That was contradicted by Matt before you posted.
Right in this thread, before your post, Matt stated a goal to not have LTMs and also that he considers the effort most of the way there. Do you think the devs can't do that?

He did not say his goal was to not have LTMs. He said..

That's not removing them, is it? I then simply said I liked what Matt was saying.
Would you like to hear the first conspiracy theory if LTM's were to disappear?
They are still there, just hidden under the hood, with autocalc also being run under the hood. "The users will never figure it out. We are just too damn smart!" followed by an "evil laugh".

I am?

I literally said the game creates a video that represents the result of the play, and the play comes from where? The engine. I also noted that the 3d is a WIP and we may find fault in how the play is shown. I honestly have no idea if you only skimmed my post or ignored the content?
With regard to the 3d I can only say, if you play out a game and have never seen a gb to ss and thought "DP" only to see the runner from first is already to close to 2b for a play to be made you must not be watching. This happens not just for the AI team, but also for my team, with baserunning set to AI, meaning the AI started that runner, not me.
My original point of coming into the thread was to show the AI does use H&R, for both AI teams and human teams (something you claimed it does not do) with AI controlled baserunning.
Your answer, as I read it, seemed to at least give credence to my explanation. However you said something about the pbp doesn't say "the runner goes". My reply is above in an earlier post, but the general thought is the pbp doesn't go into detail for many things.
If you remove a P because he gave up a pair of flyballs to the track because it's a sign he's losing it, I don't know what to say. It's not something I'd ever do, but feel free to manage how you manage.

As stated above he does not say there is a goal to "get rid of them".
At the end of the day v26 will not be a data update only. The masses would revolt even more than they do now, even if/when there is a big under the hood update. As they also do if there is a big update we can see. According to many, no matter what they do, the only thing a new version brings is a "roster update".
