For sure.

I just played a Postseason game to test out a couple of 1985 teams.
I simmed through the season...so not the Postseason mode.
Rain...and by the 7th inning, the lines were nearly completely gone.

That's always been the issue. If there are no free spots the CPU will never sign anyone. This is something I've always run into the past 4 years. If you follow weekly minor league or MLB transactions and release someone the CPU will claim or sign a player most of the time from tests I've run.

You use 3/5 pitch speeds - so yeah, that will work to keep steal rates around MLB average as a whole. I've capitulated and have raised timing to adjust as I actually do better with the faster pitch speeds. I do still wish they would do something with the system so it's not tied to pitch speeds, which are supposed to be cosmetic/visual only. To your point with working with the team, Nomo's put a bug report and I've upvoted.

I don't think pitch speed makes a difference with being able to steal bases. I play with pitch speed at 5/7 on HOF and both me and the CPU have a pretty good steal %. So I have to disagree with you that the pitch speed kills base stealing.

As good as this game is. I just can't even accept this being a Sports GOTY contender with all these bugs. How is the development of this game getting worst?

It's amazing how people take for granted how good this game actually is. With that being said, I believe the patch makes it play even smoother offline. All I play is franchise. Default all star. Directional hitting. Meter pitching. I've saw more hit variety and more balls in the gap post patch. Outfielders with lower ratings don't get to near as much IMO. Game is playing great. Also I've never really noticed the frame rate issues other than in cut scenes and foul balls. Post patch these issues seemed toned down as well. Really enjoying this game. Thanks SCEA.
PS: We could be on the other system with virtually no baseball game this year. Best show I've played dating back to 06

Weird. I was in franchise mode in Wrigley and I wasn't seeing it in multiple games. I'll try another stadium/mode tomorrow.

It is still there but it's not close to being true to real life, around the better box anyway. Bottom of the 5th in the show probably looks like bottom of the 1st IRL.

Hopefully next year we'll see homeplate get dirty as well, after a slide at home you see the lines crossed but the plate perfectly clean. They can include an animation where the ump brushes homeplate.
