    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.

    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 REAC

    Hunter 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

    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....

    Ya I have Glavine and Feller at level 5 and their velocity has never changed but i do feel like their era has gotten better

    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
