Do you have to start your franchise over for the patch to apply?

Does the update affect CPU pitchers in rtts in regards to pitch counts?

you dont have to start over for it to apply... i think everyone is just happy to get the patch so its almost a knee jerk reaction to start over.


im at work and cant test but if the only thing i wanted fixed (starter stamina) in QC isnt working still, then ill just play a full game.... i know we pay our hard earned money for this product and we want something that "works", but if you compare the SDS team against all the other sports dev teams out there, they are more in tuned with wanting to give us a finished product.

i am 34 years old... i remember the days of old sports games that we just lived with what was given to us... nhl 94, skating across the crease for an automatic goal, etc..... enjoy what is given to us, if you want a carbon copy of baseball on tv, then watch tv... its a video game... glitches happen.

sorry, ill end my rant now. i just want to thank the devs for what they have done for us and the roster and slider gurus for making the game even more enjoyable than it already is.

As a fellow 34-year-old with the same memories, I'll echo this sentiment. This dev team is the best, as has been since MLB 06 The Show.

I walked guys on purpose, threw balls in the dirt, walked guys with 20 speed, and the issue is still in need of attention. That being said... I seriously think that people are busting chops here on the patch issue. We have light-hitting second basemen hitting 455 foot opposite field bombs, we have catchers that have gloves that apparently have no collision detection for the balls thrown into them, and we have runners that take bases at will when a ball bounces two feet from the batter's box. But the priority for the developers in the "all I care about" department, is to make sure that the grass color in a night game isn't "too green" and that batters have matte helmets instead of shiny, reflective ones? Seriously? Matte colored helmets take priority over balls that pass through gloves with no regard to physics or mass? I'll assume folks are joking about this. ~syf

It's clear to me with only one programmer assigned to franchise too many features have been added and the programmer is overwhelmed. Quick counts was a big mistake - just another gimmick which people expect to play realistically when the basic concept itself isn't realistic - and the programmer has to spend time trying to figure out how to patch it. New features were quick manage and critical situations which are only for sim users.

I play offline franchise manage mode full counts which is the basic game and I don't even bother with bug reports any more because I think the programmer is too overwhelmed with other stuff to get around to fixing the basic game.

One thing that is still there (devs didn't list this in the patch) is the QC sim game where the reliever comes in and picks up the pitch count from the previous pitcher. Surprised that didn't make it in.

EDIT: This is happening in non QC also.
