Patch 1.09 is Live

[BrianMcNulty11]

There are more fielding bugs now after today's patch. Still a ton of unfixed bugs that should have been hammered out by now. I've reported them all to SCEA through their bug report form and nothing changed. Here's what I (still) see after 1.09:

- fielders inexplicably whiffing on simple grounders
- when the screen pops up that shows runners or a shift, the runners' jersey numbers are actually the fielders'.
- on line drives with manual fielding on it's still impossible to make a jumping catch. Guys are just frozen.
- Felipe Vazquez is still Felipe Rivero. C'mon it's been almost 6 weeks since he officially switched.
- Pitchers still getting hit with comeback liners waaaaaay too often. I played five games after 1.09 and it happened at least once a game.

I'm sure I'll find more. I'm not gonna keep reporting them to SCEA if nothing changes. It sucks because I've been a fan of this game since the 989 days.

I think it might be an auto fielding issue. I use manual and I'm about 40 games into my franchise and when I get a grounder to first I just direct the 1B over to the bag with the L stick. No issues so far.

Speaking of fielding this year's game really emphasizes individual fielding abilities like no other has before. The difference between Mookie Betts and JD Martinez in RF is really noticeable and just feels right.

(Whoops, Triple Crown's post just came in while I was typing the original version of this one. I don't know what to say other than I'm still on 1.06 and play on veteran)

I actually made a leaping catch a few weeks ago with Patrick Wisdom, my third baseman against the Brewers. This was right after the last patch, so they are possible.

I got lucky once and the base runner conveniently ran into me as I ran across the foul line and got the tag out. They field the ball fine, it's just the transition into tagging the base where the issue occurs. I'm wondering if it's just a problem with auto fielding instead of manual? But then I use manual throwing, so I don't know.

It happens to me once in a blue moon. Auto Fielding/manual throwing guy as well.

Best thing to do is manually take over the first baseman after he fields the ball and run to first yourself. It will then kick into the stepping on the bag animation.

Works every single time. I stopped pressing the "o" button to have him run to first a long time ago and simply take over the fielder myself.

Can confirm that the new Rockies scoreboard IS in.

I’ve never used ‘O’, always the stick. Works every time.

I saw a pic on twitter for a new look to free agents in franchise mode. Anyone seen it yet?
