I just went back into my LAD franchise to play the 2nd game of the SD series with QC on. Erlin gets pulled after 3.1 IP with 1 run surrendered. He had 1 out but let a man on 1st and 2nd. He had 60 pitches. He'd struck out 6 batters and walked 1.

This is basically what I saw in my first test. I had a guy get to 6 IP once and 7 IP once, but in close games, guys often got pulled after 3 and 4 innings of work, and the MRP had as many innings as the #1 starter in about a week's time.

Does that sound realistic?

I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but I don't think I can play QC like this. And full games are hard w/ 2 young kids.

Baseball stat nuts, please correct me if I'm wrong about this sort of thing seeming off. I'm admittedly still learning about baseball, but I don't remember QC working like this before. Is it now routine to yank starers in the early innings even when the starter hasn't given up more than 1-2 runs?

I haven't been able to download the patch because the family is playing Zelda. Love that game too.

Also, I agree with u 100% that home runs weren't an issue pre patch. And, frankly, because I don't use QC's I can't say I'm having problems with starting pitchers being removed too soon.

My only complaint is pitches in the dirt that result in runners advancing. While I think it needs addressing I hope they don't completely remove it. Sometimes I think folks would love to bury change ups in the dirt without repercussion.

This patch may be okay or maybe not but I'd just like to keep things where they are for now. My question is, is there a way to finish this season without downloading the patch? I think my patches have always downloaded automatically. I was on taking BP against Kershaw this morning and I hope it hasn't already installed.

Were you using a specific slider set downloaded from the vault?

Has anyone started a new franchise after the patch and tested the SP problem? I started a Cardinals franchise, and the Cubs kept Arrieta in deep into the game, I think the 8th inning. He had almost 100 pitches, I think I got 6 or 7 hits off him but didn't score. Had a couple of hits late in the game, one being a leadoff double and he still wasn't pulled. This was on default sliders, All-Star level with QC on. Maybe you do need to start a new franchise? Or maybe it just happened that one game, not sure yet as I haven't played another game.

You almost wonder if everyone has actually downloaded and installed the patch on their systems. It seems unlikely that everything in the patch notes has not been fixed, no? If that is the case, then it's a big whoops on Sony's part.

Post patch I'm still not seeing any issues with starting pitchers getting pulled early. I do not play quick counts and I use my own Legend sliders and I'm having no issues with starters being pulled.

However an issue that I am still having post patch is that stealing bases is still automatic by simply tapping the L2 button non-stop until the pitcher pitches. If you tap L2 non-stop until the pitcher pitches, the runner gets an enormous jump and can steal at almost a 99% clip. It doesn't matter how fast or slow the runner is or what you have the base running success slider set to, they always get an enormous jump. I don't want to have to set a house rule that I can't steal ever.

The easiest way to verify it inside of the game (meaning, not the PS4 update history from the dashboard which is probably the easiest way overall) is to run a CPU vs CPU game and see if the MPH displays. If it does, your game is updated. If not, you're still on 1.03 .
