Walks and strikeouts are through the roof...the edits don't even knock them down to exact MLB levels, because there would be drastic gameplay changes if I edited them like that (which would be, by my experimentation, -25 K/9 and -35 plate discipline). Its pretty bad.

Averages are a touch high, but in this case, with user averages also being a bit high, I think that its better to stay even with the user than have everyone hitting .267 and the user team hitting .285. In the seasons I simmed, the league average was .273 on average, which is 5 points above.

And yes, personally I'll be editing all my pitchers K/9 back up to default when I start my dynasty...its not a bad idea if you have trouble striking out guys. However the CPU should still strike you out with consistency (well, at least they did for me), and still draw walks just fine.\

NL Central and West to go, then I'll sim a couple seasons just to make sure nothing crazy is happening, and then upload.

Trust me, I'm taking what you give us. Fudge or no fudge.

Jim, thanks for everything you did in making this awesome roster.

the aub, are u fixing any hitting ratings "mistakes" like D.Easley beeing a super hitter agasint lefties?

the A's have toons of mistakes too, like bobby crosby contact letting him hit .300 (his more of a .260 hitter) i really dont know where SCEA got their ratings from...crosby never hit over .276...evan in his best year, 2004 where he was rookie of the year he batted .239

i think those adjustments(we could use last season as base) are really needed.

i think kinght wont be doing his MLB rating edit version since ure doing it now right?

That wasn't love. They were laughing at you.

Actually sounds like a bunch of Vietnam Vets in a Veterans Day march. Course bein' drunk doesn't help.

Knight, thanks a ton for all the long days and nights you put into this. Now you can slack up on the coffee.
