I have to agree with the OP here. This game is definitely on the short side with stats.

I made a suggestion in the wishlist forum to add a lineup card, one that would give you access to everything a manager would want/need. Hopefully they'll add it, or something like it, to next year's game.

It sucks managing a game with a team you're not familiar with, because there's no real way to find out information about a guy you have on the bench... Or at least there is no real way to find out information all the time... Because the stats and/or attributes aren't always shown.

They seemed to make an effort to remedy this problem compared to last year's version, but they need to go all out and give full access to stats and attributes whenever you want... So you can actually manage a game properly.

Couldn't agree more with the OP.

I'm not going to blather on but the point is, I hope next year they revamp the stats to the degree they revamped the graphics.

spit_bubble is right, the game would benefit from more streamlined info access within the gameplay. Right now it's scattered around and is quite messy.

Stats is definitely one area the Show can and should improve significantly. If one major area that SCEA is thinking of improving for '12 is the franchise mode, it probably is also a good time to redesign the stats handling in the game. I don't think the current scheme of keeping track of a small number of split stats (vs LHP/RHP, w RISP, home/away, last months, etc.) will get the game too far in future... Something we could look forward to.

Yes.

It would be nice to have a more user friendly stat list or something along those lines, but honestly it works for me. All I care about are averages vs right/left, ERA, and the basics. I'm getting tired of watching games on tv and hearing something like "And of course Cano is hitting .428 this year with runners in scoring position during home games on the second Tuesday of the month under slightly overcast skies. But also keep in mind Lester has a much lower batting average against lefty batters with a 6 mph breeze floating in from left center."

Too many stats, not enough baseball.

I totally agree with that. But I think the OP was talking about scouting a team, not judging his own 'user' performance. You're right. It would be nice to be able to see more user stats and that definitely would be useful.

Can you not track this in your profile?

I get what you're saying here. The stats you're explaining here are useless though if the AI logic is not coded to deal with each of those situations realistically. It seems a lot of those stats would be useless if they don't play out like the real life stats. I don't know. To me, the stats would be useless only because I don't believe this game would handle something like how a batter hits .285 with 2 outs and RISP. I think going beyond splits like LHP vs. RHP would be really hard to program or at least a totally massive database of what if's that would have to be coded. If it's possible, that's awesome. But I can't imagine the game plays out quite so realistically in terms of percentages. Therefore, that might be why those stats are not so detailed in The Show.

I don't think it would be that hard to pull off as far as game logic. If a hitter is a good at bat with RISP he could get some bonus values added to his rating during those situations Or the opposite hold true.

It could even be a sliding scale system as well...example say a hitter is a average bat with RISP and has all of a sudden started to be very productive with RISP maybe he could start getting some bonus values added. It slides back down when the bat starts to cool down. Maybe if the guy is slumping there a negative penalty points. This would be great if the player had to spend some extra time in the cage to work things out...or something.

Haha I totally agree with you dude I hate hearing those things also. I'd just like basic things like a player's batting average with RISP, so that I can make my lineup more efficient. There's a lot of other "basic" stats that are not available, but yeah what you described I can definitely do without.

To an extent the "clutch" attribute rating does this already.
