    I've tried both average and perfect strike zone. If you are using perfect you might try changing to average for more offense. On default sliders I saw more offense with average but I prefer the small ball style with close games so I use perfect.

    I haven't done a detailed statistical study but that is my observation.

      Re: Manage only thread

      Just wondering if the dynamic difficulty setting has any bearing on manage mode seemingly starting off the season with pretty good offensive numbers, but gradually devolving into no offense at all. And if that setting would matter, how should it be adjusted?

        Had the game crash yesterday when I pinch hit for the pitcher intending to do a double switch after the inning.

        I would stop playing the game until it's patched except for the fact I don't think the developers are going to take the time to patch it. If this was happening in diamond dynasty it would have been fixed in the first patch.

        By far the most frustrating thing since I started playing this game many years ago.

          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 :(

            If true that's good news. This happened to me yesterday.

              First inning pinch hit for my SS with a catcher, pinch hit for my CF with a pitcher. Next half inning catcher was at SS, pitcher in CF. Game didn’t crash.

                What platform?

                I'm on ps5. It doesn't crash the same way but it's even worse than before. I pinch hit for the pitcher. When the next inning starts instead of the message "position player on mound" you see the position player on the mound throwing a pitch. Pause the game. Go to the bullpen. You can't get out of the bullpen.

                You are literally stuck in the bullpen.

                  Just tested it. Pinch hit Difo for pitcher. He was on the mound. Was only able to take him out after he pitched to 3 batters. Good grief.

                    I submitted a bug report. The more the merrier to get the attention of the developers.

                    They actually made it worse because there is no workaround other than to not pinch hit.

                      I reported it too. I wonder what would happen if you simmed the half inning where you knew you were going to yank your pitcher. I’ll try to test it.

                        I’m going to try this.

                        Let’s say my pitcher is first up.

                        I pinch hit for an out. Next batter singles. Next batter walks. Pop up, now there are TWO outs. I sim the rest of that half inning. After the 3rd out I wonder if the AI will put in a pitcher? Worth a try, work around til it gets fixed. I’ll test that in a bit.

                          Okay. Above is a temporary workaround. Don’t let the game advance to the next inning with your pitcher being the last out. Let’s say you have 2 runners on, 2 outs, pinch hit for the pitcher. Sim that at bat. If it’s the last out in the inning the AI will bring in a pitcher to start the next inning.

                          If the pinch hitter gets a hit, sim the rest until the 3r out and a pitcher will come in.

                            Why can't they just look at the previous year code and copy it? They have gotten lazy or are overwhelmed. It took until July and then they still botched it.

                              I’m just offering a temporary workaround.

                              I’m not sure if copying and pasting is a viable solution. This game is chock full of code and I have no idea if changing X corrupts/disrupts/changes Y or Z.

                                I appreciate the workaround. Just frustrated at the backward steps they have taken in this mode.
