I feel the same way, We're able to play online franchise thankfully and aren't stuck where it needs to activate, but just played a game in OF against a user and got a dude stuck in the box about 6 times... ridiculous... everyone is saying "what a great patch" yet there are still massive issues in regards to gameplay!

Quick observations after a couple of post-patch games:

Bat to ball sounds need to be reverted to default if possible. It's a super noticeable difference that detracts from the overall experience.

AI use of the bunt with players who cannot bunt. Ive seen the "laser bunts" but from what I've seen it's more about who is bunting on most of the laser bunts. In a way I think it's working as intended to prevent bunt cheese. The problem is when the AI uses guys who can't bunt to bunt and it leads to double plays and easy outs. Maybe put in a limiter where all pitchers and only position players with a 40+ bunt rating will attempt them?

Starting pitching is still getting pulled too early and it's obvious that the code in the game says that in a tie game if a runner reaches second, pull the starter. Maybe take the pitcher's stamina and other ratings into account with the SP hook so it's not one size fits all?

Relief pitchers still pitch far too long. Very few teams will let a pitcher go 2+ innings in the real game but it happens frequently in The Show.

Catchers dropping balls in the dirt or pitches that the catcher traps in the dirt. Patch notes says that this was improved but it still needs major work. It's common for runners to take extra bases on pitches in the dirt even on the best catchers in the game. This eliminates the cat and mouse pitching strategy if you know that every pitch you throw in the dirt, regardless of how good your catcher is, will likely advance a runner. It's a real killer for trying to pitch realistically.

Since we've seen art assets can be patched as evidenced by the stadium touch-ups in 1.04, can we please get matte helmet options in for those teams that use them? Any chance of getting the blue St. Louis cap?

Really enjoying the game by and large but these improvements would go a long way to reaching the potential this game has.

Yep I tried setting up an online franchise today just to see if it would work but it's been stuck in the roster upload section for the last 6 hours or so

I keep reading on other boards that the online hasn't improved and there is still freezing? Is this true?

[thekidisback]

Is the Chipper Jones mission fixed?

[qwikphaze01]

Can anyone confirm if sounds of the show was actually fixed?

LOL. This sounds like a lazy man's credo or something. The game is not tuned for you or for me or for anyone in particular. We all have different skills and reflexes and will produce different outcomes as a result. Sliders exist as a means of tailoring our experiences to our specific abilities and preferences. Expecting all the settings left at 5 out of the box to work like a well-oiled machine for everyone is pretty pollyannaish, don't you think? People that continue to refuse to figure out their own best settings will continue to complain about the game not working great for them. That should surprise nobody.

As for the game "working properly" -- I can agree with you; there shouldn't be glitches and oddities. Clipping, hitches, or whatever. Sliders should have no bearing on that at all. But as far as stats and homers and stamina and most gameplay issues, clearly sliders can and should be adjusted as needed to smooth it over.

I'm not attacking you particularly with this post, but I just feel strongly about the logic of people needing to experiment sometimes to find the best settings for themselves. The idea of having all these options there to adjust and not touching them while complaining all the while is very foreign to me.
