No need for implication when it is EXPLICITLY stated

Perhaps the most iconic achievement in all of sports gaming is actually playing every inning of every game in a 162 game MLB season. Personally, I have only gotten to about game 100 before losing interest in the pursuit due to general busyness. So what about you? Have you ever done it? Do you have plans to try to do it this season with either MLB 2K13 or MLB 13: The Show?

Reading is hard

Again though, I haven't kept up on the conversation so I'm not sure if you're referring to the poster you quoted or someone else.

The post you quoted was accurate but I can't tell if that's who you're talking about.

The poll was about who plays every inning of every game, that's vastly different than who completes seasons. We have posters who every talk about playing one game out of a series to get through the seasons quicker.

Yeah but when people make Blzer's posts look like light reading, you know your in deep!

ok from what we know that DD and that other mode are the top two units in this game... they are the ones that make the game money due to cards and all that stuff that franchise doesn't really use.. and now to find out that the two NEW modes are DIRECTLY linked to DD is really not good news...

as someone said very early on in this tread... this is a huge franchise base site and we are still not getting the majority of the respect we deserve... deep dive into franchise my rear end... that was well anyway....

i really wish we could turn off morale in franchise mode...

also wish we coulld turn off card packs in franchise... or be able to put them in the market place... for those of us that are just wasting them when we play every day...

Onto the other subject at hand... I don't think Brian was saying to RID the game of attributes...but hide them....and you would know a player was a good contact hitter without seeing his 85 by....his scouting report! The actual attribute is still there to drive the game....you would just be able to not view it. That's what I got from his posts. M.K. Knight165

What I get from the stat based progression is this.

If a player has a 80 contact vs Rhp the game/team/organization/player expects that player to have a certain batting avg. lets say .290 against Rhp.

If the player hits that certain avg or close to it .280-.300, his rating remains the same. If he exceeds it and hits .310, it increases but not as much because the game expects him to hit Rhp well.

If the player hits below that certain avg based on his 80 contact vs Rhp and hits .260, the game is like "well you shouldn't be expected to hit like an 80, you should be lowered to a 75 contact vs Rhp.

Similarly if a player is rated 40 contact vs Rhp he is expected to hit around .220. If the player hits around .220 his rating is accurate and doesn't need to be altered. If he hits below .220 the game says your supposed to be bad, but not that bad, lower you 3-5 points.

If that player who is rated 40 contact vs Rhp hits well over his expected avg of .220 and hits let's say .250 the game is like well shoot we got your rating wrong, you obviously can hit Rhp so we'll raise your rating to a 50 and expect you to hit that avg now. But if you start sucking against Rhp again it'll go back to 40.

I don't see the problem here. It's not like if he's rated 40 and hits like a 40 should it'll drop even lower. As well as rated high and hits high. The real progression/regression aspect is when a player doesn't perform as expected, then expectations need to be changed, thus ratings change.
