This game seems to favor certain pitches every year...
-
Last year in MLB21 I noticed an interesting trend. Pitchers that in prior years that threw 2-Seam fastballs suddenly all threw sinkers.
This year, it seems pitchers that threw change ups now suddenly the majority all throw circle change ups.
Am the only person that noticed this? I think the developers are putting their own personal taste into pitcher repertoire.

I noticed it too

Because sinkers and two-seamers are effectively identical IRL.
This year, it seems pitchers that threw change ups now suddenly the majority all throw circle change ups.
The most common change up thrown in the MLB this season is the circle change. Again, this is how it is IRL.

Sinkers and two seamers break differently, they’re not identical IRL

They're pretty close. Sinkers get a bit more run but thats it, Statcast can't even tell the difference sometimes.
