Chalk Degradation

Re: Chalk Degradation

No actually its not. It just depends on the game and what happens around the plate.

Everybody has the right to there opinion of course, so there is that. But I have played about 8 games this weekend and it looks fine to me.

True but it is minimal..less than last year. Just compare with last year. And last year it wasn't right. Not even close to IRL. Is there degradation at Wrigley? There was no degradation last year.

I wish that home plate, the bases and the baseball got a little dirtied up :wink:

Re: Chalk Degradation

From some of the streams it seems like their is a lot less chalk degradation in RTTS and games with quick counts.

Yea, in RttS, you will on see it when either your player is involved in a play at the plate that would cause it or if you are on base and the CPU does something there. There have been times where my RttS player has come up in the 9th inning and the chalk around home plate looks brand new.

Re: Chalk Degradation

I played two full games last night and there was very little if any chalk degradation around home plate.

I played 3 full games, one in Suntrust and two in Dodger Stadium and there was very noticeable chalk degradation. Also degradation at 1st and 2nd base from all the sliding.

Re: Chalk Degradation

I've played 6 full (no quick count) games thus far in Tampa and in St. Louis. There has been little to no chalk degredation in each game. I've also watched many games on streams. The only degradation you see is the dirt, which is much better this year. But in terms of the chalk, they took a step backwards this year. Last year was much better. It is true when a runner slides into home plate for instance you can see chalk degradation. But only at that time. I posted a couple videos in another thread showing that IRL chalk degradation is significant usually within the first couple innings of the game. We don't see this even late in games. Perhaps someone can post a pic of actual chalk degradation in the game that you think is significant?

Re: Chalk Degradation

You will only see chalk degradation if the player slides into a base. In years past you would see a gradual degradation around the batters box and base lines throughout the game. Hope this gets fixed

Re: Chalk Degradation

Why would they take change something like this? One of the little things that is nice to see.

Sure it happens when players slide, but what happened to all the foot prints in the dirt? What about the chalk lines disappearing when stepped on.

When I posted that, I had only played 3 or 4 games and from what I saw, I didn't notice chalk degradation or lack thereof being an issue. After many more games, its obvious that its an issue and can hopefully be patched somehow.

Re: Chalk Degradation

They were able to fix it before so hope they're doing it again.

Re: Chalk Degradation

They really should make chalk degradation for all games like it is for rainy games
