If you paid a bit more attention you'd notice that many agree with me and many fall between you and I in terms of what they believe.
The opinion of the forum is not quite as black and white as you make it out to be.
Ok
Seems like you have it figured out. Do you just want us all agree and praise your genius. Were you just seeing how many people agreed with you. If so was that to find truth or ego stroke? Don’t answer...great idea.Nope, and I feel like we reached a common ground with many posters - excluding you of course - which deviate to an extent from my OP. One might call that a success?
Ideally, this post could also work to inform SDS that we would like some transparency when it comes to batting and pitching outcomes.

So people agreeing s a success why? Agreement doesn’t make it more true. Does it just make you feel better, like a hug. This might help

Sigh.
Yes, people agreeing can be a success, especially if they started at a difference of opinion. I suppose you could call that a failure as well, but that's your prerogative.
Ultimately all these posts display to SDS that we dont understand why the batting averages on good/squareds deviate so much from real life and why we have so little influence on pitching outcomes even with perfect inputs.
Perhaps these types of posts will eventually encourage SDS to become a bit more transparent and maybe even explain why the amount of RNG seems to be increasing every year.

First of all, I have to say that I really appreciate that you (the moderators/admins who monitor this forum) only removed the posts which were not on topic. It shows that you both follow what is said and that you enable the members to voice out their opinions, even ask questions.
With that in mind, I would like the share my most recent experience, which largely coincides with what I've stated earlier in this thread. I would also like to add, that it would be more than appreciated if you (SDS) were able - and willing - to relay some additional information our way.
In my most recent ranked seasons game, I played vs. a player currently ranked somewhere in the 40's all time (anyone interested can go check my match-up history). Being ranked so high, it goes without saying that my opponent has a very good record for the year. I think he has also placed in the top 50 multiple times this year.
As we were both in the 800's during the match-up, the game was played on hall of fame -difficulty.
In the end, I won the game 11 - 4, while outhitting my opponent 15 - 8.
After the game, I looked at the PCI analysis for both of us, as I always do. I noticed that I had some red 15's, but that clearly over 50 percent of my 15's landed as base-hits, maybe closer to like 70 percent. I also had three base-hits with a hit-chance of 9. That's more than I have ever had in a single game.
What's most striking to me, again, is that I have had high base-hit percentages on 15's in the past as well, but it only ever happens when I play against players with either similar or better record than me. When I play vs. players with worse records the base-hit percentage of my 15's automatically drops.
I guess I would like to hear from other players if they've had opposite experiences (which would mean that I'm simply consistently getting unlucky vs. players with worse records) and from SDS some type of an explanation as to why my own experiences with the game-play are what they are.

I have been paying close attention more to pitch confidence. I noticed that it plays a bigger role than I thought. Pitch confidence reduces meatballs and increases the chance that the ball will be hit right at someone. It’s tough to notice while hitting but pay attention while pitching and it becomes VERY clear. In pressure spots especially
-
Events frustrate me because it is very obvious there is something going on. Not so much close games but if I take a large lead. In this event alone I can play opponents who flail as hard as you can for two innings and you just tell they are newer to the game. If you go up by 4 or more runs it doesn’t matter what you do.
You been using your gold/silver bullpen and manhandle your opponent then bring in diamond Nen to close the game. Weird after 46 foul balls it’s an annoying seeing eye single then a bloop hit. Or now a 48 pwr guy just pulled a slider away early swing for 410ft.
So many times there is business that happens allowing your opponent to get the tying run to the plate then reality kicks in and your opponent can’t do anything and you win.
It’s happens so many times it’s not a coincidence. That being said I’m sure our bias judgment makes up for a lot of blurred truth at times. I also believe we are sometimes put into situations to see if we can work out of them to add an excitement factor. In ranked it’s not this bad but events seems like a whole different animal
