Ohtani Rule Pitching & Hitting DH 22' Patch?
-
Hi all,
Glad to have baseball back and the awesome MLB TS title. I have been playing a lot of franchise but noticed I cannot have Ohtani pitch & DH on the same day. Has this been addressed by the development team or am I doing this wrong? I understand in DD they want you to buy 2 separate cards but I am specifically referencing Franchise, OR, & exhibition modes.
There is a workaround where you can put a pitcher in the field and sub him with the DH but this causes you to completely lose the DH. I also see the new postseason rules aren't implemented unfortunately either.
It's completely understandable if the team didn't have time to implement the Ohtani rule I was just wondering if they've commented if they were gonna patch it?
Sorry if this has been answered I do not watch the live streams.Thank you!

I haven’t tried yet, but apparently you can have Ohtani DH and pitch the same game if he’s NOT the #1 pitcher in the rotation. I think this is a bug, and I’ll submit a bug report, but this should work.

Interesting. Definitely seems like something they should patch asap since he is the cover athlete & all.

I don’t think they would fix it this year. It might cause several side-effects.
Of course, I hope it to be fixed, but based on nearly 10 years experience of playing The Show, it seems to be possible at least in the next year’s work. -

-
You can not use Othani as a DH and pitch. The show sold us a dream
-
No the mlb didn't do the rule until late March the game was already pretty much finished
-
LMAO. These Devs are something. Something ELSE!
UNREAL I cannot play Othani THE GUY ON THE COVER!
-
I can confirm that if Ohtani is the SP, he can't DH regardless which spot in the rotation he is in at least in AL parks. It shouldn't matter though as the DH is universal now. HUGE oversight by SDS and hopefully they patch it ASAP.
-
They seem to be entering EA status.
-
Please.. fix It!!!!!!!!
-
I’m guessing this is already in the works. I’m just surprised SDS hasn’t confirmed it yet.
-
I’m guessing that will be in MLB the Show 23, along with the new playoff format, but not in this year’s game.

I think they'll patch it in.
-
I have zero faith that they'll patch this lol
-
Unless it is truly a bug they won't patch it. Seems like too big of a change and it probably affects a number of inter-related systems behind the scenes.
-
Why didn't SDS include this from the start of making MLB 22?

I don't know. They haven't commented, let's try again @Collin_SDS_PSN @Victor_SDS_PSN @Pat_SDS_PSN

I know you're talking about franchise here. But for the most part they are DD focused idc what they say. For DD you can now use SPs to hit before you could not. This is kinda big in regards to him being able to bat but you have to sub him after the game starts so you still can't DH him or start him in the field. It is kind a pathetic he did hit like 46 home runs last year yet you can't put him in your lineup

In custom leagues can only use him at plate when he pitches but have to give up your DH spot for rest of game….all this hype and advertising and Ohtani barely even playable
