I think a camera shot or at least some kind of face would be great. As far as him being in your line up he is only for walkoff. It is at the top. He won't be on your regular team for events.
I really liked walk off at first. Now its become extremely difficult. Crazy un-hittable sliders. If you swing you miss. If you let it go by somehow its a strike. I think it should have to throw a fastball at least once every 3 pitches so you have a chance
I've never seen anything like that. I did notice a significant improvement in game play and strange things like that when I recently upgraded my device.
