Re: Patch Ideas?

That sounds bad. I wonder how many people use Auto base running I beat it is really low like 10% or something maybe even lower.

I've only played with auto BR (I don't feel I can react quickly enough to make the decision for 2-3 runners at once, in a key spot), but if you go over to the "baserunning" thread, there are quite a few people using classic and default mode that are experiencing the same problem. It's generally with two outs in important situations, it seems.

I love how you can override the auto BR, because in the past, the CPU would often be a little less agressive than called for on the basepaths. If it weren't for this issue, I think it would be a huge step forward this year.

Re: Patch Ideas?

Fix auto baserunning, and the ump never calls a strike on my batter on check swing appeals. They should have done better than this.

Re: Patch Ideas?

The difficulty in offline DD games (extra innings) has no variance. HoF is just as easy as veteran. Can this please be looked in to?

I'm not actually sure, like I said, I exclusively use auto because once there are multiple runners on, I just KNOW I'll screw it up.

Also I just noticed another thing which is not a gamebreaker at all but may be an easy fix...

In Simcast mode or whatever it's called, where you watch the simulation play out, Matt Vasgersian says "So and so, stepping in for his first at-bat" or "Player X, making his first appearance" almost every at bat, even if the player is on their sixth AB of the game. At least in spring training, maybe it doesn't happen during regular season games, haven't gotten there yet.

Again, NBD, but it kinda takes away from the immersion.

Re: Patch Ideas?

Off the top of my head here are a few :

- The option for delayed trades in franchise is missing

- The option to view your opponent's bench in game is missing (you press the button and hear a click but it doesn't change the screen)

- The jersey number no longer appears on the player card (possibly by design, but I would like it back)

- In the roster control screen when you change your #1 pitcher it won't replace him in the line-up. The only way to get out is for you to use the auto setting which reshuffles your line-up and you have to manually reset all four line-ups

Re: Patch Ideas?

I'd like to see a slider for cpu baserunner aggression, they seem overly aggressive right now.

Re: Patch Ideas?

Frame rate issues

Conquest ending issue

Preferably a few more stubs per 9 inning games would be nice

Re: Patch Ideas?

Please bring back the ability to remove ball halo in RTTS like last year, as well as those horrible big red arrows that show where the ball is headed.

And can you please also fix ball trail so off does mean off.

As a SP in RTTS nothing kills the immersion more than these horrible arcade features that I can't turn off. If the options to turn them off were there in previous versions, why have they been removed in 16?

It ruins what is otherwise an amazingly atmospheric game mode.

You will not see that in a patch, that will be a project. More a wish list type item.

Re: Patch Ideas?

Personally I would to see them quicken the L2 camera delay.

Re: Patch Ideas?

Dynamic difficulty in RTTS does not work, at least for hitters, so a patch that fixes that, or a hot fix, would be great

Re: Patch Ideas?

In addition to what others have said, here are some suggestions in no particular order:

1) Fix opening day Wrigley Field ivy glitch.

2) Base running anomalies at third base (Example: I had a guy running to third dead to rights with a great throw to third which beat the runner by a good four-to five steps. My third baseman reached over and caught the ball, didn't tag the runner, who never slid and just rounded third base and headed for home, running right past my third baseman who had the ball!)

3) Add ability to edit batting helmets for fictional players and edit service time. Please.

4) Add the team total row back to the stat-viewing pages.

5) Add filters to appropriate season statistics. (Some career stats, like Batting Average, already have them)

6) Fix SOTS so it rejects improper mp3 files rather than crashing the game requiring a reinstall.

7) Bring back Ryne Sandberg's proper batting stance (okay, that one is just for me)

8) Add in ability adjust the game time in franchise mode. The schedule doesn't need to change for this, just allow us to override the graphics and play during the day or night if we so choose.

9) Graphics/framerate issues (floating equipment like bats and helmets. Don't know if anybody's seen this, but when a batter at the plate takes off his helmet and rubs his forehead, the helmet just sort of floats or looks like its attached to his forearm. Sometimes bats can be seen floating on check swing replays).

10) On that note, tone down the number of replays, especially on individual pitches.

11) Skin tones for a lot of caucasian players appear too tan.

I know it can't be patched, but a quick final note: the circle graphs, the small font, and the radial graphs have got to go. I find myself having to move closer to the tv to figure out my lineup. And that may be the problem: these things were probably designed by guys who were sitting two or three feet away from a screen. It works on a computer; it fails in a living room.

Re: Patch Ideas?

the framerate is fine, even good in some stadiums, on the dynamic cameras. But I don't like those. I always use the medium cam and it's garbage on those cameras.
