And not just one game...now I'm in exibition game testing with human and cpu contact at 7 to see if I can get some offense generated. Not going back to my franchise until another patch most likely

It's just one game, but I hit 5 home runs in my first post patch game. That's more that I hit in any single game (49gms) pre patch. Again I'm not taking any stock in it since it was a day game at yankee stadium. I'm hoping I don't start to see what you guys see.

Mine is a carryover save btw, and those seemed to not be plagued by some of the bugs, like home run frequency and distance.

Well to be fair it's obviously an issue since they've admitted to it and said it would be addressed in the next patch.

That was a carryover franchise. And before the patch it was bugged.

With that being said on that same carryover file I am still getting the bugged divisional standings audio and visual OSD.

I am the Cardinals (fantasy draft file from 16) and Matty V references The N.L West and then the OSD shows N.L East with A.L league east teams.

I just wanted to say I haven't bought a baseball game in years and I've played 65 games in my franchise since I got the game and I don't want to stop playing. While I can't give opinion on the online play, for what I do just playing a franchise mode, I couldn't be happier.

Yes it is a bug and yes they have admitted to it. But this is not the issue. It bothers some and it doesn't bother others. Both sides should be allowed to express their opinions on the matter. That is all I am saying.

I have started playing again since the patch. It doesn't bother me, so therefore it is not an issue to me. My thoughts on the matter are just as valid and I am not saying that those who have the problem are wrong. Big difference.

Got to say, the game post patch feels horrible. Don't know if it's just the painful bat sounds or if they have done something to the way the ball comes off the bat, but it just feels really unsatisfying now. Hope they fix this pretty quickly

I'm going to try to restart a franchise and see if I still have the issue. They were mixed in every game I played last night.

I don't even notice a difference in bat sounds. Is it possible it's different on the Pro?

Have you tried to play with default sliders ? In my two games post patch ( really small sample size, i know ) i get a total of 24-25 hits on my side in two games with Phillies and Braves ( 3 HR's ). And the second one was vs Syndergaard. HOF hitting/pitching and default sliders.

Checking out different things from the patch. Noticed it is supposed to fix being able to customize the universal profile nameplate now.

I'm at level 55 but it still wont let me change from a bronze nameplate to a silver one.

Anybody else seeing this issue still? I know it's a minor thing but just curious if I'm the only one having the problem

Painful is right.....the terrible bat sounds are magnified if you use headphones or a surround sound system.

If you're at level 55 bronze then you shouldn't be able to have a silver one. You need to be level 100 bronze to become level one silver?

No, not if it's the issue that I described. Here is the fix:

It appears to be a profile issue. I guess the CPU profile that I had initially created was based off of beginner settings and not experienced.

What you need to do is go back into the main menu and create a new profile based off of the experienced template. Rename that CPU Experienced, or whatever you'd like (just something to differentiate it from the original CPU one). From there, you just go back into your franchise and tab over to settings and you can go into the profiles and change all the teams that aren't yours to this new profile you've created.

Right away you should notice a difference in CPU injuries around the leagues. I was glad that this is all that it was and that I didn't need to restart my franchise.

I noticed last night that the franchise ticker at the bottom reads "StolenBasesRBI". I know the patch tweaked the "Franchise in-game ticker stat tracking" so I'm not sure if this was an issue created by the update or just inadvertently left off the honeydew list. Not a huge deal, just something I noticed.
 
# 295 countryboy @ 04/26/17 08:17 AM
Played 2 games last night. I played two carryover franchise games that I had just completed on '16 so that the settings and rosters were the same. The only differences being what was added to '17.

And while I still believe that '17 is a very good game, it's just not the game for me. I don't know how else to explain it other than '16 still provides me with a better experience. Something about '17 just seems "off", and I really wish I could explain further but I really am not sure how.

I really want to like '17 and will continue to try it out here and there, especially after patches, to see how it plays, but for now, I think I'm just going to roll with '16.

'17 is a very good game, its just not the game for me.

Going back and looking at his post, I can't see how he was steamrolling others with a different opinion than his.

Yeah, the bat on the ball sound may not matter to some, and that's totally fine, but all I saw from his post was an explanation as to why it's an error, and when he noticed it.

It seemed like you felt personally attacked by his post because you don't have an issue with the bat sounds. I digress, though. I just don't see an issue with his original post.

Thanks Kehlis. That was really my point and I appreciate you understanding that.

I was not disregarding anyones opinion. I was responding to the Chicken little sentiment that this was not a chicken little pile on agenda. It was a real bug acknowledged by the development team.

Anyway moving on. The game is awesome and hopefully we get it fixed to everyones satisfaction ASAP.

There are still some other little visual and commentary bugs as I pointed out in my last post so SDS is not done in the least updating the game this year.

More work to do.

That could be the case, are the guys that aren't bothered or noticing the different bat sound playing on the ps4 pro?

Brother....I am moving on from it. Let’s just leave it all alone from this point onward.

Same here. Nothing sounds different to me. Maybe my hearing isn't that good
