What setting do you have them set at? Average, Personalized or Perfect?. I keep mine at Personalized so it adds some personality to the umpires. I tried Average for a month in my Franchise last year, it was okay. If you want to pretend you have robot umpires, set it to Perfect. Now here's a hot pocket and red bull.

Haha oh, yeah there are some terrible umps out there but at least it's not as bad as NBA officiating.

I was watching the Nats versus the Diamondbacks a few days ago. The home plate umpire, Benjamin May, was randomly calling strikes on both sides of the plate. It's not like they were close either, I mean they were obvious balls. He was really random with the top of the zone also. The batters started swinging at everything because they had no idea of what he was going to call.
So next day, he is the third base umpire. At some point, the catcher asks if the batter went around and May rung him up. During the replay you can see the batter barely moved his bat, and it was clearly a checked swing. That guy is horrible.

It seems like the worst because the bad games get highlighted, while the well called games go unnoticed. With that said, some of the games have absolutely been horrible!
I suggest you look up on YouTube, last seasons World Series where the ump was either perfect or near perfect anyway. Just so you can realize there are some decent umps out there.
Found the video on the search, World Series Umpire Perfect Game, Jomboy has a great video on it.

Makes sense since the WS crew selection is based on how high their season rating is….or at least it used to be ….until Angel Hernandez said he was never selection due to Racism and Discrimination….they discriminated against him because he is the most terrible Umpire ever In MLB history.

I can absolutely appreciate a well-called game and prefer that to be the case, but I'm okay with a few mistakes.
But a bad umpire can change the entire course of a game, just because he's bad. I don't think anybody wants that, and some are so bad that you can't really just chalk it up to being human. Some people just suck at their job but you rarely have a million people bearing witness to it.
