it is most likely just for your viewing pleasure.

I don't know if it's related, but the game has to get that expanded fielding stats from somewhere?
The game does use ball location, hit type, EV - could it all work into putting the chance in one of these buckets and then working the calculations use things like fielder range and foot speed?
Not sure it's related to the diving, but I could see some "hints" about what's going on under the hood being embedded in the text, animations, crowd reactions, etc.
Obviously, I know nothing for sure, but if the game isn't determining "chance difficulty" in the engine, where is it getting data for things like the expanded fielding?
