@PushedSatsuma2_XBL I think I figured out what it did. Cross platform upload I assume from Xbox? I think it gave you the Joe Schmoe username in the vault on PS5… maybe?

Is it uploaded by JoeSchmoe12345?

There’s gotta be a way to adjust this, THIS YEAR. This can’t wait til MLB 26. There’s zero reason these legacy issues should still exist. Why are relievers getting 90+ appearances and 100+ innings?
I’ve cranked the sim injury slider up to 10 just trying to get these guys to sit some games or go on the IL and it’s impossible. Every sim test season ends with 30-40+ relievers with 80+ appearances and too many to count with 100+ innings.
I’ve changed hook sliders, I’ve changed stamina sliders, I’ve tried everything.
The bullpen logic is still horrendous. Even during games played. Play any 3-4 game series and you’ll see the same 3-4 relievers in every game. The CPU brings them in with yellow stamina every game. I can only assume this is the same logic applied to sim games also which is why so many guys have 80+ appearances.
SDS, this has to be fixed this year. It’s only April. There’s still time. Please don’t make us wait til next year to hopefully see a change to this.

@Ebers1998_MLBTS this is concerning… this was a huge issue years ago. Somehow it looks like it’s made its way back. With the bullpen menu locking up, I’m scared to even turn this game on lately. If this is back… I’m gonna have to find something else to play for awhile if it happens to me.

I feel like we’re leaving a lot on the table with these two attributes. It would be a great addition to the game if the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings of close games (3 run lead or less) if pitching and hitting clutch took the place of contact & H/9. Maybe just the 8th and 9th even?
Make those setup guys matter a little more and force us to find a guy who can hold it down … in the clutch … literally.

Thoughts?

Dynamic difficulty has the (+) difficulties built into the progression/regression. So can we get those as an option in the menus?

PSA: don’t use the quick menu to pull up the bullpen right now. Some of you may have been noticing it won’t let you hit triangle on pitchers sometimes unless you close and reopen the menu. Now, it won’t even let me close the menu with circle. Stuck here with two cold pitchers and looks like I’m going to be forced to bring in a cold pitcher if I want to continue this game…

It’s the best ignored feature they’ve ever added. Not sure why they can’t keep it updated for us.

Coach attributes only adjust ratings while in game. Say a coach adds +1 speed. In menu, someone who’s a 89 will show as a 90 in game.

Attribute upgrade in May.
Transactions are supposed to be weekly.

Lol…well this is awkward. Just found a post that these transactional roster updates were supposed to be WEEKLY…

Following the two week ritual of roster updates, I can only assume we’ll get one on Friday. That said, SDS, please show some support for your “load roster with injuries” option in franchise. You guys added this feature last year then never updated it. And it happened again on the 28th. I get there’s limitations on how many you can have from each team, but at least have the 60 day IL guys on it correctly. Don’t know why you add such a fantastic feature like that and then completely ignore it. PLEASE update it Friday with the (hopefully) 4/11 update.

Not having this issue in franchise. What game mode?

Bad jumps are a little too prevalent in offline modes. So many easy to read fly balls, and “bad” fielders making horrific reads. Super unrealistic. These are professional outfielders. They aren’t jumping to the Left Center Field gap on a hooking flyball to the Left Field Corner. There’s gotta be a way to tune it for online and offline. They’ve allowed diamond dynasty to ruin too much of the offline gameplay in recent years and it’s super disappointing.
Make the reads bad on balls hit right at them. Or directly in front or behind. These bad jumps on balls 40 feet in the other direction make the game look ridiculous.

A couple years ago, they completely nerfed the pitcher fielding to accommodate the online community who was tired of going back up the middle for outs. Did this affect offline as well? There’s a TON of soft 70-80 mph grounders getting right by the pitchers who are flailing out of the way instead of fielding their position on soft come-backers.

@dodgers19k88_MLBTS freezing cold take. It’s absolutely needed in this game. Especially with how often rosters change throughout the season in baseball. This would be a huge feature for anyone wanting to start a franchise post-trade deadline. It’s in the survey because even SDS knows it’s worth adding.

@Jacob151167_XBL this feels like something is wrong with textures and we’ve seen that get patched in the past so I’m gonna stay hopeful for a little bit lol.

It’s like this on every field. Hope they address this soon. This looks like a PS1 game right now in its current state.

@DaboiNoah you can turn injuries to manual when that happens and undo the injuries. And then turn injuries back on

To add to my comment above: the best BEST way to play franchise is dynamic difficulty, classic pitching, and timing hitting. (And buttons throwing). True test of patience and every attribute matters on the players.
My pitching bounces between Legend and Legend+ and my hitting bounces between Hall of Fame, HoF+, and Legend. Gotten to Legend+ hitting maybe once or twice with timing hitting but it QUICKLY falls back down when I get shut down at the plate lol.

Word word bro I appreciate it you explained it pretty [censored] well so I’ll give it a try. Seems like that’s what I’m probably looking

Awesome. Glad I could help. I think you’ll love all star+. And if you do love it and never want it to change once it gets there, you can lower the slider setting for dynamic difficulty sensitivity all the way down and it’ll stay there.
Only issue is it lowers the xp you earn if you do play DD on the side.

Wish they’d come up with a way for xp to stay at the normal rate when adjusting dynamic difficulty sensitivity, gameplays/simulation injury frequency, and trade frequency…but that’s a topic for another day lol
