YES!!!! I re-played 14 to verify and that is indeed the case. In situations where the frame-rate drops, 14 fares much better than 15 for some reason (poor optimization maybe?), especially after hitting the ball or throwing from 3B/SS to 1B. It seems like we're in the minority though, as are those who want a true broadcast experience. The frame rate doesn't really seem to bother a lot of people based on the lack of complaints. I also don't get the removal of the little broadcast elements all in the name of a faster game. Don't want to see it? Skip it or fast play. It's similar to playing a song, don't like a particular verse, press fast forward.

Not showing foul balls going into the stands more often like it used to, interrupting the throw back to the pitcher from the catcher, etc...seems to take a bit of the essence of baseball away. my biggest fear is that eventually too much baseball will get removed from the game in favor of finishing the game faster...that's why you added fast play, in game saves, usage of x button...it's not like you're forcing everyone to watch everything like some FPS, other genres. love the game, love the SCEA team's accomplishments. just my 2 cents.

Points #3 and #4 were added in MLB 14. Points #5, #7, #8 and #9 have been in the game even longer. But I did not start this post because of those. I just wanted to mention that as a MoM player I have access to the "Dugout" camera view and I believe this is the only camera view in the entire game where the camera does not switch to some another camera the moment the batter hits the ball. In all other gaming modes the camera switches to another camera view the moment the ball is hit, but for the "Dugout" camera, the view stays on this camera for the entire duration of the play. So I get to see all the foul balls and I can tell you that even though nobody else gets to see it, the fans are definitely making an attempt to catch these foul balls in the stands in this years game. It's just too bad most of you are missing this, but trust me it is happening. LOL

Oh yes, my game of choice in '83/84 in the dorms in college.. Once had a 70 inning game because the only way to score was a HR through the infield, because there were no fly balls yet! Took 3 days to finish and we had to leave the console on and play every free second we had between classes, baseball practice, sleep and eat. And pray for no powers outages!
Later in '84, got the Commodore 64 and the original Hardball game. In late '87, got the Amiga and Earl Weaver Baseball. A huge jump for baseball gaming! Couldn't keep the guys out of my hotel room in Spring Training '88.

There's actually a fairly lengthy thread about it somewhere around here, some people definitely notice.

# 166 Jaystar8083 @ 04/23/15 05:17 PM

I knew it man! I hate it! I went back to playing MLB 14 for that reason alone

# 167 Jaystar8083 @ 04/23/15 05:18 PM

OK cool. I thought it was just me.

# 168 Jaystar8083 @ 04/23/15 05:19 PM

Maybe the patch made it more smooth

It is resolved! as of yesterday all the rooftops had dropped their lawsuits!

# 170 RogueHominid @ 04/23/15 05:23 PM

Seriously, 25 pages in and no answer to the most obvious question: do we have to re-start our franchises to get the full benefit of the patch?

I don't care if that's the case, but someone ought to answer that question definitively.

I won't post on this again, but lots of people have asked. It's an important point.

# 171 creator2700 @ 04/23/15 05:28 PM

Looks like extra innings games in DD still don't ever process... That's disappointing.

# 172 mattynokes @ 04/23/15 05:41 PM

Very cool. Now if they can add the pure analog hitting of years past, that would be epic!

No it's incorporated

I've been enjoying the game for what it is but I'm certainly glad we have a patch already. Thanks, SCEA of S.D.

# 175 redsox4life @ 04/23/15 05:49 PM

Does anyone else think the catcher reacts way too quick on choppers off of the plate? I've never seen a catcher get to a ball and tag out the runner before he even gets a third of the way down the baseline in real life. Just insane reaction time there!

It's baaaaaack....

That Dominguez Little League HR was hilariously bad btw - I don't know if I could have stopped it even by throwing home correctly. Would have been a close play at best.

Thanks so much for getting this back into the frontend guys.

Cutch still has long hair on my ps3.....haircut on ps4 only?

# 179 bigtrip88 @ 04/23/15 06:32 PM

it still wont let me do a fantasy draft with a custom roster...every time when im done picking my settings and i press x to star my fantasy draft it exits me out of the game and takes me to a error message and asks me if i want to report the problem...someone pls help i spent the first 10 days after release editing my rosters for my franchise and now i cant even use them the way i wanted to in a fantasy draft...and it only does it when i choose to do a fantasy draft

# 180 bakersville123 @ 04/23/15 06:35 PM

I'm curious to see if they corrected sim stats when simming multiple years into the future. I'll have to run some test franchises tonight. I just opened Bug ID 13645 today so obviously no action from SCEA based on that yet

)

The batting average and league hit totals drop off a cliff when simming 8+ years into franchise. Appears to be an issue with generated rookie pitchers having insanely high potentials, leading to extremely high H/9 ratings down the road.
