The random game freezes after substitutions at the inning break are infuriating. They happen most of the time following multiple substitutions, but today after pinch hitting for a first baseman. Infuriating.

Detail it and send in a bug report. A couple of us have already. It happens when you pinch hit or pinch run for a guy who does not play the same position as the guy he is replacing.

I'm on ps5. Is this crash exclusive to the ps5 or is it across all platforms?

I’m still ps4.

Another killer. Last of 9th.....game tied....no outs. CPU has winning run on third and a runner on first.

You pull your infield in. Ground ball to 3rd. Runner breaks for home as the AI goes third, to second to first for doubleplay. Winning run scores, but you get the doubleplay. Game over.

The stagnant and increasingly disappearing offense is still a problem in manage mode. It seems like the offense regresses as the year goes on, which is a long time issue with this mode. Any suggestions? I’m not against slider tweaking, if it’s realistic results.

I've tried both average and perfect strike zone. If you are using perfect you might try changing to average for more offense. On default sliders I saw more offense with average but I prefer the small ball style with close games so I use perfect.

I haven't done a detailed statistical study but that is my observation.

Just wondering if the dynamic difficulty setting has any bearing on manage mode seemingly starting off the season with pretty good offensive numbers, but gradually devolving into no offense at all. And if that setting would matter, how should it be adjusted?
