Not crazy about the sideboard that pops up before every pitch. (Not sure if that is the manager UI you are talking about). I did have one freeze and the bullpen screen that was discussed took care of that. Maybe I have to get used to it but seeing a quarter of the screen filled up with info did not do it for me yesterday.

I will say this though. Playing the game on default sliders (I did change the injury to 10 to see if they fixed the in-game injuries issue that popped up in 18) I thought the game played great. Manager hook might need to be tweaked some since Dylan Bundy got pulled at about 80 pitches in 4 and 2/3 innings. Overall though for a first game I though it was great.

I don't have the game yet - been to busy rehabbing a house but that should be finished soon.

I'm curious what sideboard you are talking about. In 18 you can reduce the time between pitches by putting the game on fast play and setting the countdown clock to zero. Does that get rid of the sideboard - and does the sideboard go away on its own or do you have to click a button prior to every pitch?

The reason I'm curious about the sideboard is because at one time manage mode had an automatic countdown which you could only get rid of by pressing a button which required pressing a button before every pitch - very annoying. The finally fixed it with an option to turn the countdown to zero. I'm wondering if that made its way back into the game somehow.

shoot! i have no idea how to put videos or pictures on the forums. it happened in spring training games especially when i played the cubs and darvish was pitching like every 2 or 3 pitches. havent tried the mode in season yet just running test games. first couple games didnt happen at all. then when walker pitched it happened a few times.

You could probably grab a small video and upload to youtube through the PS4? Or maybe PM me here and attach it? We are trying to reproduce the issue now and have a few more questions:

Are you highlighting and selecting the PLAY BALL option with "X", or are you pressing CIRCLE to leave and Play Ball?

Is the manager menu staying up on screen until you go back into pitcher actions and choose Bullpen? Or does the menu go away and then you need to PAUSE and go to bullpen?

Is the manager menu staying up on screen until you go back into pitcher actions and choose Bullpen? You cannot simply select PLAY BALL again, or press CIRCLE?

We have not been able to reproduce any issues with the menus yet.

Cant wait to dive into my Mange series. Thinking this year of using a whole new team. Cant wait to see how it plays.

I trust your review because I know you are a long time manage mode user. Bump this thread or start a new one and let me know what you think.

We will definitely look into this freezing issue after selecting Play Ball. You’re saying it only occurs with Quick Counts on? Could anyone grab a video of it for me?

Also, I don’t have anything to do with the gameplay in manager mode (or any other mode) so if there are issues with it, please email us or send us a bug report on theshownation.

If you happen to bump into a gameplay dev there was a minor bug in mlbts 18 manage mode - if the AI defense expected a bunt the user controlled batter would not swing away. He would just stand there taking pitches if the user didn't order him to bunt.

I don't own 19 yet and I did submit a bug report but this mode has a history of having problems which don't get fixed.

Does difficulty setting matter in MoM?

No - a gameplay dev named Brian posted that information a few years ago on this forum. In manage mode difficulty doesn't matter.

Re: Question for manage mode users

So it looks to me like if you just use the buttons the way you have in the past and basically ignore the menu there is no freezing issue. That is the way I played it the last two days and I have seen no issues.

Re: Question for manage mode users

Is their any possible way to shrink the size of the menu between each pitch? It takes up half the entire screen. Kill immersion for me. I like as less menus as possible and this is just huge

I don't own 19 but have you tried putting the game on fast play and setting countdown clock to zero?
