Hitting home runs?

willfla29 · 02-18-2016, 01:23 PM

Hi guys,

I just purchased this the other day. I've noticed that my team never hits home runs. After 20 games, my entire team has hit 1. I like to play the games myself rather than simming, so not sure if that could play a role. Is this a known issue with this game? I don't see sliders like there are on the PC version to up the chance of HRs...

Are you simming a historical era when home runs are scarce? Are your players' power ratings at least 8 out of 20? Are other teams hitting homers? If none of these are factors, I can't explain your experience. I always have a normal number of home runs in my simming (and I play (previously said "sim") every game my team plays).

The other teams are hitting home runs. I'm playing the 2015 season in which HRs should be more scarce than the 90s but not non-existent. For those that play the games themselves, is taking pitches very important for power numbers?

Sorry, I meant to say that I play (not sim) every game that I play. And I take pitches occasionally (usually when the pitcher has control issues) and don't really notice any effect on home runs.
