Drew the Rockies out of a random selection with criteria:
- must be an NL team
- must have finished under .500 in 2016
So far I'm playing with A&S sliders and OSFM rosters. I'm about half way through spring training and absolutely love the offline portion of this game. Bullpen usage is insane right now, and while I wish AI teams called up young prospects during spring training, it's still a lot of fun to face so many defensive substitutions and pitchers in one game.
One thing I'm a tad concerned about, however, is the trade system. It seems to me as if AI teams don't really care about their "golden boys", so as long as you offer them enough, they will trade away their iconic players without a second thought. I have concerns about how this trade logic will play out over a 162 game season.
I do have one question about AI pitching logic however. I know that depending on what you swing at in RTTS mode, the AI will alter their pitching technique to try to beat you as they build a road map of your tenancies (chasing pitches into the dirt being my greatest challenge). Does the AI also do this in franchise mode? In other words, if you constantly chase dirt balls with Blackmon but hold off with Lemahieu, will the AI pitch differently to both batters respectively?
If so
