I am hoping to have full notes on the first update that went live this morning to provide in the coming days.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.
Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.
Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.
The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.
With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.
Edited and Updated, summary of bugs/issues posted in this thread. (12:58AM 3/3/10) -Player Arm Strength's are too over-powering, they should be toned down, everyone has a cannon arm. -You can still intentionally hit batter after batter and not get warned/ejected. -Player of the Game seems to be very hit & miss. Player are being awarded that had no bearing on the outcome of the game -Stealing is difficult still. You have to run on breaking balls only and take a 3 step lead in order to steal successfully. While stealing generally works fine; it will be difficult for casual gamers. Also the CPU does not seem to take much of a lead, but yet steals with ease. -When playing online, can we remove the max pitch sound effect so that the opponent batting can't hear every time you do a max pitch. Heck, remove the sound all together, it's not really needed. -There is sometimes an online issue when starting ranked matches where a user cannot start the game. This problem is in NBA2K10 as well. -We have no way of viewing a players potential when trading or during the draft for franchise mode. We absolutely need this if you plan on building a small market clubs. -Players still run through each other on the way to and inside the dugout at times. -Still to easy to pick someone off at 2nd. (or be picked off) Pick offs should be much more difficult for both the user and CPU. -The "walk rating" for most everyone is still "D-" in inside edge. I know this is cosmetic, but should be fixed none the less. -You cannot negotiate contract extension in franchise mode. When someone has 1 year left on a contract you should be able to talk extensions with them. -Signature styles get cut off. Signature style batter movement after a swing or a ball are cut short short by a flash across the screen. -There is no way to turn off the "Auto Save" feature in franchise mode. Or the auto save feature in general cannot be turned off. -Players are still reverting to a generic bald appearance during game on the field sometimes. For example is edit mode Boof Bonser of the Red Sox has a goatee and tan skin to match his real life pitcure. But on the field he is pale white bald with no goatee.
