What do you mean?

If you play RTTS, then it will count all those games, as well as the wins and losses from your AA/AAA (in Franchise and RTTS). Not just the team you are controlling.

It also counts games you sim. Just for fun I simmed a franchise 20 years, and I noticed later my profile had like 30K hits or something outlandish.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I believe all exhibitions games you've played are included as well.

Yes, and MOM and Online... I was just letting him know the number is larger cause the farm system teams you are not directly playing, count.

And I assume it will be WAAAAAY larger come 30 team control

Yeah, would be nice to either not include these, or have a separate section that shows the direct ones you played, that way we can properly gauge out BA and ERA as well as other stats.

Just wanted to thank the CD guys for all the hard work. I am a Police Officer and I respect you guys so much that I just pulled over a guy for speeding and couldn't get myself to write him a ticket because his last name was KNIGHT.

Awesome!

Have they done anything with the fatigue model for pitchers? Relievers should tire faster but bounce back quicker than they have in the past imo.

Great question... I'd like to know how/if the pitching fatigue model has been tweaked at all?

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Did they speed up the batter swing animation this year? In real life, I think it is easier to pull the ball than it is to hit it the other way. In The Show, it is tough to pull a fastball, even if you know it's coming.

However, I did find I could pull the ball easier when not playing RTTS. Does anyone else even see this as a problem?

That's pretty cool. Any chance the fountains go off at Comerica after a dinger?

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Yes...and you get league leaders on the ticker that runs under the linescore during the game also.

WOW, I've been bitching about this for the past few years. I'm ecstatic that this made it in.

Freaking awesome.

If you have a lefty on the mound and pick the deceptive move, they won't be stealing for very long!

What is the risk/reward factor for the new pickoff system? If there is no downside to the deceptive move, Id assume youd use that everytime.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Strikes were much harder to throw this year. There were times when you hit the green on the meter and you would still miss your spot.

This was on default. I'm sure with the in-game sliders you can make it even more wild, but we didn't try. I had no issue giving up walks against my will (not to mention a few bombs ).

Gee I hope so , Love this game, but I'm tired of pitching with -10 on control and consistency, classic pitching and still getting 1-ish walks per game.

It takes away from the fun in my franchise cause I often am "aware" of the walks issue instead of getting into the drama of the game.

It is not money every time. It depends on the runner at first base and what his attributes are. The system still determines the outcome like other years. The camera just switches very late giving you the illusion that he is going to throw a pitch and not to first base.

I wanted to see the deceptive move tied to the pitching meter where the perfect release point would yield the best result and anything above it or below it would be an off throw. Maybe that is something that could get worked in next year.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I played a couple games today and a couple of odd occurrences happened that I wonder if these have been addressed.

No RBI on a walk-off hit.

Playing today with the Aeros and Carlos Santana hits a liner up the middle which the ball bounces what looks like off of the pitchers leg back to the catcher and throws me out by a mile. After reviewing the replay the ball morphs through the pitchers leg and off of the rubber and catapults back to the catcher.

This happened to me twice both in RBI situations! A million games played and I have never seen this happen until today, twice!

Anyone, anyone?
