The roster updates for this patch should include everyone who was drafted this year, even those who didn't sign.

We also added the top 30 July 2nd signings per MLB Pipeline, as well as quite a few of the lower level July 2nd guys.

Noticed the new view behind home plate. Thanks

This may be a silly question but I have never owned this game before in previous versions. Will the non-drafted free agents that have already signed after the draft be included into the player pool to be draft eligible when we start a new season after the update? Meaning the players that are already on team rosters that weren’t drafted but signed after the draft, will they be eligible for the draft when it comes up on the day in the game?

Any chance sign all Draft Picks to a contract next Pstch?

If you use the Live start, all the signed picks will be with their teams in this patch.

All that are currently in the db, yes.

There are probably around 30-40 UDFA's or so that we're still in the process of dding.

I downloaded this update and also do a "live start" and I'm not sure if there's a problem or if I'm doing it wrong... Some things I noticed Juan Then is still on the yankees. late round draft picks are in the game but are free agents and I don't see any of the international players on teams(unless if they come into game July 1st)

so im really not sure, if I'm hitting the wrong options or if there's an issue

What I'm talking about is in real life have to sign all Draft Picks to a Contract will that make it in the future or even own the rights to a Draft Pick but if not signed in like 4 years has to reenter Draft or becomes a Free-Agent.

Are there any animation fixes included in the "Several other small bug fixes and crash fixes" bucket?

Copy camera views to other stadia !
Yes !!

Feeling dumb about this but where is the ballpark editor? I really want to experiment with the camera views.

Just started to play with this. It is one of those "small" things that is a huge addition! Kind of the graphics equivalent of autocalc. Too cool :):):)

Excited for this improvement in particular. Thanks guys for taking my suggestion into account!

I can report no crashes or freezes with the latest update on my PC.

So the new view behind home plate is nice, the one behind CF does nothing for me because it's too far out. When selecting that view I'm outside the stadium, behind the wall, can't see anything.

The problem I'm having is, as soon as I create a custom view, then the HP and CF views are no longer available in game. Just the original wide and default show up plus my custom view. As you can see in the image, I have a custom view called "Catcher", and if you look at the drop down, only the original 2 views plus my custom view are available.

So creating a custom view seems to over write the new views.

2nd image is the new CF view at Kauffman

The CF view may well have to do with the fact I'm playing on a large monitor at 2560 x 1440.

The new views added were added for one park and we simply just copied them to all parks.Unfortunately due to the way stadiums are laid out or how models are created, for some parks, some of them might not work properly.

As for the first stadium, that to me looks like the default stadium, so something must have happened there to switch away from the field they should be on.

FWIW I'm on a pc and have not had any problem saving multiple additional views. IE 1b line, 3b line, LF-RF corners. Default views are still there. Looks like you are hitting the "replace current camera" (or whatever it's called) rather than "saving as new camera" (again, or whatever it's called).

I play on a 2560*1440 too and the only issue is the view starts outside the stadium same as you. You can either click on the zoom button and hold it down until the camera is in the stadium or hold "right click" (I think it's RC) and drag the field towards you until the camera is inside the stadium.

I anticipated, as Matt notes, that views would need tweaking to accommodate the different structure of each stadium. So I build my views in my home park (Wrigley), copy to each stadium, and then make adjustments from there. I've only done two other stadiums, so far, but was surprised at how little tweaking the new views needed. Having said that, so far, I've had to drag to fix the CF view for all three stadiums.
