MLB The Show 20: Game Update 1.05 Notes and Breakdown

[tabarnes19_SDS]

Re: Update 1.05

My issue is that the trade logic is not bad this year. The default roster is the issue. If you take a community roster and test the trades don't occur like this.

It took me about 4 days to find the cause and fix it. It took me 5 minutes with the game to see the issue.

Ultimately the roster should have been tested before releasing.

Re: Update 1.05

Can someone confirm if the hitting changes are for online only, or do these impact Franchise and Exhibition games as well?

It says "multiplayer", which leads me to believe this is for online only....but they usually use the terminology "Online" or "Diamond Dynasty"...

Does this effect Franchise or Exhibition when its Human vs CPU?
Will CPUs throw less meatballs?

Re: Update 1.05

I'll keep checking out the forums, but I will not play with the blue ring displayed for auto fielding.

Everyone's going to have differing opinions on this (see the 1.04 thread), but I don't feel like any of that will affect offline play. I actually thought a DD Extended Play (VS. CPU) game I played felt different at first, but after thinking about it some and playing a while longer I'm willing to chalk that up to confirmation bias. I didn't realize the notes were only talking about multiplayer at first - I thought it was referring to all of Diamond Dynasty.

This game will mess with your head sometimes.

The confirmation is what's stated in the notes, to answer your main question.

No they are for online H2H only, though I fully expect to see the usual suspects to come into this thread claiming that they do impact offline based on like 2 innings of a game.

so is there anyway to edit the roster before starting franchise that will prevent all the silly trades in april-may? is it as simple as just making sure each team has a minimum number of players at each position?

Is the trading issue fixed in subsequent seasons with a fixed roster? Rosters can be balanced, but eventually they're going to become unbalanced again over the course of a franchise.

Hopefully it's like bcruise said where there's some sort of weird April 2020 glitch you have to get past with a better roster.

I haven't done any testing. I just saw it in my now deleted franchise. The Royals traded Bobby Witt Jr. - the No. 3 prospect on the top prospects list - for a 24-year-old D-potential outfielder. And the OF was rated lower than Witt. It made zero sense. And there were other similar trades. And that was just the first day I saw trades.

Team rosters need to have proper positional balancing before firing-up franchise (they will stay balanced afterwards); if they don't, then wonky stuff will happen as they attempt to fill those positions. It's the same reason why rosters should not be created with no closers assigned, it disrupts the CPU logic (i.e. they will prioritize closers in the draft as they see it as a "need" position).

Garbage in, garbage out....

Re: Update 1.05

I have filed a bug report in regards to the fielding ring and pitch speed. Let’s hope for the best.

What’s up with pitch speed?

Re: Update 1.05

Uggh. They didn't fix the players disappearing in my roster. I've spent a week plus creating this roster and guys are disappearing. They appear on the player search, but not an the actual roster. Come on.

Pretty sure he means the MPH display not showing up in the scorebug with swing/pitch info off. Not like a gameplay-related pitch speed issue.

Re: Update 1.05

Yes logic is fine after they balance roster in April. In subsequent years it's fine.

Try my latest personal roster in the vault

I adjusted positions and added a few missing players. Most of the reason is they dont have positions filled. The cpu logic sees holes in mlb and aaa roster and NEEDs to fill them.

If you start new with my roster or ridin won't have the issue.

If you edit positions to make sure each position has a minimum of 1 more at it and 1 person at aaa in that position you are fine.

So

Rf should look like:

3/4
1aaa

If you go through default there is positions with 0 players at the position in mlb roster and not enough players at position in general.

Yankees don't even have torres listed as a ss.

Re: Update 1.05

I was dreading loading up my RTTS SP just now after hearing about the fielding blue ring, but fortunately it doesn't appear in RTTS, which is a relief, clearly though this is something that needs fixing as a priority as I can see how this would be incredibly immersion breaking.

I also was initially relieved that the white dot after each pitch has disappeared, only to scratch my head when I realised the pitch speed and type doesn't now appear on the score bug, which is mentioned earlier in this thread. And yet it does appear when pitch info is turned on.
This also needs fixing as a priority.

As Armor mentioned earlier, right now we need The Show for escapism, and it's incredibly annoying when things like this happen, again I understand how things aren't normal right now, but jeez, these things shouldn't be happening.
