The Mets are carrying 15 pitchers right now in my RTTS. They don't even have a 4th outfielder on the big club, or an extra middle infielder. They've got an extra 1B and catcher and that's it, every other position goes 1 deep. I haven't gotten particularly deep into franchise yet but I've heard other people mention this problem with their franchises as well.

Can't really mess with that type if stuff in a patch. Way to risky.

Your franchise is doomed?

LOL! Yeah I gotta agree, his post was pretty Apocolyptic.

He's talking about how league ERA's plummet the further you sim into Franchise. Which I would agree with.

The issue seems to me that too many high potential pitchers are getting drafted, and most C's and especially B's are turning into A's which are all dominating the league.

Another year and the billboard ads behind home continue to change mid windup. R2 reminder on screen until next year. Pretty disappointing, I know nobody here seems to be bothered by either but damn just kills it for me.

All I want is full presentation when playing cpu in DD

"Doomed" might be a reach.. But there are a lot of customers that would appreciate you admitting that there is a legitimate issue here.

In the excellent live roster there are very few pitchers in the 90's, and the average starting pitching is probably about 78 overall. Some MLB pitching staffs don't have a single Starter in the 80's.

Around years 6-8, There are mid 80's SP's in the minors, and as you advance to seasons 12+ you'll find 90+ rated SP's in AAA blocked from the majors by a staff of aces.

The secondary effect is the massive contracts the league full of aces demands. Since the money they demand is based on the overall rating and not their actual value to the team, we're left with dozens of 90+ rated players sitting in free agency - including position players, where the ratings are accurately dispersed. So while there are 25 teams that need a star SS, one will sit unsigned for multiple seasons because the Dodgers instead decided to pay their 7th best starter 12M/y.

The alternative is to edit literally every pitcher on every team, While not all pitchers need a potential/overall edit, they do need their velocity decreased to avoid the entire league throwing 97+ heat.

There is a lot of work that need to be done on the the current progression logic, I don't expect you guys to fix it in an update, but give us an indication that you understand that pitchers don't add 12 MPH to their fastball out of high school, and that players don't get drafted as slow runners and develop speed as they age.

Defensive alignment graphic is broken offline as well, no fix?
nothing mentioned about the SB overlay graphic that has everyone with 5 CS
and defensive alignment has been broken for years, the setting doesn't stick unless you redo the alignment each time, extreme shift with 2 outs has the shortstop and third baseman standing on top of each other and I also think there is a glitch when you do shift, CPU batter almost always hits against the shift

Postseason pitcher fatigue is not a bug? Ok.

Guess we need 7 man rotations in the playoffs when it should be less not more.
