    Pitcher Morale Issue due to being listed as Bullpen???

    I was wondering if anyone else was seeing wonky things when it comes to starting pitchers and their morale due to starting pitchers being shown as bullpen role?

    I am in May and the only thing I did was move some starters due to an injury and an off day and all the sudden all my starters, even those not moved, have the role of bullpen listed instead of ACE for Wainwright and ROTATION for the others.

    Its causing an unnecessary drop in morale.

    Anyone else having this happen? Trying to determine what triggered it.
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

    I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

    I'm playing an 81 game season and have seen no evidence of this feature. I have played 14 games.

    Is it too early? Is this only for franchise? Or am I not going to the right screens to see the morale info?

    Thanks.

      Morale is found on the player card. Scroll through the various tabs and you'll find it.

      Not sure if its in SEASON mode or if its FRANCHISE mode exclusive.

        Lol this is ridiculous.


        This Game is SO Good but I have to say the game is more buggy than iteration of this series I have ever seen.


        I hope they left enough developers to work on patches for 16, because this is a disaster.


        Love the new features and everything, but I am seriously starting to feel like MLB 17 needs to be just MLB 16 but with Bug Fixes.


        Coming from a dedicated Baseball Fan, I'm really disappointed with the lack of transparency from THE SHOW Team to at least let us know that they plan on fixing some of these issues.

          Wow...I don't know...I'll have to keep an eye out on this. Maybe move some guys around just to test it. These roles do change because somewhere Chris Taylor and his .220 hitting self got the Star role to match his morale expectation of "Star" - I don't know what I did...

          Too bad it's not helping him hit at all, but I digress.

            Copy/Paste from Q&A thread...

            Hate to say it but I'm seeing this too now. All of the starters (hitters and pitchers) with high role expectations are unhappy/angry because they're listed as bench/bullpen. Additionally I don't see anyone higher than "satisfied" - even bench/bullpen guys with more green faces than red aren't above their normal OVR.

            And this doesn't seem to resolve with a season flip, like the other problem similar to this did.

            I'm guessing a recent patch did this and nobody noticed until now. I don't think a server update (there have been 2 in the last week or so) can wreak this much havoc on offline franchises.

            This is a serious problem. The only thing that makes it still playable is that it affects the entire league - but it lessens the gap between superstars and everyday players.

              It's both.

                Another C/P ....possible temp fix:

                Maybe there's something to that server update theory after all....I tried disconnecting through the network menu, started up The Show, started a new season mode game (problem existed there too), and expectations (and morale in general) are back to normal. Loaded my franchise on April 8th...also back to normal.

                I also have players that are back to being above their normal OVR when morale is high.

                Try it and post results.

                  If it turns out to be server related, I just gotta say, I am so sick and tired of online affecting the offline experience negatively. It's not just The Show either (assuming that it IS the server changes). It's becoming a problem in every game...

                      I haven't seen this at all yet, thankfully. I have starters who expect to be "Ace" and are miffed at being "rotation", but everyone who's in the rotation is listed as being such.
                      Anyone who claims to be a fan of two teams in the same pro sport is actually a fan of none.

                        If it's like Stolm in the Q/A thread, it might resolve without you having to do anything at all. Might be a coincidence that I disconnected/reconnected at the same time things were going back to normal.

                        Just seemed like a natural troubleshooting step because I knew there had been a server update recently, and there weren't any complaints about morale in quite some time.

                          I'm going to be mildly surprised if Morale doesn't have an on/off option & maybe even a slider for 17.

                            Its weird because I started a test franchise and I wasn't getting the bullpen status issue.
