They've played great the last couple years and of course in hindsight you can say things. But I like him, the Reds like him.
Only complaint I've had is he is too loyal to old players. Had Griffey batting third with his .220 batting average. Had Rolen starting and batting 4th or 5th when Rolen hasn't been good since summer 2010. But other than that I love him.
I see we don't have a Bugs/Glitches thread, so I'll just post it here, alongside a cool thing that came with it.
First I'll start off with the cool thing: I foul-tipped a ball into the catcher's glove on a check swing. The catcher caught it.
Now the bug: I had two strikes on me. That should have been strike three. At the very least, the game maybe should have programmed the fact that the bat hit the ball and the catcher caught it, making it an FF2. Neither in this case.
Actually now that I'm on this topic, I might have spotted another bug in my game earlier as well...
I tried to send my runner on first, first by tapping L2 then by holding it and letting go when the pitcher released the ball. The pitcher threw a pitch-out, and my runner never took off. Unless pressing L2 twice is now a way to cancel a steal, my runner didn't go. So I'll test it again later today, but I wonder if for some reason the game has a bug where trying to steal on a pitchout won't send your runner (in which case is probably to my benefit, but I wonder if this will always happen). I'll test again later.

He was an all star player and played the game for a long time.
A 3 time manager of the year with a record over 500. I'll be shocked if they aren't in the world series this year.

I guess since I'm used to seeing a "Bugs/Glitches" thread, using the find feature and typing "bugs" wasn't going to help find the new bug thread.

Spoiler
Still can't get Pulse Pitching down on HOF. Much more difficult and intense.

My only two problems thus far with the game:
1. Pitch Stuttering issue: I've had it happen about four times in two games thus far. It's something that needs to be fixed because it's really the only bad mark for an otherwise terriffic game.
2.Baserunning: I've had trouble baserunning in my two games. I use classic baserunning and it's not as responsive as previous year's. There were at least a couple times where I told the runners to advance and then proceeded to not advance, costing me a run.
Now the to the Good:
-The bat feels like it has weight to it this year. When you make contact with the sweet part of the bat, you definitely feel it this year. Anyone who has played baseball knows when they have ripped a pitch from just the feeling off the bat, and this is the first time it's ever been implemented into a videogame.
-Pitch Speed- Possibly the biggest change has been an adjustment in pitch speed and the timing window which has really opened up hitting on the default difficulties. This is much needed as last year the default pitch speeds were very fast, and for anyone who claims this makes the game easier, you can always adjust the sliders and tailor pitch speed to your fast twitch reflexes.
-The booth is better than ever. Lyons is an upgrade over campbell. Never really thought the booth was bad, to me the Show is so immersive I don't pay much attention to commentary anyway. The new scorebug is really cool, probably one of the first games expcept for madden that actually has a semi-realistic scorebug.
-The new fielding meter is very cool and takes a while to get used to.
Overall, the game is great but the stuttering issues should be fixed and I expect it will be fixed given SCEA's track record servicing their games in the past.

Ugh...
Played my 2nd Postseason to try and get redemption for losing in the Wild Card game last time... Deja Vu, believe it or not...
This time facing the As, Im winning with 2 outs in the 9th, then Hanrahan gives up a 2-run shot to ex-Red Sox Brandon Moss to tie it...
Then in extra innings another ex-Red Sox Jed Lowrie hits a 3-run homer to win it... I am distraught right now... I think its time to try another team, maybe an NL team...
Overall it was a fantastic game except for losing yet again in the Wild Card game...
Hopefully third times a charm!

Just ran an off season with me in control of the Yankees and the other 29 teams set to auto for everything. I only had limited chances to do this at CD and let me tell you it is a thing of beauty. So much harder now to stay within your means.
You have to really plot your offseason out. I thought budgets might have been a tad, high considering the lower contracts, boy was I wrong.
Just before we left they add a pending contracts notification that tells how much you have out in offers. If you have more money out than your budget, which is on the left(It pulls the offers) Even if it looks like you have the money the cpu budgets some money to fill your roster. You really need to be creative and look for those "cheap' declining vets to fill your squad.
In the offseason, I had, I offered Granderson a low ball contract and qualified him with the hopes he would walk, HE ACCEPTED!!!! stuck with 8 million deal, with that and Cano's 22million I was essential broke. I had to swing a deal to unload Grandy to have money for a closer and fill my roster.
Another cool thing is players ask for different amounts based on the team. Beltran only asked for 800K from me, then turned around and signed with Boston for 2/22. Grandy wanted 8 million from me and when I went to the Twins he was asking for 6.
Only negative is that while in 30 team I would step in and offer a deal and the cpu would sometimes pull it, because I assume it didn't fit their strategy.

I'm going to post my cons of this game because everyone has already posted the pros.
Stuttering- it completely throws off your timing. I've seen it at least once in the 5 or so games I've played so far. I can deal with stutter on cut scenes and stuff like that, but it's a game killer when it affects the actual gameplay.
Fielding- This is mostly about infielders. I'm seeing way too many mistakes on routine ground balls. Guys going to pick up the ball and just missing it. I understand it happens in baseball, but nowhere near as much as it does in this game.
AI decision making- Every game there seems to be some ridiculous steal attempt, or some other head scratching decision. I just played a game against the Yankees where Kevin Youkilis attempted to steal twice. It was completely unrealistic IMO.
Overall I'm enjoying the game. It's frustrating at times, but that's the way baseball is. I think I'll enjoy it more as I get better at the game. Right now I'm swinging at way too many bad pitches.

Beginner mode and Digital faces are great additions to this year's game. It was real satisfying to knock David Price out of the game, and even more satisfying to get Kershaw 12 Ks in 7 innings of work.
Also, since beginner mode is adaptive, it can only get better!
Overall, I am very happy with the game, and I consider this year the best one ever!

This is diff lol. After 3 or so games of destroying CPU, this game is completely diff.
Dodgers: 2 runs,9 hits
Giants(me): 1 run, 10 hits
Dodgers struck out 7 times
Giants struck out 4 times
Giants with 1 HR
84% of my pitches were strikes
79% of CPU pitches were strikes

In 4 games played so far, my averages:
Me:8.25 runs,16 hits
CPU:3.5 runs,9 hits
My past game though I only scored 1, but other 3 I got 7+. I'm 3-1 in that span.
What do people think I need to adjust in this? My hit-run ratio seems ok(cpu seems ok too), so maybe I just decrease amount of hits I get? Meaning either solid hits or contact I decrease?
