Throw urgency ?
Base-running tag-outs ?
Foul balls transported to fielder's glove in Wrigley Field ? (not only Cellular Field)

These 3 issues were NOT mentioned nor addressed in 1.03 Patch !

I assume we don't have to restart for it to take effect in an ongoing franchise?

Sorry I see absolutely no issue with this. Your Center fielder didn't throw at full strength pre loaded or not it was a weak throw because that is what you pre loaded. Just my impression of the video and of course only my opinion.

Just to show that this CAN happen (it's happened to me pre-patch as well):

The CPU takes the game situation into account on plays like this. It's a close game late, and instead of taking the sure out it goes for the twin killing. Earlier in the game it throws to first here most of the time.

I've actually seen this a couple of times in my offline franchise, both for and against me. It normally happens on a warning track ball where the outfielder hits the wall.

I use Auto for both Fielding and Throwing BTW

Although I agree with you that this was most likely due to initial weak throw in this instance, I think there is room for improvement on the urgency of some of the outfield throw animations coming from jogging/running catches.

I have also seen some video examples of this type of play that were not as deep with full strength throws. They were more a result of the "brace against the wall" animation sequences. This is definitely an area for improvement.

Do you think the changes to baserunning and the speed of runners this year could be part of the reason we are seeing things like this example?

I've been seeing similar plays happening online where the animations simply cannot keep up with the baserunners and people are taking advantage of it by sending runners in situations like the above video. Very frustrating.

You do not have to restart your franchise for the patch to take effect

You forgot to mention that Marte was the baserunner and he absolutely flies.

# 50 Spokker @ 05/13/15 07:47 PM

Has anyone else seen a white flash on players after plays and exiting the bullpen? It's like someone is taking flash pictures. Has it been fixed?

My bug report about it was deleted.

# 51 HozAndMoose @ 05/13/15 07:59 PM

I dont see how the Energy is supposed to be like this.

# 52 sydrogerdavid @ 05/13/15 08:15 PM

I know this was never a problem before and I'm not trying to defend the game, but maybe it's because it's really really late into the season.

Was there ever a problem near the end of the regular season and everybody was still on 5 days rest?

I hate to be "this guy", but just because something wasn't addressed doesn't mean they aren't looking into it.

I mean, come on guys. Be realistic here. They fixed 23 separate things in this one patch. I know you each want "your bug/problem" fixed but they can only fix so much or else you'll be waiting 4 months for each patch.

I didnt notice it but i also wasnt looking for it. If you sim the playoff games though the stamina comes back at the same rate it usually does.

I don't have any inside information and I haven't talked to anybody in the know. That said I would not count on a third patch. The development cycle for The Show 16 has started in full swing now. I would be VERY pleasantly surprised if they took anybody away from this to work on another patch.

I think there could be one more. The last one for 14 was in June wasnt it? It did come out a month later though.

Last patch for '14 was 1.12 on October 28, 2014. By that time it was probably just online crash/hang stuff, though.

Regardless, they still supported it for a pretty long time post-release.

I hate to be "this guy", but there is nothing wrong with a consumer wanting a bug free product. Especially when it comes to software where bugs/crashes/etc don't manifest until time is spent with the product only after purchase. Complaints of this nature should be reiterated frankly. If it is a bug that you want fixing, speak up.

# 59 Madden's Jowels @ 05/13/15 08:56 PM

Ramone, I didn't see this listed so I'm assuming it didn't make it in the patch, but are you guys going to address the fact that CPU teams in Franchise/RTTS carry ridiculous amounts of pitchers on the 25 man roster?

The Mets are carrying 15 pitchers right now in my RTTS. They don't even have a 4th outfielder on the big club, or an extra middle infielder. They've got an extra 1B and catcher and that's it, every other position goes 1 deep.

I haven't gotten particularly deep into franchise yet but I've heard other people mention this problem with their franchises as well.

I hope if nothing else is done for '16, please fix player progression and simmed stats over a long period of years in franchise mode. We've put up with these issues for quite some time and they can be a deal breaker for folks who want to play long term franchises.
