League batting avg the past 3 seasons has hovered around .240 but is now at .270.

League ERA around 3.80 ish past 3 seasons and now 4.70 ish.

It makes zero sense on the why it's back though. Nothing changed

I did not notice a change last year and this year it kicked in much more. I know we we have super high averages at the top of the leaderboard right now but the league avg is .273. My goal was to get it somewhere between .260-.270 so its not far off from where I'd like it.

Everyone needs to understand that it is all relative and it is basically setting a baseline. So if the game default modifiers say we want league average .234 and this many HRs in a season and I change them it is just changing the baseline we are shooting for. It does not give anyone any kind of advantage so don't bitch at me for not making a poll or something. I discussed this stuff with a few commissioners and Neurotic who does it in the Dugout as well before tinkering. I'll find the sweet spot and we will be set until OOTP 23.

Feels a lot why my team suddenly went from 117 wins to under .500 in 83. Offense was fucking sus last year. Esp when I built my whole lineup on the premise of the HR standard. Understand about the changes but a heads up would have been nice.
