Yep, sent a note to Brian. I don't think it's QC. It's the fact that the manager pulls a SP because his team hasn't scored.

My pitcher was pitching a solid game, but my team hadn't scored a run, so I got that message when he was due up "would you like to pinch hit for the pitcher?" Just wondering if it's something under the hood that uses the same logic on the CPU pitcher. I haven't looked to see if the CPU pitcher was pinch hit for when he was due up, I just looked at the fact there were 0 runs scored.

I'm beating a dead horse, so I want to get back to enjoying the game, but it's possible.

I've played about 10 games (all before this latest patch) on default AllStar. The longest homerun I've seen has been about 465 feet. I've had more than a hand full that were line drives and less than 400 feet. I haven't had a large sample size, but I haven't seen the mammoth homeruns others are seeing.

I used that as an example of the default game, as my sliders have yet to figure out how to nerf the catcher and wild pitch issues.

There's gotta be something deeper going on with either the slides or the level of difficulty. I play on All Star (I think - have to double check) with sliders adjusted greatly, and I have never had any issues with passed balls, wild pitches, bunting, catchers running slowly to the ball, or invisible glove. My real only issue is the CPU SP issue. I also play with QC.

Agreed.

I fixed my HR troubles early with my slider set, I was using this example as part of the default out-of-the-box game play issues.

I used that example as my sliders and changes to the editable-attributes have yet to find a fix to the passed-ball wild pitch issues, but yes, my HR distances and frequency are perfect for me as adjusted with my slider set.

You know....

I am playing on All-Star as well, but for hitting.

My pitching and Analog Defense is on Hall of Fame...

I wonder if there are some under-the-hood issues with this that are inherent to the skill level being raised?

Good idea.

Did anyone try starting there franchise over to see if that fixed the starting pitcher issue ?
 
# 87 CardsNation8412 @ 04/25/17 12:24 PM
Does the update affect CPU pitchers in rtts in regards to pitch counts?

im at work and cant test but if the only thing i wanted fixed (starter stamina) in QC isnt working still, then ill just play a full game.... i know we pay our hard earned money for this product and we want something that "works", but if you compare the SDS team against all the other sports dev teams out there, they are more in tuned with wanting to give us a finished product.

i am 34 years old... i remember the days of old sports games that we just lived with what was given to us... nhl 94, skating across the crease for an automatic goal, etc..... enjoy what is given to us, if you want a carbon copy of baseball on tv, then watch tv... its a video game... glitches happen.

sorry, ill end my rant now. i just want to thank the devs for what they have done for us and the roster and slider gurus for making the game even more enjoyable than it already is.

As a fellow 34-year-old with the same memories, I'll echo this sentiment. This dev team is the best, as has been since MLB 06 The Show.

One thing that is still there (devs didn't list this in the patch) is the QC sim game where the reliever comes in and picks up the pitch count from the previous pitcher. Surprised that didn't make it in.

EDIT: This is happening in non QC also.

Thank you guys & gals at SDS. I know you guys are doing above & beyond for us gamers. No complaints from me.
 
# 93 The Chef @ 04/25/17 12:43 PM
First game post patch and through 5.2 IP I've thrown 3 wild pitches and all 3 ended with the CPU advancing a base even though the ball literally was right in front of the catcher. If they supposedly fixed it I'm not seeing it in the first game that's for sure.

As for power, hits seem weaker now then pre-patch but too early to tell.

Is it just me or does the sound of the ball of the bat sound off? Everything sounds like the bat is breaking whenever a pitch is hit, it's kinda off putting.

In the patch notes it says about adjustments made to "overall sound effects" but the sound of the ball of the bat isn't something that needed fixing IMO

This is true, it was unveiled right before the home opener.

For the life of me. We've all seen their twitch streams and see how EASY their art director goes into menus fixing and looking at things for them to NOT address these 3 main eyesores is just outright awful


Basically those of us that care about these three teams can't have just the most simplest fixes? I mean they're just a minor adjustment!

Game Is Good. But I can't stomach to play in these stadiums at all and many others I've talked to away from this forum feel the same


I've reported this bug through their forum twice. And all over Twitter

Nothing done about it

There is nothing wrong with SunTrust's grass. Have you seen a game there? It's pretty neon under the lights.

I've been to Suntrust Park and if look at games on tv their grass color is correct. The grass is neon green!!

Thank you! I thought this was in my head. Everything sounds like a broken bat and you no longer seem to get that sweet spot feel when you nail it, every hit seems to feel like it's jammed you (and react a bit like it)

I just had Chris Davis hit a bomb off me and it sounded like the bat had split, not good

Regarding bat sounds, I recall disliking the sound the ball makes with the bat when I first popped in '17. It sounded very weak compared to '16.

Are you saying there's a new ball-bat sound problem, or is it just as weak as before?
