Honestly, I really don't want to be changing the sliders mid game every single game. Then I'd have to put the sliders back down again when they bring the closer in as they already are far too quick to pull them, then between games to put it back where it should be for a starter. It's just a hassle that I don't need and really shouldn't have to be doing.(why they don't have separate hook sliders for starters and relievers, I truly don't know)

Constantly fiddling with sliders is obviously a work around, but I would be a hell of a lot better if they just got it right.

The opposing team pulled their closer after 23 pitches thrown and he also got 2 outs. They brought in another RP to record the final out...which he did BTW so it worked out. I dug deeper though and saw their closer had been used 2 consecutive days and was low energy on his third straight calendar day. It is quite possible his stamina was spent. Check out the previous games by that closer prior to when this happens to see if it is indeed a stamina issue with the closer being over used. But it happened once to me in over 60 plus franchise games......I was Mmmmmmm. So it is not an incessant logic issue. I think it is a stamina issue. This is with manager hook at 5 and reliever stamina at 3.

Well it was the third game in the series and he hadn't been used in the first two, so I don't think tiredness should really have been in an issue. His stamina was still fine (just over half full after pitching maybe 20 pitches).

The issue seemed to be that he gave up a two out walk so I had men on 1st and 2nd with two out when trailing by three. The tying run came to the plate so they pulled the closer for different reliever, not even a lefty/lefty matchup either. (Pulled Kimbrel for Carson Smith to face Logan Morrison)

I've seen it probably a handful of times and it's almost always seemed to be the result of the tying run coming to the plate

Toning down the homerun slider and the power ratings individually would do so much.

What difficulty are you playing on? I have been playing on HOF with a slider set w/power set anywhere between 0-3 and have had good results. I play with Zone w/pci off. I'm almost into August in my franchise and the totals around the league and on my team are realistic.

I know its aggravating to not get realistic HR totals on default sliders BUT adjusting difficulty and sliders might be your best bet to decrease the frequency. Just a suggestion at trying to remedy your issue and help you enjoy the game. Good luck.

Did they fix the hdr glitch yet where changing the settings in game blew it out?

Not specific to this patch, but is anyone else having an issue with the computer not putting anyone on the 60 day DL in franchise? I'm 2 months in and went to check to see if any teams might need cover and there isn't a single guy on it. Plenty of guys who should be on it (Lorenzo Cain out for 5-6 months, but only on the 10 day DL for example)

Is this just in my franchise?

Oh boy. They need to look at this then.

I think as a temporary fix I will make sure when a closer is inserted I will crank down the hook slider to 0 and if he blows the save....I will get it right back to default after he does.

See if that works.

But Looks like a logic bug based on your experience.

I play on Hall of Fame Pitching and Veteran Batting. Veteran Batting because when I was playing on All Star I was only scoring off of homeruns. With Veteran Batting i score a bit more off of hits alone. Though still not enough runs off of hits alone on Veteran. But regardless of the hitting difficulty (Veteran or Allstar) I hit a ton of homeruns.

I tested the power slider at 1 in the first 2 months of my season through about 30 to 40 games.
I was averaging 0.8 Homeruns per game.

Then I decided to put it up to 3 and it seemed to be the sweet spot. Over ten games i was averaging 1.1 homeruns. But I was still hitting Homeruns with Brett Gardner.

Then when Patch 1.04 came in and I got excited and put all sliders back to default because I thought homeruns had been toned down. Over the course of 10 games I hit 24 homeruns.

That is a big no-no.

They need to tone down the homerun slider to 3.

I have played 104 games. If 104 games is not enough testing to see there is a homerun issue. Then I don't know what is.
