    My RTTS team SUCKS!

    Anyone know the criteria for winning in RTTS? I mean, I know it’s basically about the my player experience but wow! My team is really, really bad. For awhile I thought the winning or at least the competitive balance was based on how I did as the player. But then I had a game where I went 4 for 5 with 2 hr’s and 8 RBI’s and we still lost! What gives? Anyone got any insight?

    . No insight as I’ve been saying for 10 years now there simulation logic in RTTS and even other modes have been pretty bad and the same nothing has changed Except adding DD stuff the RTTS mode 😏 RTTS is pretty much scripted and nothing you’re player does really changes from what the AI wants to happen .. Sorry I couldn’t help as I’ve tried everything used every position and archetype..

      Me as well. My teams have always sucked and it has really taken the fun out of it because it's such a grind to get to the majors.

        Thanks for replying Ousooners... it is as I expected. I just am disappointed in the whole RTTS experience. When I play games like NBA2K and see their story lines in their myplayer it just makes me wonder why SD studios can’t do something similar. I mean they touted the relationships this year but I’m still not seeing it. It really has got me to the point of giving up on RTTS.

          I was thinking of bypassing this by choosing the "watch game" option. IDK if ill do that just for the bigs or for all games though.

            Got called up to the way out of it tigers. Lose every game. Usually big. One game I hit 2 hr, single, 5 rbi, and 1 k. Lost 9-6. Manager came up to me and said I’m chasing too many bad pitches outside the zone. Teammate challenged me to not swing at 3 pitches outside for THREE games. Neither person mentioned the offense (which is only from me usually) or the poor pitching lol. I was rookie of the month for august by the way after getting called up end of July.

              Does anyone have an opinion on why the Show’s my player or role play mode is so much weaker than say 2k20 basketball my player or FIFA’s soccer Player Career mode? Those, in my opinion are so much deeper and contain so many more storylines than RTTS. It is simply because DD is the money maker for this series and so RTTS and Franchise are “Step-children” or is there something else going on? As you can tell, RTTS for me this year (and I’ve been playing MLBTS since 2012) is deeply disappointing.

                I've been playing Sony's baseball games going back to when you can scan your face in the game I really miss that option!..lol

                RTTS in MLBTS has always been my favorite feature of the game. But nothing has really changed much. The team you are drafted to are alway bad. I think I've only made it once to the WS with MLBTS 2015 I think and won it! But it is very rare...for me at least.

                It is what it is...and it is still a unique feature of MLBTS. Just wish for the next gen consoles they add more different gameplay features and a scan face option for your player.

                    I'm a pitcher and the bumbling idiots behind me are always making errors and botching double plays. It drives me nuts. It's bad enough they don't score.

                    And when I do actually leave the game with a lead the absolute useless piles of waste in the bullpen usually blow it.

                        Made my debut with the Marlins who cant make any sound roster decisions (Hoard prospects but make them sit on the bench and jerk them around AAA and MLB, continue to start sub-.200 hitting journeymen). I wanted to go back to RF (Because of course they'd trade for Nomar Mazara nd they cant bother to have me start over said journeymen in LF and CF) so kept letting them know I wanted to switch back to the point they got fed up and traded me to the Angels. Now I'm hitting cleanup between Trout and Ohtani but I'm still playing 1B, but at least they have better players.

                          I've had many super stacked teams in RTTS. Keep multiple saves and load/reload a save that is in June/July until they make trades that satisfy you. A few years ago my Angels team had Jose Ramirez, Daniel Murphy, Joc Pederson all acquirred from trades at the deadline that I loaded over and over again for

                            The very first RTTS player I created was a SP drafted by the Pirates. During that first season the game tried to force me into becoming a CP and I rejected this change. So the game traded me to the Padres. At the time the Padres were bad. I only played 1/2 a season with the team that first year, but they lost 100+ games. In my second season the team was still pretty bad, we lost about 90 or so games. Then last year the team got a little better where we flirted with making the playoffs as a WC team. But in the end we fell short. Fast forward to this coming season. The team made some key free agent signings like signing Xander Boegarts and while on paper the Dodgers still look like the team to beat in the division, in Spring Training we have been kicking butt. It is going to be an interesting season, but the way we are playing, anything short of making the playoffs as a WC if not winning the division will be a complete disappointment. In other words, you may be on a bad team now, but if you give it a couple of years, they should become a contender especially with the perks system now in effect that boosts not only you but also boosts your teammates you have established relationships with.

                              I'll admit I stopped playing RTTS after MLB 15. When I realized this logic problem and it seems like it still exist to the present day so below is my insight and makes the game really fun to play although there is still a lot to be desired when playing defense unfortunately it still lacks this year even though I banked my purchase on the defensive stream this year.

                              Insight

                              My remedy to this is to create a Player Locked player in Franchise mode and build a balanced team of contact hitters and base stealers with maybe 1 Super Star player to represent the Franchise. So that the game rely's on the Super Star in clutch moments instead of my Player Locked Player.

                              I build my Player Locked player very balanced and try to keep a rating between 70-75 and 80. I also play on Legend and this year legend is pretty tough while bumping up the pitch speed sliders. Hitting to me seems realistic when I make these adjustments. I am also using a slider set from the forum. So hard pitchers throw hard and miss the strike zone. It's really fun.

                              I typically put myself in the MLB and have tried starting in Triple A to make it more challenging. Either way is fun but your stats and accomplishments are not carried from Triple A to the MLB so you get no commentary highlights.

                              Note

                              You can Player Lock from the first inning this year whether you are on defense or offense. This makes it so much better! Waited years for this feature LOL
