What have they done with roy's pitch repetoire? Gone are the 4sfb, sinker and changeup,. He know only has four pitches. They replaced those with a splitter and 2sfb.

I haven't seen the game, but IRL, his repertoire and effectiveness are BOTH going downhill fast. I hope he can get back to his old self, but it doesn't look good.

Anyway, he should have: (in order of effectiveness)
1. 2-seamer (which is pretty much his sinker)
2. Cutter
3. Splitter (which is his changeup)
4. Curveball

So, if that's what he has in the game, that's pretty good attention to detail by them

Thank you. I never realized that. I just noticed that his pitches were different from years past. If they updated it to be more accutate then great.

They're using a different data provider than in the past, so pitch repertoires should be much closer to real life this year.

Yeah, I saw that, a 76 or 77 mph 2-seamer. There are some pitchers, Kimbrel included, who really throw just two pitches in real life based on what I get from Brooks Baseball website. However, in the game, every pitcher must have at least 3 pitch types.

lol yeah it cracks me up, AND gives me hell in RTTS practice. If they are gonna do a 3 pitch minimum at least make it comparable to his 4 seamer.

Maybe it's a goof and they meant to give him a 96 or 97 mph 2-seamer. I much prefer they either give just the 2 pitch types actually thrown or allow us to edit it to 2 pitch types.
