@mikeb_002_psn said in Attribute improvement:
I’ve always questioned why there’s a power attribute for right handed and left handed pitchers. I feel like power is power, it doesn’t change depending on a righty or lefty is pitching. Contact and vision is obviously different between righty and lefty pitchers but you can’t say realistically that Giancarlo Stanton has different overall power against a righty than he does a lefty. He can hit it 500 ft off of anybody. Now whether he hits 300 against righties and 250 against lefties is a different story.
Also for fielding, maybe to make it a little more realistic for infielders, you can add fielding ability to his glove side and then fielding ability with the backhand. Every infielder is different some are better with their backhand than others.
And for arm strength, allow an increase for your ballplayer on certain plays in the hole maybe or on slow roller where he has to throw it on the run. It doesn’t make sense that it increases more when he makes an underhand toss to 2nd to turn a double play but on a backhand play in the hole it doesn’t.
Just a couple suggestions there. Otherwise I do think this is the best sports game and thank you if you guys actually read any of these.
What about players like Joc Pederson - his career numbers
Against RHP he hits a HR about once in every 15 at bats (92 PWR Vs R in the game)
Against LHP he hits a HR about once in every 40 at bats (39 PWR Vs L in the game)
It's not an overall strength attribute. It is something to try and coincide with how his power numbers are in real life.
