Can we adjust our defense manually to not hold runners on this year? The most annoying thing the last 2 years for me has been giving up base hits because my second baseman/shortstop, or especially ridiculous, my third baseman was out of position holding on a runner that would never have attempted to steal and there was nothing I could do to move them.

You can't do it manually, but the AI is a lot better in choosing who it holds on base (last year it was everyone in all situations, this year speed and situation are taken into account) and fielders who are holding a runner on will take a few steps back towards their normal position once the pitcher begins his delivery.

Also, are there 1 game playoffs in franchise/GM mode this year? Last year if a division or wildcard race ended in a tie, it just picked a team(apparently at random) to go to the playoffs.

I remember we did something with this, but can't remember the details. It may have just been that when there's a user team tied, the user team advances, and if there are two cpu teams, it simulates a game behind the scenes and sends the winner on. This and the playoff calandar are two things we're going to fix next year...it requires a substantial change to the schedule system, and we weren't able to make time for that change this year.

Re: Any questions?


Thanks for the response to my earlier inquiries Fat Pitcher. Here are a few more questions:

1. Last year's game had night games in which the field seemed too dark along the first and third base lines and in the corners. Has this been addressed?

2. Do any of the games begin when it is dusk and progress into darkness?

3. Do any of the retractable roofs work in the game?

4. What other sliders have been added?

5. You said in an earlier post that this year's game had ball physics. Does this include splash hits or do balls just bounce around in the stands? Do foul balls have ball physics.

6. I would like to see an option or slider where one could increase the number of foul balls therefore, making it seem like you are fighting off pitches and hanging tough until you can get a pitch to hit. Has anything like this been done for this year?

Thanks again Fat Pitcher.
