The stat that shows the pitch/speed/break.... just showed a sinker with a 755 in break. Now thats movement LOL

Also had a fastball show the same thing. Now I may be crazy but I dont think a fastball breaks that hard LOL

Spend a few hours with those and then pop in MLB 17 the show. It's amazing that you even get continuous updates....and the least of my concerns is the color of the grass, socks, etc.
Awesome links! I'm 43 been there done that. Lol

Which one was it that had Vin Scully doing play by play and you could never get the "and throws to first...." out of your head. MLB 98 or 99?

I personally am happy with the patch as it appears to have fixed the homerun issue well.

I moved from Legend hitting back down to HOF and getting/giving up realistic homerun totals, seeing a wider variety of hits and am enjoying the game more.

The weak bat sound is annoying but I'll live with it. Not the end of the world.

Starting pitcher fix tbd. I think more tweaking is likely needed by devs.

Maybe that's the answer for the individual, I'm sure it won't hurt them at first but if enough people take this position of not buying sports games on the yearly basis maybe something would change.

Are the home run distances better as well?

Small sample but haven't seen anything like before. Power seems to be nerfed a fair amount

I'm using default sliders as well

Sorry about not combing through the entire thread, but...

Bunting still the same? No fixes to the turbo/steroid bunt?

Default sliders is the problem, there are for tweaking, use a slider set from the forums as a base and adjust for your liking.

You shouldn't have to mess about with sliders for the game to work properly though

Well I had all intentions of reading through this thread, but I don't really want to I sift through 6 pages of people whining about how a slightly different wall color has made their entire life meaningless.

Can someone just tell me if home runs are actually fixed or not? any testimonials?

Thanks

For HR, adjusting the sliders for power do the job for me and other folks, for WP and pitcher getting pulled too soon on QC a patch is needed.

Here's my issue: I am seeing absolutely zero injuries in franchise mode, and I cannot find where I might have switched injuries off. The only injury toggle I can find is manual/auto for roster management regarding injured players. I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious, but I can't find it. Thanks for any help.
If you are playing 30 team control, there is a fix in there that works. I had the same issue. Had to do with creating the CPU teams' profile from beginner settings.

Welcome to OS!

Why isn't the catcher blocking ability listed as an offline and online fix? Did they just not change it offline?

I had the same thing but it started for me last night before the patch which was weird then today it continued with that same "755" listed as the break for pitches that showed it.

I don't think the actual ability of the catcher to block the ball is the issue, Carlos Ruiz does a pretty solid job of keeping the ball in front of him and not letting it squirt away. The problem is two fold, the runners are programed to see it as an opportunity to take the extra base far too often when the ball isn't actually getting away from the catcher and the catcher acts as if the runners aren't running taking his sweet time to pick the ball up. If there was a way to tweak the AI logic to only take off when the ball actually gets away from the catcher, whether it be to the backstop or off to the side, it would probably solve it all but no idea how easy that is to patch after the fact.
