that is incorrect. team homescreen, info, ballpark is how you change stadiums.

i did look, and it is in customize. i've never actually looked there. it didn't crash on the new patch, i can confirm. but you definitely don't need that screen to change stadiums.

Okay. But to customize my team let’s say name and uninform I click customize team on the overview page the game crashes.

yes. are you sure you're on the new one? i tried it, it crashed, updated to the new one, and it's fine.

Version says 27.2.60

I downloaded the hot fix two different times. Even uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

Is this fixed with the hotfix? I am not downloading until it is fixed.

Try adjusting your font size in settings. That's all I did to fix it on my screen.

Hey everyone, I am playing on a MacBook M4 Pro and I've noticed after this most recent update that the player tool "bars" are much smaller than the other bars (for the advanced stats, stealing, etc).

To be more specific, the bars for things like power, eye, gap power, etc. Am I going crazy / was this intentional?

Edit: for the record it's not anything I've done as far as like window size or anything, it appears to be in the game itself. I've played daily for the last 3-4 days or so, both pre and post-patch, so I think it's something in this patch. It's not the worst thing in the world, if intentional, but it is a little not uniform and causing some eyestrain because the bars are VERY thin / small now.

Hi, we adjusted slightly to give another row to the recent games, but it should not have removed much space from the top section. Can you post a screenshot, and let us know what resolution you are playing on?

[moshinturtle]

I am at work but will reply back with a screenshot after work. Hopefully I have a “before” screenshot somewhere also

So do we have to physically download this update or should it already be done in game? Also do we have to start a new career or will it just work with my current play through? Like the prospect potentials and etc? Sorry if this seems obvious. Just got the game for the first time this year so still figuring things out.

If you have the steam version it will automatically update, if you have the fastspring version you need to download the new version from the site. You can continue your career but some changes may take time to show up.

Can we get some transparency around the changes to amateurs? This feels like a pretty drastic change to characterize as "slightly" in the changelog. Can you explain in more depth what you were trying to do, so that we can know whether this is working as intended or a bug?

[Dijon-Main]

Please for the love of God do not listen to the people asking for the inflated amateur ratings to return. The way it is now is both realistic and preferable.

[moshinturtle]

Agreed, seeing multiple future hall of fame caliber players in every draft class (and they were deep) was absurd.

I'm actually realizing I'm not sure how to post a screenshot, I feel incredibly stupid.

Perhaps the devs feel that this change has been for the better. If so, they should say so and explain their reasoning, rather than glossing over it offhandedly. It makes it difficult to tell if such a radical change was even intended. Surely, whatever your feelings about the change, you will agree that it is not "slight" as it is described in the patch notes.

The intention was for future years drafts to come out with the same talent levels that you have in the 2026 roster set draft. There should still be a couple elite options, and still a number of average or above average players to pick from.

We did also adjust the scouting of prospects to not as massively over-rate them as they used to, so I'm guessing what most people are adjusting to is both of those at once too. We'll keep paying attention to the feedback and balance, it's possible we might bring things back up a little if we think this went too far in one direction.

Hey everybody! Been lurking for a while but this is my first post. Has anyone else had issues with the game completely freezing when you try to vote for players for the All-Star Game or end of season Awards? Every time I try to go into those since the update, the game locks up.

Thank you Matt. Whether it needs further adjustment or not this change was a needed. I think we all need to be patient and give this time to see how it works.
It will be important to not just look at the draft on draft day, but also follow the players and see how they perform, develop, and what type of stats they put up. Instead of drafting a 65 and having him regress to 50, we now draft a 50 and have him blossom into a 60 or 65. One of those is exciting, the other depressing(and expected behavior before this patch).

I'd agree that much of what is being reported is due to how the scouts are viewing the players now, compared to before this patch. It can be a shock going from an overrated view to a more realistic view of ratings. It may take awhile for users to get used to the idea that the players haven't changed. They are still the same, and should end up playing as they always have. Patience and time will prove this out, or show us another adjustment is needed.

Please let's give this time and see how it works, and not "fix" it based on knee jerk reactions.

We went through something similar when the underlying player skill ratings went from the 255(?) scale to the scale we have now of 600+. Before this change a player in my league had to be 50/80 to 55/80 to be an every day player. Stars had to be more like 65/80. Not realistic. With the 600+ scale stars are now 55/80 with some stars being 50-54/80's if not going by 5's. 40/80 may be an every day player if he has one or two good tools. 45/80 can be an every day player. These changes were all good for the game. These changes also received some negative reaction when implemented. "How come my star 65/80 RF dropped to 55/80 when I imported my game to the new version?" was a common post. But what happened in game? That 55/80 was still a star with the new 600+ scale.
