Crazy RTTS Sim Numbers?

[allhailben7]

I'm in my 2nd year and having an incredible season: .339 with 14 HRs, 51 RBI and 23 steals... but that's nothing compared to the numbers I'm seeing from others:

Shin-Soo Choo has drawn 59 walks in 322 TPA, an 18.2% walk rate
Miguel Cabrera is batting .366 with 28 HR.
Hunter Pence (one of 3 total people ahead of me in AS voting) has played in all Giants games with a .345 BA, 24 HR and 75 RBI
Prince Fielder is batting .323 with 31 HR and 92 RBI.

Here's the thing... IT'S JUNE 24TH! Shin-Soo Choo is on pace for 123 Walks. Hunter Pence is on pace for 225 hits, 49 HR and 152 RBI. Cabrera is on pace for 62-65 HR, since he did his in 67 games. Fielder is on pace for 65 HR and 192 RBI.

3 pitchers already have 5 complete games and 25 have at least 3. Yu Darvish has a legitimate shot at 300 K's with 162 in 119 innings so far... his K/9 is 12.3. My Cubs team has 16 Complete Games.


Is anyone else seeing these numbers?

Heh, wait til you get into the 2020's, if you're not hitting over .350 you won't make the batting title top ten and pitchers have forgotten how to strike people out. If a SP has 50k's over a season he's elite :P.

Are you being serious?

Completely, the sim stats for when all the current players have retired has been completely broken for a few years now. But because few players get into the 2020's it's not widely spread knowledge. I think it's something to do with generated pitchers, they're all devoid of k/9.

See its things like this.. That makes me wonder why ppl get so fired up about franchise carry over. I mean what's the point if you know it's gonna be all screwed up in the future.
Something else I don't understand, why would SCEA even bother with the franchise carry over before fixing the long term franchise stats? Seems to me the cart before the horse.

It's even worse for RTTS players who cannot control all teams so stuff like this gets averted. We suffer through horrendous sim stats in the later years with no power to affect things.

Unless the future is really going to bring in stats like this.....

I'm partially not surprised. Seems like sports games start having issues (or at least play way differently) once all the "real" players retire. In some cases I think it helps (Madden always seems better for me with more and more "fake" players in the league).

I AM surprised it's this extreme, though. Wow.

Hopefully, the arrival of carryover means things like this have indeed been addressed under the hood.
