Some very questionable decisions this year.

Never thought I’d be saying this but I finally have a problem with the HR camera. Unlike others I’ve actually enjoyed it over the years even though I do agree there should be an option to turn it off. But the camera facing the hitter HR camera is horrendous. Who in the world would rather see the player instead of where the ball is going? This view is for replays of anything.

I also don’t know why they got rid of the bullpen camera, and not only is the bullpen just a boring menu, it is awfully designed making it difficult to see who is warming up in the list and where the cursor needs to be with it being just a line under their name.

Stuff like this makes me feel new employees and directors are being hired at SDS that aren’t gamers and aren’t fans of baseball.

MLBs Commissioner hates baseball

So maybe he's taken over hiring @SDS?!

I've learned to tolerate the HR camera. although I still don't like it. But I hate, hate, hate the bullpen warmup this year. It was great how it was, and I don't see the purpose of removing it. I agree it's boring this year, and hard to tell what is what.

I actually kind of like the home run camera. It’s a refreshing change to the presentation even in fast play mode, where those tweaks are usually less evident.

That said, I’d agree that the new quick menus are frustrating. I keep fighting my old instincts and I’m really not sure what the benefit is.

I don’t get who decided it was a good idea to not let us see the bullpen. Somebody made an AWFUL design decision.

Still not a fan of the HR camera, and all I ask is they give us the option to disable it, or even modify how frequently it is used.

I really hate the new bullpen screen. I've gotten used to it, but I'm not a fan.

HR camera is actually bad. Right? No one can deny it.

Resources. Plain and simple. Its assets they don’t have to dedicate resources to. Let’s face it. DD is king, and it’s pretty much a card collecting simulator with arcade gameplay. Those guys hate the fact that they have to use their bullpen much less want to see those guys warming up. Don’t believe me, just go over to Reddit and half the threads are guys complaining about having to use their bullpen in DD. SDS simply decided to relocate those resources elsewhere.
