Clarification on how Paralleling improves a pitcher?
-
Obviously the H/9 and K/9 improve but how exactly does it effect the control, break, and velocity of the pitcher?
Have you guys actually experimented and tracked a difference between a stock card and a parallel 4 or 5? Specifically with pitch speed, break, and control.

No I have long been curious about this as well and I dont think anyone actually knows

I bought Fernando last night and have him close to parallel 1. I’ll review everything beforehand and let you know tonight.

Would be interesting of this makes a 94 sinker a 95 sinker.

To be totally honest this is the first year with this parallel stuff I’ve played.
It doesn’t seem to make a blind bit of difference.

I feel like half the point of DD is to rosterbate regularly and paralleling definitely enhances your experience.

Ok so here is what I have seen on the changes from parallels I just got 99 Rivera CP & T. Hunter CF to P1
Rivera attribute boost goes to
STA H/9 K/9 BB/9 CTRL VEL FLD ARM ACC REACHunter attribute boost goes to all his attributes.

I’ve gotten 42 Pedro to superfractor and his base fastball sat around 94 and topped out at 97. His superfractor card has a base fastball of 96 topping out twice at 100 mph. It’s significant. All his pitches have silly movement too. So I wouldn’t discount the attribute jump. It’s better than last years prestige cards

@genopolanco_PSN @Ikasnu_PSN @Speedy44_PSN
So I checked several pitchers by going into my custom league (parallel is inactive in custom leagues) and comparing to the cards I have paralleled in DD. All the main attributes (stamina, H/9, etc) go up 1 with each parallel. However, it did not do a single thing to any individual pitches (not even a slight bump in velocity, control, or break). This was across several pitchers and some were at parallel 3. -

I have him close to III, but his Slider still gets smacked around. Same with Sale, but I play offline so....

From my personal experience it doesn’t seem like velocity necessarily changes but it seems like they are more likely to “top out” more consistently. Could just be placebo though.

Ya I have over 150 inning with Glavine and his era is still below 2.5. I absolutely love the card
