He doesn't really stop the puck, but he scares the hell out of the other team.

Anyone else getting horribly glitchy animations in the outfield where it'll show the ball go past someone but really they caught it? I'm not experiencing lag when the ball is pitched so I don't know what the gently caress

What mode? There are certainly glitchy animations here and there that I've noticed in RTTS. I had one shot to the outfield that warped through the outfielder and bounced back out, giving me an in the park homerun.

Playing middle infield, I frequently (about once every ~3 games) have it switch to me on defense, requesting double play depth, but leaving me unable to move at all. I've seen a similar frozen bug when leading off on base once or twice where you cannot move.

It also kills me when, in RTTS, I go to field an easy out, preset a low speed throw, then watch my guy smoke a cigarette before slowly reaching down on his backhand to pick up the ball instead of continuing in on it. At least this year you get no punishment in RTTS when you fail to make an out on an easy play toward you. It doesn't feel great when that failed out ends up giving the other team the winning run.

Does anyone know of how you "freeze" dynamic difficulty? I want to keep using it eventually, but I want to just freeze it at all-star for a bit until I'm better. My player has hit a few HRs lately which has given me 4+s and I dont want to move up just because of a hot streak. I can always just change the difficult to all-star, but I thought I had heard there was a way to "freeze" progression.

got called up from AA Biloxi to the Brew Crew about 40-50 games into the season. I guess already being 15 games back and my stellar hitting in AA convinced them to just bring me up. :laugh: I'm probably going to demand a trade because holy hell the Brewers are bad.

With my 2B, I have now had several times where I will be running towards the bag, and then get frozen in whatever direction I'm running because the ball has been thrown. I appreciate *why* they do this, but it's very frustrating when you're correcting your path to the base and now you're not touching second on the double play ball.

Also, I really hate it when that preset throw poo poo messes up too. My guy will just ignore the input sometimes when I try to tell him when the ball is in air from 3B/SS "hey throw this immediately to 1B". Which almost always ends up with him sitting there like an idiot and me mashing throw all too late.

Dang it even happens offline? I was referring to online h2h, DD included. It's obviously a latency issue but it's very strange how I'm not getting lag when pitching/hitting which you'd think is more sensitive.

I'm right there with ya buddy. I sold all the cards worth a poo poo (except that legend, because no one is paying 20k for that guy right now), and spent the initial 12K stubs the preorder gave on the stat boost.

I am hoping that free pack for 10 days of play gives me some card worth selling.

EDIT2:

Those of you with RTTS closers - has it gotten any better with regards to the points earned? I remember that with not nearly enough games played you basically *had* to buy points to make it as a closer. Have they made it so you earn a reasonable amount of points per appearance?

Yeah I am hearing lots of audio bugs. I bought the downloadable version on Easter because I couldn't be assed to go to the store. After the initial download but before the entire game is installed you can play an exhibition game Royals vs Giants. You play as the Giants and while I was down by 3 the commentators kept talking about how the Giants were up by 3.

Also in RTTS I play centerfielder and after making a mistake and dropping a shallow routine fly ball I hear the commentators chastising the runner for not going for extra bases after the ball bounced off the outfield wall.

I am getting weird out of place stuff when I bat too. I hit a triple and they comment that the hit is scored as an error when it's clearly not an error.


Anyone else getting stuff like this?

EDIT- I will say that the gameplay itself feels really good this year though. The dynamic difficulty has worked really well for me and I have always been a terrible hitter.

I'm guessing that mostly had top do with the game not being 100% installed, though I'm on the ps3 version so I can't speak with any authority.

I've been getting weird pop in glitches in RRTS, though. The catcher floats into position like he's taking an aerial dump behind home plate. Had it happen with my pitcher once or twice, but the catcher's been dropping deuces 3 - 4 times per game.

Still lining it off the pitcher multiple times per game and it's always an out as somebody always picks it up (often the pitcher) and makes an easy throw to first. They need to reduce the hit box on pitchers.

So is it me or is the game just a huge bitch when you get to the bigs? I realize there's a huge jump in talent from AA to MLB, but the game just throws a ***lot*** more balls. On top of that, it feels like the game has all of a sudden gotten unforgiving with the cursor placement. What would have been a double is now a foul off. I use zone hitting.

I had something like that happen and the game scored it a double. I guess they were saying it's a double and I advanced on E9 or whatever. I was impressed it was able to do that though, I figured the game would just take a poo poo and score the triple an E9.

When it comes to hitting pitchers with liners, there does seem to be some progress; about one third of the time it happens to me, the pitcher actually goes down, and doesn't get the ball because he's injured.


and it's really loving telling that I'm counting injuring pitchers with liners as progress

Online is totally broken now. If you put a ball in play, you have to make guesses as to where each runner should end up. The actual defense is balls teleporting through gloves, warping back into gloves, and runners disappearing and marked as out for mysterious reasons as the ball still sits in the outfield.

If you actually finish a game in DD, it seems about 25% likely that the win will be counted as a loss. The result will show your team with a higher score but mark the loser as the winner.

The hitting is lag free though :downs:

So is it an element of your fielding stat that your fielder just decides to ignore you occasionally when you tell him to throw? Sometimes i do, and no meter comes up. Sometimes I'll field a grounder, tell him to throw, the meter comes up, and...

My guy just stares at the third baseman like a boob.

No I'm just bad which irritates me because I do dumb things like swing low at off speed balls. But I love how the game punishes me for being bad and doing dumb things which is something not all sport games can say
