    People in this thread just want to see you post some stats/info on RISP to back up your claim, it literally takes 2-3 minutes. No one is asking you to stop caring about the important things in life and to turn on your PS4 to check on a stat. Also why bring this topic up "if you don't care about this stat". Either you are trolling, complaining for the sake of complaining or both.


    As for the topic at hand I don't pop out a lot w/RISP and this is coming from someone who struggles mightily w/RISP. I will say this though, I don't know if its due league average or what but I do pop up a lot.

    Never let fear determine who you are. Never let where you came from determine where you are going.

      Or this thread isn't going the way you wanted it to so you abandoned it and moved on to the next "issue" which is the physics of hitting.

      I'm learning the pattern here. You search for something that you believe cannot be proven and run the course until someone either proves it to you or corner you into a position where you can no longer logically continue your argument.when that happens you move on to the next "issue"
      I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

        This pretty much sums it up. Nail in the coffin.

          Dude, I started tracking the games when I first posted here and got no response so it took me about 7 days to play 5 games.

          It's not like I flew through 5 games and admittedly I played two in a row Saturday morning to finish (since my goal was to get through 5).

          You said you play this game frequently and love it so certainly you can get a few games in a week like me.

          You made an "observation" which I showed didn't seem to be accurate. Like I said, feel free to debate that with actual facts rather than just conjecture.



          You started the thread, not anyone else.

            I've started over so many times. I'll check next time I fire up.

              You figured it out, detective. Great work.

                I appreciate the praise but honestly it wasn't hard to figure out. It's quite obvious

                      Maybe I should put solid hits at 10 and see!
                      Solid Hits doesn't affect this too much. It certainly does affect it, but I would not recommend it as a "plan A" solution. The fringe contact that leads to these pop-ups would never lead to much solid contact anyway. You want to decrease timing/contact to reduce the frequency of this fringe contact, or increase the foul frequency slider, so that more of these fringe contact swings just go out of play somewhere.

                        And just for the record, I've had absolutely no problems with ANY stats differing with RISP (vs bases empty). I get just as many pop-ups, line outs, and diving catches as I do under any other circumstance.

                        As far as the CPU, I'd actually like to see a higher BA with RISP. I find myself pitching out of jams way too frequently. Unfortunately, raising the difficulty level is not an option, because I get killed on HOF... but I digress.

                        Anyway, no RISP problems here.

                          Ah I see.

                          I'll have to try the Foul Frequency and see how that grabs me. I just worry about it taking away balls hit down the lines (they'll be made foul because it's "just fair" as per the text of the slider).

                            I use the contact swing in these scenarios. More often than not ill get the sac fly at the least.

                              I don't think there's an issue nor do I think people shouldn't post a difference in opinion from the original direction of the thread.

                              There are several threads which a majority of people agree with the thread starter on a particular problem/issue with the game/game play. There has been great conversation in those threads and hopefully some of the information was passed on to devs and they take it into consideration when crafting MLB '16 and beyond. In this thread there has been in depth conversation about why people don't think there's an issue.
