Coach/Player relationships
This is in a carry-over game from OOTP25, regular MLB started with 2025, now in 2031 in OOTP26.
Looking at the individual player development page for a player who is greatly underachieving as a hitter, I looked at his relationship with the hitting coach as stated on that page and it says he has a poor relationship with the hitting coach. That surprised me, because I look at player relationships when hiring coaches, so I went to the coach and checked in his bio/details, and it lists this player as a good relationship.
I found others that were mismatched, though this was the worst, being poor vs. good.
Maybe the coach thinks they're on good terms but the player secretly dislikes the coach - which might explain some underachieving - but that seems like a stretch.
I don't know how impactful this is, but I have to think it's a bug, and I expect it affects results in some fashion.
