definitely agree that RTTS is at its best this year.

For sure the best RTTS yet ( Top ) 2015 and Bottom ( 2016 )

Running is still OK with RTTS and I have trouble with my guy in the outfield. Sometimes I am spun around missing the ball. lol

Agreed. RTTS is literally the only mode I've ever played in the MLB The Show series. But that mode alone is worth the price of admission.

Currently, I'm playing as a switch-hitting shortstop A-rated phenom in the Astros organization. Corpus Christi Hooks ftw.

It's nice playing when you know you don't have to put in 80 points in contact vs left or 40 points in drag bunting..that alone is worth the price of admission for me. And if I decide I don't care about drag bunting or plate discipline I can allow them to lose points over time.

I love this game..

The only thing I'd like to see added to this mode is some sort of roleplaying aspect like NBA 2K14 implemented. That had its problems, but overall it was definitely a fresh, welcome addition. It'd be cool to be put into different clubhouse situations and have to make decisions that could impact chemistry, etc.

How is it playing catcher in the game? Do you still have to call every pitch? Or can you just do fielding plays like bunts, pop ups etc?

Until the fix the pitching in the showcase playing as a starter is pointless.

This is the first time since 2006 that I've played RTTS because I was on the Xbox 360 last generation. It was the first game I got for my PS4, and boy am I addicted! I can sit there for hours at a time playing. I keep telling myself this will be the night I dabble in franchise mode some more, but I always end up playing RTTS.

Not every batter .. depends on the situation, maybe 8-10 a game. That's just a guess but definitely better than before. Plus you get the bunt/pop ups.

Your age at the draft can knock you down? I haven't seen a YT video, where a RTTS didn't get drafted higher the 2nd time around. Usually they perform better (because of higher ratings), so I can't tell if age would be a hinder in the game. Has anyone experienced going back to school and performing better in the Showcase but drafted lower?

I have been drafted lower after going back, but it was when I first got the game and was messing around with it. My RTTS that I am doing now I didn't go back to school and was drafted 12th in the first round.

I wish I split the Gamestop 30, 000 points between 2 or so players. I used it all on a created Yankees 3rd Baseman. After 6 week in Trenton (AA) I wa called up to NY. Just hit a walk-off homer last night and started hooting and hollering. lotta fun!!!

Re: MLB 14 The Show: Road to the Show Better Than Ever

I haven't started an RTTS player this year, which is strange for me. I'm really hoping they've fixed the legacy problems with the CPU strategy in RTTS. Specifically, the amount and timing of the bunts for the CPU. In the past (at least 3) iterations, the CPU would have ridiculously bad bunting logic (bunting with 2 strikes, bunting with RISP with 2 outs, bunting with big time power hitters) and this really killed the mode for me. There is nothing worse than being in big game and a clutch moment and the CPU just gives away outs by randomly bunting in horrible situations with their best players.
