Well it took until the end of April but Adam Wainwright got his first win of the year as we beat the Reds 3-2 to sweep the series.

Wainwright is now 1-3 with a 5.32 ERA.

I thought I would hate the close play slides but I actually find myself enjoying them. should have been optional though.
The only thing is I see it triggered even on non-close plays


I would kill to have 16's budget system over 17's.

Just beat the Phillies with a pinch hit walk off homerun in the 10th by Matt Carpenter.

Holliday tied it in the 9th with a solo shot of his own, his first of the year.

So glad I switched back to this game

Yes I am!

Even though I lost the rubber match with the Phillies as Franco doubled home the go ahead run with 2 outs in the 9th off of Rosenthal. Lost 3-2.

These are the two biggest issues I had with '17. Like you, hitting feels off to me this year. I feel as though its too overpowered, and not just in terms of hitting homeruns.

Also, I HATE the new budget system in '17. Way too confusing. Simpler is better. And hopefully they will revert it back to the old style in '18.

Well I am now about 60 games into my return to '16 and I must say that I've settled in and any thoughts that I've had about returning to '17 have diminished. I'm firmly committed to playing '16 for this year and will wait to see what '18 has to offer next March.

I recommend that anyone who may not be finding as much enjoyment in '17 as they did in '16, to consider making the switch back. While there are definitely things that '17 does that '16 cannot do, '16 plays a solid game of baseball that can carry you through until '18 hits the shelves next March.

Patch has been good. Not having a single problem with '17. Just can't go back.
