Why isn't the catcher blocking ability listed as an offline and online fix? Did they just not change it offline?

I had the same thing but it started for me last night before the patch which was weird then today it continued with that same "755" listed as the break for pitches that showed it.

I don't think the actual ability of the catcher to block the ball is the issue, Carlos Ruiz does a pretty solid job of keeping the ball in front of him and not letting it squirt away. The problem is two fold, the runners are programed to see it as an opportunity to take the extra base far too often when the ball isn't actually getting away from the catcher and the catcher acts as if the runners aren't running taking his sweet time to pick the ball up. If there was a way to tweak the AI logic to only take off when the ball actually gets away from the catcher, whether it be to the backstop or off to the side, it would probably solve it all but no idea how easy that is to patch after the fact.

Fired up my White Sox franchise. I'm playing with Quick Counts. Top of the 4th inning, Melky Cabrera leads off the inning with a double. Carrasco has 54 pitches and that was only my second hit. Matt V mentions that the Indians now have someone warming up in the bullpen. This is brutal...

And then he was pulled before my first batter in the 5th. He threw under 60 pitches through 4, only gave up 1 run on 3 hits. Man this sucks

Tomba is being slammed pretty hard for his comments but I actually think his concerns are a testimony of how great this game really is. The bar is so high for this game because of its realism that things like colors being off really are a disappointment for some. Think about that... When that is what affects your ability to enjoy the game, the game itself must be pretty amazing. If the colors are correct everywhere else he just wants them corrected in those areas as well. That whole Tigers jersey thing wasn't a big deal to everyone but they fixed that. Not trying to speak for him but that's how I interpreted his comments not just that he was being a crybaby.

Problem is, one of his issues isn't an issue....it's the correct color.
