@knucklecutter said in Live Equipment/Uniform Updates:

You can always sim to Mothers Day or Military appreciation week and find out.

My question was more if jerseys get released later in the year that were not in the game to start with, will they be updated to a pre-existing franchise save or would someone need to restart their franchise in order to be able to use those jerseys. Other games ( Mainly NBA 2K ) allow this to update into an offline franchise even though it's a "Live Feature" .... Wasn't sure if this has happened in previous years? I play on XBOX now and haven't played on PSN since MLB 19.

Do the updated jerseys/caps/accessories/equipment get added into a pre-existing offline franchise mode? For example, I noticed in my franchise that the Mother's Day & Camo batting gloves were added to the equipment options for players but not the Camo hats that the league was wearing recently. Just wanting to know if this applies to new uniforms that teams wear throughout the year if they are not currently in the game?

Thanks!

I switch back and forth between my 2K monitor & my 4K UHD/HDR TV. I can definitely feel the response time difference between my monitor and my TV and my hitting struggles because of it however sometimes I just wanna look at the upgraded visuals and colors on my TV so I deal with it.

I have noticed since the update that my Triple A coach has a completely white face ( looks mannequin like ). Also other teams coaches are glitched where there head is not connected to their body. It's not every coach but it was something that I never saw before the update. Also my team is the
Albuquerque Isotopes in case it is a singular issue.

Same here playing RTTS on Xbox Series X. I've noticed that if I skip a cut scene while the faces are mannequin like it will lock up. Not sure if that is all the time though. But that game continues to lock up on me in RTTS.

Oh wow. I have not experienced any lockups or freezing in this years game. I have been one of the lucky few from what I see on here.

Just wanted to see what others who use Pure Analog Hitting are thinking of the game so far this year. Seems to be a lot more difficult to get solid hits. Double plays, mile high fly balls, and pop-ups to the catcher are very common occurrences for me this year. How about you guys?

Pure Analog here for me ... loving the gameplay but not having the issues you are in regards to solid hits. I used to use stride hitting as well but I grew tired of having to memorize everyone's strides and try to match it with the pitcher's delivery. My biggest struggle hitting is going with the outside pitches and being patient enough to wait on them.

But the timing of the stride for each batter is one of the thing that's awesome about Analog Stride....when I feel I'm not batting well with someone or their are in a slump I got into the batting cages and work on their swing before I play a game. Its so much better than button mashing X and moving a bullseye target around like I'm hunting birds.

I agree... I still use the analog to hit just without the stride. So it's either just up for a normal swing or back then up for a power swing and left or right for a contact swing. I just got away from stride the last few years I have played due to just wanted to make my gameplay more efficient. I wish I still had time to go back in and learn each players strides but I just don't anymore. Basically I'm just lazy now lol.

I got called up similarly shortly after then AA All-Star Game. Have been in AAA for probably about a month now and am hitting even better then I did in AA at around .370 with 4 HR & 17 RBI ( Contact/Speedster 2B ). Hoping to get called up soon since I have been having some monster games in the last 2 series. Had a 4-5 with 2 HR and a 3-4 with only a HR shy of the cycle. In the final month of the season now so I am thinking it wont be until the offseason.

@tmt2128_psn said in Batting Stance Editing/Modifying and My Player Equipment Issues:

Batting Stance Example:

I assign Edwin Rios’s batting stance to my player (
Edwin Rios - by default he has a one-handed swing). I change his swing to a two-handed swing. When I go to play it shows as a one-handed swing. I go back into my ballplayer to edit his stance again and it has all reverted back to “default”.

Now, is this by design? As I can not turn a one-handed swing to a two-handed. I have tried this with a plethora of other stances as well, so I am assuming this is either by design or an actual design flaw.

I did notice that when I edited my player's stance to make it custom and then tried to change the swing follow through from "one handed" to a different one, a message popped up on the screen saying that it would cause some animations to revert back to their previous settings. My guess is some things may not be compatible with your stance if it is custom versus just picking a stance and not editing it at all. Hope this helps!

It resets every time you go into load outs in my Ballplayer

Only a few things reset though, not everything.
For me it is always the number of batting gloves and the tape on my bat. Everything else sticks.
Low priority bug for sure.

Yea I think the batting gloves are universal for everyone. Mine are the batting gloves resetting to one and my wrist guard switching from my right wrist to my left which then removes my compression sleeve on my left arm for some reason. I don't see why we can't just change our equipment from the edit player screen like you would edit any other player. IMO the loadout should just determine your player type and then once you activate one you go in the edit player screen and change everything there. I know they are aware of the issues people have, just my 2 cents.

Same. I posted about it under the Game Update 5 Thread as well. I have only noticed the issue in RTTS is anyone seeing the issue in any other modes?

Sorry I should have specified this is only in RTTS ... I have not noticed this issue in any other mode.

@d3athstr0ke9_xbl said in No XP if you change your slidders.:

I am trying to post this in as many places where it makes sense so hopefully it gets seen by the developers but I agree that it is completely unfair to take away XP for changing sliders. Especially when you are someone like myself and others who are actually making the game more difficult / realistic. I always increase the pitch speed ever year and lower the the contact and power from the base Hall Of Fame levels ( it makes a really realistic stat line for me ). This I get no stubs pr progress to my game because of that which is frustrating. IMO there should be a multiplier system like some other games have. Where if you lower the difficulty you get far less XP but if you raise it, it will increase incrementally based on what you change or even just stay the same. But to get none is really unfair IMO.

I personally dont play DD so the progression for that means nothing to me. I just want to be able to earn stubs and XP to buy / unlock equipment for my RTTS player and sponsorships for my Franchise.

It's listed under sliders still however whenever you change anything about the sliders it disables your ability to earn XP and Stubs which is really upsetting.

I find it rather annoying that custom sliders disable XP in any mode. In my opinion it should be done as a multiplier like some other games have done. I usually end up making the game harder by raising the default pitch speed and different things like that. I get that they dont want people to abuse it by lowering the difficulty which is why I think the multiplier works better. Now when I play my RTTS and Franchise I can’t really play the way the game the way I want to ( More Realism ) because I won’t get any XP or Stubs.
