It seems to, but it doesn't. Go back and check after the game, they're all back to normal. During the game it looks like it increments the players' stats, but after the game's over it's like it never happened.

It is weird to see players with great Walks ratings swinging when the count is 3-0.
It is weird, and one of my biggest gripes with the PbP. I frequently find myself screaming at my players to 'take a freaking pitch'. But it makes sense in the end because I figure the PbP is just window-dressing; it's more important that the sim gets all the numbers right, which it does. You set the number of walks for the era you want to play in and it matches up when all is said and done. This evidently requires that my All-Star catcher with a Brilliant 10/10 in Drawing BBs not be able to figure out that when playing against a guy throwing for less than 50% strikes who's just walked two guys in a row on 8 pitches and has him at 3-0 it's a good idea to take just one more pitch. Tradeoffs.



*edit: Adding this stuff that I forgot I wanted to mention.

Also, a minor tweak to the hot/cold list on the Team Roster page. Would it be feasible to have this list check to see if a guy has played recently? I don't mean he has to have played within 2 days to make it, I like the idea of my part-time players listed on there even if they only get 5-10 ABs per week if they meet the other "Hot/Cold" criteria. But I hate seeing my guys on the list who are on the DL with an "out for season" injury and the "Hot" list says a guy's been batting .429 in the "Last 7 days" or whatever when I know perfectly well that he's been on the DL for 3 months and will be for 7 more.

Is that something worth looking at, or does it bug only me?
