Does anyone think the stat overlays will be fixed?

Re: Does anyone think the stat overlays will be fixed?

This actually doesn't bother me because that's how TV broadcasts did it when I was a kid. I thought you were gonna be talking about how the on the secondary line (where it shows current series stats) a lot of a time it's all blanks, like it literally says "AVG - HR - RBI - OBP -" below their stat line instead of ... whatever it's supposed to say. Obnoxious bug.

I agree. I almost never see updated season stats on the overlays in the middle of a game. Usually just see that day's performance, as you do in The Show.

I'd never seen or heard of that "first career HR" glitch, but I play as the Cubs and play every game, so maybe I got out of it because of that.

I know he said Cubs/Cards but I think that was a typo (or might have been the first game last year). The first game this year was Pirates/Cardinals.

I thought he may have been referring to the 2015 season. Either way, I'm grateful to have not had it pop up, ever, as far as I can recall. Several times so far this season I've had the game correctly point out that a player is at or around 100 career HRs.

Not sure if this is what you mean but there is a bug report you can sign if you haven't already.

I didn't start it but i added some screen shots a few weeks ago.

Re: Does anyone think the stat overlays will be fixed?

What do you guy's think? In the next regular patch will they fix the stat overlays? I have noted a few times on here that I really hope they show updated stats trough out the game instead of just the first at bat. Do we think this will get fixed or changed? Man I really hope so. I also hope they show more rankings during the game I rarely see the top 10 rankings anymore.

I doubt it. This isn't a bug, but a design decision that is turning out to be pretty unpopular. They'll likely change it for '17 (Brian_SCEA got an earful of this in his feedback thread...pretty unanimously in favor of always showing stat overlays), but they mentioned purposely not showing stats for every AB out of variety and to speed the games along. I believe they talked about it a bit in a Twitch stream at some point.

That's really disappointing if it was removed intentionally, it has always shown the players season stats during walk ups since i have been playing the show.
And how exactly does it speed the game up when they are showing a OSD of the current game's ab results anyway.
Also why have a OSD template with AVG/HR/RBI that doesn't show any of those stats or need to show those stats during a 1st AB since they are being shown on the main part of the OSD, it just looks wrong/tacky/out of place.

In one of the streams they talked about how they now have access to all the information that is stored in the frontend menus to use during games to give us more stats and information about what is going on in and around the league in our franchise. What is the point of this if all they want to do is remove stat presentations ect. and for all of us to play with fast mode presentation. Was really excited about this when i heard it in the stream, guess it was just all talk.

I hated how in 15 they changed it so not every batter got a stat OSD during a walk up and now it seems another pointless change to something that was working fine. Guess they they got a lot of data feedback about people not reading them.

Just to be clear this isn't aimed at you WaitTilNextYear

Re: Does anyone think the stat overlays will be fixed?

So each day, I pick the first game on the schedule and enter it as if I were going to play it, then fast forward to the end and exit. Then choose my game and play it, and then it should be gone?

No, you'll have to restart your franchise and it's gotta be the first game of the 2016 season.

What is that bug with the first career HR stuff???

TO me that is a HUGE bug. This happens to everyone??

Can you explain the work around better as well, please?

Last year you had to start the Cubs/Cardinals game as if you were going to play it. Sim to end and go on with your season. This year I assume it's the same. Start the first game of the 2016 season and sim to the end.

If you have already started your franchise and seeing this glitch you will have to restart your franchise unfortunately. Or deal with that throughout your franchise.

Thanks for explaining. Such a random workaround for a bug, but easy to do I suppose.

Interesting. I did not play very first game of the 2016 season but I have not had this HR glitch in franchise. First game I played was as the Cubs.

Re: Does anyone think the stat overlays will be fixed?

This is probably the only thing this design team does that irritates me. Instead of just adding things and keeping things that we liked they take out random things we liked and not adding anything(in the presentation part anyways) like I miss the custscenes in I believe 12 or 13 where they showed the bullpen when relievers were warming up. I mean why did they ever take that out! I loved it! It felt so realistic! Oh well. Maybe they will reconsider and put it the season stats on the overlays back in. Here's hoping.

Re: Does anyone think the stat overlays will be fixed?

This is my first year playing the game. What kind of overlays can I expect? What have people seen so far? Are there top ten team or player leader overlays? I'm ten games into franchise and I have seen pitch count and standings overlays and that's basically it.

Re: Does anyone think the stat overlays will be fixed?

I hope they change the stat lines to how it was in previous years. I'd much prefer to see the updated season stats, thank just see the single game 1 for 3 etc.

I also would really like to see the player stats to be viewable from the player cards, like they were last year. It was so much more intuitive to be able to press triangle on a player in your lineup or inventory and see how they have performed for you. It was a clean screen, unlike the current method where the stats are all together in one spot. It's a pain to look at pitching stats because you have to scroll past all the batting stats which come first. Please put the stats back on the player cards!

Re: Does anyone think the stat overlays will be fixed?

the one that annoys me alot is the gold glove overlay on the defensive position screen. keeps showing the wrong person who won the gold glove in 2015

Re: Does anyone think the stat overlays will be fixed?

It seems to work in the playoffs. Shows the regular season stats below.

Re: Does anyone think the stat overlays will be fixed?

Maybe I am misreading the topic, but I always get a stat overlay at the walkup or if the first pitch is not put into play then it shows between pitch 1 and pitch 2.

As for the HR bug, I remember that from last year, but I didn't encounter it this year despite not playing the first game of the season.
