What is going on? Please dont ban me for voicing my frustrations.

And I fell for the trap. Hook, line and sinker. I knew there was a reason why that question was posed, even said so in my original post but edited it out as I thought maybe he was legitimately asking even though he got the answer in the thread I linked. But I fell for it. Answered his question so he could spew his agenda.

Sorry fellas. Should've known better.

Just curious as I don't check up on every users post... But what is his agenda or end game? Other than to voice his opinion and his displeasure?

I'm not going to get into it here as it doesn't serve a purpose. But stick around long enough and you'll catch on.

Think you mean it should be 14, 10, 31 for the LF foul pole? That's what I've seen in pictures and that's what Wikipedia says.

I wrote a bug report for this a few days ago. Up vote it!

I've popped up bunts way more often in RTTS more than I did prepatch.

I've had tons of issues with dropped fly balls when playing RTTS. I had to start over because I accidentally saved my pitcher over my original position player. Decided to go as a center fielder instead of a shortstop or corner outfielder like I normally do. Never had this issue in all my years playing this game.

I know this isn't a big issue or effects gameplay but has anyone heard the W/L pitchers announced by the PA post game. I have played about 6 game's now since the patch has been out and have not heard the W/L pitchers yet.

Pre-patch the W pitcher would always be wrong but it was announced.

Yeah, I heard it in the game I played this morning. It was correct.

Just fouled out really wide out left field at wrigley..... The ball as it was just about to be caught in the stands flew to the left straight into the right fielders hand....

# 370 Lisac @ 04/27/15 10:41 AM

3 things that still need to be addressed!

Way to many errors, and Fruit Loop throws from the OF
Speaking of OF just played a game and twice running with OF to ball and ran into a force field trying to get to the fielding circle only to have my OF lunge and miss the ball.
Finally, was tied game bottom 9th and winning run on 2nd and moved my OF in and guy hit one over my head to the wall and run from 2nd scored but it gave hitter a 2 run HR!

To those asking about wind, you can adjust sliders for that, I always up mine on my Astros Franchise.

If the game is so bug infested as you make it out to be. Then yes it is broken. It's funny how I haven't seen a single one of those issues you just mentioned though. The only glitch I had was striking out on strike 2. And that only happened once.

That cost me a run in the 8th inning of a game yesterday on a 2-out hit to my 2B, lost 2-1. I've seen this probably 3 times through 30 games.

Surprised this hasn't had more traction on the forums here:

Bug Report - http://theshownation.com/bug_reports/13683

Tbarnes19 has caught some pretty worrisome stuff post patch regarding trade logic/trade frequency/etc. I don't know about the rest of you, but unless this gets fixed, my enjoyment of Franchise mode in MLB 15 will have taken a major hit.

I'm hoping if they can't fix it, that there is at least a way to reinstate how things worked prior to the latest patch. Anyway, please upvote.

Neither of the links from OS are working for me.

Something I am now disappointed that wasn't addressed in this patch.. the starter stamina issue in the playoffs.

I played the WC game with my #1 starter, and it's now 6 days later (game 4 of the NLDS) and my guy only has about 85% stamina. I actually don't have a starter fully rested as I went to a 4 man rotation and had to use my typical 5th starter in relief.

Here's a bug report on it on The Show forums: http://theshownation.com/bug_reports/13537

This is pretty bad as it's a big strategic point for the playoffs, and stamina works fine in the regular season. Hopefully this can be addressed very soon.

Sorry about that. Here's one of his earlier posts:

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.

This was the line regarding what was tweaked with trades in the patch, right?

	General – Tuning to trade logic, specifically how the CPU traded with other CPU teams in Franchise and Season modes.

So trade block was fine before the patch and something happened in this tuning to mess it up?

Right. That seems to be the only line in the notes regarding them having addressed trading.

I haven't really tested this much myself, but it seems to me like a few new problems have been introduced. Teams seem to be only trading players from the trading block, and only actually making trades to fill roster spots due to injury; basically they are ignoring their team strategy.

Also, frequency is far too low. If we reference players that have instant trades set to off (this would be most of us), he had sims where he could count the total number of trades on two hands.

This number increases with instant trades turned on meaning that the CPU is also "rejecting" too many proposed trades on top of it.

Essentially, the entire thing seems broken now. Hopefully tbarnes19 will pop in here and go into further detail. He's much more eloquent and much more observant than me.
