    Online Players have made the game Moneyball

    This isnt a shot at online players but the fact is Sacrifice Bunting and Stealing Bases have serious issues. This isnt a "bug" This is a game design issue based off two things online players dont like. Bunting and Stolen Bases. Players with 99 bunt ratings should not fail on sac bunts 30 or more percent of the time. Players with 90 Stolen Base Ratings should not consistently taking bad jumps and getting caught on change up and breaking balls. I mean you have Perfect/Perfect which I dont even know what that is except an appeasement to online players..I mean when is it enough ? When do we get the actual game back to what it was, a great representation of the game of baseball? Franchise/offline is on display more then it ever was and these issues are glaring when MLB.com or SNY or Fangraphs is streaming these games.

    If I remember correctly last year the success rate of sac bunt attempts was around 2%.

      I think we're on our way to tha universal DH. If not though, hopefully these issues are glaring enough to get some changes done [emoji120]

      Good bunters move runners over forsure.

        In the game maybe , IRL sacrifice bunting has a success rate between 70-80 pct. the problem is they have killed the first step. That’s why so many great runners get caught attempting to steal or make second on a sacrifice.

          I believe I’m 2 for 12 on sac bunts. And folty, who has 99 bunt, can’t lay one down. Bunting is definitely broken. Way to take the strategy out of NL games smh

            I'm convinced that if online players starting complaining about three strikes being unfair, then we'd soon be playing with five or six.
