Im sure it wont be a mandatory option.
You will be able to turn it on/off.

Actually....I can see a problem with ratings dependent only GPC's.

Do you ALWAYS want Clayton Kershaw to have an 0-2 or 1-2 count on the weakest hitters in your lineup or on your team?
(I'm just using a top line pitcher here).


I guess it's tougher than I thought.....and while I used it in ASB2005 because of there not being enough K's....
That game wasn't the best at simulating stats.

Very interested to see what they came up with!

Bingo, after months of prototyping and trying different combinations I believe we found the sweet spot. Being able to cut the game times in half, and keep the fun factor along with simulation stats was key.

Of course you never have to play with it if you don't' want to.

Well, the ratings would set the percentages so while it might be typical for Kershaw to be ahead in the count, it wouldn't always happen.

Of course, Kershaw vs a weak hitter probably WOULD be ahead in the count more often than not.

Just like if I had a 30 BB/9 pitcher on the mound, I would expect him to be frequently behind in the count because his strike rate would likely be bad.

If it's not based on ratings, then what is it based on, just pure randomness? A high control pitcher facing a lot of poor discipline hitters would be as likely to issue a lot of walks/3-ball counts as a low control pitcher vs a team of disciplined hitters?

Is the current fast play option going to continue to exist or is it being replaced by generated pitch counts?

Thank you.

It's still there can use quick counts with fast play or broadcast presentations.

Yo Russell, will we be able to finally see our pitchers stamina while we are batting? For example, I go ahead by a couple of runs and want to see if my starter can save the bullpen and go a couple more innings. Instead of waiting to pitch to see his stamina, can I now just go to a screen and see it or do we still have to wait to go back to when we are pitching?

I mentioned this to you at CES and I hope it's one of the new things you will include in 14.

There's a ton of applications for generated pitch counts. You can use it in Spring Training/Minor League games, or blowout games when you just want to move on... You can use it online, in online leagues, where you are required to play a particular game by a deadline.

You can use it if you suddenly realize you need to leave the house (I assume you can pause at any time to enable or disable this feature), and want to wrap the ending of the game up as quickly as possible.

And let's not forget RTTS, because lord knows I'm definitely using generated pitch counts when I'm stuck playing for the Mississippi Mosquitoes or whatever nonsense team they have me on!

You're there for a reason! Your bad attitude and inability to hit the deuce keeps holding you back.

Carry Over Saves to Future Versions.

Being that I'm a simple minded guy I have to get one thing clear...Can a roster with created faces go from 2014 game to 2015 game? This would be an Earth shaker! This would free-up Roster makers so they can either play a full season or create new players and upgrade players.

Please say it's so...

i hope the generated pitch counts are in MOM mode. only mode i play tired of falling asleep late at night in middle of games when i wake up my pitcher has thrown 175 pitches! i hope the gpc doesnt take away from cutscenes and presentation in general. looking foreward to finally playing all my games with no sims!

Perhaps OSF should just have a Q & A with Russell because there definitely seems to be a lot of questions that will be asked.

Way to early to do that we aren't going to talk about anything new for a while. I'm only answering stuff about announced features and even that is limited.

Are we going to see rain in games? If so, rain delays, postpones, etc?

I doubt you could answer, but worth a shot.

I was wondering this too. Carry over roster files would be domination; I'm talkin' like '84 Tigers start of the year domination.

Good news, thank you.
