I think it's not possible to rate both batters and pitchers so the full effect of their splits is visible in their ratings and get the correct output.
This has always existed. Even if you go to 24, the splits were slightly better and more likely to be seen in batters, but still there are no cases of batters in 24 being drastically better against one or the other (ratings wise) but this is pretty common in real life. I guess all in all the ratings in the game just feel much too "samey" and I hope they do something to improve this aspect.

At what point do you just say give them one contact rating and eliminate the split rating because it isnt different anyway. If the splits work out stat wise regardless it's nice, but it doesn't help in the 8th inning when i am trying to determine who to bat against a reliever and the ratings aren't indicative of the skill they have against each side.
