It looks like they fixed the light/darkness issue when playing night games! Now it gets dark in Comerica around the bottom 5th/top 6th, whereas prior to the patch it would take beyond the 7th inning stretch to have a reasonable amount of darkness.

Playing RTTS in AA it was getting dark as early at the bottom of the 3rd inning.

Played a playoff series game @ Oakland with a 7pm start & it was dark at the first pitch!

That's because a playoff game is in october and the begining of your RTTS carreer is April/May so it gets darker earlier. An Exhibition game is based on a midsummer time set where it won't get fully dark untill the 7th or so.

This is for the SCEA Devs as well as all the people helping to make OSFM Rosters:

So I saw that they fixed the Indians BP caps, but did I misread when they said they changed an outdated batting helmet? Cause their road helmets have been wrong for years, did this patch fix them finally?

That makes sense, but doesn't explain why it seemed to get darker sooner in an exhibition game post patch than it did pre patch.

True haha. Haven't checked for myself yet.
It wasn't a Show Live game?

I have noticed that older players are still declining exponentially while younger players are no longer progressing exponentially due to the spring training improvement being patched. I have only done one test sim franchise so far to confirm this but I am hoping its a fluke. Older players are still declining by up to 15 points per category during the season, but young players are only progressing 4 to 5 points max in any given category.

Its right back to how 10', 11', and 12' were where players only gained up to five points MAX in most categories. With the crackdown on PED's baseball has become a young mans game, the initial release of this game depicted this awesomely by having it so young players could actually improve within the first couple years of drafting them and actually contribute to the big league team.

Now im going to get "Not everyone can be a mike trout or bryce harper buddy", But that is not what Im looking for. I am just looking for substantial growth passed the capped 4 to 5 point attribute gains. The older players are still declining at arapid rate but young players progression has been toned down. The only difference is the older players are not declining during spring training anymore.

Now if I am correct most people were complaining about older player regression and not young player progression, so why did they completely eliminate the latter and just tweak the prior?!?! Now I have only done one test franchise so it might be a fluke. If anyone has any proof to counter this, PLEASE it would be greatly appreciated. Needless to say if not I will be playing with pre patch update if I am correct.

Yea I noticed a difference in the lighting last night as well, I think they must have tweaked something with regards to it.

I think there's only a handful of players declining at a very rapid rate. And what I've seen theorized is that it is because those players are starting with unusually high ratings so the system compensates by reducing them rapidly. In the future I don't think you'll see such drastic reductions because the regression will start earlier.

In regards to progression, I was doing some simulations last night (post-patch) and I had an "A" potential draftee show some +9's (and even a couple +11's for some defensive categories). I think we need to gather more data before jumping to conclusions.

Yes I agree. Like I said my sample size was very small. One test franchise up to 3 years. I will try after work to do at least 3 test franchises up to 5 years each with random teams. I will report my findings. Also, I noticed that pre patch alot of prime aged players Age 27-30 were progressing by at least 4 points in every category. This seems to have been toned down and they are not improving as quickly.

Manual or auto training? Biggest jump on manual I've seen is +11, only +7 on auto...

The only other thing I want fixed is the bluriness of the road scoreboard and the bullpen scoreboard at Target Field. It's like the LED resolution is stretched out on the boards and you can't even read them at all. They've been perfectly clear since they added authentic LED scoreboards a couple years ago so I'm really not sure why they are so blurry. The bad part is both boards are visible when hitting so it's distracting. I also use the bullpen scoreboard when hitting to know how many pitches the the opposing pitcher has thrown. Right now it's not really visible at all. I guess if it can't be fixed via patch, I would just like to know why this problem happened this year. I'm extremely happy as always with the game, this is really the only thing annoying me right now.

Has anyone else experienced this in any of the other stadiums?

I think you're mostly looking at B and C (which make up the majority of prospects) rated players development because they do not move ahead nearly as quick as A rated potential players. I noticed that depending on what kind of A potential the player is (A+,A,A-), he'll move up faster as well. I wouldn't worry about it man I think the system is a lot more variable then people think. I've seen players regress differently from different franchises, and this was pre-patch.

[geisterhome]

In my experience since the patch, it appears that the progression/regression has been alterered not only for the spring training issue, but during the season as well.

Pre-patch Tigers franchise example. Torii Hunter regressed from an 89 to 70 ovr by the end of the year. This is with using the "end spring training option.

After the patch through several sims. Hunter has regressed anywhere from a 74 during my first sim to a 78 by the end of my 1 year in my most recent sim.

Addiontally Benoit in my pre-patch dropped to somewhere in the low 70's in the first year. After the patch I noticed in one of my sims that he was still in the high 80's.

I was never too concerned about the high rate of regression of olders players(other than the spring training regression), but thought some might like to see there appears to be some randomness after the patch.

I hope they leave the rapid decline of older players in, not only for this year but in future years as well. Makes managing a franchise much more enjoyable.

is this true those old guys are regressing slower now at the beginning of a franchise?

Yes, but they're still regressing as much as they can regress during the course of the season. It just stopped happening in ST. It's for the better, so those established guys at least have a job out of spring training.
