Offline Franchise - Not Sure if Ump Personalities Are "Cycling"?

[torpidbeaver]

I've noticed over the last 20 or 25 games that it seems like I'm getting the exact same umpire "personality" behind the plate, despite it looking like there are different umpires every game. Though I haven't figured out where the umpires are listed, I definitely seem to get a black ump and a white ump, so the game at least knows to put up different models, game to game.

Nevertheless, it seems as if I'm getting the same calls - generous on the inside to righties/outside to lefties, pinching like a miser on the inside to lefties/outside to righties, and completely schizophrenic on borderline low pitches - to the point where I've begun pitching everyone the same way. It's a bummer.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this? I feel like I'm missing out on something.

To see which ump is there each game go to the gamelog and its there. As for strike zone's changing between ump's I tend to see the same random zone every game it seems so I tend to agree with what you mentioned.

Having the same experience. The pitches on the outside part of the plate to right handed batters....my god. So frustrating. Right in the middle of the strike zone, clearly over the plate and in the box, always a ball.

Thanks for confirming, guys.

Out of curiosity, are you guys using 30-team control?

Nope, I only control my hometown Ms. I let the rest of the league run wild

Thinking about just turning off variable until this gets fixed

Yes I use 30 team control and have for a couple years now. My desire to keep trades realistic without teams gutting their farm systems for 35 year old veteran relief pitchers is the entire reason I started doing it and continue doing it.
