I'm with the majority - this seems like a bad way to go. If it were introduced, surely we'd just seesaw between hitting and pitching form on an odd week/even...

I'm probably in the same boat as everyone else. Last season in MLB3 I put 18 onto QUI. End of season I had 0 visible QUI improvements and 1 visible drop (on...
Upping the impact of series bonuses could be a good idea, but if the majority of players continue to boost hitting (I have been trying to use pitching bonuses...
As mooted by a number of people, I'd be in favour of more variation in players. Hitters who can belt 50 HRs but can't get their average over .270 or steal a...
