Anyone know what it means in season mode? I've worked out that it probably has something to do with breaking pitches, but, on checking my team, it doesn't seem to mean the average number of breaking pitches, or the average level of all the breaking pitches. I can't be sure either way. Anyone else have any ideas? |

I thought it was the average total break for all a pitcher's breaking pitchers. Wait, this is hard to explain. So, let's say you have 2 pitchers. Jones Miller Jones has 3 breaking balls: SLD: 3 CHG: 1 SNK: 3 3+1+3=7, so Jones' Overall Brk Ball Count: 7 Miller has 4 breaking balls: SLD: 2 CB: 3 CHG: 2 SPLT: 2 2+3+2+2=9, so Miller's Overall Brk Ball Count: 9 9+7=16, 16/2= 8, so you're team's Average Overall Brk Ball Count is 8. At least, that's what I think it means. |

I'm pretty sure that it is the average total points for all pitches, as detroit said. I've never actually checked to see if it is exactly right, but the numbers seem realistic to me. |

I didn't think the AAA pitchers offset the average so much. I finally sat down to do the math, and for MLB, I got 5.3, AAA, I got 3.5, rounding down. Overall, that came out to 4.68, which matches the 4.6 I had under that. It does kind of make me wonder why it went down from 4.9 to 4.6 over the course of a month. Can one pitcher getting injured weaken his breaking pitches? Mathematically that means my team must have lost 5 levels of breaking pitches that month, but only one pitcher got injured and he still has good breaking pitches. I think pitchers may lose levels if they don't pitch very well, but I think losing 5 over the course of a month is a bit too much. And if it did work that way I feel like the pitchers who dominated should have gained levels, which would offset that. This is turning into quite the mystery. I just checked and none of my pitchers have any of their breaking pitch meters near the top or bottom, indicating natural declining or progression. I even checked my transaction information in case the CPU can make transactions while you simulate games, and there are no transactions. |
