Swing for the fences

bestbrother · 06-25-2021, 06:35 AM

Can you create a style or team mindset that means they will always swing for the fences? None of this smallball stuff, no walks, just swing away to hit dingers?

Granted id need a lineup of sluggers, but once there, I dont want them taking a base, I want them to hit big flys

Is that possible? Without me having to manage each game bat by bat

Not really. You could have a lineup stacked with power hitters, but there's no guarantee they swing for the fences every ab.

Even if you manage each game, pitch by pitch, you still can't tell a player to swing for the fences.

OK thanks for that

Just get players with low contact, low gap, high power, low K rating Low walk rating. And that should get you what you want.

Sounds like the best thing, annoying that you cant set up a team to play that way though. Seems like a simple thing to do.

Go into Commish mode and fiddle w/the players' ratings.
