They have a clutch rating, which I believe relates to playoff performance/situations.

Description for Pitching Clutch in RTTS (and I assume it to be the same in all modes) is:

"Pitching Clutch affects your pitching ability when there are runners on base"

Whether that's all it does - who knows. Obviously that will, by nature, also have a pretty meaningful effect in the playoffs even if that's all it does.

This is one of those questions worth asking during the live stream with the SDS devs... does Clutch ratings affect things during the playoff games, not just while runners are on base?? Unfortunately I'm usually at work when the live streams and the commenting is active, so cannot do myself.

Uhh what??

Not sure why you are getting mad when you broke the rules and got banned. No one forced you to do whatever it was you did.

I believe on one of the latest streams, the devs were about to start a game with the Giants, and somebody mentioned MadBum's overall rating and implied it was lower than expected. Then Russell mentioned that even though his ovr wasnt as high as some of the top pitchers, his clutch rating was pretty high due in part to his postseason performance.

Im sure there is more tied into that rating than just postseason performance and yeah maybe one of the devs could comment on that in one of the future streams.

I remember that, but there can be a difference between how Clutch attribute rating is assigned to a player and how that attribute plays out in the game, though.

Clutch isn't a very strong attribute, and it's entirely possible a guy like MadBum was given a high Clutch just to respond to people's expectation today that BadMum is a super-clutch guy. But if Clutch only works in RISP situations and such and not the whole time in important games like WS, then how the rating is given and its effect on the field would be different.

Clutch isn't really an ability anyways, so I think it's more of a "for-fun" type of thing than anything.

So what you're saying is Mike trout should be the #1 pick in a fantasy draft... I mean, Im not disagreeing, just interesting...
