Yeah they are using pitch com. I use catcher suggestion so I don't really see or notice the fingers. I wish they would somehow coordinate pitch com in the game. Maybe like vibrations will tell you what pitch they want.

Really wish the CPU logic was fixed when it comes to lineups and bullpen management. Every year it's impossible to do a single team franchise, unless you don't care about teams having horrible lineups. Complete games can be worked around, lineups only with 30 team control.

Can’t wait for Tuesday to get here, so I can try these out.

Could it be that many of us greatly underestimated SDS and they produced a jewel of a game?

I am really enjoying the game so far. The presentation is just phenomenal. When you hit the ball hard off the bat you hear the roar from the crowd. The announcers will say 2-1 game in the rubber match of the series or tie game in the 3rd game of the 4 game series. Little stiff like that makes this game so much better.


Yeah, they can always improve logic. But that is something that was bad for years. So it’s not fair to knock 24 for that when it was the same for the past 5 plus years. I haven’t went through and looked at lineups yet. So I haven’t checked if it’s worse or better from last year.

I started using classic with these Sliders a couple of years ago and it gives you a better experience or let´s say a more realistic one. Your input is not that important, ratings and confidence is. Sometimes the ball goes to completely different directions and your give up walks or HRs. If you want to have more to say, this is not your way of pitching.

Just finishing up some testing. Will have version 1 tonight.

The announcing has definitely taken a step forward this year. Much better details and they talk less and stick to the most important stuff.

They still talk about the suit in NY but hopefully it is less. They added more player stories and even ballpark history.
