This game is a joke!!!!!
Why is it, after seven seasons, that NONE of my 4 or 5 star players, despite a maxed out training budget, all top seven draft picks, NEVER even sniff anything close to their potential. And when I click on the opposing players, over 90% of them are maxed out on their ratings?
Why is it, when my guys hit a single, they MUST stop after 3 steps to watch the ball hit the ground and only advance 1 base, while the teams I play against are off and running and get 2 bases 80% of the tine?
Why is it, my catcher, a #3 pick, with a 72 defensive rating to go with a 92 arm, after spending a full season at AAA, CAN'T throw out 20% of the guys trying to steal against him in over 120 attempts?
Why is it, the three guys I have that have over a 88 steal rating, can't get over 60% success in their attempts?
Why is it, with all the pickoff throws I try, I might get to pick off 2 a year, while between the opponents pitchers and catchers, I get picked off a bout 25 times a season?
Why is it, my pitchers can't field and throw a guy out at first? They pick up the ball, count the seams, and then throw. This happens at least every third game.
Why is it, when I have the bases loaded and no outs, 75% of the time I will NOT score a run? Depressing.
Why is it, my 75 rated shortstop makes 20 errors a year for 3 straight years, and when I sign a free agent shortstop with a 85 rating, he makes 21 errors a gets injured the last 6 weeks of the season?
Why is it, the opposing pitcher with 40 control and 40 stuff with a 37 endurance goes 7 shutout innings, gives up 1 hit and walks no one?
Why is it, every time I sign a 28 year old or so free agent to a six year deal, by year 3 his ratings have fell so far you can replace him with a AAA Player? And you can't trade him away because no one will take him?
Don't get me wrong, I love baseball and this is my third year of OOTP, but I will Never buy this game again. You put in a lot of time and strategy in this, but the AI engine in this version is crap.
