In addition, you can see the lighting is somtimes changing after a cutscene.

Are there any devs to watch this thread?
I reckon this issue is much more serious than any others of franchise mode.

At least, if there is a "DEFAULT" roster and lineup, it would be good if the season started with this lineup.
Then, as the season progresses, it is desirable that the lineup be adjusted when injured or sluggish players come out.

I have doubts about the standards of the gold glove rankings.
My team's center fielder records the highest FLD%(without error) and the most assists. Moreover, He played the most innings than any other CF in AL. But he's just 3rd in AL gold glove ranking.
Are there any other stats that should be considered I'm missing?

1. The in-game lighting changed after a cutscene

   You can see the in-game lighting has been changed after a cutscene of Teoscar Hernandez

2. Pitch information bar disappeared but reappears after displaying the menu

   You can see the pitch info bar is not seen above the scoreboard located at the right bottom of the screen but after displaying the menu, it reappears above the scoreboard.

Since I can't find a bug report forum, I share these issues here.

I modified the default roster for all player's equipment of all 30 teams as same as existing reality.
But the new live roster has been released last week and I'd like to use the new one for my new franchise start.
Should I re-modify the whole equipment once again? Is there any way to merge these two rosters?

Which player is it?

Pretty much every single minor league player.

Devs won't fix it by the way. They tend to concentrate all their ability on the features that make money(e.g, diamond dynasty).

@pennstatefencer said in Check Swing Sensativity:

Last year you could elbow drop the contact swing button and if it was out of the zone the CPU would still check swing for you. The fact that you can't do that this year is one of the best improvements to the game play in years.

Yeah, way more realistic.

I told you how to trade players with CPU Roster Control On. So that shouldn't be an issue--player movement. I'm not sure about injuries and I don't care, because I don't play with injuries. I'll be 79 in August and time is valuable!

Trading Players with CPU Roster Control On: In franchise, CPU Roster Control. select player movement from Team 1 and move to Team 2, then select Team 2, player movement from Team 2 to team 1.

I don't have any idea what is meant by weird situations. I do it with CPU Roster on and controlling all 30 teams and find it best for me. I also do contracts manually, off season manually. I have enough to do without bothering with injuries. Let the best team win! Somehow I always seem to have the best team and win

I just want to play this game in a similar situation to the real world. Many old users have criticized this issue for years and I'm one of them(I've played this game for almost 10 years).
I hope this game to be improved for many years to come because I have many years to play.

No guarantee there, fellow. Things can happen, and they can happen quickly. Enjoy the now because later you don't know.

Thanks for your blessing man. But I don't want to live like someone who has no tomorrow like you.
I encourage you to play an exhibition game not franchise. Who knows if you'll be still alive until next time to play? lol

I am not a clergyman and give no blessings. The truth is we at any age never know what will happen next.

Well, someday, if you're lucky, you will reach my age. If that happens, I hope someone says to you what you said to me.

Firstly, congratulations that you're still alive!!
I say for sure that there will be no problem with my future as you said. Because even though I reach your age "luckily", I will not be a preachy guy like you.
Today I learned one thing that not all older people have the wisdom of age. I would not proudly say that I'm 79 years old here and there. It really seems 79 years of life are wasted.
I hope we can talk again "next time" if you have the "next time".
Well, I'm not ashamed of my age.

You don't need to be ashamed. I didn't mean that.
Anyway, my apologies for being aggressive a bit.
I got angry because of SDS, not you.
Hope you enjoy the game and stay safe.

@rathanian_psn said in XP, sliders and trades:

Trades seem very hit or miss. I started a league as the pirates (I like a challenge) and I put out a bunch of players on the trade block just to see what I could get. Got offered tatis jr for 3 players, all were veterans and none had a higher overall than 72. Umm ok? Then the Yankees offered me judge for a minor league reliever who was a 59 overall.

Trade logic seems a bit off

SDS even boasted that they've improved this part drastically this year. lol

1. Automatic roster change by AI when a new season started

• I'd like to start a season with a default lineup and rotation but when a regular season started, it messed up by AI. Someone advised to handle it by using CPU Roster Control but it also makes a weird situation because there are no trades and injuries when CPU Roster Control set "ON".

2. Trade AI is still stupid.

• SDS said they improved Trade AI in The Show 21, but I don't know what has been changed. I still see that the contender team trades key players.

3. Some notation errors.

• When a new reliever is coming into a game, AVG vs RHB/LHB stats on the popup window is switched from one another.
• In the player's stat(for pitchers), ERA vs LHB/RHB is wrong. I think it should be AVG instead of ERA and it is also switched between LHB and RHB.

4. This is not a critical thing but the pitch information bar above the scoreboard is sometimes disappeared in The Show Theme. But it appears again when I get back from the menu.

@knucklecutter said in Lineups & Pitching Rotation Changes In Franchise:

Actually you DO NOT want to use CPU Roster control. You want to use 30 team control. Set up two different profiles, one for you and one for the cpu.

Why not? I use CPU Roster Control and AI doesn't change lineups for any CPU team. Of course, I select all 30 teams when starting a franchise.

But it also makes weird situations though. Once you set CPU Roster Control "On", there's no trade and injury. Trade by CPU is acceptable because I can handle it by using CPU Roster Control but it doesn't make sense without any injury.

The pitch information bar above the scoreboard is occasionally missing.

I just want SDS to add one more function which enables player's facial hair editable from next year.
It's really annoying when watching Rougned with his face full bearded in Yankees.

I only saw a boy who seemed dazed.
I hope there's a function that makes player's hair and beard editable.

Is there any license problem with Oakley since 2018?
It sometimes seems weird to me because Oakley is one of the most popularly used equipment among MLB players.

@shawnzinator13 said in So the graphics aren’t much better wow.:

I rarely complain but the stadium creator trailer says next gen and the graphics hardly look any different than current gen, disappointing

Since there are no standout competitors, SDS doesn't need to spend lots of money on the graphic engine.
