1. It isn’t possible to turn everything to max. You are supposed to have to sacrifice one to enhance another. Going to either extreme doesn’t really change anything.

2. I also hypothesized that turning everything to zero might effectively deactivate it. Still, according to the developer subtracting from a bar should have a greater effect than adding to a bar. I have set entire organizations to min/max settings. Nothing in the editor over many, many seasons indicates that happens. Robbing speed to add to power doesn’t hurt speed.

3. People continue to confuse scout ratings with the actual ratings in the editor. Scouting indicates the scouts ranking/sorting of a player against the current MLB players (or a different league if you switch it). The editor numbers are where the changes are recorded.

4. If a player follows a ridiculous training plan they should suffer. Billy Hamilton shouldn’t be sacrificing his speed to work on his power. It doesn’t matter if you do that right now - you are actually better off removing all points from speed for example because initial rating and then the aging process is all that really matters. 80 speed guys stay around 80 speed, 50 speed guys stay there too. If you want to train base running use the lab. Same with defense.

5. Totally side note, but as I brought up to them on the first day, the implementation of focus for pitching is extremely strange. If the bars are supposed to represent time spent / effort dedicated to an activity, having more pitches should mean a player is spread thinner. Instead, they get an extra half bar per pitch in their arsenal. I’ve tested it many times, doesn’t really seem to matter, but I’m not sure why having 6 pitches allows you to for example fill control, movement and stamina and still have 1.5 full bars left over while having 2 pitches means you cant even fill 3 bars - clearly it is just set up so you can put all bars at 50%, which begs the question, “what’s the point?”

If it is truly an independent layer (and it can be turned on and off so it should be) - then leaving it at this level by default but offering the ability to enhance the effects should be possible. I’d love the opportunity to actually independently train my guys and for it to matter.

Good luck to all in their personal, fictional baseball worlds.
