The only thing I see which will impact my franchise - manage mode - is reducing the success rate of bunts which was not a problem for me.

I'm not complaining, the game plays good. My biggest issue which might get fixed for next year's version is being forced into GM mode if I want to carry over my franchise. I'm surprised they got that wrong with carry over franchise being a big selling point early on.

Disappointing to see the boundary issues/warping foul balls at Wrigley are not mentioned in the notes.

Hopefully the bunts are actually addressed. This is their second attempt at reducing the rate of perfect bunts as I recall them saying they fixed it in the last patch.

I love the game, but I'm disappointed that they didn't address certain core things. Maybe it's impossible to change certain things due to the game being compiled already. That doesn't stop me from being disappointed about it. I believe this is the last patch for this year's game.

I don't think I need mention what I'm referring to. I think most of you read it in the other thread that's now closed.

Is the suicide squeeze issue addressed in the bunt fix? Anyone know? That one is super glaring!
