To put a number to it the top team batting avg last year was .283 and I've done 5 season sims and haven't got over .264 yet.

Pitching is stronger in baseball this year - I actually went through all the teams in ZiPs updates tonight and was amazed how much the game spits out real life batting averages - that are in the 250s and lower.

But the lack of consistency I am seeing in the sim engine is something we can't correct on this end.

Our rating values match up with last years which was near perfect. We have already bumped offensive numbers as well as a 10% drop on all pitching attributes.

I am off to bed - won't be back on til 8 or 9 tomorrow morning so if we can keep questions to a minimum then I can answer more swiftly tomorrow off my phone

For the changes that were made to players for V2, were most of them pretty small impact changes to ratings or were there any complete overhaul players (such as Puig and Abreu I'm assuming). Thanks!

He's a top 75, maybe even top 50 prospect in some rankings. MLB ready catcher who is batting over .280 (with a .384 OBP) with some pop in AAA. Maybe just a tad boost is needed across the board.

Not saying I don't agree, but Susac already has a 64 in plate discipline, which is pretty good. He's a .253 career MiLB hitter that is currently playing in that hitter's paradise known as the PCL. I'd take his season stats to date with a large grain of salt.

It's a mix. Some are small, and some are big, and some are medium. Depends on the situation. There should be a little something for everyone who has posted their feedback in a constructive manner.

Why do you people blame the game and the "sim engine"? It's all based off of ratings and what not. The default OSFM v2 provides the most realistic stats across the board, both hitters and pitchers. The criticism from me is just the pitchers dominate I'm this roster. Some may like it some may not. As a roster editor myself (NCAA football, in which is 4x the amount of teams and you start from scratch cause no names are involved) I know the hard work that has to be put in. I was just making you guys aware of some major issues that take place with this roster set that include messed up ratings and even some good prospects that were taken out just to make room for career minor leaguers. It's easy to blame others and the game for a downfall. It just needs tweaking and adjusting for this to work well. Once again good job to all those involved and thanks for the time spent on doing these. For myself I just feel like OSFM v2 is much better. Everyone has a right to his/her own opinion.

Can I recommend some changes to the White Sox?

I know you guys have a lot of fixes you're working on so I don't want to overwhelm you guys, so just let me know if you'd be receptive to fixing the White Sox for the soonest update and I'll post my recommendations.

No major changes are needed, just a few tweaks here and there.

Just curious, how many seasons have you simmed with these rosters, and how many have you simmed with osfm v2? And could you please post your data?
