Patch notes:
General Gameplay
Fixed a bug that would prevent the Ump at Home from making a call in certain situations.
Fixed an issue that would sometimes prevent pause timers from counting down when controllers were disconnected.
Fixed a rare issue that would cause the game to freeze when balls were hit into foul territory.
Batters pressing R2 to view the pitch history will no longer impact the gesture portion of Pinpoint Pitching for the defensive player. If R2 is pressed at the same time or after the pitch motion is started, R2 will no longer interrupt the defensive user. If the batter presses R2 before the pitch motion has started, the motion will not start.
Fixed a bug that would cause a freeze on or around 3B in certain situations.
Users will now be notified when their pitcher is getting tired when 25% energy is remaining.
Continued balance for Pitcher Energy in 3 inning modes: We’ve reduced pitcher energy by 15% but more importantly, we have also reduced energy lost per pitch. This will result in being able to use relievers longer and more effectively.
DEV NOTE: You might think this is backtracking from the update we put out on 4/12 where we increased RP and SP energy, but this rebalance, specifically the reduction in energy lost per pitch, will ultimately result in pitchers being able to throw more pitches.
