How is calling someone lazy, or basically stupid telling it like it is?

You can talk about the issues of the game without the backhanded insults or attacks of a devs character or intelligence.

It doesn't appear stolen bases in manage mode was fixed. Oh well.

And what would communicating do?

Seriously? What could they say that would matter? If the patch is causing issues - talking won't fix it. Fixing the issues will fix it.

If they have a limited staff (not saying they do, don't know the size of the team but having played games from small devs makes me say this), I'd rather them putting all manpower on fixing things than trying to pat angry players on the head and soothe them...which isn't going to work because they, too, want issues fixed, not just words, which will just be considered "trying to spin, play PR, make it so we'll buy the next game" anyway...so what's the point?

I mean, if people just called you lazy, incompetent, stupid, can't program, don't know what you're doing, putting out a "disaster" of the game, what would YOU say to people like that, especially when you have a workload of trying to fix the things are indeed going awry with the game?

Hopefully we get another patch that will take care of the remaining issues. My biggest worry is that with each patch seemingly breaking something else, we will end up at a point where they say, "Sorry, is what it is, we have to transition to MLB 17, and can't spend more time fixing 16."

Hopefully they won't, but there will be a cutoff point that they have set internally that is precisely that. Work on patches for 16 other than rosters will cease, and all development time will move to 17. One of the pitfalls of a yearly release cycle. ( the bad you have to take with the good of a yearly release though! )

They have always been pretty good about making sure the current game is in good enough shape before moving on to next years game though, so...confidence high for now.

Yup. Exactly. Pretty much why they shouldn't say anything because there is nothing to say. They know the issues. They are going to try and fix them. Simple as that.

I think some are seeing issues with the OSF showing incorrect stats... I havent seen it though

I saw it pre-patch. Just added 5 CS's to a player's stats whenever the SB OSD in-game appeared. Didn't affect the real stats outside of a game.

Haven't played a season/franchise mode game to check it post-patch yet (plan to today) but that pic posted was a good sign.
