So far after playing about 15 or so RTTS show games I am enjoying hitting much more post patch. I was making good contact but the distance in hits was better. I was getting less blasts off the wall for doubles to the opposite field. I was sold after breaking an 0 for 9 slump by smashing a 2-1 curveball 486 feet. I had been struggling to get in good counts, was looking for the curve and lined it up perfect with a power swing. Most rewarding feeling in sports IMO.

Great post Cleve.

There is a fine line between constructing a post, expressing your wants and desires, and letting folks in the community know what is on your mind... and blatantly trolling, taking pot shots, and basically being a miserable chud.

We all have different opinions, and you are right, there are things important to one guy, that another might shrug off as acceptable.

Keeping the posts constructive, and somewhat positive, seems to be to be a better course of action than writing a post that says that until the batting glove Velcro is the correct color for the Marlins Alternative Uniform gets fixed, the game is "broken" and the art director should be ashamed that got through the testing of the game...

Well, I suppose that guy has issues beyond what the game can help him with.

As I said way earlier in this thread, it has to be something with the difficulty level and sliders because through a month of my Franchise, I've seen maybe 1 or 2 wild pitches and don't think I've thrown any. I've had ZERO instances where the catcher didn't field the ball quickly and efficiently either. So all that is to say that my main gripe is the SP getting pulled too quickly and it is a BIG problem. Unfortunately, it is something messed up in the logic of the game because it extends to relief pitchers (and closers!) as well.

I played a game last night (note: this is pre-patch - I didn't install it yet) and I was losing to the Yankees 2-0. They brought out Chapman in the 9th and with 2 outs I got a mere single and they pulled Chapman and put in Clippard to finish the game!! This can't happen.

Yup. Played a franchise game. Post patch and they pulled Kimball after one single and two outs in the 9th up 5-4. Franchise is unplayable

I was playing against the Dodgers in a Franchise game pre-patch 1.04...I was down 5-2 in the 9th. LA brings in Kenley Jansen. Jansen promptly serves up a bomb to Kyle Schwarber to make it 5-3. Dodgers then switch pitchers again, and end up winning by that score after my next hitters went down in order.

I also remember this being an issue in previous The Show games, where closers would come in and then be pulled if they give up any runs or get into trouble. So, to me, this isn't a new problem. It would be nice if it were addressed, however...

Check your hook slider as well here... i have found if its lower than default they wont hesitate to pull the closer

I played a few games last night and I actually like the changes to the power of hits. I don't feel afraid to throw fastballs anymore, as now it I locate them well I can get weak grounders/fly outs.

The bat noise is horrible. Not sure how anyone doesn't notice it. It sounds like your bat breaks every time.

This has its own thread going but it's worth mentioning in here. Starting to see runners not leave the box on base hits from time to time. Ball that should be a double to the gap and they just stand there and you get to throw them out at first. Never saw this before the patch so I'm assuming it's something the patch broke.

Instead of mindlessly complaining - let's try doing something constructive.

Capture the video of it. Post it here. That way we can possibly see the issue or even the devs can troubleshoot using actual data and not just "Games unplayable, wah".

There is so much good conversation in this thread that the few bad apples really give the black eye to entire OS community.

It is simply an audio bug and thankfully they know about it and will repair it ASAP.

Glad they listen and respond. They are the best development team in sports gaming folks. They will get it right again.
Yea, he has a clear agenda.

Another thing I've noticed and it may just be me but check swings seem to be a bit off. Like I'm barley touching the button and there taking a full hack at the ball, I don't remember that happening before

Hmmm. I guess I'm a bad apple for pointing out the issues that make franchise mode unplayable. I thought this is what a forum of for is it not? I guess we shouldn't say anything bad about what "USED" to be the greatest game

Unplayable??? If you think that this game is unplayable then you need to fire up an older system and see what we used to play with. This game is fantastic, yes a few bugs and things that I am sure are being worked on as some have already been acknowledged but "unplayable" is not even close to reality.

No. You're a bad apple for not doing it constructively. That's what THIS forum is for, not petulance.

I just told you what you can do the help. Do that, or don't post.

Thanks for the heads up! I did adjust it to help combat the SP getting pulled early issue. Might have to do some more tweaking...

I have the hook slider all the way at zero and the starter stamina at max, so it's definitely not the sliders. As people have been pointing out, it seems to really be an issue on QC. I only play with QC.

It might sound extreme, but I think we'd see more constructive progress if OS required video footage for every complaint made. 3 day ban for anyone who ignores the rule. The flip side is complainers would be free to say what they want, as long as it doesn't violate the terms of service.

Bottom line is that most of the game's issues can be easily documented with photos or video evidence, but what I'm reading is a whole bunch of ambiguity and vague evidence used to support bold claims.

I would LOVE to do this, but you're correct in that it is a bit extreme.

Believe me when I say this - the data that SDS gets is accompanied by footage. If you complain without it you are much less likely to be heard.

I had Verlander go 7ip on 105 pitches and give up 1 run on QC last night. Pretty realistic to me. I have a feeling its a combination of situational elements that cause the issue. In my game Verlander cruised and didnt run into many issues. I think its more about situations than pitch counts. Remember baseball has gone to a bullpen game, it may be trying to replicate that but just needs tweaking. I have still seen complete games in QC.

Interesting. And what difficulty level do you play on? I am somewhat convinced that that is playing a big part in it. Problem is I can't recall offhand whether I play on All Star or Hall of Fame and I'm at work now.
