Also how is taking pitches as a batter gaming the system but intentionally walking a guy is not? are you not taking whatever the game had planned for that at bat and turning it into a walk? I dont do PBP so i dont have a dog in this fight but that i fail to understand everyones point on.
Lastly infield shifts, if you use a infield shift is it for show? or do you actually get a opportunity to take a hit away? And if that is so are you not gaming the system by your guys definition
point of the matter if someone is interested in managing their game and using strategy to do so the game should be able to accomadate that especially when there is a manager mode. i may be missing a bug in the system or something along those lines but its not computing with my very simple little brain.

The first part of Brad's post above mine is a very short summary of the feeling here lol.
I've only been a consistent poster on this board for maybe the last year or so. So I've missed a lot of conversation regarding the intricacies of the game from many years ago. That said, I did make posts in the past about "why is my #9 hitter popping out to 2nd base on a 3-0 count when IRL a 9 hitter should either be taking that pitch or lining an over the plate "get me over" fastball into a gap," From there, I learned that the count is more or less cosmetic.
The best that I could say here, without trying to ruffle any feathers, is all-in-all this remains the best simulation game by a bleeping mile and the good does outweigh the bad by far. And tweaking certain things might satisfy some, but upset others. So it becomes a fine line. All in all, the developers here are more active in listening to concerns than anywhere else and if you prefer a simulation over a button-mashing game this remains the best out there, again by far. It's not perfect, but tell me what game is.
