The Brewers and Padres changed logos and uniforms in 2020 but not one fan has been updated in the crowd. In San Diego, most fans still wear blue and white Padres gear with some of the '70s gear mixed in. The Brewers fans wear the old logo or the '80s version of the glove logo. And Bernie Brewer is still wearing the old uniform during the home run slide. It has now been over 3 years and really kills the experience of playing games in either ballpark. It is especially surprising given the game is literally made in San Diego. Please fix this SDS.

I have purchased a baseball video game every year since the 90's. I would spend 1000+ hours each cycle playing a full season in franchise mode or trying to get my player to the show in RTTS. In recent years The Show has been the one and only game I purchase every year. But unfortunately that is about to change. The lack of upgrades, removal of features and lack of transparency from SDS has become more and more frustrating recently. I felt this way about Madden years ago and took a year off from purchasing the game. One year turned into two, then three and I have never bought another version of Madden since. I have listed some examples below.

Removed Features
-Year to year saves
-Sounds of the Show
-Online franchise
-Setting Ticket and concession prices

The Graphics/Stadiums
-The player models still look like a PS4 version.
-Teams like the Brewers, Padres and Marlins changed their logos years ago but a majority of their fans wear clothes with the old logos.
-The A's Stadium has tarp covering the 3rd deck. This was removed IRL in 2017.

Roster/Bullpen Construction and Management
-The bullpen management is awful. The AI will have long relievers pitch 80 plus games and 120+ innings while the set up men will pitch in 30-40 games totaling 30-40 innings.
-The drafting and scouting has not been updated in almost a decade.
-There are still no international free agents generated.

Words cannot accurately express how disappointing this is. And the most frustrating part is the lack of explanation or transparency from SDS.

This is a bug that has been in the game for years. I do not believe the game will you the put Yelich on your playoff roster if he gets healthy in September.

Has SDS addressed the fact that every MLB prospect who does not have MLB service time has an incorrect age by 1-2 years?

This has been an issue for years in Franchise Mode. The players who go missing will eventually show up in the following years draft with the same amount of scouting you originally completed. Nobody seems to know why this happens and it can be very frustrating when you think you have locked in on your first round pick and he is not there. I have also noticed that blue chip prospects only seem to be there in the first year of your franchise. As I progressed to year 2 and year 3 drafts there were no longer blue chip prospects.
