Didn't mean to stir up a hornet's nest! What a divisive issue. Anyhow, I definitely don't think one way is better than another.

For me this works better because I couldn't feel what a four on contact was or a four on eye. My small brain couldn't make sense of it or what I could realistically expect with that number. But if I see a hitter is batting 250 (sorry I'm not much of a sabermatrician) that I can make sense of and I can say yeah I can live with a 250 avg because he has a high zr on defense. To me that is more immersive and I can wrap my brain around the numbers.

But again that is just for me and I don't think at all this way is better or harder than any other way. In fact, using stats only has made the game a bit easier for me. Go figure.

By the way on the shop player for a trade screen, is there any way of getting the stats to show next to the players automatically?(i am still on v13) It is a pain to have to click on each one. Maybe that would that would be a good suggestion to put in the suggestion box for 15 if it isn't already in 14.
