Anyone play the Play Now Live mode?

It's a damn disaster. Used to always love to go in and play the games of the day as it was quick and easy to access.

I actually just tried to play as the Yankees against the Red Sox today and Chapman(the yankees closer) was in LF and Stanton was listed twice in the starting lineup. Gary Sanchez was no where to be found. It's a complete mess that I hope they fix soon. The records also are all over the place and I noticed if you hit a homerun, most of the players(Stanton, Sanchez) the commentary team would say its the first home run of their career...i mean, what?

Is it fixed? I haven't played a game yet but I peeked at this mode today and all the military times were gone and my team had up to date rosters including an accurate lineup for tonight's game including JT Realmuto who was just activated off the DL this afternoon.

The lineups have been accurate since launch. You just have to wait until closer to real-life game time for the team to announce the lineup.

Are stats/commentary updating -- eg, not acting like every game is opening day? Correct lineups are good, but for me, it's the presentation aspect that makes it more enjoyable than a regular play now game.

Are the records correct? When I tried playing the mode a week ago, every team was always 0-0.

Looks right to me. Cubs are 7-8 (hopefully 8-8 in about a half hour or so), Cards are 10-7 and the stats look accurate.

Why are their random legends in my Show Live rosters? Anyone else seeing this?

Yep. Tried to play the Giants-Nationals game yesterday and the Nats had freaking Johnny Bench as their catcher! Meanwhile Nick Hundley is playing both catcher and center field for my Giants and Austin Jackson is no where to be seen on the Giants roster. When I reached Hundley's spot in the lineup it initially didn't show a batter. Hit X and he appears ... but I couldn't control him. At that point I gave up, turned off the game and decided to play a game of Strat-o-matic baseball on the table top instead.
