Not really a great article if I'm being honest.
If someone had questions over certain attributes they will likely still have the same questions after reading this.

Two particular examples:
"while plate vision gives players the ability to draw walks more often and swing at less pitches outside of the strike zone."
That doesn't tell me what plate vision does in game as I'm the one pressing the swing button at pitches outside of the zone, so it would be more helpful to tell the reader what the attribute does in game rather than the real life concept the attribute is attempting to represent.

"Having a higher Power attribute also means your player is disciplined when they’re at bat. This allows them to let more pitches go and wait for the one they can really crank to any part of the field."
No it doesn't. Your videogame avatar will be as disciplined as you are at the plate. Same thing as before, this is the real life idea behind the attribute but tells us nothing about the actual game attribute.

There is no baserunning attribute in franchise and some of the explanations don't math this.

I'm guessing this is for rtts and not franchise. For example clutch in franchise different.

Yeah, the article seems to be discussing RTTS's overarching attribute categories
- which still doesn't mean that much because this year you can once again put points into the individual attributes.

Even that pushsquare article, while mostly correct, doesn't go into as much detail as the in-game strategy guide, which mentions things like things like vision counteracting a pitcher's K/9. I'm still going to recommend that anyone who wants a thorough attribute explanation to go look at that guide, found under settings > controls/guide > strategy guide > other > tab over to other-attributes with L1/R1.

There is some outdated info in other parts of the guide, but there's no reason to believe the attribute descriptions are incorrect.

The Steal Attribute isn't also the baserunning attribute?

I understand what you are saying but I envision "baserunning" as being smart about when to take an extra base. For example standard baseball IQ is don't make the third out of an inning at third base. I see that in the game. A player with 58 aggressiveness and 59 speed - Lawrence Butler - was thrown out at 3B in my most recent tame.

The author said clutch is only when a team is behind or game tied. That is not the case in franchise. It has been described in franchise as batter clutch vs pitcher clutch with runner on base.

Vision = ability to not swing and miss as often. Discipline is ability to check swing. He failed to mention durability which is a major attribute in franchise.

I don't play rtts but he clearly wasn't talking about franchise unless they have changed what the attributes do in franchise and I suspect SDS would have announced that if it's the case.
