Finally..

Improved substitution logic for the bullpen and starting pitchers will deliver enhanced statistical realism for both relievers and starting pitchers. Closers and setup men will see more realistic usage and more innings pitched. Long relievers will also see more realistic usage and a lower number of innings pitched. Starting pitchers should see a reduction in the number of innings they pitch, including fewer complete games, shutouts, etc.

Runners now won't always dive back to base on pitchouts and balls in the dirt.

Wow, just wow. I really love how SDS wants to make this a game for the players. This is really not normal in this day and age for a mainline developer.

I wanted to wait until Tuesday to get the normal edition. After reading the patch notes, I just bought the Digital Deluxe Edition to show my support.

Seeing everything as described here so far, especially the complete games being lowered and the bullpen use at least in sims, which is all I've looked over.

Here's an example of something I think we've all seen before - I think the D'backs absolutely would have gone to the long pen in the 5th down 2 runs before this patch (and for about the last 5 iterations of this series) and threw one of them for at least 3 innings. Their long pen during this sim is Ryne Nelson, Yilber Diaz, and Jordan Montgomery - and NONE of them saw the field. Zona actually managed the pen like they were trying to win the game, and sure enough, they did.

This is one of many I've seen - the bullpen use has changed from game to game. Not going to try to judge if it's exactly where it needs to be based on small sample size, but is it different? I think I can definitively say Yes. And if you have smarter pen use like that spread out across a whole season, I think the final stat numbers should look better too.

Interesting. In one of the developer videos they said pitch counts would be lower. I suspected that would lead to inordinate complete games and posted such on this forum.

It's puzzling that they can't see these obvious things when they make changes.

Phillies just brought Matt Strahm in for a 4 out save.

I was trailing 3-0 heading into the 8th, scored a run and then loaded the bases with 2 outs. They brought in Strahm who got out of the 8th and then pitched the 9th to complete the save.

Apologies, I'm dense, I don't follow. Won't lower pitch counts lead to fewer complete games?

The New Balance FuelCell COMPv3 cleats were replaced with what looks like the COMPv4 version, but the name and icon still reflect the former. The same thing happens with the New Balance 4040v6 Metal, which was replaced by the 4040v7 version but still retains the name and icon of the former

Re: New Patch Update Available, Version 3.

For anyone who cares, this update addressed a LOT of the uniform errors I pointed out in 24 for the historic uniforms. SDS seemingly made it through the NL East and NL Central in this patch. I’m genuinely surprised that my notes were taken into consideration and actually carried out. Massive props to the team working on uniforms—it must’ve seemed trivial for such small details, but fans like me really appreciate the attention to detail for the sake of immersion, accuracy, and the love of the game.

You can check out the list here. My post on what they fixed in Game Update 3 is on post #570
