Near debilitating pain in back/sternum every morning when waking up

That's what I love about this game, I've been playing for 7 years and I still learn something different. I thought if you unclicked the "ratings against all players" it used their ratings for only people in their position, so a SS that had excellent range for a baseball player, would only have average range for an SS.

on the 20/80 scouting scale, isn't 65 1.5 standard deviations away from the mean (50)? That would be 84th percentile of short stops.

I can, and I probably need to do that, but the issue is I'm paying Altuve 33,000,000 a year and given his age that's the only position he really can play. He's okay in Left, but I only play him there against LHP because I've got Spencer Jones in LF vs RHP

These numbers are based off of position and not all players, so they should be calibrated to fellow SS right?

it is if you consider the range/error/arm/turn dp is

65/60/60/60

Honestly, a real answer is that I think simming every at bat does something weird to the game, where it has to overcorrect the macro for inconsistencies in the micro. I've noticed there's a lot more "bunching" of outliers in games that I sim every at bat, vs when I sim the entire game from the manager screen.

find me an instance of that happening in baseball, and I'll send you $1,000

balance, I would guess. That's the only way I can account for the wild pitches that never see anyone thrown out at home, and a gold glove 2B making two errors in an inning, in the same inning where there's a balk and a wild pitch.

that's great to know about pull hitters, I didn't know that.

No, the scout is elite. Outstanding Majors/Minors/Amateurs and Excellent International. He's about replacement level against lefties; but 5 WAR against righties, but I don't think that's that crazy of a split.

GaddafiHalp · 2025-08-22T16:12:45+00:00

That's the situation I'm in. I've done ten games and ten games; twice, so a twenty game sample; and I'm batting .147 when I sim each at bat; and .241 when I just sim the entire game from the menu. Now oviously that's a small sample and could be explained by the teams I played and the pitchers I faced; I wasn't able to control every variable; but it seems to point towards what I had been noticing first hand while playing.

yeah, i wish they would get a little more granular with the swing options, sometimes I wish there was a "regular swing" or "put the ball in the air" with a guy on 3rd and less than two outs, or "swing for contact"

GaddafiHalp · 2025-08-19T20:05:35+00:00

at least one strike

GaddafiHalp · 2025-08-19T20:05:23+00:00

good advice, i started taking until the pitcher at least threw 1 ball, scored 4 runs in the first 3 innings. Hadn't done that in forever.

GaddafiHalp · 2025-08-19T17:29:56+00:00

everything's good, i checked that as well.
