Creating RTTS players for Franchise mode

Creating rookie baseball players for use in MLB The Show: Road To The Show. The Road to the Show (RTTS) mode has quickly become a popular mode, and with that comes an emphasis on controlling a lesser-talented rookie player for an entire career. It�s quite real. But so is franchise mode. With that being said, I�ve come up with a new method for creating baseball players. I start with a new spreadsheet, and enter in the ratings of a positional player who emphasizes speed, contact and glove. And then on the row below I enter in the attributes for a player who emphasizes strength, power and arm.Then, I have all the various skills such as contact, power, fielding ability, base running ability listed in each subsequent column. In the last column is the total number of points allocated to each player. When added up in the last column, you�ll see that the attribute ratings awarded to each type of player is fairly equal. It varies for each position, but every player ranges from 500 to 600 points. The attributes range from 0 to 60. So keep that in mind when creating your players. This is the most fair and authentic method in player creation on MLB The Show. Come up with a list of fictitious characters you�ve conjured up. Make them from common baseball countries such as the United States, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada, Japan, etc. Envision them playing Major League Baseball. What do they look like? Customize them with a specific height, weight, uniform number etc. Then assign each player his attributes using the 0 to 60 ratings. Once you have designed a plethora of players in your database then create them on your MLB game. You could either leave each of them as a free agent and wait for MLB teams to sign them or assign them to a team yourself. Personally I prefer to assign every one of my created players to an MLB team. This ensures them of playing minor league baseball right away as they won�t quite be good enough to play in the show right away. They�ll develop in the minors and work their way up, just like real life. Scatter the players around Major League Baseball, and see them flourish and become the superstars of their new teams. You�ll probably feel a sense of accomplishment when these player begin making a name for themselves and making the all-star teams and winning awards and World Series titles.

MLB The Show game needs the World Baseball Classic tournament on the game. It should be playable mode by itself and should also be included in Road To The Show & Franchise mode.

It would also be neat to have customizable league sizes. Imagine how competitive a small league of 16 teams would be. The remaining 16 MLB teams would be their minor league teams for their extra players. Or perhaps and 8 team league with 3 minor league teams that would also be full of MLB talent.*

We should be able to control any player and use him in RTTS mode. All MLB, AAA, AA, A and ALL CREATED PLAYERS should be eligible to be used in this mode as well.*

I like to create all my players within the RTTS player parameters. It's more authentic and more of a challenge.*
