re: Road to the Show player updates..

Bought a PS4 and the Show last week and I'm already into my sixth season. I started off with the Texas Rangers and was promoted to AA at the end of my first season and ended up spending my entire second season with the Round Rock Express, The Rangers AAA side.

I eventually got called up to the pros in my third year but BARELY played. I was getting so pissed off. I was only doing pinch hitting and I hated waiting for it to load to see possibly only one pitch and then the game end. I was eventually sent down to AAA again, but Arizona claimed me. I spend a year there and started but demanded a trade and ended up with Cleveland.

I started with the Indians for a few years and I'm now 24-years-old and an 89 overall. It's pretty fun now that my guy is actually good and plays almost every day. It does suck though because we haven't made the playoffs once in any of my time up during the entire season.

I haven't hit more than 25 home runs in a year yet though, hoping to be a 30-30 player this time around.

Oh also, I simulate fielding and only do base running when I'm the lead runner.

6 seasons already is kinda ridiculous bro

Even if some of them you didn't play a ton




I don't understand why they never put you in on defense after pinch hitting.

Have the virtual managers never heard of a frickin double switch?

I literally did nothing this weekend lol.

I don't play every game, I'll usually play 2-3 a week and then sim the rest. I also dislocated my ankle one year, and somehow missed 80% of the season. I think that may be one reason I'm not making the playoffs lol, so the season I just started I"m going to play 90% of the games myself.

The pinch hitting thing really ticks me off. I'll only ever play it if we're tied or down by a run and there's someone on base.

The empty stadiums are bothering me now. The Indians are 10 games over 500 and 2.5 back in the central and there are an average of 6 people per section in the outfield. This is some stupid shite.. What exactly determines crowd attendance in RTTS? Jeeeeez

They made the playoffs in my sim and the last week the seats were empty. That shite is dumbfounding

How many of the minor league stadiums are authentic?

I googled my home AA stadium and found it was real, though some of the views were embellished

But it seemed like when I played on the road and went to AAA that many of the stadiums repeated, or at least they were very similar

3B drafted 1-3 to the Rangers. I hit about .400 for the first 2-3 months in AA. The Rangers proceeded to fire sale everyone in the bigs: Prince, Beltre, etc. that lead to me getting the call up in June and becoming an everyday player in my first season.

Won ROTY, but we finished 40 games under .500. Now in my second season. I have the dynamic difficulty hitting on, but I'm not doing so hot. Hovering around .250. If we're more than 10 back in June I'm gonna start demanding a trade.

The dynamic difficulty is pretty neat but on veteran I seem to hit almost too well 

Once it bumps me to All-Star, I hit nothing but choppers and popups 



I had to simulate base running. I loathe sitting there watching another guy foul off pitch after pitch

All of this

Finished season 1 and hit decent in spring training

They kept me on the mlb roster and I start about every 3rd game

If I keep hitting ok, I may get more starts

Getting some starts at 3b, instead of my usual SS too

I don't know what it is, but I cannot catch up to the four-seamers. I still hit them, but they ALL are oppo hits. Just once I would like to turn on fastball, but I for some reason I can't. I guess I just suck.

OH frickING HELL. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GOD DAMN ALCS!!!

I'm now scared to see if my file is corrupted..
