Is skill becoming less relevant?

@The_Joneser no I get that. Everyone in here loves baseball. Doesn’t take away from this is in fact a video game. If it is just a bunch of randomness and the cpu dictates when I get a hit or not then what’s the point of playing when you can just watch your favorite team in real life and accomplish the same thing.

@bryan44177, it isn't simply random; it's input tempered by situational attribute-based chance, and there's plenty of control over the game to distinguish it from the passive activity of watching... I don't want Tyler Nevin to have just as good a chance of scorching a line drive as Ronald Acuna Jr if I place a target properly, and I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would.

It is ironic that SDS said that "the PCI is not the bat" and then gave us a bat PCI reticle. lolhttps://www.reddit.com/r/MLBTheShow/comments/t672rw/pci_does_not_represent_the_bat/

@xElRojo44x, it's understandable, though... sometimes catering to people's misconceptions and playing off of their inability to understand what is actually happening can increase their engagement. Lots of real world examples of that phenomenon all around us...
