Sliders are not there to fix. They are there to tune and customize the game to your style of play. Huge misconception about sliders.....just huge. Again I am speaking for myself.

I want to second this....if done well, sliders should be to enhance the gameplay.

The problem is that many people react to tiny sample sizes, claim something is 'broken', and promptly try to 'fix' the issue with sliders. In many cases though, the effort to 'fix' the supposed 'issue' winds up causing real problems and people go down a rabbit hole. You see this a lot on madden...where slider adjustments cause more issues than they 'fix'.

The Show though is rather forgiving when it comes to slider changes...it is virtually impossible to 'break' it. Thus, slider tweaks are all about enhancement and tailoring the gameplay to our own desires and skill level.

Question: Have some of you experienced the "10th win of the season" after every win in Franchise mode? I have a record of 25-16 in my franchise and after every game, Vas says that's the yankees 10th win of the season. Anyone experiencing this? It happens after every victory. It's stuck at "10th win" of the season.

In my RTTS when I get to September its says "40th win of the season".... and he repeats it through the whole month. Still doing it after patch too as well as showing division standing for wrong teams.

99? No. 75, maybe.

If I order a black Corvette, I expect the factory to ship me a black Corvette, not Watkins Glen gray metallic.

How much work could it have been to get/make this right. And how many QA testers did this slide past?

But Bettis has 67 stamina - barely acceptable for a SP. He was beyond done as you can see by his energy even after pitching well (0 ER, 4 H 8 K with the tying run on 2nd). This was a play now game, but I'm not sure he would have fully recovered for his next start if this was a franchise game. The AI does not hook based on pitch counts. It hooks by weighing the pitcher's remaining energy against the game situation. This is the same behavior I've seen from the manager AI in full games since release day. And I just don't understand what the problem is that people are seeing. If anything the SP stamina slider could come up a few clicks so that average/below average stamina pitchers wouldn't be bottoming out on energy by the 6th-7th inning.

Well, prior to 1.05 I was rarely seeing CPU pitchers make it to 80 pitches, regardless of their stamina rating. They'd be at 65-70 pitches in the 5th (if they made it that far) of a 1-1 game, and there would be action in the bullpen, and the hook if a runner got on base. I get that there are reasonable situations where a pitcher wouldn't make it past 80-85 pitches, but those early hooks were happening a ton for me.

(Assuming we're talking about QC here, because that's where the issue was)

No, that particular post was about full games. I haven't heard much complaining about QC since 1.05, as you said.

I'd rather have a Watkins Glen gray metallic Vette which runs like a Vette than a black Vette with a Hugo engine.
