Playing, but I discovered if you hold the left stick right after the hit, it will eye on the ball.

I don't understand this. I created a speedy CF and was drafted by the Phillies. However, the only time I see any time in CF is when a LHP is on mound. Other than that I'm a leadoff DH. Why?

Also, I hate this new baserunning camera.

My only real issue so far is that I can't seem to hit for power. I'm in the middle of May with 0 HR.

Yea, I really just can't with this game anymore.

My issues:

1. I'm a 3B for the Orioles, overall is 62 and here were my AA stats:

- .383 avg, 10 HR's, 293 plate appearances, a 3B fielding % of .983, a .378 avg wit RISP, ISO is .200 and an POP (OBP+SLG+Batting Avg) of 1.312!

But yet, not promoted. I checked the roster of AA, AAA, and MLB.

My position at AAA the guy is rated also 62 and when I tried to check his stats, I can't because the game doesn't track Minor League stats. Woops forgot about that.

2. So Manny Machado is rated 86 OVR and playing SS, but there's also Freddy Galvis who is rated 82 OVR whom is also playing SS, but there's a 63 rated OVR guy at 3B???????

Why?


3. I finally got promoted as a 63 OVR straight from AA to MLB (for some odd reason) and in my first 5 games, I went 1 for 20. That's right folks. ONE FOR TWENTY. I'm not ready for MLB level, I'm good for AAA level.

So instead of the game letting me PROGRESS as an 18 year old to AAA and up the ladder, they bumped me into the Majors which a sure fire way of giving me a serious bump in my career, if not ruining my potential...just like it would in real life. It also took them a pretty long time to promote. My stats were off the charts after 300+ plate appearances which is more than enough time to decipher a prospect.

So I'm basically a 62 OVR 3rd baseman who is playing AT 3B while there are two Shortstops playing....Machado and Galvis who BOTH can play 3B.

There are serious problems with this mode. I think I'm done guys. I gave it a serious try.

I won't even get into the issues that come up with the AI wanting you to switch positions and how it can mess up your archetype by doing this. We'll talk about that later, or others can bring it up.

is there any way to use the old camera in the field? I can's see when zoomed out so far at third base. I've been manual zooming with the right stick but it's very annoying.

Sounds like this mode is pretty much broken, unless you don't mind having almost no control over how your player develops and progresses. For my money, I liked the manual point allocation system better.

I settled on making a Closer, got Drafted by the Dodgers, not my Cubs but hey I'll go where they send me.

I think it will be better this time as before playing a Closer meant spending money to keep your stats up because of your limited pitching but now it rewards what you do so liking that.
Did not like being put into a Starter role and running on empty by 7th innings, was aiming into the center of the zone but my pitches were all over the joint LOL, thankfully I am back in my Closer role and reinforced it when I had the cut scene.

Think I might get up to AAA soon as I am doing well and am ready, not sure but it is heading to the end of my first year so that is cool.
