This isn't rec league softball where even a routine grounder to SS will often skip through the fielder for a hit. Increasing (or decreasing) the engine value there will basically make defense more valuable. At the limits, setting it to 0 would effectively cause all players to act the same on the field. If you set it higher, than a better defensive player will basically turn more hits to outs, and a worse player will turn more outs to hits. So it's not about whether we roll the check on a player more often, it's more about how likely the check is to change things.
I would definitely HIGHLY caution anyone who wants to change that, since it could definitely severely impact your game. Changing it by 10 or 20% probably wouldn't break things, but especially the further off from 100 it is, the more it could have much wider consequences.

Thanks matt...
Can you elaborate on that.
Are you saying 100 GB to SS area of field, only a small percentage are actually effected by the fielder settings??
(1-100 scale)
A 100 shortstop will convert 99 of the plays to outs whereas a 10 SS will convert say 95%?
So regardless of positioning, where it is hit, how hard it is hit and def error, range, arm, Fatigue and weather conditions....it is all pretty much predetermined?
Sorry if i am reading to much into this
