I figured I needed to take a break from the game for a little while since my guy in RTTS is apparently the video game version of Mike Olt. I like hitting dingers but it would be nice to actually get on base every once in a while.

I retired a guy like this and made a contact/ speed character. It's so much more fun being the lead off hitter, getting on base and then stealing your way around to a run in.

Just try to steal home every time. It has to work eventually, right?

I accidentally stole home. 3-2 count, 2 outs, but only runners on the corners. I ran on the pitch, it was a ball and a walk, and somehow the catcher standing right there missed the tag on me.

I've stolen home on a delayed steal when the guy on 1st takes 2nd. Also if there's a pickoff attempt at 1st you have a good shot if you get a good jump and the 1B goes into a specific animation.

I've also hit a couple of ITP home runs when the ball gets to the cutoff man and he starts jogging it in because he assumes you're staying on third.

I'd be interested in a smaller draft league with active players. 12 would be enough. After you get your starters and pitching staff there's an autodraft setting.

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.
The game glitched out and the pitcher forgot to actually start pitching.

I ended up going over to the mound to ask him if he was ok, but there he stood. So I went over to home plate to get their take on things. I was worried I would have to restart the game or something since I was doing so well.



I ended up walking down the line back to 1st base and then the game unfucked itself and the pitcher threw a fastball while I was a third of the way there. I still got the double play on his rear end :smugdog:

I was disappointed that SCE didn't have the crowd boo the pitcher for wasting time or have the umpire yell at me for getting in the way and the interfering with play as a protection against this kind of bug.

I had the same thing happen to me last night except I was in CF and I was able to slowly meander my way to home plate and by time I got there the pitcher decide to pitch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1mZj36Ft8I

Luckily it was only a weak pop up, although if my reaction/fielding was higher maybe I could have made the play. (There also seems to be a flash in the video, so I'm going to assume my guy had a panic attack when he saw the batter lift his leg).

Got a triple, then an HR, then a single....


But the shitbird center fielder caught my 9th inning hit and took away my cycle :catstare:. The game did me a solid and took the game to the 11th inning anyway, but it was some bullshit infield dripper and that was it.


Why isn't there an achievement for completing the cycle? Or even for a lot of the other cool baseball poo poo? Getting your first HR, a triple, double play, stealing home, completing the cycle, perfect cycles, loving no-hitters and perfect games? If this was on Steam I guarantee it would have all that and not just for the grand slam.

Is there any way in RTTS to make it always show the distance of the home run? Seems like 1/6 replays show the distance, but I can't seem to tell that there's any rhyme or reason as to what causes it. And it should happen every drat time.

Why yes I am interested to learn just how far that ball I hit into McCovey Cove went, especially since the water in this game is apparently just concrete that looks like water and the ball kept rolling for eternity off into the distance.

Nope. I would also like this, especially since I hit one over the brick wall in Citi Bank. Seriously think that one was a 500 footer.

Also have hit a few over the billboard signs above the green monster.

Yeah but it doesn't do this in RttS because you don't see the next hitter.

Bottom of the 1st, runners on 1st and 2nd no outs. First pitch and I absolutely smoke a ball to the gap in left, should easily score one if not both, the two runners don't start running until i already pass the runner on first, lead runner stops at 3rd and the guy I passed gets tagged out at second.

bottom of the ninth, I'm 3 for 3 with 2 dingers, games tied, there's a runner on 3rd with 2 outs and I get pinch hit for by loving Chris Parmelee who strikes out and gets the 1 run loss. I'm slashing .390 in May, leading the league in RBIs and hits.

I 100% support this idea, just be aware the Yankees are completely unfair and Tampa bay is basically it's current roster against Babe Ruth, Cy Young, Bonds etc. A lot of the teams are just insane so balance is a bit funny.
