Wow... Game sounds like it's got some bad bugs this year... even after this patch.

The game plays fabulously! I itch to get games in all the time.

Sure there are some bugs, but they will be addressed.

# 405 Mrmagoo @ 04/28/15 10:33 PM

Wasn't trying to be a downer, but some of them are rather surprising. The ppl hitting a homer with men on base n only 1 run counting, the bunting issues.
Btw I don't have the game, only going by what I've read. It sounds like I'd be pretty bummed out if I did have it tho.
Hopefully things do get addressed tho!!

I've played A LOT and I've only had the 2 strike strikeout glitch so far.... I know a lot of people have had issues with other bugs, but it's not universal

I'm in the same boat. I've only seen the 2 strike strikeout and only saw that 2 or 3 times (and none of those were post-patch). I'm over 60 games into my Franchise.

As an added bonus, getting past the draft fixed, somehow, all of the presentation issues I was seeing and has opened up alot of new dialogue, stats and overlays. I can't stop playing now, lol.

# 408 Mrmagoo @ 04/28/15 11:26 PM

Well that's good news. I guess by reading through this thread n others I hear about all the odd bugs or glitches ppl are having, one or should I say "I" kind of assumes(d) it's a mass problem.

# 409 mvp_status @ 04/29/15 01:39 AM

I have assisted baserunning on, and way too many times, my runner will slide back to his base on groundball hits......WITH 2 OUTS. You have no idea how frustrating it when I manage to grind out a hit after a long at-bat, only for the inning to end because the baserunning logic is jacked up

Try AUTO baserunning. You won't have that problem at all.

# 411 majestic24 @ 04/29/15 03:28 AM

Is anybody seeing CPU baserunners taking extra lead after the patch? I still don't see any at all. Am i missing something? Should I restart my franchise for it to take effect? I know it's only a general gameplay issue.

Things always sound worse on the forums then they really are lol. I can remember there being a lot of hate on sever NBA 2k games and on mlb the show games in the past that got scores of like 9/10 to the point where you would almost think the game should have been like a 1/10 kind of game lol.

There are varying leads. Some runners take bigger leads than others.

I've played 66 games in my franchise:

Ball warp at Wrigley: 1 time (in like 6/7 games there)
HR glitch: 1 time
Catcher/tag issue: 1 time
Two strike glitch: 0 times
Bunting issues: never noticed. I've had one squeeze against me and after the patch I've seen many missed bunt attempts

Other various issues: mainly some fielding "quirks" here and there with auto fielding. Sometimes guys will jog after a ball but it might be ratings related. Sometimes the throwing mechanic doesn't get rid of balls as quickly as I want. Animations on fielding bunts are still something that need to be cleaned up IMO.

The game is not perfect but it's arguable the best sports game I've played. If you expect perfection then prepare to be disappointed at one time or another.

I view this iteration of the game a huge step forward for the series but there are some areas that need to be cleaned up and other areas I want them to vastly improve which I posted in the three ideas thread.

If people aren't happy with this game I can't imagine they are happy with any other sports game.

Exactly.
Well said.
This is the best version of a tremendous series......but like all games there are areas that need attention. Some more than others.
Pickoffs and leads by base runners.....that's one that needs more work than others IMO right now. That "cat and mouse" game within a game just isn't there where it should be.
Some glitches....
But on a whole.....if you like baseball and say you don't even like this game or consider it terrible....than I don't think you'll ever be happy with a video baseball game.

I just want to say that the patch did in fact fix the Pickoff attempts on MOM. I play exclusively on this mode and just the other day had a pitcher throw over to first on a pickoff play, so it does happen. The game has a few quirks, but all in all SCEA and Ramone are doing a heck of a job responding to our requests and striving to ensure this is the best sports game on the market

# 418 rossaroni @ 04/29/15 11:53 AM

I believe this is fixed but I did have a game where one run scored and he batter was credited with an rbi but not a hit

I only ever played with auto baserunning like forever and its normally perfect for me but this year on that two outs man on second logic is horrible and has cost me so many runs as he will stop at third whether he be fast or slow

Auto-baserunning has definitely changed. Last year. If you had, say, a runner going to first/second after a hit and another one trying to reach home, if the outfielder threw home to try and make a play, the runner wouldn't advance. This year, the runner does take the extra base in the same scenario. However, I've seen runners be too aggressive this year, especially on triples. For example, ignoring the stop sign at third only to be easily thrown out at home.
