I love that we've come so far in gaming that we are debating "hat sweat".
And to think when I played Atari Realsports Football I never thought it would come to this!
btw - not denigrating anyone about the "hat sweat" comments, just take my observation at face value!

Also, I'll give the manager hook slider a look. I'm trying to not get stuck in slider hell this year, and besides a few simple tweaks (solid hits, fielder arms, CPU strike frequency), I'm pretty content.

This is the first year I've used the "Broadcast Cam" while batting. I've noticed that the rocket shots are greatly reduced. I'm also finding gaps and getting hits over outfielders outstretched gloves. Default sliders. Outstanding work SCEA!

Wise hasn't been the only one so it's not a freakish occurrence. Hey, it could have been a bloop or whatever hit, not a weak hitter belting home runs.
Sorry, but I don't agree with you guys.
Seems like there needs to be an adjustment for player base running speed, but that slider raises for both CPU and User. I think having separate sliders, CPU and User, would be a great addition to the game.
If about 60% of the pitches I swung at were early swing(and only about 20% were late swing) does this mean I should probably increase the pitch speed slider?
Most of those early swings came off of circle changeup(which was low 80mph).
I'm thinking bout increasing speed, but don't want to just incase fastball becomes too fast. Seems like the visual speed difference between 90mph fastball and 80mph change are too big in this game.

I remember last year there was a complaint about Trade Logic.
His Braves had traded away Chipper Jones for some never-has-been, no name R.A.Dickey.
Could never happen!

Love the game so far except for one thing....I HATE the new fielding for RTTS, especially in the OF. I've turned at least half a dozen fly balls that should have been caught into triples because I cant tell where I am on the field or how close I am to the ball...sometimes I even over run and it lands short. I have no perspective as an OFer at times.

A couple things. the stealing is an issue as mentioned. Mauer/Youkilis stealing on first pitch but I turned down the stealing frequency thing.
There seems to be a LOT of jaggies or whatever, the stadiums and players aren't as crisp or crisp at all. I don't think it's my TV, because I didn't have the issue with last years game.
Hitting was super easy on veteran so I turned to All Star. I played two realistic games on that level, but all the sudden had 9 runs in one inning and it felt totally unrealistic. I know that stuff happens in real life but it didn't feel very authentic.
A few small things bug me still, like how pitchers freeze in the same stance after every pitch while waiting for the catcher to return the ball.
The game is good but there's a lot more issues I see than usual. I like the menu's, and they really paid more attention to accesories this year which I like.

I had 4 things that I was hoping for improvement and all seem to be better or fixed.
The first issue I had with 12 was robo 2b and ss. It was near impossible getting anything by them in 12. They either leaped 16 feet in the air or ran down bloop hits near the outfielders. I have hit shots by both positions and good consistency between hits and plays made.
Secondly was human batters ability to really turn on inside pitches. You could live inside on most all batters in 12 but not now. I have had some nice ropes on pitches in the inner half down both lines. Head to head with my son, he has punished me on the inner half, where last year not so much.
Third was the depth of Right field. The appearance was way too short in 12 but appears to better positioned this year. It may be my old eyes but I like the depth this year and seems to play consistently like Left field has always.
Last was balls down the line. Last year was an issue in that the ball seemed to lose gas and wouldn't hit the corner. I have not had a lot of chances but have had a few reach the corner and react realistic.
One disappointment for me was the lack of AI and human sliders especially speed on the basepaths and outfield speed. Seems to be a good gap between ai and human speeds.
All in all, everything that I could ask. Game continues to progress in a good way and I really wonder how they can make progressions with this game. But they always do.

Most everything I've posted has been positive but I have a slight issue.
Does anyone else think the "sound" off the bat and "feel" is off, like weak?
On many of my HR's, it doesn't "feel" like I got it where last year I could "feel" it. That's hard to quantify, I know. But, the sound of a home run so far has been the same as any other hit.

The only for thing I get bothered by is, I played a game before and Matt V was the only one talking for like 3 innings, didn't here a peep from Karros or Lyons, wth.

i was chomping at the bit to get this game. then it was released. and then the issues with the game started showing up in the OS forums. i dunno. i think i am going to hold off making the purchase. i LOVE this franchise. still playing 10 and 12 religiously, but until a patch comes out, i think i will wait and see what happens. anyone else?

The fielding improvements alone (1 outfielder gets to a routine foul fly ball while another doesn't, based on ratings) make it worth the purchase.
The improved ability for the user to strike out a cpu hitter after setting them up correctly is worth the purchase alone.
And, no one has mentioned the disparity in scores. Last year it seemed like every Game was low scoring thru 6 and then all hell broke loose. This year, every game feels different.
Also, holding a lead IF u have a really good bull pen is realistic. No more cpu mounting rallies like clockwork after u score.
Of course, if ur pen is bad, they will beat up on them.
That's as real as it gets for me.
eventually i will break down and get it, no doubt. i am concerned with the issues and bugs but am confident that SCEA will have a patch. was curious if anyone else had become skeptical considering the stutter issues, etc that have been described.
I've tried several cameras(including one that was posted on here) and none seem to help me much in recognizing those curve/sliders(especially when they're low), it's getting frustrating having all these pitches seem like they're gonna be strikes, then suddenly dropping like 2 feet.
On plus side....Jays won!
Jays: 2 runs,5 hits
Yankees: 1 run,5 hits
CRAZY ending.Bottom of 9th,2 outs, runner on 2nd. Davis hits ball to Jeter at SS who has to run to OF grass to get the ball, he gets it, throws it to 1B and Davis is safe.....meanwhile, the runner I had a 2nd was running straight past 3B and went home for a walkoff win!
Still with so much early swings, even though I increased pitch speed slider. Looks like I have to increase it again.

I have been too busy actually playing to post my impressions. However, the game I just had made me realize why I need to make this post.
I made it to the playoffs in my Braves franchise. NLDS against the Nationals. First two games I overpower them in all facets. Game one I take 6-2, game two I take as well but by a closer margin at 8-6. Now onto game three.... I am in Washington and they get out ahead early. 2-0 after the first inning. I managed to keep them held to just two and eventually got it to 2-1. Then, all of a sudden, I give up a homer to LaRoche for 2.. 4-1 now. I go about 4 innings with barely even a hit. Eventually it comes to the top of the 8th, I get two guys on base but can't produce and have 2 outs and a full count with Heyward up to bat. So now I have a guy at 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs and a full count. Then I get a beautiful pitch and decide to swing for the fences.. peeled it down the right field line and it hits the foul pole for a 3 run shot, TIE GAME.
I end up winning it after getting a line drive homer to left with Simmons in the top of the 10th inning. Closed it out with Kimbrel striking out the entire side to end it. Amazing game. Couldn't be happier with this years edition.
