Fixed issues with pitchers that pitch from the stretch with no runners on base.
Fixed issue causing ball-boy to use a full run instead of a jog when running to dead ball catches.
Fixed an issue causing a runner on 3rd to try to go home on a bunt when the catcher was fielding the ball right next to the line and could easily tag him out.
Added head tilt constraint to improve the head angle when a pitcher looks back at a runner on 2nd base.
Average runners have better steal success than before. This is a small change, but there are a lot of close plays getting them tagged out. The effect is pronounced when playing against certain pitchers, and for these pitchers the runners were being capped from getting their best jump (compared to last year).
In Manage Only Mode, opposing teams would never sac bunt.
Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox): Night and Day capacity numbers were switched.
Season/Franchise: When toggling through teams on Free Agents list, the background color does not change to match selected team's colors.
RTTS Showcase: An out of place Right Stick icon appeared in the mode header after accessing the Universal Profile. We didn't handle the Showcase play mode.

A potential prospects don't sign long term team friendly deals any longer. I think budgets still raise too high relative to the contracts that are handed out.

I see teams that are in rebuild mode to start the franchise and stay that way through the offseason into the next season.

Sim steals look real good now too.

Does that mean it's good enough to where you don't have to manually go through the league and offer A potential guys 1 year contracts as you recommended before?

The rebuild mode, is that different from how it behaved before? I did see teams offering those 3 minor leaguers for a good MLB player deals much earlier in the year (April/May). I forget who exactly but I think they were actually good teams that were doing it. I still hate the trade logic but I check those manually anyways.

Steals are great. My only issues remaining with sim stats are Complete games and Shutouts way too high but maybe we need them to be that way to get the rest of the pitching stats looking good as they do. There is a bug in the league leaders screen hopefully they will fix it next patch if we are so fortunate: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...aders-bug.html

There is a problem with the appeal portion of the game. I had to turn it off. You will get rung up on those type of swings.

I don't think a team should go into rebuild until at least june. Then should reset at the end of the season. I think in the past it was June or July that team strategies changed.

You no longer have to give each player a one year deal the CPU does it auto.

Year 2 budget increases are more reasonable highest I think I saw was 17% in year 2. Year one still had 39% increases and Yankees had 115 million in room the start of season 2 and were still in rebuild mode.

Edit: year 2 I have seen some long term deals slip through Wil Myers signed a 5 year deal at 1.1 a year.

Can you turn your phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot and then connect your PS3 to that?

I'm assuming there's no Vita patch?

yup.
i still play the show 12 with fictional rosters.

only reason i was gonna get it this year was because you could transfer files.

Could you run the same sim in a pre-patch save file to see if it works this way when updating a Franchise already in progress?

In The Show if you take even a small 1 step extra lead you get nailed. I have to use Eric Young Jr the same as I use Daniel Murphy on the bases in terms of leads, it's just weird. I feel the Steal ability and/or speed ratings should have more of an impact on whether the base runner gets picked off with a lead. It appears as if it is irrelevant.

This. Killing the run game in chise for both human and CPU.

I have no problem with teams starting and finishing MANY seasons in Rebuild mode. No fan of the Astros, Twins, Cubs and others would tell you their teams were in anything but rebuild mode to start this season. And they started last year the same way. And will probably start next year that way too.

And whenever Ruben Amaro Jr accepts reality, the Phillies will also face multiple seasons of what could be considered rebuilding.

I quite like this and think its realistic.

Definitely turn it off. You will still get rung up by the home plate ump a realistic amount of times. Seems like a fair balance to me.

I turned down the foul balls slider 2 notches for me and CPU and had reasonable pitch counts. That was pre patch , haven't DL'd the patch yet so I might need to readjust.

# 75 Cavicchi @ 04/23/14 06:37 PM

Is auto baserunning only like last year or is there the added AI will steal for you?

# 76 tabarnes19_SDS @ 04/23/14 07:03 PM

Never mind...

# 77 MaverickAZ @ 04/23/14 07:12 PM

I really like the quick counts option, however, after renting game a few times (waiting for ps4 version), I got really frustrated with pitch counts getting to 100 by the 5th inning way too often

getting 1st pitch outs is pretty common, especially if a team is pressing at the plate. Would be nice if, based off certain scenarios, a 0-0 count option would sporadically happen. Giving you chance to get a 1st pitch out

Was really hoping to see that in a patch

Yeah that would have been nice to see a rare 0-0 count to start, I agree. The only game I played with the patch I hit 100 in the 7th inning. Still felt the same though with the amount of 3-2 counts I was seeing which was disappointing.

I'll have to play and keep tally of the QC generated counts and compare to the numbers I was seeing pre-patch. I'd like to be able to throw a complete game in under 125 pitches. Idk if its ever possible to be under 135-140 with QC however. SP stamina slider has to be increased for sure at least to 7 IMO

Did they seriously add a ball boy? He was never there before. They list of updated things suggests he was always there.

The ball boy is in the ps4 version. So a few of us are wondering if this patch applies to the ps4 version as well.
