Discipline only governs check swings in game for instance. I like the radial graphs in concept, but it can be hard at a glance to see if someone is a few points better than someone else. It can be important on key ratings like speed for instance. If I have two guys I want to pinch run, of course I want the 96 rated guy and not the 94 rated one. Hard to tell on the radial at a quick glance. So you'll still need to use the player cards for stuff like that I think, or look real hard at the radial.

I don't entirely disagree but it depends on how you play the game. If you are joysticking the game you probably don't care much about discipline because you decide which pitches to swing at. I use manage mode and discipline impacts OBP. Durability impacts recovery time for players and injury potential.
