I'm sure this is old news to many, but in messing around with CAPs I realized that they made pitch speed relative this year. At first I thought something was wrong as the max FB speed was 93. Then I realized it varied based on offspeed stuff. It's actually a really useful addition (for long term franchise play, in particular) because previously many of the generated players would end up with ridiculous differences in pitch speeds.

I was wondering if its just the Orioles? Maybe they don't believe in alignment changing?
But, I still would expect them to at least change depth based on power, no?
Could a mod move this discussion to a new separate thread so it doesn't clutter the impressions thread?

Where are the Cleveland Indians helmets with the red "C", that they've been using during the past two years on the road?
And why are the white/black home batting helmets of the Baltimore Orioles still not in the game? They got the same design as their caps.
Apart from that, the game rocks as always!

Franchise budget is abit confusing.
1 year I finish with win totals in the 80s and don't make playoffs
Next year I finish with win total in the 100s and win the world series.
BOTH times, my budget increased by 10%. I thought budget increase depended on success of a team?

UPDATE
Decided to use a different team so I used the Rays hosting the Tigers. I just set Prince as leadoff man so I could see right away.
And, just like the pic by slab and the other poster who used the Giants, the Rays defense was appropriate with an extreme shift, both infield and outfield
Do any Oriole fans (or dev) know if Buck is just a manager who doesn't shift for anyone? If thats the case and they built it into the game, that would be amazing.
Now, I'd like to see if the cpu will adjust depth based on hitter power. So far, the answer is NO, they don't.
Keeping the Rays as the cpu team, I took the Nationals into Shibe Park. I use Shibe Park because of the grids in the outfield. Its very easy to count the lines to determine if the outfielder adjusts how shallow or deep they position.
The outfielders kept the exact same depth for Span (no power at all) as they did for Harper and Zimmerman and LaRoche, and the whole lineup for that matter.
On a side note: I love the ratings system so far. Despite the fact that Laroche won the Silver Slugger Award at 1st base last year and had 33 bombs, he wasn't overrated for power. He's 74 against righties and 73 against lefties. Great job SCEA

I agree, I'm not sure why it is like that. It was a little different at CD. Not all teams went up the same amount and there were more teams that dropped. They are aware of it.

They will also play deep for Saltalamachia, shade to the left for Middlebrooks, and creep in on the grass when Ciriaco is at the plate if the mood is right for a bunt.
Make sure you have the Defensive Positioning set at Auto if you want help, and remember, at the very first at bat, you can set up your own team for the entire lineup as far as how you want to play them. Late in the game, you can override those decisions for an at bat, as needed. (guys on base, playing in to protect against a run etc...)
I have noticed no issue at all with the CPU playing as they "should" and have actually remarked a few times that I had been robbed, based on some pretty fine coaching by the other team with regards to where they had my guys played.

**edit** By the way, I played Baltimore in a Spring Training Exhibition game, and they definitely put the shift on against Ortiz.
Yes, CPU plays shift but I haven't seen it for me using auto fielding.
Lance Lynn took a perfect game 8 1/3 innings for me last night in the NLCS Game 6 Cardinals vs Giants. Giants leading series 3-2. San Francisco bunted for a base hit!!! May the baseball gods have mercy on your souls!
In their defense, I was only leading 2-0 and the pinch hitter followed with a single, putting the tying run on base. Luckily, Motte came in and slammed the door.
I am LOVING this game.
All-Star difficulty, Zone hitting, Pulse pitching, all sliders at default.

Got a question for Samsung LED gamers. What picture mode gives the best picture for The Show? Can't decide between dynamic and natural. Sometimes dynamic looks too bright, and sometimes natural looks too dark. Help please.
Lovin' the game. Really would love to see Tiger Stadium added to the throw back stadiums. Something about HR derby at The Corner.
Best baseball game I have EVER played period. Just needs a few fixes. Having a blast this year. Found MLB 12 to be boring overall and quit after maybe playing 20 games. Love the new throw meter. Makes fielding more interactive and keeps me on my toes in the field. Used to be just going thru the motions on the other previous Shows.
