RTTS is quite possibly the most "Just one more turn!" thing I have ever played. "Just one more series" *3 hours later* "One more won't hurt!"


Change the difficulty to dynamic. I felt the same way, but it turns out the AI doesn't just throw FBs down the middle at all times!

Did they fix this? I have been focusing on DD because the hitting difficulty was stuck on rookie in RTTS.

Yeah, it's definitely fixed, pitchers throw me breaking stuff out of the zone.

I think they actually fixed it a little too much for pitching. AA hitters are squaring up on my Betances clone way too easily given that he's throwing 99 and painting the corners.

Go into Presentation options, then Audio, then turn down RttS Noise.


It's bad and just weirds me out. Doesn't help that I play as a pitcher and I like to pitch as fast as possible, so the dude's voice comes out in the middle of a pitch and is completely inappropriate.

RttS is the most fun I've had playing a baseball game in a long time. I mean, it's basically a baseball aRPG, but it's an interesting twist. That said, to really do everything the game has to offer, I think there needs to be some online play. But I wouldn't know because I'm still playing all the solo poo poo.

I think that was in the patch that dropped yesterday. Haven't tried it out though, I just set mine to all-star when it was broken.

Online is my favorite right now despite playing against people who spent $500 on cards most of the time. It's like an extra challenging mode: make one mistake pitching, and you lose. Dark Souls Baseball

The controller yells were not a thing for me until the patch (which I didn't get til just now) and it's in Presentation Options -> Audio/Video -> RTTS Player Yells.

The patch notes claim that Dynamic Difficulty has been fixed but idk. I've been stuck just under Veteran+ forever and I assumed it was because I suck.

Do the base coaches yell at me through the controller in RTTS? That's what I really need, I'm tired of my manager looking forlorn in the dugout because I didn't try to take an extra base on a ball nowhere near deep enough for that sort of thing but they apparently wanted me to do anyway?

I never listen to the coaches. It doesn't matter how many bases I take because the god drat loving Angels are gonna strand me wherever I am anyway.

But yes I think they're supposed to yell at you. But do you really listen when it's Mecha-Mike Scioscia telling you what to do?

Well to be fair I'm in my second year of MLB after having won RotY and now Mike Scioscia is managing some other team (Red Sox? I think?) despite us still being called "Mike Scioscia's Angels lineup." This game is weird sometimes.

Oh also my current RTTS guy is a shortstop who has batted over .400 in AA and AAA (small sample in AAA so far) but has never taken a single walk and has single-digit career strikeouts and only 3 homers. He's a contact machine but I feel like if he was real people would be intensely frustrated with his inability to see more than 2 pitches in an AB.

It's funny because Andrelton Simmons is on my team. It's apparently a team full of us, except I'm apparently the only one that can get on base this way. I haven't even looked at my BABIP but it's probably ridiculous.

I had that in AA, but now in AAA I think I've drawn 4 walks. (Ok, two were intentional.)

EDIT: Also, he's a first baseman, because he's (read: I'm) a fat lefty.

Maybe a dumb question, but is there anything I can do to make sure a DD/Conquest game counts if I lose connection to the server? I had to go into rest mode halfway through a game, and when I came back it let me finish but doesn't look like I got credit for it.

Edit: technically 2, but the cubs got a base clearing double with two out when my right fielder ran past a looper without putting up his glove at all. The thing almost hit him in the face.

And now it's 2-0 nothing after two homers. Jesus christ, I loving hate the Cubs

Okay so I know what the C icons on player cards are, but what are the stars and colored icons next to those for?

Ice To Meet You
Mar 5, 2007

The stars are a "matchup rating" based on their real life opponent on that day. It gives them a ratings boost or nerf for the day.

Note that Adam LaRoche is retired and he still gets matchup ratings so I have no idea how the hell they make them up.

Did the last patch gently caress with the animations? I just had a game where I should have had 3 easy double plays but either the 2nd baseman or SS lobbed the ball to each other for the first out which made the batter reach base safely. Molina beat out a throw for crying out loud.

Edit: My RTTS catcher has committed three straight "throwing errors" because my second baseman can loving catch. Three straight I've hit R2 over the target. Three straight skipped throws. -30 points. gently caress this stupid throwing system.
