Additionally, we usually observe that big money teams value offensive performance more than defensive capabilities.
Is there any way to reset this back to 2025 settings? All one has to do is focus on pitching/defense and you got winning team with bunch of people who hit 230-250. With my expansion team since I knew I was not going to pick up no offense players I went high on pitching and defense and I am ripping the entire division up with scrubs no one wanted.

I get they are focusing on offense but we got players who literally can't play their position. Treating every position as DH spot has made things way way too easy and not sure how to fix it to make it fun. Unless I decide to ignore who plays what position also

"Here first baseman who is going to hit .270 and 30 home runs but he can only play first base. Let's just put him in...Oh I dunno.. Centerfield"

That doesn't make sense. There are players who literally don't play the position at all and will never be able to play position due to they have zero skill in that position.

(Just woke up not attacking you btw I just don't get this design decision)
