Two weeks ago, late in a tie game, my slow ass catcher gets on base, I sub him for a pinch runner.  Next inning starts with the pinch runner behind the plate.  I sub him out for a new catcher and the second I click yes to sub him in, the game crashes.  Infuriating since it was a playoff game but I figured it was just a random crash.

I got through the playoffs, did the offseason, starting a new season.  Same exact scenario cropped up but with different players.  And once again, putting in the backup catcher crashed the game.

So that’s twice now I wasted nearly an hour on a damn game just to not be able to finish.

I've never had that specific thing happen, but I have had it happen where I'll go to make a substitution, and it will instead swap two other completely random players - usually taking my best player out of the game.

That’s so odd. I’ve never seen either of those things. 
 

The only glitch I’ve had is, very rarely, after the CPU brings in a reliever, Im not able to swing the bat. Whether I’m using the swing stick or the buttons, doesn’t matter. So then I have to save the game and exit and jump back in to continue playing.

I've also had a glitch where after bringing in a reliever or substitute, the graphics for player stats will just stay on the screen. That one is really annoying.

I had a glitch last year where Teoscar Hernandez won a gold glove.

[METALMAN]

I got this. I don’t know much about baseball but I really like this game. I’m doing the road to the show. I was drafted by Baltimore and sent down, but got called up to MLB about halfway through my first season. It turns out that this isn’t really because I was doing well but because Baltimore are so bad. I’m pretty much the only person with an average above .220

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, Baltimore is in the middle of a historically bad run. Both in game and reality. But especially reality eh @damsher hatfield?

[gunnar hendershow]

It's been a rough few years and will continue to be a rough few years. At least I can get free tickets through work now.

[Meacon Keaton]

At least you have the Ravens.

[Your Mom]

El Mago
Starling Marte
Kyle Hendricks

for

Mike Trout

 

Think that's worth it? For reference I would replace Baez with Astrubel Cabrera and I don't know who would replace Hendricks but he's my 5th starter anyway

[Meacon Keaton]

I’d do it. As long as you know you can hit with Trout. 

[Gabriel]

The Show 20 is supposed to feature a "Re-Branding" feature in Franchise mode. The rumor is that it's essentially relocation, but probably without the ability to create a stadium from scratch and some other relocation features.

If this gives me the ability to create alternate uniforms for my teams though, especially the minor league affiliates, then that will make me very happy. It'd be nice to have some other uniform options for the minors teams, and even for the MLB teams if I want to freshen things up.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, re-location is suppose to be in, with custom logos and uniforms.

Also it has MiLB branding, so we won't have to wait for custom rosters anymore. They'll have the real, legit minor league players in the stock game now. I wasn't going to get this year's, but between relocation and authentic minor leaguers, I may have to now. 

[Your Mom]

I made the trade but I subbed in Will Smith and got to keep Hendricks  

[Your Mom]

Trout's first line: 3-5 2 HR and 3 RBI  

[The Buscher]

Relocation/rebranding is cool but not enough of a game changer to make me buy on day one.

If they added all the minor leaguers that would be a definite game changer.  That said the preview schedule just says “full minor league rosters”, might just mean they’ve finally added Single A and other leagues.

The actual video released showed current minor leaguers names so I’m thinking it’s the actual players.

[The Buscher]

The Cult of Tebow is about to buy the game en masse to get him to the big leagues.

[The Buscher]

Thinking about this more, if they did add real minor leaguers even the default 90 man rosters would give them so much room to work with.  90 spots would still get you:

-Every team's real 40-man roster as of whatever cutoff they have
-All the veteran players signed to teams on minor league deals (who would've been in the game regardless)
-Each team's top 30 or so prospects
-And the remaining spots going to a bunch of fringe prospects just to ensure the AAA/AA teams can field full rosters

Would take a lot off the plates of the OSFM team since they wouldn't need to create anybody, though I'm sure they'd still release modifications for gear, stats, appearances if editable, etc.

If they expand it even further to include a full Single A roster, even better.  I'd like that if only for the fact that you shouldn't be an 18 year old starting in Double A.

[Meacon Keaton]

Well they have Single A in the Show, it’s just non-playable. I tend to put 18/19 year olds or guys with high potential but low overall there because they’re pretty much guaranteed to progress because they won’t have bad statistics to bring their numbers down.

[The Buscher]

I remember jumping for joy when I drafted a 98 potential third baseman.....only to realize I didn't put two and two together with his age and MLB ETA so I wound up with a 22 year old guy with like an abysmal 39 rating and realized if he developed he was gonna have a really short prime.
