Re: MLB The Show 25 Game Update 7 - Patch Notes

Haven't noticed. Most of what was hit on the ground has been towards the middle infield and Swanson/Hoerner rarely get anything but perfect jumps anyway.

And as for me hitting into the Cardinals infield, well...I've had a bad time just making contact

Yeah It’s likely the same.

Re: MLB The Show 25 Game Update 7 - Patch Notes

FWIW, the CPU did pull the starting pitcher in this game in the 5th, having allowed just 0 runs, 1 hit and struck out 8. He threw 77 pitches, and has 78 stamina. I didn't get to check what his energy was before the pull but I'm sure he must have been in the yellow because mine has similar stamina and was yellow by the same point.

Do people consider that an early hook? I just want to gauge how people feel about things like this. Personally I think this one was fine in the modern game, and especially with how the CPU actually utilizes the bullpen correctly now, it can make scoring in the late innings quite challenging. Plate discipline becomes a much larger factor as the tradeoff for all of the hard-throwing high H/9 bullpen guys is less accuracy, and more walks if you're willing to take them.

...I say that as I chase a nasty slider off the plate from one of said bullpen guys and roll into my 3rd 2-ball of the game.

Reynaldo Lopez went 6.1 against me and was pulled after a walk and a homerun allowed. He was around 80 pitches I believe.

I haven’t seen any starters pulled “early” in my experience but as you said it depends on how people are viewing early hooks.

I swear it feels that way with infielders(outfielders feel same as before) but I have nothing to back that up.

And FWIW I had surgery yesterday morning and I’m taking some pretty good medication [emoji13]

It appears that the third base jacket issue is when it's a fake coach. Ugh. Such an eyesore. Either fix this, SDS, or get the stinkin' right coaches in there.

I've had to bump up CPU starter stamina to 8, and drop the manager hook to 4 in this years game. I'm finding too many starters are getting pulled around that 5th inning, pitching relatively well, with a pitch count between 70-80. And this is with starters with decent to good stamina ratings.

While I know bullpen usage is up and starters pitch less nowadays, most starters are still capable of going 5+, even if they've given up a couple of runs. It feels like starters are too quickly in the yellow on default, and thus the CPU is pulling them in those middle innings relatively quickly/at the first sign of trouble.

I don't believe so as far as cleats/batting gloves. The Braves got new stance socks.

4 or 5 innings is about what you're going to get in todays game. So, I'd say that's realistic.

Not sure about moving faster as I never used it because of glitch and my Cards stink so no national television games lol

Are you sure "we" (Cardinals) stink? We beat Skenes AGAIN last night! (That's what 3 out of 4 starts?)

But YES, GREAT PATCH! Only big thing missing is stadium creator fix...

Re: MLB The Show 25 Game Update 7 - Patch Notes

Did the incorrect game start times fix in existing Franchises? Or do you have to start over?

Yes. Saw it for a pretty dramatic 3 run homer in the first game.
