    @MarinerMatt01_PSN you are looking at the top rated players. And i dont mind seeing 400 averages, it’s of a game and should be fun and higher scoring than real baseball. But 400 averages are far from the norm trust me. Anyone with over a combined 300 batting average is a good player in this game. No one wants to sit in a 9 inning game every other game with 2 to 1 scores. Striking out 10 times a game, with a combined 5 hits. Id rather watch paint dry if that was the case. Making pitching even more dominating is a bad idea. They already changed the strike zone because of posts like this

    I’m sorry, but that’s baseball. I get that the majority of the player base doesn’t care about pitching and would rather mash x and play slo pitch softball but some us enjoy the art of pitching and would like to play a somewhat realistic baseball game

    @MarinerMatt01_PSN it actually is pretty realistic. Most players that play this game do not hit over 300 averages. Id say the average player hits 250 ish good players are over 300, and elite players are over 400. Cheaters are closer to 500 lol.. and what's wrong with this? Its a game good players should hit better.

    Yeah could have potentially been a stupid move but I sold off posada. Just can’t justify keeping him in when I could have 100k instead and there’s a free salvy in the game. He was doing fine offensively hitting .313 but defence was hard to watch salvys defence looks better for not much worse offence.

    I knew this would be an unpopular post and I’m aware I’m in the minority here, but [censored], I miss the days where every game wasn’t a 10-9 slugfest against the same eight switch hitters.

    I want to believe that the content team is trying to help the community, since the gameplay director doubled down on PCI shkrinkage, content team is basically giving him the middle finger and releasing all possible switch hitters to combat it

    Switch hitters aren't to help us, they are to exploit us

    This is a product of two things:

    PCI shrinkage. They can't fix it so their solution is to release switch hitters.

    Other being a lot of people can't hit without them so it makes them spend a lot of stubs to get them.

    I find pitchers with significant opposite hand h/9 to be quite effective such as Al Leiter.
