Re: Manage Only Mode Thread

Looks like base stealing is 100% unchanged in MoM games between MLB 16 and MLB 15. In fact I doubt they did anything to the mode at all. Expect the same MoM warts (like the bunting issue) to continue to be in the game. But at least it appears that they didn't make the mode worse. LOL

Oh and last year I picked up OOTP 16. I wouldn't use OOTP for modern day rosters. But the cool thing about OOTP is that you can play historic seasons. You can even have the game dress the exact same players for a OOTP game that played in the real world game on any given date in history. Mike describes OOTP and The Show nicely (pretty girl all dressed up). The Show has amazing graphics and amazing animations. But OOTP is goes deeper when it comes to baseball simulation. I know this would never happen, but how cool would it be if MLB The Show was merged with OOTP.

Ha, I actually said that one game is like a girl who looks pretty all dressed up..and the other is one who also looks good when her clothes are off.

I'll let you figure out which is which

Thanks for archiving your MoM game. It appears than MoM in MLB 16 plays identical to how MoM played in MLB 15.

Two questions for you.

1) Are the new umpires in MoM games?

2) Are "Defensive Quick Shifts" in MoM games? I am sure the answer is "No", but I had to ask.

I just wish they would fix the STATS problems which are inexcusable.

When looking at Component ERA and other SABR stats for TEAM they just add up all the individual numbers and divide by 12 so if you have a pitcher with a Component ERA if 150.00 it messes up the teams REAL numbers.

New Umpires are in MOM.

Quick shifts are not there.

It does look the same. There are a couple minor things which could be fixed but I'm worried if they "fix" one thing they will break something else so I'm fine with leaving it the same.

With the other additions to franchise and the phenomenal graphics I'm looking forward to getting the game.

Re: Manage Only Mode Thread

I have only played a couple of test innings. But I was pleasantly surprised in one of the innings. I instructed my base runner on 1st to steal and without taking an extra step, the pitcher attempted to pick off the runner. Fortunately for me, I got back safely (I was using a base runner with good base stealing attributes and good speed). So pick offs appear to be in the game. Definitely encouraging.
