* World Series now has the same season-style board for lineups, pitching staffs, and historical stats that full seasons have. * You can move players between teams during season play now, instead of being stuck with the default rosters. * Player labels on the field show team colors. * The pitcher position popup shows strikeouts and walks now, along with the other stats already there.
Fixes
* Triple plays were happening too often. Fixed. * Intentional walks were sometimes issued with the bases empty. Doesn't happen in real baseball for the eras this game models. Fixed. * A baserunner could disappear from a base without being put out or scoring. Fixed. * Runners were getting thrown out at third on routine groundouts to second in spots that shouldn't produce a double play there. Fixed. * CPU baserunners weren't attempting steals at the rate they should. Fixed. * Pitchers were getting credited with putouts on pop-outs too often. Fixed. * The AI manager let a reliever bat instead of pinch-hitting late in a game while down by a lot. Fixed. * Pitchers were winning Player of the Game too often compared to position players. Award logic adjusted. * Auto-sim was restarting an in-progress game from scratch instead of picking up where it left off. Fixed. This one mattered if you rely on auto-sim.

* Fielder and marker positions no longer reset when you toggle the wide layout view. * Postseason/tournament series cards said "Play" even after you'd already started a series. Now says "Resume" when it should. * Scoreboard text and font color can be changed while in fielder positioning mode. * Forum: screenshots on posts earn karma now, and your profile page explains how karma is calculated.
