- Update 2 Patch Notes - 30 June 2023
IMPROVEMENTS In Franchise mode, you can now simulate games from the Season Schedule screen just like in Season mode. Manager Moment resolutions are automated when games are simulated in this fashion. In Pennant Race and Online Leagues using random or fixed starting pitchers, an "unscheduled" starting pitcher without a Two Way trait can no longer be inserted into the starting lineup. This prevents an exploit where an "unscheduled" starting pitcher in the rotation could enter to pitch if put in the starting lineup and later swapped defensive positions with the active pitcher in game. Batted ball sound effects have been updated. "Bigger" effects now tend to happen less frequently and are more reserved for harder hit balls. Logo size and placement on uniforms has been modified to increase the amount of space that the logo occupies on the front of the jersey. Lighting improvements have been…
