OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - The would be poise rating- deconstructing an example

With Markus' new post, poise is now out of the pitcher and won't be in the game. However, Carlton raises some points that could be addressed with the player development curve, with some pitchers getting better at control, avoiding homers as they get older. I would like to see more of that.

I also agree that there should be a far greater penalty for using a homerun gun with an E rating at SS -- forcing today's owners to think long and hard about keeping Ozzie Smith in the modern-era lineup.
