While there at it or at least looking into whatever the secondary posiitons really need to be added hell give the commissioners a button to edit positions in custom leagues and problem is solved.

What sucks for us custom league guys or even just online if you start these players at the missing posoition where thye actually started on a certain date as we follow the linups in our league the CPU will remove them completely from game before a pitch is even thrown. This is why its important they have these secondary positions.

They talk about this being an authentic baseball game but yet players who have played at other positions still do not have them added and its the All-Star break well thats over now but you get the point. I provided links and proof where these players have played in 2025 it was posted over a month ago.

Morning,

I have asked several times and im going to try this again.

Whoever made the decision to only give 1 position to players this year for live series cards didn't consider how this effects CUSTOM LEAGUES.

We have constantly players out of position because of this. We use real life teams lineup fior each game as we follow the real life 2025 MLB Schedule in my custom league. We have done this since 2020.

All im asking is please take it under consideration and add these positions to the players I have listed. I spent the time myself and gathered the info and proof 2 months ago and still not 1 player was updated since.

I have supported this game since 2011 and im almost to the end where im mo longer going to because in the beginning u guys were super nice responded and fixed things when asked now I just get ignored.

There was a time I gave a height and weight corrections list and the lead designer at the time thanked me and appreciated the "attention to detail" his words not mine.

My intentions is only to make the game enjoyable for us die hard online guys who ONLY play in custom leagues and buy this game ever year.

We constantly are having to accept you guys removing "key features" that's killing the immersion of baseball.

Since 2018 there was no more online franchise what we got in 2020 is nothing like we had from 2008-2017.

In 2022 you guys decide to remove WIND in all online games 2 months after release here we are in 2025 abd still has not been turned back on. This is unrealistic as wind and weather is a huge part of baseball and any outside ballpark.

Ok so in 2023 the next year you remove injuries from all online games. Same as above unrealistic your the only sports game that does this not allowing all weather and injuries online!

In 2024 you decide to remove step outs at the plate in all online games which again is ridiculously unrealistic! It's a part of baseball they do ut plenty of times in real life.

Now in 2025 you decide to cut pause timer to 1:30 that resulted in constantly forfeit games on our custom leagues because yes we pause to make substitutions in 7th and on and we pause to check pitcher analysis.

You remove the effect of using bullpen slow toss, schedule to put in relief pitchers etc online making all pitcher automatically ready again unrealistic just give us options the people who wanna skip thru presentation be in a hurry or not play with wind give them options to play rushed but for people like myself and im sure many others give us options to turn on or off these things how we personally wanna play and have these things on or off especially WIND and play people who also like to use the things on.

Baseball is not to be played without half these things removed or hurry up games.

Thanks,

H.B.

Attention SDS

This pause timer in online games is causing us to half to replay games in custom leagues at a high rate because someone accidentally hits the X button when pause timer runs out.

We half to pause a few times around 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th innings to check our pitch counts and pitcher analysis and almost all of us run out of time.

We make substitutions around 7th and 8th innings for struggling players at the plate.

We are not pausing and sitting on screen but pause to make adjustments or check pitch counts etc and we run out of time.

If whoever is batting runs out of time the person pitching hits X to pitch it ends the game.

I understand it prevents rank game pause exploits but were not doing that and have no issue with 1:30 or 3mins but if it was another button to forfeit game or you had to actually hold X for 10 seconds to forfeit the game would be better than just hitting X to end game and forfeit.

Thanks,

H.B.

Players 2025 positions still need updated.
