What should we expect; hopefully SCEA decides to implement micro-transactions to MoM and then maybe they'll give the feature some lovin'.

Are you saying it flat out won’t let you pinch run? It’s letting me pinch run. Pinch runner has to have same position though.

They corrected the crash problem with a patch that messed up the bullpen, they patched that and brought back the original glitch (game crashing when the player your pinch hitting for, pinch running for doesn’t play the same position).

I posted a workaround that helps earlier in this thread. Only takes a few minutes to do the editing.

It flat out wouldn’t make the change I tried to implement and then after that runner (the slower one) actually scored, the game went to the blue screen.

Trying to figure out the steps you tried to take to put in a pinch runner. So you subbed a runner on base for a slower one?

No. Trailing by one run, I had a hitter with 40 speed lead off with a single. I tried to sub for him with a 94 speed player. I went to base runner action, pinch run screen, highlighted the intended substitution, it asked me if I wanted to pinch run for the runner with this player, I pushed yes. The game returned with the old runner still in the game. I repeated this process 3 or 4 times. Same result. Then after refusing to allow the pinch runner, the game, a few batters later, went to blue screen

Was the runner you were trying to take out a catcher? If so, did you have another catcher on the bench?

Reason I ask is the game will not let you sub out a catcher, at least pinch running, for another player if you do not have a catcher (or player that can play catcher) on the bench.

At least I think this is the case, as I ran across it once or twice previously.

It was a first baseman who also plays of. I was going to sub in an inf with speed ( who also can play of). It just wouldn’t do it.

so I've dabbled with this mode in the past, tried it again yesterday.

Season opener, top 7th, down 2-1, great game so far. Bellinger at bat, Rockies bring in Bowden to face him, so I pinch hit Pujols for him. There were 2 outs, he struck out and before I can sub we move on.

The game crashed, which NEVER happens when I play franchise. Based on what I'm reading here, it's confirmed that if you pinch hit or run with a player who doesn't match the position you're subbing for the game will crash? Pretty unfortunate bug.

Guess I'll go back to quick managing and watching CPUvCPU
