The outcome is determined in one pitch when you hit "swing" not before. Hitting swing simulates an entire AB. When you hit "take pitch" the AB outcome has not yet been determined. It does allow you to try to get a count to steal on though. Get to 2-0 and the AI is much more likely to not pitch out.
OK, so if you're playing pitch by pitch and with three balls select take you're guaranteed to get a strike. That the batter won't swing at. Meaning the take pitch feature doesn't help you get a walk with three balls. Not at all whats implied by the manual, taking advantage of a pitcher who is struggling with control.
Now seriously, if you have all these features that significantly change the performance of players then even with one year recalc and no development and no random talent change historical players won't perform historically. Do you believe that?
