    20 games in franchise mode and ive noticed, regardless of umpire, that the cpu strike zone is roughly 1.5X bigger than the users making it impossible to take pitches when you have no idea what the strike zone is. also cpu pitchers are somehow able to throw pitch after pitch middle cut and never get punished. At least 10-15 pitches a game are thrown middle middle and its an automatic pop out no matter who is batting.
    Also i dont understand how the cpu can perfectly execute a drag bunt when they have sub 50 drag bunting or steal a base with 60 speed and 40 stealing when i cant steal a base with 88 speed and 75 stealing.

    Can we please get a balancing patch for franchises mode?
    I know you dont care about franchise players because we dont spend an extra 300 playing a stupid online card game but it would be nice to feel heard and appreciated for buying your game every year

    I agree with your base stealing concern, but I haven't had any issue with the other things you mentioned. A patch to balance base stealing and CPU pickoffs would be nice. If I get any lead at all on 1st it's way too common for my guy to be picked off.

    Same. Pickoffs needs an adjustment. I have no issues with the strike zone or meatballs.

    Are you talking the display of the strike zone, or how umps are calling it? You can change the view to make the displayed strike zone different. Try playing around with Pitching View to see different options. If you are talking about bad calls, there is a setting to have individual umps call slightly different strike zones and occasionally make mistakes, or have perfect calls every time. I think you can only set that one time when you start the mode.

    But for the record, I pretty much only play Franchise and haven't noticed issues with meatballs not being punished. But I play on Zone hitting with Veteran difficulty.
