Re: MLB 13 The Show Title Update 1.18 Available Now, Details Included

Here are David Ortiz's stats after one season:

Contact vs Left: 70 -> 54
Contact vs Right: 84 -> 69
Pwr vs Left: 66 -> 51
Pwr vs Right: 92 -> 77
Clutch: 85 -> 70
Vision: 70 -> 55
Disc: 84 -> 69
Dur: 77 -> 62
Overall: 91 ->72

Is this intended?

Edit: By the way, I like the idea, that a 37 years old player should regress 15 points because he eventually has to retire at some point. However I don't like the idea of regressing this much during the season, because Older players like Big Papi would become useless by the 2013 postseason. It would be better if they got worse maybe 5-8 point during the season then another 5-8 point after the end of the season.

This way you can start a season with a 91 overall superstar and end up with a with a 72 overall wreck by the playoffs...

Unfortunately...no...the CPU is still not adjusting it's defense.
This one REALLY hurts as Manage only Mode is all about tactics and not having this work removes a great percentage of the strategy.

Has there been any official announcement as to whether this is the final and last patch for this year's release?

Re: MLB 13 The Show Title Update 1.18 Available Now, Details Included

I'd say this is more realistic

Contact vs Left: 70 -> 60
Contact vs Right: 84 -> 75
Pwr vs Left: 66 -> 55
Pwr vs Right: 92 -> 80
Vision: 70 -> 65
Disc: 84 -> 75
Dur: 77 -> 65

Realistically, I only added 3-4 points to his overall score..but that could be the difference between him being in AAA or the majors in the second season of your franchise.

If guys like Giambi can stick around just for their power hitting prowess, I think Papi should be in uniform at least 2 more seasons, even if it isn't as an everyday guy. he should be able to hit 15 homers off the bench and bat .260

There wasn't even an "official" announcement that this one was coming, so I doubt we'll hear anything confirming that there won't be any more patches.

Could you sim the next year and post his stats?

I.e. avg. Hr. Rbi.

I believe in one year they did explicitly state that a patch was final... it was MLB 11 I think... (remember this since I was disappointed because was hoping something would be fixed... wild, wild pitches iirc...).

I don't know, with quite a few glitches squashed already, I feel my sense of purpose for existing as a tester has sadly vanished.... Just kidding.

Hoping there will be another one that fixes the remaining "major" issues though.

Ok so patch downloaded with no problems. I figured I'd on to the sample size by simulating a season in franchise mode. I picked the Yanks since they have a bunch of old players. I also kept track of a couple of other good older players from the league. I will also post up league leader in K and a few other stats to see if the wild season stats I've been reading about have been toned down.

I am not the biggest geek on baseball numbers, so I'll just post them up and let you guys discuss to see if anything seems better after the patch (at least on this 1 franchise sim test)

I just skipped and chose to End ST, since I don't usually play it at all. No stats dropped in the handful of players I'm watching. Now here's the list. The first line is what they started with and the 2nd line is what they ended the season with, as far as attributes are concerned. I only chose a handful of attributes to really watch. Sorry that the info is kind of messy, but I did this real quick to see if I saw any difference in regression.

Regression fixed? Obviously not. Dempster is the only one who took the least hit, and that's because he's right at the 35 year old mark. If he were 36, he probably would've have declined 10 more points OVR. It makes some of these guys unusable, even after good or decent seasons. They suffer a loss at fielding and arm str and acc, lose a lot of speed, and lose a lot of their bat. Pettitte even had a really good year and still ended up regressing so much that he had to come out of the pen.

League Leaders:
AL AVG (Top 12 are at .298 or higher)
Miggy .333 (Also lead
Konerko .313
Mauer .313

NL AVG (Top 12 are .290 or higher)
Goldschmidt .313
Scutaro .307
Ruggiano .305

AL HR
Miggy 43

Napoli 40

Looking at these stats and comparing to some that were post pre-patch, it seems that things have been balanced out better. I see better ERA and SO numbers here. Also the Offensive numbers seem to be better balanced. Of course, this is just 1 test sample.
Regression system still sucks though.

[js3512]

Their overall rating drops six points by the All-Star break. These hall of fame type players that fall off dramatically. If you over 35 you would drop dramatically. The drops are not random they all seem like they all happen at the same time it doesn't matter the who's the player. Regression is extremely flawed. I wish they had regression system like Pro evolution soccer.

Only thing that should drop dramatically is speed, durability and power.

Says who? Look up the stats, 35 is like a brick wall for many, many players and it's not just speed, durability and power they're losing.

4. Toronto Stadium - There was a large section of seating that appeared grey instead of blue (behind 1st or 3rd base). This was reported with a frequency of 100%. The art files have been changed to reflect the proper seat colors.

Twitter feeds fix
- Twitter feeds should now show up with today's Tweets # New telemetry TSD file

Sure, you called it "Toronto Stadium"(it's Rogers Centre...), but I'll take it, cause great to see that this has finally been fixed, after being incorrect for 2 years!

And nice that twitter feeds working too!


So 2 of the 3 things I really wanted to be fixed did get fixed, so that's great! Surprised nothing about sound stuttering was mentioned in the OP, guess that'll happen in next update since this update for the most part was about bigger issues(like online and pitch delay)

[jeremym480]

I was thinking about adjusting the older players up a little after they regress, but after seeing Farmer Joe's post I may just leave it alone. I mean if the regressing player is still contributing then I don't really care what they are rated.

I would be interested in seeing how the do the next season before making any final decisions though.

Will the sim-rebalancing take effect in my current, non-patched Franchise? Or will I need to start things over?

[jmik58]

Re: MLB 13 The Show Title Update 1.18 Available Now, Details Included

Is it possible that the reason for the drastic drop in regression for players over 36 is because they're currently rated too high in the game since they came that way with the stock rosters?

Under this system, rarely (if ever?) will a player be in the 90's like Ichiro or A-Rod, etc. at their current age. It seems to me that as you get farther into a franchise that the regression won't seem like such a jolt.
