Nope. Does not work at all.

It's no doubt an audio bug. Adam SDS already acknowledged it is being looked into for a future patch on TheSHowNation.

I am confident it will be patched back to the out of the box audio. It is totally FUBAR and sounds like a broken bat, a distorted high frequency sound. It also is clipping for you audio nuts out there who know what I am talking about.

SO glad they acknowledged it right away. And those are sometimes the unintended warts of patches.

So we shall wait for 1.05 to fix it. Other than that....I am loving this game.

The hit variety now is excellent. The power is definitely toned down as well. But the hitting was noticeably different to me.

Now seeing league leaders for doubles properly displayed on the ticker.

It is fixed folks.

The default settings are never ideal. In some cases, default is nowhere close to ideal (manager hook at zero + increased SP stamina has always worked for me in getting realistic SP outings). The ratings of your players and game situation also matters.

I agree, I havent played yet since the patch, and while I am somewhat worried by what Im hearing that the SP being pulled to early when using QC isnt fixed.
However I do think people need to play several games before jumping the gun on this, because as you said different situations can and will impact games differently, and if CPU managers are supposedly smarter this yr, they will treat every situation different. Could be the pitchers thats on the mound dictates whether he gets pulled early, or not. We see this all the time anymore, SP's getting pulled fairly quick to the way it use to be, and managers trust Ace's far more than they do back end of the rotation starters. So maybe thats impacting certain pitchers being pulled early.

I use QC only anymore, and while I did think there was a issue with SP getting pulled early, it wasnt quite as bad as some here saying they were seeing SP getting yanked after 3 or 4 innings. Now days outside of your Ace's, most SP's are 6-7 inning pitchers, especially in the NL with having no DH.

Also as you said, do some slider adjusting to managers hook and stamina, to see if that can fix it, typically with this game, these have always been the sliders that needed tweak each yr with this game. Not that we should have to adjust sliders to fix broken games, it at times is our only hope with games.

Also WTNY, I just noticed you put hell froze over under your name, that gave me a good laugh. That definitely has been the old saying even before I was born about the Cubs, was hell would freeze over before the Cubs were to win a WS, or if they were to win, that meant that the end times that is spoken of in the Bible was near. Hell didnt freeze over, although I dont want to jinx anything on the other old saying, so I will leave that 1 alone,lol. Anyway Congrats on getting to see your team win, my wife and Inlaws are long time Cubs fans too

Honestly The Show is the only sports game where I can have a solid game, a good simulation of the sport it represents without moving any sliders. Unlike Madden or NBA 2K, I can get in and see a better representation of the sport without a single adjustment. That said, in years past I did have to change a few things like the Pitch speed, or the Human Timing since like an idiot I played with Auto Motion Plus on with my TV, but now playing on a monitor with less of a delay, its been pretty solid for me.

Played a CPU vs CPU game and the MPH displayed. So I must be on 1.04. Thanks.

Finally was able to finish my second game post patch, and yes I know it's a small sample size but throwing it out there regardless. My offense has become anemic since the patch, we went from one of the better offenses stat wise as well as ratings wise (Seattle) to suddenly unable to hit or get the ball out of the infield a majority of the time. My average has dropped 9 points in 2 games thanks to hitting 0.173 in those 2 games against Miami of all teams. In the last game I grounded out 19 times and hit into 3 DP's so 22 of my 30 outs (game went 10 innings) were via the ground out, 2 pop-up's and 2 line drive outs hit right at an infielder so 26 of my 30 outs never left the infield. Throw in the still present wild pitch issue (5 in 2 games post patch) and the game just isn't nearly as enjoyable post patch as it was prior. Hopefully they fix these issues and don't cause any others to crop up, prior to the patch I was hoping they would merely cut down on HR's being hit and clean up the wild pitch issue and instead I've got a pathetic offense and the wild pitch issue remains.
