By the time I'm able to regain control of him he is of course thrown out on what should have been either an easy score or an easy return to 3rd. This is using assisted base running decisions as determined by the slider set I use (Armor and Sword's). First time I've ever seen this -- never saw it before applying the 1.04 patch.

You probably accidentally​ hit r2

Did they finally fixed the 1000 SOTS slots?

Can you also go over the 480, now, without having the MLB TV broadcast intro skipped?

One interesting thing about runners advancing on pitches in the dirt which still is an issue offline - a couple years ago by (un)popular demand they introduced chased pitches which has caused several swinging third strikes each game on pitches in the dirt in manage mode. I've never seen a runner be safe at first when this happens. Apparently there is an animation for this specific instance which guarantees the catcher picks up the ball and throws out the batter at first.

It makes me wonder how a glitch which didn't previously exist - runners advancing on pitches in the dirt - worked its way into the game.

So let's not sit here and make pretend it is our imagination that this happened and is a true bug and by product of this patch. The entire feel of hitting has been changed due to this audio error, bug or whatever you want to call it. But it clearly was changed and unintentionally. Every hit sounds and feels like the bat is cracked. You can't feel if it was weak contact, or if you grooved a ball off the sweet spot off the bat like you could with the game out of the box. For lack of a better term, it's hideous and a massive wart on an otherwise amazing game. Thank goodness they are fixing it. Because it is most certainly off. I have played this game non stop since release and my very first comment on my stream post patch was about this and it came right after the moment I made contact with the ball. I was like "uh oh Houston we have a problem" Anyway let's not minimize a serious flaw. Much like the QC's SP hook issue....this is something tangible and factual. It changed and not for the better and nor was it intended. It was a bug created from update 1.04. Sent from Palm Trees and Paradise using Operation Sports

It doesn't change the quality of the hit(s), just the sound, correct?

I am in the minority in that I've not noticed any difference.

The velocity of the ball off the bat has been nerfed big time with the patch. Line drive hits right back up the middle are slow and the 2b or ss easily gets tp it and at least knocks the ball down.

Turning up solid hits may help some but not completely. I understand they did this to tune down homeruns and opposite field homeruns but the consequence I'm seeing is it is taking away what used to be base hits.

I have fielder reaction set at 2 already and loved finally seeing those "seeing-eye" singles through the infield pre-patch. Lowering ball velocity off the bat on line drive hits or solid contact has taken this away.

I will lower this to one the next few games and see how it goes in my franchise!
