I have noticed something odd in my minor league games that I play in my franchise mode (and only in minors not in majors). When I am going through and checking stats to see who I want to play or move around in the lineup they are all affected by the same massive dropoff (and sometimes a rare buff) in stats in certain categories.
For example in my AA lineup as I look at every single player their changes are:
PVis -1, PDisc +2, BClutch -1, Bunt +1, Dbunt -1, Fielding -7,
Arm Str +3, Spd -2, Stl +2.
My AAA team also has stat changes, however they are in different categories.
My first thought was that it would be Coaches that affect this. However I have A coaches in category except 1st Base coach who has -3 Blocking. I tried firing a couple coaches and hiring new people, simulating a few games then coming to see if the stats were changed at all but they stayed the same.
This isn't the same as when I go into my manage roster screen or lineup screen from the TEAM tab in the main menu. In those screens I see the normal seasonal progression pluses and minuses. This is only when I am in game, but that -7 fielding is in particular frustrating and I'm wondering if other people have encountered this and know what it stems from?
