I read up on that stuff, but I'm hardly a mathematician, so I don't know what they need for WAR, FIP, wOBA, etc. At least it's a step in the right direction for us stats junkies.
If you go into the Sports Connect, you can purchase it through there, and it will pop of the store checkout.

I am not sure, but are those stats "owned" by someone who came up with them, as in requiring a license?

WAR is on both baseball-reference and fangraphs, so not sure there's a purchasing problem. A it is HEQ isn't a Show exclusive sabre stat either, it was coined in the late 90's and was named after the guy.

I just feel they dropped the ball somewhat with their selection, I love ISO, RC and RF, but the rest just seem bleh, especially when the sabre crowd have settled on OPS+, ERA+, and WAR as the big sabre stats.

From the main menu, if you hit select and then go to the dollar sign symbol, you can buy it there.

OPS+ and ERA+ aren't exactly very good either. OPS (and it's derivatives) don't balance slugging and OBP appropriately. ERA+ is still defence dependent and thus is pretty subpar. wOBA, FIP and xFIP are far, far superior metrics.

None of the aforementioned stats are proprietary and can be readily used. They have all the means necessary to calculate them.

Everything he just said^.

Can anyone confirm that Batting Runs in the game refers to Adjusted Batting Runs or something like it? If so, that's a decent enough substitute for wOBA.
