There is some improvements with this but it is not flawless. There are some head scratching moments at times.

Can you expand on this a little more, or will you be doing an overall write-up? I'm sure it must be tough to get close to realistic, but hopefully the improvement is noticeable in franchise.

Have you tried the new baserunning feature of holding down L2 and letting go once you want the baserunner to steal?

If so, do you like this option?

I believe that it's because there are multiple factors that will trigger a pitching change and who it decides to use.
Fatigue/handedness/score(in relation to RP OVR)/men on base/etc and recent success vs LBH/RHB(regardless of the pitcher's handedness) all factor in and in some cases it still goes to a right vs. left and left vs. right if one of the factors is more dominant.
I still saw a RH pinch hitter come in and the CPU went with a LHP as the pitching change.
It's more likely to see a L/L or R/R matchup than in the past...but not "the rule".

New items:

Follow through: one or two handed

Walkup:

practice swing:

Stride

Take pitch

Take pitch strike

These choices are all active and you can see all the choices in action to see what they look like.

This is awesome, but:

AH!! I was hoping there were going to be custom home-run trots.

I'm hoping it just happens more and isn't a set rule to be honest. The reason I say this is because if its the 6th inning or so, I don't want the cpu burning up his bullpen just for matchups. I also want/hope the cpu will understand inning, score, and where the lineup is.

No homerun trot, but homerun swing is customizable as well. I think Knight missed that on his list.

Definitely NOT a set rule.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hey if it happens at all I'll be happy. One of my pet peeves with the series has been the cpu not matching up in late game situations.

Yeah those speed differentials need to be fixed. Hate facing guys with 94-mph. fastballs and a 75-mph. change-up. Most pitchers have an 8-12 mph. differential; Pedro Martinez was a guy that had a 16-18 mph. difference, but he was an exception.

From everything I've seen they are fixed.

Lorne and I discussed this quite a bit a couple of days ago. He told me that the new pitch FX data should have corrected the FB/CH differentials but to let him know if any specific players needed adjustments.

Over the next two days, the highest I saw was 12 mph between FB and change. It's one of my favorite fixes so far. I think everyone will be very pleased. This one irked me last year and right now I'm completely satisfied.

This is fantastic and should be up there with the top gameplay improvments

I talked to Nomo extensively about this and by far this is the one thing I'm excited about the most. There will still be a few quirks (obviously the f/x algorithm isn't perfect) so I'm still planning on doing pitch edits for OSFM, but this should reduce the workload considerably.

One more thing H&V - since we can't post in the invitees thread, what is the Mike Trout thing Ramone posted about?

I believe when they were simming at the event he was taking a major dump in overall rating pretty quickly.

Wait, what? That's the last time I go swimming in SCEA SD's pool!
