Update 6 has been submitted to certification! And did we mention PRACTICE MODE?!

Update 6 has officially been submitted to platform certification! We know you have been eagerly awaiting this update, so we’d love to share more info with you while you wait just a tiny bit longer to fire up those Franchises and play. The certification process is out of our hands so we don’t have an ETA for you, but we hope Update 6 will be in your hands very soon.

CAREER STATS:

• View past season and all-time league leaders in home runs, RBIs, strikeouts, and more, accumulated throughout the Franchise playthrough.

• Go back and view standings and playoff brackets from previous seasons.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• We’ve heard concerns about fielding error odds, so we’ve made some small tweaks and added feedback as to why the fielder dropped the ball and how likely they were to do so.

• We’re also tweaking retirement odds so players under 30 are far less likely to retire, and players 40+ are more likely to retire.

• There are other balance changes in areas including AI batting, pitching mini-game difficulty, fielder selection, passed ball and wild pitch rates and the CPU’s Sign & Release decisions in Franchise mode.

PRACTICE MODE:

• Surprise! Play an endless game where you choose to either always bat or always pitch.

These are just some key points about the three major components of Update 6 – it’s not an exhaustive list. When the update is pushed out, we’ll post the full patch notes as usual. We’re also working on a post that will share more about Career Stats before the update goes live – so you’ll be hearing from us again soon!
