Notes yet?

Gameplay Improvements and Stabilizations:

-Adjustments made to the Plate Coverage Indicator

-Increased pitch speeds within Diamond Dynasty (both Head to Head and versus CPU games)

-Fix for a rare occurrence where the outfielder would not play a catch (or run over the ball) on firmly hit ground balls that get through the infield.

-Adjustments made to allow more user control for infielders on soft line drives just over their head. This allows users to break out and run for the ball, when they sometimes felt locked in.

-Fix for a rare issue where the catcher would come out of his cover position (covering home), not allowing branching throws to the plate when a runner is attempting to score.

Miscellaneous:

-Fixes for various low frequency consumer reported crashes

-Several UI and art adjustments to add polish

-Various other minor bug fixes and adjustments made throughout the game

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My takeaway - definitely some good fixes in there. Like that the pitch speed is only changing for DD, and I'm sure people who locked in offline gameplay settings will as well. We'll see if/how much the PCI changes affect offline.

The thing about soft line drives is very welcome, as that's a legacy problem that goes back to at least last year. Hope they really squashed it this time.

No specific mention of the franchise offseason stuff fix, though they mentioned "several bug fixes throughout the game." I'm sure we'll be able to figure out if that was fixed soon enough.

Agree, based on those notes I'm actually fairly excited about this patch.
