Maybe I read it wrong. I guess I got excited thinking it was removed..Hopefully they did much retooling.

You know...Mitch Rapp is much calmer and cooler in real life!

Too bad about Vince Flynn.

They revamped the advancement system and removed the advancement goals.

This might seem obvious but I thought I'd ask anyway. Completely removing advancement goals..does that mean 3 homeruns in the next 4 series is gone?

So i guess it's safe to assume you won't have to worry about 3 homers in 4 series.

Yep, no more books from Flynn is depressing. He was so young..it's a shame.

Thank god. The advancement goals were always kind of annoying unrealistic for position players. But it seems like last year's RTTS glitched with pitchers and I was kind of getting annoyed when my AL pitcher was getting chewed out for not hitting enough homeruns.

The biggest problem with advancement goals, IMO, was when you reached the big league club. You should be benched or demoted based on stats. If I'm hitting .340 with a bazillion home runs I shouldn't be sent down because I missed my walk advancement goals by two. No GM is baseball would do that.

I agree with this. I got pissed when I was playing my RTTS the other day. I have broken about 8 MLB records and have a .388 average over my career. I just hit age 44 in the game so I am close to retirement and batting over .400 in this season currently. I missed two goals (get a certain number of homers and touch a certain number of bases) and I got an email from the GM telling me if I didn't get my act together right then he would bench me or send me back to AAA.

No GM in the world would tell a 44 year old hall of fame bound player, who is killing it that season, that he was going to bench him or send him down to the minors. Ever.
