The tournament part of the stream was 88.8 GB. The Show 17 might be out by the time YouTube processes that.

It's a 'permanent' adjustment to his ratings for the following season. Of course if he suddenly hits good against lefties again next season it will raise. The more I think about this and reading the post you quoted the more it bothers me. I don't understand why they have to make things so major, just make it a +4 or +5 max increase/decrease. Or give us a slider to control the amount of increase/decrease like NBA2k lets you have sliders for pretty much everything. Maybe there are people who want that large of a decrease but I know many of us don't.

The code is locked but they are always great about patches improving gameplay, this is something we need to raise noise about and maybe it will be tweaked.

I'm not a fan of the extremes but I'm willing to give it a try. I wonder if sending a guy to the minors for a month or two would fix it.

Lack of manage mode was what ended those games :-)

So I am thinking spring training games are still useless to play? Same has MLB 06.

I haven't had a chance to watch the stream yet. I saw playoff pitcher stamina was fixed, but did they mention anything about fixing player stamina in general. It depletes way too fast.

Yeah, we still have to find out how in-game fatigue compares to sim engine fatigue though - and that's something we probably won't know until launch day unless a dev chimes in.

Don't know if it was mentioned.....or exactly what it means...but on the scouting player card....saw the injury risk: average.
I don't recall that before.

LOVE the new card.....hot/cold zones...thank you!

I like everything they have added to franchise and can't wait to play it. Just a little confused about the player morale a bit still.

It's also possible that Garcia wound up with a -10 to lefties because of an extremely pronounced bad year against lefties, slumping morale, and team performance which would lead to what might have only been a -4/5 drop into one that wound up to be more dramatic (i.e. tried to break out of the slump but he wound up increasing his strikeout rate and might have been removed from games or platooned and removed against lefties which would decrease moral, etc.)

Not likely dear Watson for a couple of reasons...

(1) The devs specifically highlighted the effect and were basically bragging about how big the stat-based progression was, lol. Luis highlighted his batting average vLHP alone and then related it directly to the effect.

(2) Garcia's other attributes actually went up whereas his contact vLHP went way down. One might deduce that poor team performance etc would likewise decrease his other attributes.

From the Feature List at the beginning of the stream:

"We've also made significant improvements to the existing systems that drive the mode:
-Player generation and progression
-Contract Logic
-Call ups/Send downs"

If this really is noticeably improved, that alone makes the game worth the purchase for me. They mentioned things like Speed and Pitcher Velocity as things that guys have from the start, they don't increase over time from a low rating. This is really good to see that speed guys start out fast and pitchers with canon arms throw hard as prospects, rather than having to wait for those attributes to develop.

And in regards to progression, one of my biggest gripes was that even for A rated prospects, usually progression would happen in a way that you couldn't have a Mike Trout or Bryce Harper who were studs by the age of 22. Top prospects progressed way too slowly, or started with such a low initial rating that they wouldn't even make the big leagues until they were in their mid to late 20's. Maybe this has been improved too.
