xml problems with pitcher INFLUENCE_STUFF and _CONTROL

Shaun and/or Steve,

I've been working on the player generation adjustments in the xml, and I have run into problems with pitcher INFLUENCE_STUFF and INFLUENCE_CONTROL.

To give some background, what I am trying to do is adjust player generation, first for real player associations that move beyond 2008/09, and second for fictional associations. What I'm doing could also be used for real player assocaitions that want to seed with some fictional players for a mixed league. I'm trying to create a draft pool where there might be a handful of major league ready players, if any. With the current adjustments, there are a lot of players (too many in my opinion) that are ready for the show.

Anyway, I have run into problems with the pither stuff and control adjustments. fyi I am seeding each amateur draft with 300 players. For some reason, the game only allows the stuff and control rating of the top player in each of these two categories to go so low. For example, if I set all hitter and pitcher adjustments to .01, the top rated pitcher stuff is still somewhere around 55 or 60, and the top rated pitcher control ends up anywhere in the 60's to the 90's. The ratings of the top players in each of the rest of the categories varies from around 7 to 10, with potential being a bit higher at around 16 to 20. The rest of the ratings I can work with. But, I was hoping you could look into the stuff and control adjustments. I'm assuming that something in the code is keeping the stuff and control ratings artificially high even though the xml adjustments are set to .01. It would make sense to me that stuff and control should adjust like the other ratings. Please let me know if there is anything you can do about this. This is my last xml project before I dive into making adjustments to the season totals to get to more realistic results in real player associations.

Thanks,

Dave
