You didnt like the new Riven Tides map? Great, cause you'll be getting even less content now.

$500m in sales and 1,000 employees, and we cant even get 1 new map which is the same quality as the launch maps? And now we're only getting 2 maps per year?! Man, I guess my expectations for this game need to be completely reset. We should have listened to The Finals players who warned us.

Isn't the whole point of UE5 that its easy to use? Isn't map editing like a very basic dev thing which interns and low level employees can do based on concept art?

If Embark are too busy making new games, just release the map editor to the community. We could do 10x this output in 1/10th the time. Let us make and use custom community maps if youre abandoning the game for your next venture.

Why doesnt Baseball Savant provide arm data for catchers?

There's 5 different catchers metrics, but unlike other position players, catchers dont get an "Arm Strength" stat. This seems quite odd to me, as Arm Strength is a crucial defensive stat for catchers and it is provided for everyone else on the field.

For example, how do I determine how good Red's catcher Tyler Stephensons Arm is, just based on Statcast and not relying on possibly unreliable scouting reports?

We get 5 defensive stat categories for catchers. His #s:

Fielding Value: 15

Blocks Above Average: 95

Caught Stealing Above Average: 46

Framing: 2

Pop Time: 29

Based on this, Im basically left guessing, that his arm is mostly Average, based on the 46th % CSAA stat. Looking at previous years, hes never excelled in this particular stat. But given that his Pop Time, which *is* measured, has been pedestrian at best, maybe his arm is actually pretty good, to make up for that and be an overall average catcher at throwing out runners.

Im new to this Reddit community, sorry if this has come up before or isnt relevant. Thanks folks ❤️
