Hello guys. Here's a video showcasing a problem with the show.

Two flaws with your experiment to start.

H/ are basically for SIMMED GAMES.

....and there is no true zero for ratings. That just represents SCEA's lowest number of which there is no "none". I believe it is 20 or 25(as a representative #)...as they feel no athlete can truly be a "zero" in any aspect of the game.

so your saying a pitcher with 99/100 should be able to throw everything on the corners or borders same with hitters rated 100 should hit HR every AB

Yah. There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of the ratings system. Also , sliders help

Rookie level is also (unfortunately) not an accurate representative of ball to strike ratios.

And if you don't swing, HOF isn't either.

This test doesn't account for AI pattern recognition, even in Rookie. If you don't swing, get ready for a strike-fest.

You guys still haven't come up with a good explanation to why pitchers with very control ratings are able to pinpoint their pitchers as though aces on EVERY difficulty setting.

Probably because they don't. Even on All-Star (with a few tweaks), I have CPU aces both grooving pitches and missing well out of the zone. I just knocked David Price out in the fifth inning of my last game after scoring like 7 runs off him.

I'm not saying that good pitchers don't have off days, but when pitchers with poor pitching ratings are able to consistently paint corners on every start, there is a definite problem.
