Moving the ball around in the zone and setting your pitch feels a bit less smooth than 23. I can’t quite describe it.

I noticed that too. Almost feels like a lag or slight delay to it. Definitely gives the sticky feeling

I like that they went to the pitch com motion for catchers but I went to replay and even though the animation is there, it does not look like there is actually a pitch com device on the catcher. Maybe I am wrong here but I couldn't find anything. Not that big a deal but just kind of funny.

May seem like a silly complaint but I wish we could disable the catcher pitch com animation and go back to him putting down signs.

IMO it looks stupid especially since there is no communication (pitch called)being relayed to the pitcher.

Busch stadium has been awful years. Build One Cardial Way in the show!

Is this new?

When you make a CAP, there is a randomize option. I’ve seen that in RTTS but not in the CAP for a roster.

That is pretty great if you ask me. I’m now considering making a full fictional roster

Sorry if it’s been mentioned, I didn’t read all the post. But only done the showcase and the first series in rtts and I really like the quick time stuff for tough plays. Also haven’t seen any bunting with the bases loaded or the 4 hole hitter bunting with 2 strikes and/or 2 outs. Haven’t seen any bunts at all in fact. Was always an issue that killed immersion for me and somehow seemed even worse last year than previous years. Otherwise things don’t seem that much different for the mode but it does seem better. I’m definitely engaged which I never was last year. Going to play another series now instead of hoping into another spring training game as I had planned.

I have been playing non-stop since midnight. Thru 7 games of Spring Training I can say that I'm glad that I abandoned my '23 franchise and made the jump to '24. There are so many little changes that make a big impact overall on the game such as the fielder urgency at the wall, the presentation changes, the information pop ups on the scorebug (prospect ranking overall and within organization), and the changes to franchise mode that weren't mentioned in the feature premiere. (They now list the Top 20 Prospects for each Organization)

The game is as solid as ever on the field and that is what matters most, and presentation wise it has changed enough to be fresh. Franchise got some updates that help the immersion and provide information that you can review outside of on the field pop-ups.

Its going to be a good year on the virtual diamond this upcoming season.

This is just untrue in every sense. It’s okay to be upset at what you deem to be a failed attempt to capture his likeness but this is not meant to be Nelson Velasquez whatsoever. This type of misinformation needs to stop.
