Let's face it, MLB has turned into a sabermetrics analytical game, to quote Little Big League "situations and tendencies". It's time for MLB The Show to have tendencies in the game. Such as:
This is just off the top of my head. I think also creating MGR tendencies too would be great. Being able to play to player's true tendencies in-game as we see in real-life would add a much needed realism to the game.
- Pull vs. Push split (50/50 is straight-away)
- Bunt for hit %
- Fly ball vs. ground ball
- Fastball prowess
- Breaking ball prowess
- 1st pitch swing %
- Plate patience % (perhaps rename Discipline, for hitters than create deep counts or wait until a pitch hits their hot zone)
- Bad ball chase % (different than discipline IMO)
- Injury % (needs to be separate from durability)
- Base running aggression
- Stolen base aggression (SB ability <> SB aggression)
- Catcher framing
- Catcher pop-timing
- Pitcher %'s per pitch (FB is 50%, CV is 40%, 2SM is 10%)
- Pitcher FB vs. GB ratio (perhaps disconnect from HR/9)
- Fielding ability per position (not sure if it's coded that a default SS is as good at 2B or 3B...a player decent at RF would suck at CF but can play if needed)
This is just off the top of my head. I think also creating MGR tendencies too would be great. Being able to play to player's true tendencies in-game as we see in real-life would add a much needed realism to the game.
