Latest build- there are two issues I'm noticing now that I haven't seen before:

-On the 'Simulating...' screen (screen that displays standings and leaderboards while simming), sometimes the GB calculation seems to be off by a half game. My team was 70-47, Boston was 69-47, and yet I was 3 games back of the division leader, and Boston was 2.5 games back, and my team was listed below Boston in the standings. I've only just started noticing this, so can't put my finger on exactly what the game is doing wrong, but I've now seen it a few times. Hopefully others can look out for this issue. I haven't noticed an issue on the Standings page, but have yet to look carefully.

-At the end of Spring Training, I can demote many players who are out of options to AAA without passing them through waivers. I can't figure out why I can demote some players while bypassing waivers, while for others I get the 'The player is out of option years and has to clear waivers...' message. Again, I don't recall seeing this pre-patch, but have now seen it so often I could easily provide screen shots. The players are definitely out of options- I've just demoted a guy on the Transaction screen with a + next to his name with no need for waivers. This only seems to affect Spring Training.

-Lastly, in case anyone wants to incorporate this in the final patch, I had customized my english.xml file by modifying all of the injury news items to read more cleanly (it took about 10 minutes to do), and noted the changes I made in this thread:

In particular, by using the [%injurydescription] field for all news items, I could avoid the 'Player X will miss time with a back spasms', or 'Player X is suffering from fractured femur' news item problems. When I patched, the xml file was overwritten, but I don't mind doing the xml file edits again and sending them on if it would be helpful.
