Release 2.5.0
-
This morning we deployed fixes for MM behavior during substitutions and slow MM games, including:
- Where game play would be slow to update while pitching vs micromanagers
- Micromanagers would replace the players pitcher when the Manager would pinch hit
- Autoplay where Managers were incorrectly counting runs and swapping numerous times because of it
Thanks,

@RandySteinman Hi Randy!
Thanks for sending this in.
This issue is being fixed and should resolve with duplicate entries retroactively removed.
Thanks,
Support -
@striker2550 Hi,
A subscription can be cancelled any time.
You will lose access to features and functionality that you haven’t paid for outside of a subscription, but your data will remain should you either purchase Unlocks or re-sub.
Thanks,
Jeremy -
@APBA-GO-Jeremy Always glad to do what I can to help resolve.
One other thing I just noticed… these multiple player/stat issues only happened with the Dodgers, who were the home team. No problems with the visiting team (the 1971 Pirates), even though they also substituted players during the game.
If that helps. -
@RandySteinman Thank you!
We’ll be deploying a fix first thing Monday morning that should clean everything up.
Thanks,
Jeremy -
@APBA-GO-Jeremy thank you for the update.
Suggestion: Offer us a free month on our subscriptions. The game has basically been unplayable, for me, for three weeks. Three weeks plus, if Monday’s update doesn’t fix everything. -
Hi all!
Today we posted fixes for:
- data fix for boxscore duplicate entries
- frontend fix for boxscore duplicate entries
- lineups not saving correctly in some circumstances
- foreign characters in the manual dice entry field will no longer lock up the game
We have some more work on boxscores coming, and a few other 2.5.0 fixes will be added to the list in the first post later today.
Thanks,
Jeremy -
@APBA-GO-Jeremy That recent Pirates-Dodgers’ box score in my Game History now looks correct. :+1:
-
The box score I tested, where a player who pinch hit and stayed in the game is, in fact, corrected.
However, another player who pinch hit and didn’t stay in is listed as having played that position, rather than as a pinch hitter. (Joc Pederson, in this case) This could make a real mess if it happens on seasons without the DH.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy, Problems with Pedro.
A) With a 6 to 1 lead in the top of the fourth, Pedro pinch hit for his pitcher. I’m assuming this is an error with Pedro.
B) Top of the 9th, Pedro pinch hit for his pitcher. But, bottom of the 9th, Pedro made a line up change of putting the same pitcher back in, the one who was just pinch hit for. And yes, there was another pitcher available.
I have submitted a report to support.
-
@striker2550 Could really use the pbp file for this one.
Thanks,
Jeremy -
@APBA-GO-Jeremy, I just emailed the file to support.
-
@APBA-GO-Jeremy Is the three-batter rule OPTIONAL or now MANDATORY in the APBAGO Game? Asking for our league…
-
@APBA-GO-Jeremy Thank you. Follow Up question as MLB continues to consider goofy rules (I was going to use another adjective but…). Will any other rules be considered for potential implementation? Runner on 2nd base in extra innings, etc.?
Note: Not a fan of these changes so happy to see them as OPTIONAL.
-
@RobNPR Unfortunately I do not know the future of MLB, or what Alpharetta will ask us to implement in terms of rules.
I can say that as a game that strives to respect the rules of all eras of baseball, their implementation will always be as a flag set during game creation.
Thanks,
Jeremy -
Today we released 2.5.10, which contains the last of the 2.5.0 fixes.
It includes:
- Lineups that persist and accurately represent defensive ratings where appropriate
- Corrections to in-game lineups when using an iPad/tablet. The process of subbing a player should be less punishing
- PH/PRs are correctly labeled in boxscores; players are chronologically ordered; end of game and game history boxscores align
- Opening a player card during lineup selection will no longer result in a blank card
- Game will correctly award a Win to a pitcher replaced by a pinch hitter replaced by a pinch runner
- Fixed an issue where a Pitcher swapped in as a pinch player and kept in the pitching position would cause a grade decrease
- Fixed an issue where a Pinch player, that was a pitcher, that was “the same handedness” as the opposing team’s pitcher would receive a grade increase
Known issues:
- Collections -> pitching stats -> pitching stats are not visible; they exist and will be restored shortly.
- Support email - still intermittent; should resolve itself shortly.
As usual, please let us know if there is anything still wrong with lineup selection or boxscores, or anything else you may find.
Thanks,
Jeremy -
Hi everyone
- Pitching stats are back in Collections
- Support email is working again
Thanks,
Jeremy -
Glad to see this fixed! It seemed to have functioned correctly for my games today, except for the loss of the pitchers of record under the line score (which I mentioned elsewhere).
One thing I thought was worth mentioning… the fix to have the pitchers in the correct order seems to have applied retroactively, but the listing guys as a PH did not. not sure if that was by design, but thought it was worth noting.
-
@APBA-GO-Jeremy , 1) Fixing the ability to change starting lineups on a tablet now works. Thank you! That’s a BIG improvement! :)
- Not sure if should submit this to support. Pedro makes a very bad baseball decision. He will let his pitcher bat and make the last out of the inning. Then immediately change the pitcher for a relief pitcher. He should have pinch hit for his pitcher instead of letting him hit… While not a game play issue, it is a glaring managerial mistake.
