Probably anywhere from 10-25. I haven't played much franchise. That is what I have seen on other threads.

Played a fantastic game last night. Mariners traveled to take on the Yankees with their added NL MVP and power bat in Giancarlo Stanton. James Paxton takes on the new murderers' row in New York. This was just a smooth looking game. A ton of nice animations and plays. Spoiler, the game goes into extra innings. I may try to post links to nice plays in the description.

Yep, that pitch was supposed to be down and away. I wanted to get ahead in the count, but not give him something so good to hit. Probably should have been a slider first pitch. Make him adjust to something moving.

That's one thing I may tinker with in my sliders. I have user pitch control at 10 and still throw about 65% strikes. But, the result is I throw some pitches too good, when in reality, a pitcher makes better pitches and just misses off the plate. And that is a strategy the user needs to employ. With higher pitch control, utilize throwing pitches out of the zone. Rather than handcuffing the ability to pitch where you want.

Next game I will test a high user pitch control. I think there has to be a tradeoff somehow though. Maybe a touch higher composure.

Stay tuned.

Did you start a franchise? Which roster? Year end one or one of the more up to date ones I posted? If one I posted, did you assign some free agents to some teams? There is a lot of talent unsigned in the FA pool!

I have a simmed franchise file that has the same result for the season as this year's playoffs and can go through the off season with the current free agents available.
