It's no longer Sony's fault there's no competition. The market probably cannot sustain two baseball simulation games. Especially with today's costs.

Today it's either AAA games, casual games or indie games. It's really hard to develop those AA games that have higher budgets than casual or indie games and appeal to a smaller segment of the public than AAA games.

Kind of looks like the critical situations might be only for majors and not minors. Hope not as I was planning on getting more involved with my minors teams with this feature. We will see come Thursday though!

Ramone mentioned franchise front office but didn't go into detail about it. Hopefully they will talk about that on Thursday's stream.

make sure sim sliders for cpu starters are 1 or 2 maybe and u will see stamina go appropriately. a pitcher can go 6-innings w/ that amount of pitches.

they also need L/R splits for batters, instead of us having to write it all down in a notebook.

Sounded to me like he answered right then and there that milestones are a part of it. In fact, he was the one who initially brought it up.

I'll have to seep through the video again a little bit, but speaking of the milestone stuff, you could be sitting on 399 home runs for a long time with somebody, for example, and they must prompt you at least once a game if that's the case. I'm assuming they would jump to that person's AB in the first inning? If you say no, does it automatically ask again during the next AB? Next game? The curiosities strike my fancy!

Or, say you do jump in, and you ground out and want to jump back out again with the "Simulate to End" option. Does it prompt you to jump back in with that player when he bats again in the 4th inning?

Very interested to see how this plays out. I would definitely use this feature in franchise mode. Can't play all 162 games of 30+ years.

You are commenting on something in which you have no idea about. This type of comment is not needed or wanted at OS.

Until you see a dev being "complacent", take your opinion off of my forums. Only warning.
