Go to the screen that has the coaches on the left with their modifiers and the players who will be best affected by them on the right. Click on the modifier from the coach you would like to use and put that modifier in the appropriate letter column of the player you would like to give that modifier to.

Nemesis, I was talking about the ones earned in a game. They seem to be different than the coach ones?

Also, do other teams get better?

I played a game on 99 ego, and it still does it.

I wonder if it's different for different contact ratings?

That is interesting, not sure exactly how the cursor works then. I'm not sure if I should be manually moving the cursor or not while hitting. I want to manually move the cursor, but it seems pointless since it auto tracks to the pitch location on its own.

per the forums at supermegabaseball.com

me: does the autobat follow the pitch at every ego level?

dev:

It helps you less and less as ego goes up, and the tolerances are tightened up significantly, so you will have to be more and more precise.

The intention is to guide you into the game, so at lower egos you can focus on getting the timing of the swings right, at higher ego, you gotta do it all yourself.

So yes, its effect becomes negligible eventually.

It does auto track, but by the time you reach the higher ego levels the pitch comes in so fast that it's not going to be able to move hardly at all before the ball is popping the catchers mitt. That's probably what the devs mean by it becoming negligible.

Add to that that the game has true cursor hitting (meaning if you don't get at at least a piece of the ball on the cursor, you WILL swing and miss), and the game has no trouble being very challenging at high ego.

I see what you are saying now. Those modifiers that become unlocked will show up in the next round of coaches that become available. The more you unlock the more diversity there is in coach training by what modifiers they offer.
