Ok, the price-thing has been covered by others - becasue it would most definately go up.
On the issue of batting order, however, IF you are seeing better pitches to hit in the 4th spot with a good batter up next (the way the real world works) it's a result of the fact that HH is a pitch-by-pitch game and has the coding to support figuring that out and reacting to it - just like a real pitcher/catcher team would. On the other hand, I would be very surprised if this really was in there.
In any case, however, OOTP doesn't work that way since it doesn't have the pitch-by-pitch option, there's no place to put coding on what type on pitch to throw based on situation. My guess is that Player Joe batting 4th or 8th given the same situation, has the same chance of getting a hit. The closest thing that might make a difference is the new "clutch" rating - but again, it wouldn't matter where in the order he was batting.
Don't get me wrong - there's things about HH I still like - but if given only one game to play on a regular basis, I get a lot more enjoyment out of OOTP.
