Yes, we have fixed a few of the reported issues, and once we have run some testing on it it will be the official release to go out.

One of the things I am now noticing is that many many young pitchers appear to have extremely high offensive tools (potential) this could very easily be the reason for so many high potential players. Is this on purpose?


EDIT: Note: This only seems to be happening when lowering scouting accuracy. I had it set to very low, and pitchers had 60 to 80 contact potential, and 60 to 80 power potential quite often. When I switch back to normal accuracy, these same pitching prospects fall in line with the usual 20's and 30's batting potentials.

I like the very low scouting accuracy, but having so many pitchers ranked so high offensively just kind of screws things up IMO.

The steam version SUCKS! Well it sucks if you like using add-ons. It uses a different system. It was promised that most of the add-ons would be added, but there are only a few. At least the ones added are the most popular ones.

Just wanted to say I found Lou Gehrig. My bad.

250 or 255?

Anyway, lesson learned, use 16-bit signed for R/H/E to allow people to run super-offense "arena" leagues.
