I noticed the same thing a couple years ago but from what I can tell the one pitch thing only affects the counts in the pitcher/batter reports. The pitch count itself and the fatigue looked proper IIRC.... could be wrong though.

Russell, here is the problem I see to the much anticipated player lock feature. From what I just listened too, you only get to play defense when it involves your player... This takes all of the intensity or challege away from the mode. I want to play lock mode on every pitch just like in NCAA footballs Lock feature. Can you imagin playing football in lock mode on only plays your are involved in? That would be really boring to me. I hope I am wrong and there is an option to play every pitch without selecting a pitcher or at least "balls in play" option.

Thanks,
Blitz

Is this what you're referring too?

This means you can choose to watch every pitch of the game, only result plays, only fielding plays, etc. Of course, the default is Classic, which just simulates to your player's next appearance.

Yes, this was first known from the Taiwan videos.

Oh yeah. I'm definitely getting through a 162 game season this year. I can see it now. QC 2 of the games in a series, Player lock the third one. Maybe do 2 of each for 4 game series. Should be able to get through multiple seasons without simming anything, sacrificing stats or feeling disconnected from my team.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it said that BR Ability is now Steal? Same kinda rating and algorithm for computing it, but just a different name?
