Say I have a "B" bunter. I set my managerial style to "bunt more", however I have given my hitter the red light and "dont bunt". What takes prescedence? The managerial style or the individual setting

Thank you in advance.

I don't think anyone knows, or that it is even possible to know, but then I am not a fan up bunting. I will allow 'A's to bunt, but as a team I am consertive.

I think it has to do with what HAL calculates the chances to be. The more agressive you are the less HAL will bunt for the HAL of it. I know SB works this way, but bunting anf H&R I'm not sure about.

I prefer pitcher's parks and batters who can H&R and bunt. I set my last two teams on "normal" with regards to both, then adjusted my A bunters and B H&R's. I lead the league in H&R and SAC attempts (which, to me, means that my tagged players are actually set on "aggressive").

I think the managerial strategy is the baseline chance HAL does anything, and the adjustment simply takes the player to the next level (meaning if my bunt level were "conservative"," and I tagged an A bunter to "Bunt More," he would bunt at a "normal" rate.).

However, HAL is still HAL [which means, basically, "d'oh!"]

what's bunting?
