Nothing about Diamond Dynasty Extra Innings games finally working properly?

They way they are tuned causes a significant disparity between pitcher's abilities versus offensive players down the line. The result is a dramatic drop in offensive production baseball-wide, and crazy good numbers for pitchers..

All I can say is I just played a game and had 3 separate instances where there was a runner at 3rd with nobody out and the CPU DID NOT SQUEEZE

In addition to that, there's a weird progression bug where slow first baseman and catchers develop 99 basestealing ratings.

Miguel Cabrera was like 3rd in the AL in steals in my RTTS last season lol. And that would be bad enough even by itself, but then you factor in that it was 2020 so not only is Miggy suddenly turning into a legit basestealing threat, but it's at age 37.

Yeah, this is an important add on to what I was saying. I actually had this happen to me with David Ortiz in one of my franchise modes. He ended up with the 99 bug and had like 50 steals.

We never gave any indication this was being tuned. In addition it's not part of the code base we are comfortable messing with in a patch setting.

Will it undo all the wonky progression it already caused, or am I stuck with Panda Sandoval, Miguel Cabrera, Dioner Navarro, Francisco Cervelli, and Chris Davis stealing 30-40 bases a year until my player retires?

EDIT: I already know the answer is that I'm stuck with it, but this is a good example of why a lot of us wish we could edit players in RTTS mode. Just to police and correct things like this. Sure some people will abuse it, but it's a single player game mode, the leaderboards are already pointless, so what's the harm?

I did NOT see anything in the Patch Information regarding missed tags on baserunners, which should be automatic outs by several feet or seconds !!!

# 31 bcruise @ 05/13/15 04:39 PM

Just saw a completely missed bunt on a pitcher sacrifice attempt, with the pitch being a corner strike. Never saw that pre-1.03.

Please don't reduce it any more, bunts are still going to be successful if the pitches are strikes, but the corners will generate a lot more fouls and misses. At this point I'd say people need to change their strategy a little if they still see too many successful bunts. I'm afraid it will be taken out of the game almost completely if the success rate is lowered any more.

Never had a problem before the patch. I never had a squeeze play and I got bunters out frequently on low sinkers or popping up on high heat. The few successful bunts felt well earned. This is all just my experience and my opinion of course. Personally I feel a lot of issues could be corrected with gameplay, at least offline. I have never and probably will never play online with this game.

Please put this at the top of this list for '16 franchise mode.

Thanks!

I am a bit disappointed that the CPU base runner not taking an extra step was not addressed. It mentioned it in patch notes from the previous one but for some reason it still didn't work. I was hoping that it would of been fixed with this patch.

Are you playing online? I play 95% of my games offline, and I've never seen this happen. Not while I was fielding, and I've never had a chance to go 2 bases while batting.

So the starter stamina issue in the Playoffs in franchise mode wasn't fixed?

Not a bug..............

Gonna have to disagree. If you play the playoffs game you can go 7+ days without the pitcher getting their stamina back. October 10th, Game 1 of the ALDS i used Yordano Ventura. His stamina wasnt all the way full by October 18th when i used him for Game 1 of the ALCS. If its not a bug and thats how its intended to be then it should be changed for sure.

Concerning the scoring from second on a sac fly...

Note, the throws were pre loaded, no slider adjustments.
