• You can now check your pitcher's energy while you are batting by pressing the d-pad. This will make it easier to decide whether or not to pinch-hit for a tired pitcher


You know one thing I wish they would do instead of just having an energy number would be to take something from an old game I used to play called Earl Weaver Baseball. To get an idea, beyond performance, of how a pitcher was doing you would do a mound visit. A window would pop up and you'd get a line from both the pitcher and catcher about how they felt. For example one I remember vividly. Pitcher: Arm Feels great. Catcher: He's got good stuff. But sometimes you'd get the pitcher saying he could fight through and the catcher saying he was done. It was really cool without just breaking it down to a number.

I would enjoy something like that a little more ambiguous. You would likely be able to check it while batting because the pitcher would be in the dugout.

Looking forward to this game on the PS4 this year. My first Show on the PS4.

Why don't they get rid of all the "dropped third strike's gotta throw to first to get him out" happens way way to often.

Isn't that relative to how you pitch? If you try to bury pitches low in the zone on 2 strike counts, you are going to see more of those situations pop up.

Yes you'll see some but there are way to many, catchers don't drop everyone.

They are not necessarily drops, many are bounced balls.

That's possible. Maybe they could have it so the catcher does a quick tag of runner at home plate as this is what generally happens. The throw down to 1st doesn't take a lot of time but just adds more unnecessary time to a game.

"You can now play/sim games directly from the main Franchise menu without having to search through the entire season calendar"

Games sim very quickly from the main Franchise menu. Wonder if there is any sim logic that goes into simming these games, or if they are pre-determined beforehand.

I also didn't see an option to view the boxscore after simming the game from the Franchise menu.
