It's either pointing to a bad stats driven simulation engine, or I guess even worse, laziness by the developers (no attention to the "small" stuff like The Show does)

I'm pretty sure those are career stats, not season stats.

BigH.........You are absolutely right and I am wrong....My mind went right to "these guys simmed up to the all star game" when they probably simply picked a quick game of the all star game. I went to MLB.com and confirmed that those were career totals.. This is a good lesson that idiots like myself should think before they type!!

It has been in previous versions.

Man, your poor girlfriend...

"Honey, how do I look?"

"Well, you look alright, except for..."



Thanks again, Steve for these videos. This one really shows off the various possible hits. Looking forward to the demo.

Those are career stats. LOL!. Thank goodness that pitch to Hanley wasn't a hr. The pitch was about a foot outside.

Man, your poor kids:

"Dad, we don't want chocolate ice cream."

"Man, you kids don't sure don't know what's good for you. Whadda ya mean? What's the matter with chocolate? Chocolate is great. It's delicious, lol. I LOVE chocolate ice cream. How can you say that??"

Look at the video again, why are the batters making contact no matter where the pitch is thrown? I only saw 1 swing and a miss and that was on a late swing. Some of those pitches should be missed, looks like there is a large plate coverage.

How is that relevant? I know you like to make your little comments, so we'll leave it at that.

Keep it on the discussion of the video, that's it.
