Any mentions or fixes on when you have auto base running and when you bunt with the pitcher the runner on first goes to third every time?

At work and can't check for myself...

Has the issue where more than one run would score on a walkoff hit, been fixed? For instance, in a 2-2 game runners on 3rd and 2nd, single up the middle, it would say 4-2 at end of the game as both runs were credited. Whereas, in real life only one would be allowed to score as he was the winning run, only exception is on a HR. I've encountered this issue 3 times already.

The trades are VASTLY improved, however I've notice a new flaw I've never seen before:

All teams set to auto for a test sim.

Tigers trade SS Dixon Machado for C AJ Jimenez of Toronto. Cool.

Later, Tigers trade SS Jose Iglesias to SF for C Andrew Susac. Ok.

With Andrew Romine hurt, the only other SS in the entire organization is Josh Prince...whom the Tigers leave in AAA all year and instead go with their new Cs at SS, and even a spell from CF Anthony Gose.

Amazingly, Detroit hs the 4th best fielding % as well as the 4th least amount of errors through July 31st.

Again, this game's biggest flaw remains its inability to call up players properly for performance and now apparently need.

Even with 40 team control, which I personally don't enjoy using and thus don't, it's a tedious thing to have to manage 30 club's minor leagues.

Yes you can. I just tried it.

Obviously you don't watch the Nationals play, or see Matt Adams Tuesday drop two at first base right out of his glove.

Well this makes me want to take the rest of the day off work. Just a few questions though, will all of this change if I have already started my franchise, or do I have to restart? Two, what was wrong with players wearing sleeves? I had noticed them wearing sleeves during early season night games. But the issue if pitchers wearing sleeves at night games even up in the middle if summer had appeared to be fixed. They didn't go back to doing that did they?

I know and I am not trying to be a fire starter but I PERSONALLY feel like the errors are about right in line. Sure I have been frustrated by some of the bone head plays that happen, but I would rather they happen than not.

Why didn't they patch where the animations skip from when the catcher throws back the ball to the pitcher. Why can't they fix that and let the animation play out UGH Please fix that.

General – Wrigley Field had some collision/Home Run detection issues. Certain foul balls were being counted as Home Runs down the 1st base line.

It wasn't only Wrigley that had the problem. It also exists in US Cellular. I submitted a bug report on it. Nice to see it was ignored.

Simming ahead to the following season, the Tigers do have 2 SSs on the Opening Day roster, 3 middle infielders total, but are also carrying 4 catchers.

Thank goodness they fixed the online walk freezing.
 
# 92 Elvis20870 @ 04/23/15 01:14 PM
Also the batter walk up arn't for ever batter. Why can't the batter walkup be for every batter that comes to the plate. Sometimes it just skips to next batter in the batters box. Please fix this.

This was done on purpose for this year. It's not a bug. So I doubt they will be patching it. Perhaps next year if enough people complain about the issue, the full batter walkups for every batter will be restored. But I doubt you will see any changes this year regarding the issue.

If im not mistaken the lawsuit was dropped a couple days ago.

Because the vast and I mean very vast majority of people who play our game want to finish games faster.
 
# 98 Factzzz @ 04/23/15 01:26 PM
They need to fix how editing certain parts of a player's batting stance effects another part of the stance.

For example, changing a player's follow through to two hands, also changes the players stride to one of the generic ones.

So you're forced to leave guys like Joey Votto, Jose Altuve, and many other players with one hand follow throughs because you don't want their stride to change.

If this isn't a bug, then it's just a terrible design choice, and it hasn't been this way since editing batting stances was implemented in MLB 13, or 12, can't remember.

They should play on Fast Mode then, true broadcast, real-time should still be an option. Like years past.

That's why you have FAST PLAY option. Even when your not playing fast play not every batter has a walk up and the catcher doesn't throw back to the pitcher its a cut scene. UGH LOL Great game other wise
