Was hoping to see players lead off with auto base running as they don't currently (Human and CPU), as well as the issue where the pitcher noticeably hesitates before running to home plate on a wild pitch as a guy is running down from 3rd. It's like he forgets where he is. Still love the game and greatest sports game of all time.

I am able to perform dives very well and my success rate is high, that is a reason why I see it often.

Why you got to point out that my defensive skills are lacking nem?

Take it back to the store you bought it from and ask for a refund. Might want to take your receipt with you.

And there is a workaround for the issue. Fellow Cub fans (bcruise) can fill you in because I honestly don't know the details.

Although I kind of expect this to go unread by the other poster...

Short version: Pause and switch teams when you see a high foul ball heading into the field box seats on either side of the foul lines. The bug will not trigger when the fielder is user-controlled.

The bug does not happen on every foul ball (or even close to it), it takes a specific location and height to allow the fielder to run into the wall and fool the boundary. I probably don't average one of these per game, though it can happen 2 or 3 times in a game. Just depends on how many foul balls you hit. It's annoying, but not horribly immersion-breaking to switch teams when I see this coming.

Unfortunately, there is no fix for this in RTTS.

So, still must fear throwing over to first on a pick off attempt, then.

I don't even attempt to pick-off anymore. I'd much rather the runner attempt to steal and try to throw him out at 2nd than to have the ball fly into the stands. I'd be fine with the throwing error if it were a throw to the left or right of 1B, but something about seeing the ball go into the stands is just frustrating.

FYI to all ... I accepted the update today JUST to see what would happen... and it CHANGED THE RATINGS OF MY "OLDER" Phillies mid season of my offline franchise ...I had suspected this when I accepted the patch last week... I had this franchise started months ago!!! I edited them back though. That is pretty stupid I think .. If I accept a game path or update it should not affect my existing franchise ratings.. ugh!!! And yes... The Wrigley bug is pretty stupid and should be fixed... but change the ratings of my Franchise League players???? Really???!!!!

My franchise players didn't change ratings at all. Young nor old.

I've played a franchise through all 4 patches and not once did my player's ratings change.

That isn't an option buddy

Go to your user settings, press L1 to get to last page of settings, then press R2 to get to Advanced Settings. Should be one of the last options in that set.

What is the boundary issue in Wrigley?

Such a disappointing patch, especially knowing this is the last one with any hope of addressing non DD issues.. I know and accept that the money making modes will always get priority, but to have given up completely on franchise is a big middle finger to a huge segment of customers.

It's still possible to enjoy franchise with heavy editing and workarounds, but here's a list for MLB 16

- Balance overall Pitcher progression
- Pitcher progression velocity bug
- Playoff pitcher stamina
- Amateur draft generation, age over flow issue
- Amateur draft generation, inflated potential
- Amateur draft generation, ridiculous looking players
- Previous patch broke CPU lead offs
- Inflated pick off move errors(Can we call this fixed by removing lead offs?)
- Budgets preventing FA signings, leaving 90+ rated players unsigned.
- 1B not covering bag on diving plays.
- Players choosing relaxed throwing animations inappropriately.
- Catchers allowing passed balls on fastballs in the strike zone.
- Manager salary demands climbing to 8M+/year

That's just off the top of my head, I could come up with a lot more..

Year-to-year saves only make sense if you've tuned the game to make sense years down the road.

I'm having a ton of fun in Franchise mode, FWIW. I don't sim and I play every game, so I haven't seen those types of bugs you only experience a few seasons down the road. Sure, it's got its problems but overall it's a pretty solid game with golden gameplay. FIFA is the only game that comes close in terms of atmosphere and smooth gameplay.

Essentially you're saying I shouldn't be frustrated because you haven't experienced the bugs I listed(yet). I understand why you posted, and I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it. You should be paying attention to the bugs reported by long sim franchise guys, some of the issues are already starting and will effect year 2, such as the velocity bug, scouting leading to more overage draft players, inflated amateur draft potentials, etc.. You'll have to deal with it all sooner or later.


I play 2 franchises each year, one where I never sim and try to play all 162+ games, and one where I rebuild a team long term and sim until all real players have retired, then play games with "my" players.

The no-sim franchise has been more fun, no doubt.

Almost every issue I listed should have been recognized and fixed after a single long sim test. It's not unreasonable to ask that some of them be addressed with a patch.

It seems like anything with a hint of negativity gets dismissed as some kind of disparaging ungratefulness. The entire point of a franchise mode is to play into the future, not just provide a single season experience. Right now it doesn't do what it's intended to do. The list is intelligent, helpful feedback, for free.

It's not like I'm complaining about Jayson Werth's arms not being hairy enough..

He said nothing about the experience you were having, or were supposed to have. He was relating his own experience.

Maybe he shouldn't have quoted you, but I didn't see anything in that post to suggest he was telling you what to think.

FWIW I agree with pretty much everything on your list. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy the game for what it is and does right.

All these complaints how about a poll for if it's disc or digital download?

There's no need to be touchy. I definitely didn't say you shouldn't complain about bugs. Just saying that it is possible to enjoy the game, still.
