Update 1.12?

Re: Update 1.12?

I sure hope that they don't change passed balls next year. Not being able to put just anyone at catcher is the best improvement from 16 to 17 imo.

Use a good catcher and you shouldn't have a problem with passed balls unless you are constantly throwing curveballs in the dirt.

Pitchers irl don't usually throw curveballs or forkballs in the dirt with men on base.

The adds are in my carry over. I'm fine with it. It's not overly obnoxious and I know that adding an add to a Jumbotron is a much easier patch than many other potential fixes. We're talking 5 minutes of coding and 10 minutes of testing here. I'm not saying I like it (I don't) just saying I can deal.

Re: Update 1.12?

To see both of sides of it, I can kind of understand why some are bent about it. If they feel that they have not fixed this years game and are not happy about it to see in game adds for the next game can make you feel really tossed aside or like " hey you spent $60 (minimum) on our game, sorry we never got things fixed but here is an add for your next $60."

I was a little irritated by it when I first heard as well. I did not want to be in say year 2020 of a carry over franchise seeing adds for The Show 18 on the Jumbo tron. But as far as I can tell it is only in Exhibition games. While I still thinks it stinks of money grab, just like the rest of the marketing plan, and every other game company these days. I guess I really don't see a big issue with it, if it stays in Exhibition games only.

It happens in Franchsie mode as well. I was playing in Miami and during the pregame I noticed Judge on the big screen at the stadium. I was wtf? Then as I kept watching it I realized it was a ad for the show 18 "The future is coming". Personally it doesn't bother me at all. What I don't like is seeing is "The Show" all over the stadiums in general. I have never liked that. I prefer fake advertisements (Lobster Cola lol) over seeing "The Show" everywhere. Just a personal preference.

Everyone is speaking of update 1.12, but I started up my PS4 it was an Update 1.13...

You probably have MLB '19 ads in your game..

Re: Update 1.12?

To be clear, my post wasn't a complaint at all. Nor do I have a problem with it. Baseball (and stadiums), in general is a very advertisement-heavy sport. I looked at it as more of expanded possibilities in the future, in regards to stadium ads/vids/animations. This isn't the first time they've done this either (Ax Men and Subway ads in MLB 11).

Also, I have never personally had an issue with bunts or passed balls. I just completed a year in my carryover franchise, playing every game (well 66% with Quick Manage feature), and I never felt that they were unrealistic.

Re: Update 1.12?

I don't see how its a money grab. You know they are going to be releasing MLB '18, it's not a secret or anything. I mean, let's be real here, its just an ad.

As for the comment that, "we didn't fix things on the $60 spent so here's an ad to get your next $60", is really stretching to complain in my honest opinion. Every installment of the game has/had something "broken" or omitted that we wanted to see fixed in the next installment of the series. And its going to be the same thing in '18, in '19, etc....etc....

I mean you could carry that complaint over to when they start releasing information for '18. You could say, oh they fixed _________, well why didn't they fix it in '17? Because they want my $60 that's why. You could carry this complaint over to anything new that's added to '18 or fixed in '18.

It's just an ad. You're not forced to spend any money, just view an ad. I'm really surprised, though I guess I shouldn't be these days, that someone would get bent out of shape over an ad for next year's game in the current installment.

I pretty much agreed with everything in your post, save for the last bit. I mean, do you have to be snarky towards people in every post you make? @Bullit feels one way. You feel another. He's entitled, as are you. Give it a rest already.

Put me on ignore if my posts bother you so much.

I agree..in some ways it makes the game more aesthetically pleasing and re"freshing"
