If you tap L2 non-stop until the pitcher pitches, the runner gets an enormous jump and can steal at almost a 99% clip. It doesn't matter how fast or slow the runner is or what you have the base running success slider set to, they always get an enormous jump. I don't want to have to set a house rule that I can't steal ever.

How about a house rule that you not cheese a flaw you know is there? Just a thought.

Some of you guys really are blowing things way out of proportion.

I'm getting the feeling some of you just aren't happy unless you have something to complain about. Anything...anything at all.

This has not fixed the starters being pulled too early bug

Perhaps instead of opening your trap in an attempt to be clever, you could provide an alternative way to fix the issue? Or is that too difficult?
Provocative tone aside, this is not my experience at all. And as such I cannot suggest an alternative.

Haven't tried to do much stealing post-patch yet, but pre-patch I could steal with a high success rate with high rated runners with the L2 tap. If I tried it with slower runners I was dead meat unless the pitch was in the dirt.

L2 tap is the only way I try to steal bases when playing vs. the CPU. Holding/releasing L2 takes steal ratings out of the equation.

Anyone feel like they dumbed down hitting too much?

I just 1-hit the Dodgers over 7 innings with 67 rated Matt Cain on Hall Of Fame difficulty...

I personally cannot tell you how deeply disappointed I am with this patch. To me the most requested fix for QC was the starting pitcher issue. And it seems it was completely ignored. I have waited, tested, and cannot play any type of realistic franchise as it is. I am totally frustrated that they didn't even make an effort to fix this.

For those that have time to play a full game, Glad it's somewhat working for you. I neither have the time no the desire to play every game. And even if you do. Unless you play every single game, If you sim all the other CPU games you will run into the same problems as playing QC because if you check box score and stats at the end of the season, you will find relievers have far more innings pitched than starters.

IMO there is absolutely no excuse for this. This did not happen in 14, 15, 16 and there is no excuse for it to be happening now. And I find it hard that the Dev's chose to ignore this in this patch.

As great as this game could possibly be, and may be for others, for pure QC players or total sim players, this game is broken. The CPU logic is completely screwed up. And if you love baseball and stats, it is a killer to see a starting pitcher being pulled in the 5th inning in a close game with a 68 pitch count. Once in a while but checking box scores, playing games and seeing it game after game completely ridiculous. For those of you that don't mind it. Enjoy the game. For myself, I am done with it. It's back to 16. It is not worth the frustration and no sliders or adjustments seem to fix it. I really loved some of the new features but I will give that up to get some realistic pitching logic.

When and if the Dev's decide to fix this, I will try again, but I am quickly losing faith as I really believed the latest patch would address it. Now I have my doubts if it will be addressed at all.

I have not updated yet but I was hoping the problem you posted in your sig was fixed. I thought it would be when one of the notes mentioned it for RTTS. I know they say RTTS is the same as player lock mode put into the other game modes but some things mainly mile stone and high lights are just different. It has been this way since MLB 15 unfortunately.

Ok enough is enough. No more warnings, no more deleting posts if you all cant follow TOS then it is time to go. Millennium has posted several times that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated and it needs to stop. People are now going on leave from OS.

I just fired it up and seen that the did fix the Rangers Batting Helmets. The Rangers went to Matte Helmets this year, and previously the game still had the Flossy Helmets. Using the Red Unis now I see the Matte helmet on Carlos Gomez so that's good. Unfortunately I bet the Red Sleeves and undergarments arent switched to Red when using the home White Unis with Red Hats and Alt 1 Pants. That still annoys the piss out of me.

Hopefully this fixes the funky OSD's that show some fast balls with a 756 Inch Break on the Show Tracker, and also fixes the Incorrect teams and divisions showing up when they look at the standings in between innings. Ive had one time where I was playing the Royals, and the announcers said "lets look at the standing in the AL Central", and the OSD Said AL Central, but had all the teams from the AL East in there. Also there was a time where they were talking about the AL West Standings and once again, it said AL West, and had all the AL East teams shown on the screen. Perhaps a little East Coast bias? lol

im a MOM player and i love how they dummed down the power! seeing infielders have to make great plays even saw my pitcher take a flip from the best Adrian Gonzales to cover 1st!!! you see once every 10 games hoping to see it now. i need to tell my pitchers in the show to skip PFP and go play some golf never needed in this game!

Also, I agree with u 100% that home runs weren't an issue pre patch. And, frankly, because I don't use QC's I can't say I'm having problems with starting pitchers being removed too soon.

My only complaint is pitches in the dirt that result in runners advancing. While I think it needs addressing I hope they don't completely remove it. Sometimes I think folks would love to bury change ups in the dirt without repercussion.

Are you playing Zelda on Switch? The beauty of that system is they can play BOTW in handheld mode while you play The Show on the big screen. I am over 200 hours in and still haven't done everything. Might be the best game I've ever played.


OT, did they fix the Chipper Jones mission?

Lol. I use the switch when I'm working and they play on the WiiU at home. They don't want to give up the 75 inch TV!

Let's not live in utopia though...it's a good thing that the game allows us to modify key elements to our own liking. Pitch speed is an example wherein some folks are fine on default meanwhile my old eyes must have it at zero.

They didn't fix the "from the 49th state" glitch yet?
 
# 258 Armor and Sword @ 04/25/17 09:58 PM
Looking at the ticker

League Leader category does show and the stats are correct in what I saw so far.

HR’s.

So I will wait to see Doubles, Triples etc.

But so far so good.

Idk if this has been mentioned already, but big thanks to the team for making the Orioles helmets a matted material, little things like that make this game the best.

Did you try your idea/fix on the sound of the bat issue (raising solid hits to 10)? Curious if that fixed it.

A weak sound of the bat really kills the immersion.
