Markus, was there an update to the pre-game screen?

Thanks for the patch guys!

What will the above two changes do in a standard MLB game?

Did the issue with major league level teams not purchasing players (stars) from lesser leagues get resolved in this patch ?

Yes, that should be in the patch. It won't correct players who already got that game listed for them, but should prevent it going forward.

Thank you. I've been waiting for that bug to be fixed since launch. Thank you so much.

Are the stats vs. the day's starting pitcher back on the pre-game options screen?

I know you mentioned it in one post as being something that would be adjusted/changed. Markus also mentioned in a post after the last patch that it would be worked on.

Inquiring minds want to know... can you reveal the circumstances that led to this bug? It's sort of a fascinating bug, imo.

Basically when we re-initialize a game that was suspended, we ended up with the wrong team in some cases on some batting stats.

Thanks! I love insights like that. Baseball and OOTP are complex games and getting the nuance of every possible interaction has to be a real challenge.

I just added the new patch and have seen a significant delay as the pitcher goes through it's follow through before the ball heads towards home plate. Not every pitch and not every pitcher, but quite often. I haven't seen that until this latest patch.

Thanks!

Is it intentional that Position Player Fatigue setting, which was previously 'Moderate(Average)', was changed to 'High' in 25?

This wasn’t changed in the patch. That’s the default this year.

I agree and also the ball strike sound plays long before the pitcher is done with windup quite often.

Will the top prospect fix work on a current save? My scout is still showing all rookie and international players as the top prospects and so is BNN.

It won't change until the next time the prospect list is regenerated.

Hi,
Another graphic issue has come up with the new patch...on some bloop singles into the outfield, the animation seems to show the outfielder catching or trapping the ball, only to have it roll behind them, then the outfielder quickly jumps back to field the ball, like it was just a single hit right to them.

This happens probably 3x per game.

Orioles owner is still listed as Angelos. The sale was approved before opening day, so I think David Rubenstein should be listed as the new owner on season start.
