RTTS Winter Challenge

[Mike Lowe]

With about 3 months to go before release of MLB The Show '17, I am wanting to put together one last run with the current game.

I thought it would be fun to share our stories and experiences using a similarly challenging set of rules for us all to create a new RTTS and play. We could compare our experiences, as obviously the in-game leaderboards don't always tell the most accurate story.

Rules:
HoF sliders (I recommend reading mine on the OS Show slider forum, but tweak if you would like)

No custom/boost equipment of any kind

Start as a 22 year old (18 year olds aren't in AA, typically)

Showtime off

Zone hitting

PCI is ok to use, but no other visual aids (strike zones, hot zones, etc)

For pitchers, I personally prefer "broadcast" view, and I remove all guides as well, including ball marker and vibration. It really makes you focus to paint corners.

Must enter draft

So what else would make this fun and challenging?

I ended up being drafted #18 overall as a LF/RF by the Nationals. I expect it to be about 2 years before Worth is gone (contract), and I get my shot.

No real competition in the minors I'm concerned with, so will just relax and play my game until I get a chance.

HoF? Ugh, I'll pass. I struggle on All Star at MLB level until my RttS player gets up into the 90's overall anyway, I think HoF would cause me to rage quit.

I'd say give it a shot. The fact that you're starting in AA is the perfect proving ground. No one is born ready to hit at the MLB level, and I feel HoF does a very good job of simulating that growth.

Sure, I am game! What about visual settings, I play with an entire clean screen look no aides whatsoever.

I like that. I'll update the first post.

Also should we have it set for legend at AA level and Allstar at Mlb level?
