Nothing sad about that, I'm always just as proud to draw a walk as I am to hit a homerun. I've never had 8 though, nice job man!

Eight IS awesome.
I think that's great.
I played a game yesterday.....one of the few I actually play...and had 4 walks through the first four innings....I was thinking I was going to cruise to a win....but the CPU changed pitchers...it threw me off and I struck out 7 times in the final 5 innings including a K to end the game with the winning runs on base.

I was still happy to have walked four times. Even in the loss.

3 was the most I ever got last year, and just one this year (and that came in a game I played last night, and is the ONLY one I have in ALL games this year, lol)

I'd rather have 8 walks than HR's, niiiiiice. It gives you a cool sense of realism that you can look up and see the pitch count semi high for the CPU.

My high so far is 6, though one was intentional.

I've basically spent most of my time with this game trying to adjust sliders to get a realistic amount of walks, and have come pretty close so far.

BBs are a small but very important part of adding to the realism of a game. If you aren't getting to that average of approximately 3 per game, per team, then it's going to throw all the other numbers off as well.

So being able to both draw and issue walks at a somewhat realistic pace in this game is huge. I think they've done a good job with that this year.

Last night in my Cubs franchise I drew back to back 4 pitch walks to start the game vs wandy rodriguez. First time I have ever had something like that happen to start a game. I ended up drawing 5 walks total for the game.

The most walks in a game with MLB 11 has been 9 in an exibition game vs the nationals.

That's very nice.

The most BB I've had is 6. Only averaging about 1.5 per game.
