I have just started to keep tabs on the pop outs to catchers. I have played now...over 250 games.

Yes it is a sickness and I am ACTIVELY seeking counseling and a support group.

So it is becoming quite apparent to me it is a problem. At least in my eyes and my playing experience.

There are some warts (like every year when you play enough games) but overall the very best game in the series history. Took many steps forward. And in area's that have opened up new modes to me.

Online Franchise/Diamond Dynasty. And the main reasons are attributed to 2 things:

1) of course the connection and servers are greatly improved (still needs lot's of work to catch up to EA's online experience with Madden but a great leap this year).

2) Manual fielding. I am truly having a blast playing defense for the first time ever in this series history. It was the one area that sorely lacked for me coming over from MVP 2005. They really improved outfield play, and understanding that you need to be able to track balls properly, play balls off the wall properly. Ratings really matter in this aspect of the game. Ball parks too. For example...I hate playing at Fenway as the wall is a mother ****er to deal with now! LOL. Just like IRL.

They really nailed this area of the game and I can see even more progress going forward. So since fielding is much more intuitive, I ventured to online play and have not looked back. I still play plenty offline (where the game is platinum) but playing online franchise with Simulation Owners here at OS and building my Diamond Dynasty team has made this game virtual drugs for me. I will probably log over 500 games by the time MLB 16 comes out.

That is what the Devs want to hear.

Well done SCEA....well done.

There are tons of broken bats in real life, just they don't fly off the bat like they do in this game. This game needs the other kind of broken bat, where it just slightly cracks or a small piece gets chipped away.

EDIT: Case in point, there have been three broken bats in four batters in the Braves-Giants game right now, none of which shattered. (I'm on delay and just finished the top of the 3rd inning, if you'd like to know it was Aoki, Bethancourt, and Teheran).

# 223 LowerWolf @ 05/31/15 04:28 PM

One thing I'm really enjoying is the variety in games.

I've been playing this series all the way back to the PS1 days. And I always pitch really well and struggle to hit. A 5-4 game was a slugfest for me. But not anymore.

I'm in early May with the Braves and I just finished a four-game series with the Reds. First game: I'm down 10-5 with four outs to go and I rally for an 11-10 win. The crazy thing? I scored those 11 runs without hitting a single homer. Second game: Cingrani dominates me and I lose 3-0. Third game: I win 3-2 in 11 innings. Fourth game: I blast three homers and win 11-0.

Yes that is what I meant.....too many getting broken into pieces flying....but broken bats that get simply cracked are quite common.

# 225 HozAndMoose @ 05/31/15 06:55 PM

I think a lot of issue with the catcher has to do with the ball not having enough weight to it and falling to slowly. It seems like very time the catcher goes into his super fast animation to get balls in front of the plate he catches it in the air off of a bounce. When the ball is on the ground though he takes a little more time. And if the ball had more weight there would be less time for him to get to some of the pop ups as well.

I could be wrong on that as i havent really taken the time to look into it but just from playing and noticing it as it happens that seems to be one of the issues.

# 226 Bgreene01 @ 05/31/15 09:00 PM

Out of curiosity, has anyone had the CPU perform a drag bunt or bunt for a hit attempt against them since this patch has come out?

I downloaded it this weekend and have yet to see one in five games. Not a big sample size, but it got me thinking something might be up with bunt attempts.

For what it is worth, I am using the OSFM Opening Day V.1 roster and have all of my sliders set to default.

Thanks for any input.

Yes I have. I just had Angel Pagan bunt for a hit against me in the game I just played.

I hope for next year online franchise gets some more attention. 30 games in and the opening week paint is still there.

Not true at all....not how you came to that conclusion.
But even if it were.....could you blame them?
The backhanded comments and side door attempts at calling them liars basically is making the Show forums irrelevant.
How can there be any real conversation if you're(not you in particular) not even going to start with what the devs tell you is the case?
You reap what you sow.

Usually, textures artists get a decent amount of feedback from people but do their own thing. I'm fine with that and the lighting and whatever else too. "You" reap what you so is completely ridiculous line of thinking for me anyway. I don't even ask for anything but accurate jerseys atm. Yeah, it's something they need to find a way to get done. The excuses for inaccurate jerseys are not sitting well with people anymore, it certainly is not just me. This is the ONLY MLB game out there. It's time to step up their communication with the people in the agencies that run the style guide. I never called anyone liars so I don't have that kinda baggage on me. I just think they are not learning enough or improving enough, and this may not be the devs it could be the higher-ups in charge, as an entire organization when it comes to things like uniforms. Are we really going to go another full year with the Yankees jerseys and the misplaced numbering? Seems like something a modder would fix within a month or two. It'd be nice just to get some feedback on why these things cannot be done, or better WHEN they WILL be done, because these are not just issues you press aside like they don't matter. Stuff about little things like fatigue and glitches I don't care so much about. Accuracy in MLB uniforms? Yeah, I think that is pretty important when you are the only MLB game on the block. I am pretty patient too. I can wait.

since you're a man of intricate detail.....

...it's reap what you SOW......not SO

That's the thing though. Things that you call "little" or "don't care so much about" other people do. Some people think adding the opening and closing of stadium roofs is extremely important while I do not care. Then, as a developer, you have things that you have to do and things that you'd like to do, but can't due to a lack of resources or because those things aren't a high enough priority. Sure a modder could fix your issue in a month or two, but a modder doesn't have a schedule; s/he can choose what to focus on and spend however much time is necessary while developers can't do that. If developers were to cater to every single user request, we wouldn't even have a MLB game to play.

Will there be another patch or is 1.03 the final patch?

There has been no mention of another patch so I'm guessing this is it

Usually Russell tells us when that is the last one. I think maybe one more in the pipeline, I was actually figuring tomorrow as they have dropped Thursday mornings, I think. If not soon, then I would agree they are done with 15 and have gone full tilt at 16.

I'm all for making the game better.

I didn't know that, thanks for getting everyone's hopes up

# 238 LowerWolf @ 06/03/15 02:23 PM

The last patch for MLB 14 came on July 17th, so I'm guessing - but strictly guessing - there will be one more.

# 239 Millennium @ 06/03/15 02:40 PM

Alright, that's enough everyone.

If you aren't going to post constructively on either side if the fence, don't hit the reply button.

# 240 Arizito Sports @ 06/05/15 01:21 PM

Did they fix the first career home run glitch ?
