Too many ground rule doubles?

Does anybody else think few too many of them are happening in the game? Can't really back it up with statistical data, also I haven't found rl stats.

I remember few years back it has been an real issue, it's nothing like that this year but still I feel I'm seeing more of them than I do in real Baseball or is it all just an coincidence or my imagination?

Re: Too many ground rule doubles?

In over 150 games I've seen maybe 10 if that many.

So I would say no, I don't think they are happening too frequently ��

Yes, seeing way too many. The baseball seems like a bouncy-ball when hit to the warning track. I'm two months in to my franchise and I'd say I've seen at least a dozen, maybe more.

Re: Too many ground rule doubles?

I don't know if I've seen any ground rule doubles this year. Maybe it's just the ballpark you are playing at. The walls could be on the short side.

Like you said, MLB 12 had a big issue with ground rule doubles and the ball being way too bouncy. But I don't think 15 comes close to that.

No definitely, in my desperate search for a fun franchise mode team I have played pretty much any team anywhere. Ball has bounced over pretty high walls for me.

Yes it's nothing like 12, but I'm seeing them more than in 13 and 14. I'd guess smth like 1 every 4th game. Maybe that's even normal?

So strange though that you haven't seen any, does anybody know about how often they happen irl?

I'll start keeping track of them form last game, where I have seen one.

I rarely see ground rule doubles. Maybe 1 every 10 games.

RTTS I see a ton of them. Doesn't help that my guy seems to have "warning-track power."

Not seeing that many this year. It's really toned down from a couple years ago, which is good. I'm about halfway through my season and I have seen maybe 10, and that's maybe.
