I really enjoy OOTP (you wouldn't believe the number of teams and leagues I have going  ), but I'll admit it makes it frustrating to play Random Rookies when all-star historical pitchers import as mediocre pitchers simply because they were not strikeout kings.
Note: I'm not sure how you would program for this; K, BB, and HR are straightforward stats. Nuances of great control are not. |
I don't totally disagree, but like you mention, it's awfully hard to make work in practice and to quantify something like poor contact.
I'm just explaining how things actually do work in game for now, not commenting on how they should work in a perfect world
