Are they just trolling us with these pointless updates?
-
Every one is more pointless than the last. This one is seriously just an appearance issue with one stadium absolutely no one cares about. Meanwhile we are having the same bugs since launch, some of which have not even been acknowledged yet by SDS, despite countless posts and bug reports. Today's update notes made me think they are honestly just trolling us.
Maybe fix RTTS? Or fix the appearance resetting issue? That'd be a good start. I know we're only a month in though so I'll temper my expectations.. -
It’s too bad because this game is not getting better it feels like it’s going downhill. They still have some time to fix some issues and make some improvements but these small updates are pretty much pointless and the the rosters are really weak.

Now that the Server are fixed, I hope the mext priority is to fix RTTS. (Without messing up with something else...)
I hope they will be able to allow players to have more than one character in RTTS. (Not multiple Saves but multiple Characters)
Seriously it's my only hope for this year game... Everything else, I let go and figured they wouldn't care about fixing...
I also hope that loadouts will be gone for next year... I still can't get my head around the fact that by swapping a card I can totally change my attributes and playing style in between games of a series... Seriously, which MLB Player can decide "Today I won't have power but I'm gonna be fast!". Where's the realism in that???
Oh and what's with these birds in the outfield??? Every stadium has the same bireds flying the same patterns... I've been to a few different MLB stadium in my life and I never seen something like this, what's the point to dedicate ressources to implement that when the rest of the game isn't even working properly??

They DID fix it, didn’t you notice how worse it is?

People have to realize something when it comes to patches. There is departments pretty much that work on different parts of the game. A designer who is working on artwork and stadium detail isn't the same guy that works on servers or generally how the game works in any way, just that one specific thing. If he fixed something that he or his section worked on, why wouldn't they release a fix for it? If there is 40 small updates and it fixes everything over time, I don't care. That's why you see updates that have nothing to do with the larger problems.

Yup I know and every human being that worked on software development will agree that 40 small fixes are WAY better/easier than 1 or 2 Huge patches... The smaller the improvement cycle, the better it is.
Problems are mostly lack of communication and planning...
If people don't know what you're doing, they assume your small stadium fixes are the only thing you work on...
Transparency is the key here to keep customer faith... (I don't say keep customer happy because, well with this release happiness set sail long time ago...)

Transparency has to get much better the sooner the better

Wouldn't it be nice if they actually did one or two updates instead of what has become a daily process.
I understand trying to make the game better, but this year has been a mess between server issues and updates. -
Its like they're paying SOOO MUCH attention to our feedback cause we all know the main thing we wanted fixed in the game where some stadiums. Thanks SDS for paying attention to the fans
-
It shows me they're trying. They have fixed so much already. Small patches like these are necessary
