At this point, I'm not counting on it being fixed. I'm just hopeful it doesn't find its way into next year's game, like other bugs/mistakes in the past..

Why don't you write a productive post that actually lists everything you say it "broke" as opposed to fixed instead of garbage posts like this that add absolutely nothing.....nothing to the forum and does not help the developers improve the game in a future patch.

Getting really sick of this hyperbole 10 year old cry baby crap. It's so easy to just post the game is broken. So trendy in fact. It is the new trend...post to a message board how the game is "broken".

Far from it......so far from the truth. So again list to me everything it broke more than it fixed. Maybe you can be a game developer and tell them everything it "broke" more than it fixed.

I am waiting to read it. Because here is what it fixed. And this is fact. Play the game and find out.



OFFLINE GAME-PLAY:
Dynamic Difficulty is now working as intended while batting.
The ball trail option will now correctly correspond in-game if set to off, or fade.
Several adjustments were made to the auto base running mechanics during offline game-play.
Fixed an issue within RTTS while pitching with certain Perks equipped would result in a crash.
Corrected the order in which the "Preloading a Throw” and “Double Play” tutorial appear.
Following a Year to Year file upload in Road To The Show, the player card stats would display incorrect team and player info. This should now be corrected.
Tweaks and adjustments were made to AI behavior and animations that should streamline game-play performance. Areas of adjustment include: Fielders tagging moving base runners, Routes to catch balls, running catch animations, Fielders correctly covering bases on complex double play situations, etc…
Within Franchise mode, some generated or additional players were listed as born in “Alaska” instead of their correct place of origin. This should now be corrected and no longer happen.
Adjustments made to both online and offline pitcher/reliever energy levels.
New scanned heads added to update user’s experience following a year to year file upload.
Fixed numerous hangs, crashes, soft locks, etc., reported by the community through the bug reporting tool.
Sponsors should now give rewards.

ONLINE GAME-PLAY:
Fixed a bug that could cause a loss for users who requested a friendly quit at certain times.
Resolved a number of freezing, soft locks, instability and crashes during online play.
Fixed an issue where a pitch could occasionally change path on its’ way to the plate, shifting from inside the zone to outside the zone within a frame.
Addressed an issue under certain circumstances a pitcher would automatically pitch when the batter came out of Batter's Eye Cam.
Changes were made to the Batters Eye Cam: How long it can be used, how many times it can be accessed per at bat, etc… This should limit exploits, but keep the feature usable for its’ intended purpose.
We’ve shortened the total amount of pause time from 6 minutes to 5 minutes during an online game.
The pitchers pitch type interface will now be hidden if the batter is using Guess Pitch or Pitch History (L2 Button). This should help the user who is pitching understand when they can and cannot start the pitching motion.
Fixed a bug where the user was not being awarded the “Free Swings” trophy in an Online Home Run Derby if specific operations were being performed.

AUDIO
Resolved issues where in game intro/walk-up music would not play properly.
Tuned commentary triggers to be more accurate in one-sided games.
Reduced the amount of repetitive audio clips for specific players.
Fixed an issue where player yells were being disabled through the controller within Road To The Show. An occasional sound burst could also occur during game-play.
Various other general bug fixes.


So give me the complete list of broken things that out weigh all these fixes.

Hey Armour - Any idea what they did to adjust the pitcher energy levels? If I had to guess I'd say that they weren't going down quite as fast as they should, but that's not a strong opinion on my part.

Mr. Sword,

[Side Effect]

Noticed it fixed a bug that was annoying me. If you gave a player a branded compression sleeve like Nike, it would turn the other arm's wrist tape white no matter what. I attached an image to the bug report so maybe that helped them get it done.

I agree with A&S 100 %.. We play Offline and Franchise only. I have seen great improvements; I think this is the best, smoothest addition of the show to be produced yet. I love this game. Yes, I know there are still issues but the Dev's are listening and trying to do their best. In Offline, The auto base running has been improved 100%. Since the patch, I have played many games and I have only had a few issues but far from being game killers. In check swing, the base umpires never call a strike. In my last game, my 2b made a diving catch, and then a message came across the board that he was seriously hurt and showed him being escorted off the field stating he was going for x-rays and would be out for a lengthily time. But at the end of the game.. He was not hurt. Finally, I like to play with pitch confidence turned OFF. I have it off in the main settings and in franchise. It starts out with it off, but for some reason it keeps turning itself back on. I don't play any other mode than franchise, so I can't speak for others that might have serious issues online or different modes. But if you are a franchise player, I can't see any reason why you wouldn't love this game. There are some things I don’t quite understand, like why Michael Brantley has happy faces all the way down his moral except for his contract, which he is making 12 million, yet over all, he is very angry. I guess if I had my wish, If they could patch the vs. Left and vs. Right batting stats and add or fix the minor league stats, it would be as close to perfect as it could get.

How is this version smoother than last year's version? Just curious to know....

I have a very good idea.

When I see Ichiro's BIG vsL wedge and a vsR wedge that's like half the size....I think it's safe to say you can tell which one he's better at.

Same for Trumbo vsL and vsR. Or Harper in my carryover...you couldn't tell the difference between a wedge that represents 90s (his vsR ratings) and 50s (his vsL ratings)?

I can tell the difference between Buxton's 80-rated wedge in reaction and a 60 rated one of Sano.

Is it hard to tell the difference between 78 and 83? Probably. Can you tell a difference on the field? Probably not. For significant differences on the field, you can tell with the wedges.

I don't even has a great, uber, 4K or whatever TV.

It's called taking chances and trying to come up with new ideas. Whether or not it's "totally useless" is up to your opinion. Not changing things or trying new ideas also opens you up to criticism.
