OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Why am I grounding into so many double plays during postseason gameplay?

It's a trend I started to notice not long ago. For reference sake, according to Team Rankings, the league average for double plays per team was .90 in 2017.

Through 40 postseason games:

My GIDP total: 47 --- Avg. per game = 1.175
Opp. GIDP total: 26 --- Avg. per game = .65

As you can see, I'm averaging nearly twice as many GIDP's as my opponents during postseason gameplay. In fact, I'm seeing so many GIDP's that it's gotten to the point where I can correctly predict when I'm about to see a double play about 50% of the time before it happens.

I could probably say the same about regular season games during gameplay.

Through 40 regular season games:

My GIDP total: 38 --- Avg. per game = .95
Opp. GIDP total: 28 --- Avg. per game = .70

Though they're more in line w/ the real life average and not as egregious as the postseason totals, it's still a significant difference in the amount of GIDP's I'm getting compared to the CPU.
