I will be curious to see what if anything happens in future. I'm hoping the newer controller may give some haptic feedback on pitches being thrown. I had heard some rumblings the studio was interested in expanding accessibility, but I highly doubt we'll see that this year. My hope is by 2023 we'll have a much more accessible baseball experience.

Just a heads up but there were as of 2019/2020 updated rosters for the MLB 2K games, but you need to look around for them. Pitching in RTTS is my jam. If MLB 21 is out for PC, there's a trainer for MLB 21 and it comes out on PC, and it has an option to max all my RTTS stats I'm using that. Hopefully the guys at Cheathappens will make one, if not I can always request it for offline and RTTS play. It has a stupidly good franchise mode too, MLB The Show usually does, so hoping I can OCR things with MLB the Show. It'll beat MLB 08 really in PCSX2

@Orrin:

Not totally, I'd need a projector to make sense of my monitor though, and I'm on about projecting it on a wall when sat at a desk levels of make this giant.

I never really like guess pitch honestly since if you guess wrong it screws you over. I'd say if you're doing RTTS, then set up the options how you want.

First off. User sliders. You want the top three all the user timing all the way to the right. If you want to jack up your contact/power then that's on you, but you will want the timing one maxed out to give you a bigger timing window to swing with.

Then, I put fielding on simulated or whatever the option is called, so it skips the fielding, and if I'm playing as a catcher, I skip calling pitches, and set baserunning to only ocur if I'm the lead runner or I set that to simulated, and RTTS difficulty on Rookie. That, in my experience, only ever gives you easy to hit pitches. One fo my RTTS chars cracked 100 home runs in a year for Boston in MLB 16 as a 2B/DH. I was trying for first base and missed, ended up DHing, worked out fine.

Far as simming vs playing games, you'll want to play every start as a pitcher. I could get away with in MLB 14/16/18 simming 7 games, playing 7, and then going through and doing my skill points very very carefully, as a hitter. As a pitcher, I'd do my skill points after every start.

As far as starting an RTTS, I'd say base it off an existing player so you can get the height/weight/etc sorted out and just need to do the name/nickname stuff, and for pitchers,  I like to just hold down the button and let it go and get random pitches. Forkball/sinker/slider pitcher? Why not. I'd argue also make a starter, you only play every few days but you face most of the batters and get skill points every pitch you throw and batter you face.

And nobody told me if this is coming out for PC, I'm getting mixed responses on Google. Some say yes. Some say no, Xbox only, others say it's coming on Sony's own storefront

It's not bad.
There really aren't any accessibility enhancements in 21, but the haptic feedback on ps5 could really add some level of accessibility if they leverage it more.
I'm hoping for some enhancements in 22.

One thing I would just love to see from the show is just a tiny sound to know when the ball is being pitched. It doesn't have to be anything crazy. Just a little something would do it. That one little change alone would make the game so much more playable right then and there. Will it happen though? No... no no probably not.

the MLB 2K games had it too. I really wish those games were still being made. They could be a bit clunky and weird in some aspects, but even so.

RBI 21 does not have it.
smb3 does.
and we may get some stuff next year. Hopefully.

The only one I can offer help with is classic pitching, holding it down is the power, IIRC. As for aiming yes it's guesswork until you get the feel of how far a pitch goes and how far it is away from where you think it'll go. Pitcher is one of my fave RTTS positions. As for additional pitches, I believe* that's under the stat increase screeen that I'm not sure where it is, nose around the main RTTS screen where you play next appearence and so forth

No, but pitcher is easiest to get to grips with. I posted some tips up there, and I can say back in the PS3 days I had quite a few hitters going and had a successful shortstop on MLBTS 16-18. Pitcher is however the easiest since you're not batting or baserunning and you're not expected to be amazingly good with the bat, vs being a hitter who, well, can't hit and gets screwed over by the game's AI coding in RTTS with how it's set up

EDIT: Alright, franchise mode looks doable actually with OCR as well, since, if I recall right, you can sim the games or set the games to be played computer vs computer, I think...?

In SMB there are sounds for when  a run comes across the plate. The umpire will also call out when a ball is caught.

The show has a couple of different pitching modes. There is one where you use a meter, one where the strength of your pitches is determined by how long you hold down the cross button, and one where pressing the cross button just throws the pitch.
I do hope for some narrated menus as this would really make things like RTS and even Diamond Dynasty more reasonable.
Brandon says he's going to compile some notes and send them off to Sony, so I'm optimistic that we may see something next year. What that something will be? I don't know.
