@russell_SCEA I still don't have a rank icon when I join a online game room lobby it's shows nothing at all

I know some people are going to like the updated trade tweaks. I think there has been improvements with superstars not being traded one for one, but what I am not liking is the trades are reduced in frequency. Pre patch;
test 1
April 10 trades, May 3 trades, June 6 Trades, July 10 trades (3 at deadline), aug-Sept 0
total trades:29

test 2
April 3 trades, May 3 trades, June 6 trades, July 9 trades (1 deadline), aug 1 trade, sept 0
Total trades:22

A 2017 sim had 25 trades.

I would routinely get 20-29 trades

Post patch most seasons have between 14 and 18 trades. MLB has numerous trades per year and I think an average of 25 was good. The 16-17 average that I am getting now is a little disappointing.

Also if you plan on not having instant trades on, I only see about 4-7 trades per year.

This is one sim I had. I'm also seeing players traded in the offseason as soon as they are signed.

Is it considered a glitch when instead of running all the way through 1st base on the final out of the inning, players instantly start jogging to the dugout? Often stopping on a dime to do it?

And when running bases it's the same. Before, players would slow down lik ethey do on the first two outs when the same happens.

Only time I thought managers didn't mind you heading to the dugouts instead of running all the way to first was if it was a hard lineout and you barely got out the box.

Either way, I figure that's something for patch 2.0, no?

WOW! Baseball has a problem. The REAL MLB wants games to finish faster, and now the VIRTUAL MLB wants that too. My goodness, is it really that bad? My message to MLB and SCEA... there is nothing WRONG with the game!! Nothing wrong with how the games play out. You start trying to take things out and speed things along, you will affect the game in a negative way. Baseball is a beautiful sport. It has a charm and persona that no other sport can claim.

Too bad that MLB and SCEA are bowing to the "What's next? - Gotta go" generation.
That is not where baseball comes from.

SCEA and Ramone you guys are simply AMAZING! To release an update with nearly all of the submitted bugs in 21 days is unreal! Listening to your customers and addressing their concerns with the product is second to none!

It's not a bug. It was added this year on purpose and while it may not be perfect, I think they did a pretty good job adding this as a new feature. I see plenty of guys hustling down to 1st when they need to. But when they are clearly going to be out, they slow down. Once again this was a new feature which was added this year. I would say if you have video where you think the base runner held up when they shouldn't, submit it as a bug report.

I for one love that the frequency is reduced. Regardless of mlb average it felt like there were way too many mlb level trades . I very much prefer fewer and absolutely love the changes in the patch !

Last year on July 31st alone how many trades do you think occurred that had ml level talent that were traded?

Just on July 31st......12 MLB trades occured. Many of them were big names too.http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/transactions/trades/2014

That is more than many of the sims I am doing now for a whole season. I had one sim with OSFM rosters where 8 trades occured.

Baseball is a game where teams are always trying to improve. I thought 25 trades was a fair balance. Last year alone there were over 70 trades in real baseball with many of them having ML talent moved.

In July alone last year there were 28 trades involving Major league players.

But in the show there was never logic to feature more cpu trades around the deadline no? It was even throughout the year which never felt realistic

Less is more imo, this is the best the trade logic has ever looked in this franchise..
We can agree to disagree on the frequency

# 217 countryboy @ 04/23/15 09:48 PM

I didn't know it would be possible for this game to play this much better, but I'll be darn if it isn't. And how cool is it to have the post game highlights back?

A terrific game made even better.

to SCEA

# 218 The Kid 24 @ 04/23/15 09:52 PM

Anything on the draft glitch?

# 219 Bat @ 04/23/15 09:56 PM

I am getting alot of fielding errors like someone else posted earlier. Maybin two drops, Arendo one through 5 innings.

and another Jace Peterson drop.

There was. At one point trade frequency was adjusted to be heavier during July and more importantly during the last week of the trade deadline.

We always had the ability to lessen trades if we wanted to, by turning trades on and off. Unfortunately there is no way to increase the frequency.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't want trades for the sake of trades. I want teams to make a push and try to make the playoffs and improve their teams.

Now what I do agree on is the trade logic is really good. Sometimes I see head scratchers, like Tanaka being traded 3 times in one season, in a sim I just did.

I like that Offseason trades are back in this year as well. That brings a lot of new life to the game. I just wish they would not sign players then immediately trade them.

I would also like to see a few more August trades. I liked the way they were in previous years.
