Looks like I'll have to restart my white sox franchise
I'm in the first season, first week of August, but the stats are really horrible up to this point. It sucks because it's the first time in forever that I've actually been into my franchise lol. Maybe I'll pick another team. Its very good to see that the season stats were fixed, or at least more balanced now! Very excited.

I've done a new sim, and this time Ortiz only regressed like this:

1st season:
Overall: 92 -> 75
Stats: 511 AB, 154 Hit, 29 HR, 92 RBI, .301 avg

2nd season:
Overall: 75 -> 63
Stats: 481 AB, 132 Hit, 20 HR, 62 RBI, .274 avg

Edit: a few more intesting things:
In the second season Dempster is 36 years old, and is still 78 overall. He does not seem to regress that fast.

This looks fine to me.

The key is their numbers and Ortiz's look pretty realistic year 2. People need to get past the overalls and look at the stats

Exactly. Forget about the numerical ratings and just look at production! That's all that really matters in the end.

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.

Unbelievable, they fix the L's in the lineup screen but not this.

I don't understand this at all. I guess I'll just have to learn to play the game instead of managing it this year. This is a mode killer.

I would love to agree with you guys but the overall rating plays a huge factor in AI logic so while it might be fine for the HUM user to look strictly at production, the CPU won't.

You Sony guys dont know how good you have it..This is how you take care of a customer and reason I will be buying a PS4 in lieu of a xbox next year.

Can some others confirm that we don't have to restart our franchise for the stats to be balanced? I believe I saw one person say so, but just wanted to make sure.
I figured I'd stick with the franchise I have going now if the stats will balance themselves out for the remainder of the season. Already invested too much time into this chise and don't want to start over if I don't have to.

I'd appreciate it.

Has there been any tweaking to issue of runners slowing down when rounding third? That's about the only issue I can think of that wasn't fixed (or at least it wasn't mentioned).

Although not ideal at all...we MoM guys could do CPU vs CPU and keep interrupting the game so to speak. I REALLY don't want to run MoM franchise this way as managing the bullpen etc is not always going to work out as the AI will do numerous things on its own Hopefully Knight can get an answer as to when/if this is a simple fix...we got another week til OD

Can we please get a confirm of the status of classic Guess Pitch? Any chance of it being brought back for offline only, or making the notification window earlier?

Yeah the problem with that is the CPU is terrible at managing a bullpen. They warm up setup men in the 6th inning, make far too many double switches, and run will pitch 6 relievers in one inning. It would be hard to prevent that from happening even if you are proactive.

Good points. I liked Ortiz's avg and hr totals despite the Overal regression but his RBI total probably regressed because the AI saw he was lower overal and moved him down the order to 7th or 8th or even to the bench.



Just an idea to maybe add to the wish list to next year, maybe move back the drastic decline to 39 or 40 make it real moderate 2 to 5 overal decline between the ages 34 and 38. Then to balance out more older players sticking around, make it so more D potential players retire at ages 25 to 30. It's a delicate balancing act and I'm sure it's not easy for the developers.
