MLB The Show 17 Patch 1.04 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

[Scooter3]

I have a simple request I've been making legendary rosters since they were first offered.
Through the years there's been 1 thing that really bugs me.
When I make a legendary player I want them to have the correct number on their Jersey.
Simple in concept but not so simple in practice.
There's been work arounds.
I brought up a roster from last years franchise and for the life of me I cannot get number four on the Jersey of Jackie Jensen( Boston Red Sox )
I had a work around in this year's roster but this was Ported from 16 franchise and I don't know of a workaround.

First, we know SCEA's intent is to create a simulation (and thus you lose some control), but we don't know to what extent. We can hypothesize all day, but we just don't know to what extent certain real-life variables influence in-game simulation and performance. Before we dive into whether player attitude / mental condition should be part of MLB the Show, we should figure out if it's even in the game.

Basically, if there's not a reasonable videogame reason for every outcome in a game, then there's no reason to play, IMO.

In the end it's all moot anyway. There's no way anything like that exists is in any modern sports game that has microtransactions. Can you imagine the backlash if people found out some games were essentially fixed and there's nothing the player can do about it? LOL

I just wonder if there are some games where the dice roll, or the ugly-stick gets waived onto a guy, and for the sake of stats, he just plays a crummy game? Happens in real life, and sometimes, when it rains it pours. ~syf

I get that but even on his very worst day Jose Altuve isn't gonna just stand there and let a guy reach 1st base or botch a simple throw with Kendrys Morales running down the line like he did in those videos

And if that's something that could possibly be coded into the game then that ish really needs to be fixed

The DP turn and the baserunning mistake is something that I can live with but the other 2 just shouldn't happen

I just noticed they fixed the sun angle at SunTrust Park with this patch, looks beautiful. Nice surprise.

Have you watched the NBA this year? It's commonplace in real life.

It's commonplace for players to suddenly, and without an explanation within the realm of the game, have no control over the results of their actions?

Chuck Knoblauch may have some insight into this topic.
