Let's try this for the fifth time...

Has anyone simulated far into a franchise and looked to see if the statistics are any more realistic than they were? Since technically it isn't a "bug" that the stats get thrown out of whack, its entirely possible that they adjusted the "balancing issue (as they put it before" regarding this problem. They fixed the strikeout totals in an earlier patch and it wasn't listed in the bug fixes because again, technically it's not a bug.

You're making it seem as if they aren't fully aware that things are missing or wrong in certain style guides. They know things are wrong, but they can't correct them because that isn't in line with the style guide, they've even said as much at times. Not every team's style guide is wrong, some teams are, they wouldn't need to "chase down all 30 teams", they would need to get into contact with the handful of them that have stuff missing or incorrect and convince them to update it. The entire development team doesn't handle one thing at a time, they have different departments tasked with different things, so there would be plenty of time for the developers to develop develop the game. Or do you think making sure that ballparks are up to date and represented correctly wasting time and preventing the development of the game.

Seriously dude just give it up. There has been a million arguments and threads on this, and it never goes anywhere just people saying the same thing over and over and over again. Nothing can be done about it, sorry if you aren't content with it, but it isn't like harping on here is going to change it. Just give it up and spare us another entire thread about the style guide.

They didnt fix the DFA glitch either. Glad they fixed some uniform issues for the Vita, I could care less about player progression since I only play one season each year. I wish I had the option to turn progression off so I dont have to edit throughout the year.

I am confused by that, so could you please explain?

What were the uniform fixes for the Vita version?

Dude, they haven't changed, it's still the same. Someone posted information you seek earlier and in another thread. You gotta be the only one wondering this because everyone else knows it hasn't changed and it's been the same for a few years now. It's the way progression and regression is. The stats are still the same and still escalating as the years go on. Simulate and find out for yourself...

All this style guide stuff is nonsense, regardless of what anyone wants to believe.

Good thing you brought such great evidence. Perhaps people should listen to the designers on here. Russell has liked comments that support the fact that they do have to follow the MLB Style Guide time and time again. You can't blame the devs for something that they can't control.

Dude, I haven't seen any screens or any evidence of this. In fact the only information I've seen post-patch are stats that seemed more realistic.

Sounds like just an excuse for not getting the uniforms right to me.

Why would it be so important for MLB the Show to follow the style guide, but no other company?

Why would the Show have the color of the nationals road socks and undershirts wrong in 12 but the road undershirt color right in 13 but not the socks? The Nationals edited their style guide to fix the undershirts, but not the socks?

Why would the rockies jersey be correct in earlier versions of the Show, but not this one?

Why would the Rays take their light blue jersey out of their style guide, if they are going to wear them all the time during the season?

I personally don't buy this style guide stuff, but whatever you want to believe, and it's a moot point any ways because at the end of the day, i can't do anything about it, and I'm going to buy the game anyways.

You're right none of the other hundreds of companies that make baseball games have to follow the style guide...

oh wait, there's only one, and it's already been explained why they don't have to adhere as strictly.

I didn't say games, i said companies.

Companies that make merchandise, and any other products pertaining to the team, not just video games.

Comprehension buddy.

How about because they don't have another company with exclusivity rights that allows them to determine what the other company is or isn't allowed to do/have?

Ask yourself these same questions and then ask yourself one the big question: Why would SCEA have uniforms that don't match on the field or take away uniforms? I can only think of two answers. The one that makes any sense is the one that Russell somewhat alludes to; that the developers don't look at the actual games to get the uniforms right but instead look at what MLB gives them. We have some of our guys (Knight in particular) that has backed this up in the past.

The other answer is that they just want to piss people off or they want to pull the strings of gamers. Honestly, that answer makes no sense at all and flies in the face of what SCEA has done in the past. They have a home slot, a road slot, a home and road alternate slot, and two throwback slots that are linked in modes like RttS and Franchise, and that's all they got. They have the MLB Style Guide to follow (which does exist and which MLB has a license agreement to bind companies to). They have the Cooperstown Collection that they have to go with in throwbacks. They have a team of lawyers that want to keep the license that they have. When you look at the whole picture, there is only one answer that is plausible.

And it isn't that SCEA wants to **** with its customers.

Yeah, pretty sure someone was posting the stats of 2019 and beyond a few hours after the patch was released. I also thought that you were commenting after most of the stats updates... so I don't really see what the problem is.

I'm running a simulation right now to see it with my own eyes. Right now I'm in 2017 and have yet to see anything abnormal. Stay tuned.
