Too many no-hitters...

NoOne · 05-21-2021, 12:40 PM

Something is wrong. There have been way too many no-hitters. In the years i've watched and never taken notes, i know my recall is 100%, and what few things have happned in those years is all that can happen, obviously.

Please join me in writing letters to the MLB to dial their pitching LTM and Totals down a bit, please... it's breaking the game and i don't want to play it anymore.

Bwahahahah.

They changed the totals to try to reduce HR, but obviously didn't run enough season sims to notice that it would have an averse effect on overall average and hits. They probably need to make some updates to their PCM too - too much emphasis on power, not enough on contact abilities.

Mirrors real life MLB where there have been 6 no hitters already and the modern season record is 7.

Is there going to be a ratings boost for glueball pitchers?

Sorry about the paywall. I screenshot an excerpt.

They obviously forgot to run Auto-calc modifiers

If this was the game I'd say small sample size, come back when the year is over but that doesn't really work here.

Hope someone is taking notes... all excellent ideas in this thread.

And, to be honest, not exclusively a comment on current real life results. There may have been a subtle, good-hearted jab at the general behaviour of the original post. I haven't been reading posts everyday, so if by coincedence any similar drama .. certainly not trying to throw kerosene on any fire, this time...

In all seriousness, the MLB needs to do something about the Glueball Era. The cheating is pretty blatant as this point and it needs to stop.
