Does HR/9 matter outside of simulations when the CPU is involved
-
"HR/9 (Home Runs per 9 Innings) is a pitching attribute in MLB The Show that reduces exit velocity and home run frequency in CPU simulations and non-user-controlled at-bats." is the definition I've found for HR/9.
Why is "CPU simulations" and "non-user-controlled at-bats" separate? Does that mean if a human is pitching against a CPU in franchise mode that the attribute matters? Or if you watch CPU vs CPU in game? It'd be great to have some clarification on this from someone that actually knows and isn't just regurgitating years old info from diamond dynasty.

No, it's only for simulation
-
'Non-user-controlled at-bats' could mean anytime the user isn't controlling the pitcher in a non-simulated game. eg if the user is batting, or is player locked as a baserunner or fielder.

Hr/9 is only for simulation

According to a developer named Brian several years ago HR/9 doesn't matter when playing games.
-
Basically HR/9 matters if you are hands off in game.
- Simmed game
- Player locked as a non pitcher
If you are player locking as a pitcher, it won't matter.
One strat I do is I player lock 2 games a week. One as a PP and one as a SP. Ill go with the lowest HR/9 rated guy in my rotation to lock as
