• Miller Park - Milwaukee Brewers Franchise/Season: During a game at Miller Park, player info stat normally displayed on the Jumbtron during their initial at-bat could appear incorrect or not noteworthy.

• Manager mode quick counts - Too many strikes were being thrown.
• Fixed issues with pitchers that pitch from the stretch with no runners on base.
• Fixed issue causing ball-boy to use a full run instead of a jog when running to dead ball catches.
• Fixed an issue causing a runner on 3rd to try to go home on a bunt when the catcher was fielding the ball right next to the line and could easily tag him out.
• Added head tilt constraint to improve the head angle when a pitcher looks back at a runner on 2nd base.
• Average runners have better steal success than before. This is a small change, but there are a lot of close plays getting them tagged out. The effect is pronounced when playing against certain pitchers, and for these pitchers the runners were being capped from getting their best jump (compared to last year).
• In Manage Only Mode, opposing teams would never sac bunt.
• Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox): Night and Day capacity numbers were switched.
• Season/Franchise: When toggling through teams on Free Agents list, the background color does not change to match selected team's colors.

I find it strange they include a change with a ball boy however the ps3 version has no ball boy...

DL it now. Will play this evening.

A coupe of things I do not see on the patch notes that SCEA SD said would be patched…..so I hope it was.

1. HR Camera - 75% will be pull back cam from 13 and 25% behind the batter

2. "Out of Play" being patched only to flash on overthrow on pick off etc…not every single solitary foul ball.


Please tell me those two things were patched as promised…….I will check in here today to see if anyone plays and notices.

Otherwise…….happy to see a patch so quickly. Look forward to seeing how QC's were balanced…….more testing this weekend!

Someone said auto base running was now like last year and that fix wasn't listed either so I think they may have just not written some things. I love patches it's like Christmas day opening a new present!

"Out of Play" text confirmed!

No more on foul balls.

THANK YOU!!!!

After installing the patch when I go to play an exhibition game in an NL park the lineups include the DH...Anyone else see this?

Edit: After going completely out of the show and restarting the regular line-ups are back

[DukesofHazzard]

I assume it's like all the other MLB the show games where we don't have to restart a current franchise for these to take effect? Confirmation?
