Were any improvements made to manager mode?

Like what? Played my first MOM and it was great.

Re: MoM improvements?

I've only played a few games but I haven't noticed any major changes thus far.

Same bugs like 3-2 count, 2 out, runner in a force play situation doesn't automatically run like he would IRL.

Pitcher won't swing the bat if the CPU expects a sacrifice bunt.

Still a great mode to play.

In this situation I just have him steal.

I have only played one game so far but it looks and feels great with the default sliders.

Re: MoM improvements?

All I want from MoM is a press box camera, or something like upper-deck-behind-home-plate. For the life of me I can't understand why this isn't a thing.

No changes that I can tell. Im about 20 games in and it seems all the same. The gameplay is great at default. Its a fun mode to play. Just dont expect any mind blowing changes though. Its still fun. Thing you have to remember is, this game is set up for baseball 15 years ago, and not todays baseball. The way they use pitchers, set lineups, run strategy, etc. Which is both good and bad.

All in all, I still enjoy the mode and I think it plays well for what it is. If you play it looking for IRL stats, its not going to happen. See my signature.

On the 3-2 2O thing, I just L2 square and make them run.

Once the game starts, pause, settings, gameplay, it takes you to 2,4,6 seconds, then camera view, and you can use pressbox I believe is an option. I use dugout. I like that at the game feeling.

Holy cow. Thank you! I had no idea that was there.


Is that new for this year, or has it always been there? I didn't even think to look under Gameplay. I just went to Cameras.



However, I do wish the camera stayed in that position when the ball is put in play, rather than shifting to one of the fielding cameras.



Still, it's better than nothing.



Thanks again.

Its always been in there Glad I could help.

I like using the dugout camera. I tried broadcast and it was to much like watching tv lol. It was hard to see fielding as well pre pitch. The dugout however does not pan to fielding. It will follow the ball/play, but it is all from the dugout which I love.

That's what I do but it should be automatic and it used to be automatic.

It's curious to me how these bugs that didn't previously exist appear from time to time in the game. The pitcher refusing to swing is more of an issue because there are situations when it makes no sense for him to bunt but that's what the game expects so he won't swing away. If you don't tell him to bunt he will just stand there taking pitches.

I've seen no changes in the few games I've played.

I prefer to manage from the press box view. Better food and beverages in the press box :-).
