What’s New in RTTS
Road to the Show is still the same RTTS that longtime fans have come to enjoy, with some new events tacked on and a couple of new quality of life features to make the mode more fun. First, there is a new Bowman Scout Day. Newly made RTTS players will have their skills evaluated by a scout to determine their initial draft stock. Batters will show off their hitting skills, pitchers will pitch; it’s about what you would expect.
A new feature added in RTTS this year that is especially nice is being able to play multiple games in a row without having to return to the menu. Meaning as usual, you can focus on in-game moments that are important to your player to quickly finish a game, and then when the game is over, just jump right to the next one and keep going.
Another cool feature is Showtime, which allows you to slow the game down to help you nail down pivotal moments. For example: Bases loaded, two outs, full count, here’s the pitch… You can slow that down and make sure you get it right instead of being a goat. You’ll have a limited amount of Showtime however, so don’t waste it.
Finally, training also now includes unlockable perks that you can use in-game either for a pitch, at bat, or an entire game. As you can probably surmise, these perks give you an edge to help you come through in certain in-game situations.
