It started right after the live roster updates. Wonder if that caused the problem.

I've looked up several solutions, none of which have worked, (rebooting, updating game, updating console). One solution is to delete and re-install game, which I am about to do.

I see why momentum matters during the season & why every game mission needs to be accomplished to ensure those simulated wins. However once you reach the playoff's, you will play every single game back to back ranging from 6th inning onwards. So why do they still give you momentum earned at the end of the game if it means nothing at all because you will have to play the next game no matter what. THIS REALLY MAKES NO FREAKEN SENSE !!!!! LMAO

During a 162 game season, winning or losing 2 or 3 games in a row won't kill your whole season. However, some playoff rounds are best of 5, and winning the whole round just because you won the first game is too much of an advantage, or disadvantage if you happened to lose the first game. I agree with Dolenz. The momentum is subtle, like starting out with a man or men on base, or being up by only a run.

At the MTO screen, where you select your next game, if you hit the down arrow, it takes you to options. One of the options is "Lower Difficulty". I didn't want to hit it because it might lock me into a lower difficulty without changing, but if there is the option to lower difficulty, would hitting that button give you the option to raise difficulty?

Was one circle lower then the other?

If a major league player tried to steal with a 5 run lead, he would take one in his ear hole his next at bat. I know this doesn't answer your question, but maybe that was the thinking. I can't steal anyway, so I've never tried it with a big lead.

Lmao no he wouldn’t

Not an argument, just commenting on those "unwritten rules" that baseball has. A few weeks ago, benches almost cleared because someone dropped a bunt with a big lead.

If you were referring to the Giants game where Wilmer Flores (I think) laid down a bunt, the Giants played it cool and said we're doing what we can to win the series. Even though I don't recall hearing that before, I think that's a good tactic. I don't think everyone will be so quick to adopt it, but maybe they should.

That's the one, and I have no problem with trying to score as many runs as possible, regardless of the score. They are called "unwritten rules" for a reason. You don't have to follow them.
