And I don't even watch MLB!

Getting to create your character and try rising from the minors to the big leagues is kinda fun. They could make your stats go up a bit faster, and not have stats drop if you perform poorly, but overall, pretty fun journey. One of the best things is getting to choose nickname voiceclips that announcers say for your character's name. I forget what famous guy recorded all the clips, but the library is pretty damn deep, so you can make up funny names like His Dudeness Catfish or Woodrow Woodyard.

Maybe if you're playing deep right field or something. If you're playing the starting pitcher, things are crazy every inning.

I love the Show. I've put countless hours into the series since the 2009 edition. I've always loved baseball games since the NES days.

This is the first baseball game I've played since the Atari days, honestly. The game kinda skimps on some tutorials, though, at least for pitchers. It'd be nice to know more information on some of the pitches before you're permanently locked into 'em. I made one of my CaCs have some crazy stupid repertoire (I think it was four-seamer + knuckle curve + screwball) and it basically turned him into a laughingstock, lmao.

The Show is always great, one of the best sports titles every year.

I love RTTS and I'm so glad I didn't buy this year at launch like I normally do.

Been playing a shitload of it this last week. Started as a 2B and they are testing me at SS now. I turn the sliders all the way up on hitting and power so I've got a like .600 batting average and 10 HRs in the first month. lol

Oh yeah, I forgot about the sliders. I should screw around with that stuff, because my dudes can feel crazy underpowered at times. I just had my first CaC (catcher I named after Dale's alias on King of the Hill, lmao) hit a home run after days of playing, and that was a pretty long wait.

The character I've played the longest is already in the 2021 season and still hasn't been called up to the majors, so sliders might be the ticket to the big leagues. Playing for the Montgomery Biscuits just ain't the same, lol.

I remember feeling legitimately excited when I found out they included voice clips for some of the names included in that one NES baseball game with the really butchered American names. Willie Dustice is still the name of my first created player in Show '19.

The Show has always been the highest quality of sports games. That's obviously a very low bar to clear, but still. It's made with noticeably more care than EA shits out in Madden and FIFA every year.

I haven't used the feature on PS4 because I've got no music on it, but one of my favourite things about the PS3 editions of The Show was that you could play your own music. I have quite a bit of MP3s on my PS3 so I could make my own in game playlist.

I wish more games would do that.

I just had a fond flashback of NFL 2K5

Love me some RTTS. I like playing as an outfielder (that's what I was in high school) and getting to make spectacular diving catches or robbing home runs.

The manager called me into the office and told me to stop trying to steal bases. Then the very next game when I drew a walk he told me to steal and I go caught so he benched me.

I was screwing around with my intro music the other day and saw you could put your own MP3s on there. Pretty lazy about doing it, but since half the in-game soundtrack is kinda mediocre, maybe it's not a bad idea.

My manager told me to steal a base when I was playing as a 25 speed pitcher or something. He was clearly doing bath salts.

Yep I have my own custom walk up music and home run music. Plus I got a bunch of yells from a soundboard that I added to the game as fan cheers/jeers

Wow, this RTTS game I was in went up to 21 innings.

I should look up to see if I can tweak the settings so the manager can't take me out if I want to stay in. I think there was something like that in franchise mode (pure manual subbing), but I never bothered looking for my CaCs.
