For example I'm looking at a guy who's got a 172 (already very high) Movement but he's also a pretty extreme groundball pitcher (61%), so his "View Movement is 192(!). Speaking of, there's another guy in the league who always seems to get screwed over by his low Movement rating even though he induces a lot of grounders and it looks like he got a boost from 45 to 70 in his "View Movement" due to a 65% groundball rating.
It definitely looks like they've made an attempt to get HR/FB rates more in line with reality while still allowing some guys to be homer-prone.

Still a head scratcher, especially from a marketing standpoint, as to why the laundry list of new items for OOTP23 that Markus posted yesterday, wasn't out there as to the days/weeks leading up to the release? I can understand some may have been added or tested at the last minute, and then were added to his list, but not all of them.
I hang out with a dozen baseball fanatics, one a former player, that purchase the game every year upon release, and continue our own online league. This will be the first year since OOTP4 that none of us are buying the latest release. Apparently, I'm the "go to guy" when it comes to info about the latest game, as I'm always on here reading updates, etc., and unfortunately, I didn't have a whole lot of ammo to give to my buds, and what was leaked, was very little to get excited about. It was a tough sell, that nobody was buying.
Now after reading the list yesterday, it is something to get excited about, and I know we'll eventually get the game, just not at this time. We're all still Ok with OOTP22. As all current or former business owners, it was very odd the way they rolled out this years release?
