With only 1 programmer assigned to franchise and all the "stuff" they have added the programmer is overwhelmed. They need to cease adding gimmicks and focus on the core game.

A great example is quick counts. People are upset because quick counts doesn't seem realistic. There is no such thing as quick counts IRL but people expect it to be realistic and the programmer has to spend time fixing something which prevents the programmer from working on the core game.

Runners advancing on wild pitches
Balls curving exaggeratedly foul
Overpowered infielders

That would be a good start but I'd be very surprised if it gets fixed.

Your repeated posting about QC and QM being "gimmicks" that take away focus from the "core game" is getting tiresome. I could just as easily post about how spending time on fixing issues seen in MOM is wasted time as it's just a CPU simulation that barely anyone plays. I could post about how development time should be spent on actual controller-in-hand gameplay, not OOTP-lite visual simulations. By the way, what's the difference between QM and MOM? Practically nothing, except in MOM you actually watch the gameplay.

But I'm not making that post because it's needlessly argumentative and inaccurate. All of it is "core gameplay," and if there is an issue with the game, the developers will hopefully do their best to fix it. I don't mean to play Internet police, but I wish you'd apply the same logic to your posting.

Why so many people seem to downplay issues like this? These are major issues for some people that affect realism and immersion. But I guess it is okay to call people spoiled crybabies on this board because they paid 60 plus dollars for a game to find out there are some issues?

Man there are corporate clowns on this board it seems.

I don't know what it is but I have some issues as well. I really love the game but this feels like a beta of 18 to me. Which is not bad as sports games always go in cycles, but still....

New features were quick manage and critical situations which are only for sim users.

I play offline franchise manage mode full counts which is the basic game and I don't even bother with bug reports any more because I think the programmer is too overwhelmed with other stuff to get around to fixing the basic game.
Honestly, this is why I prefer two year cycles for sports games. No sports game on the planet seem to release without massive problems in this one year cycle BS. Every single one of the main 4 has these issues every single damn year.

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.
Do you have CPU roster control on? Because that will stop any injuries from happening

Please wake me when a MLB player hits a bomb over 600+ ft this year..

Reading the comments I see that some of my concerns haven't been addressed as of yet. There will no doubt be more patches so I won't overreact. Tomba is being slammed pretty hard for his comments but I actually think his concerns are a testimony of how great this game really is. The bar is so high for this game because of its realism that things like colors being off really are a disappointment for some. Think about that... When that is what affects your ability to enjoy the game, the game itself must be pretty amazing. If the colors are correct everywhere else he just wants them corrected in those areas as well. That whole Tigers jersey thing wasn't a big deal to everyone but they fixed that. Not trying to speak for him but that's how I interpreted his comments not just that he was being a crybaby.

Not home right now, but can someone give a rundown on what's been fixed/added/tweaked for uniforms? What positives have you seen from the patch, as opposed to stuff that's broken/needs fixing?

Pretty much all i wanted fixed was SP getting pulled too early in QC.
As this appears that this hasn't happened along with bat sounds taking a turn for the worse this patch is a skip for me.

Roll on 1.05..

The problem was that one of his complaints was on something real, while the other two highlighted something wrong or recently switched post release

Gameplay obviously. Perhaps you missed my whole point. The game is so good that we can find ourselves complaining about secondary issues like uniforms and colors.

Or maybe you're just old and it doesn't matter as much. lol. I turn 46 next month on the 23rd.... and I've been playing these games most of my life. Below is the baseball that I started out playing.

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.
 
# 176 forme95 @ 04/25/17 04:18 PM
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

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.
