Ideal world for batters we at least see some extreme cases in every league where a few guys on each team have substantial differences. I want to have to make tough decisions, not send the same lineup regardless of who is on the mound.

It takes some fancy calculations for game play calculations if the ratings show the full splits for both batters and pitchers. Let's say a batter performs 20 points worse against same side pitching and he's facing a pitcher who does 20 points better against same side batters. When they are combined the result is going to be more than a 20 point drop in BA.
This brings up the question of whether we saw real life ratings for splits before OOTP 25. I can say the random splits in the pre-real-splits era seemed to hit in the vicinity of the real life differences.
As is often the case it's nearly impossible to test to find the answer due to there being so much noise with the signal. It's something a dev could answer though.
