Skills question

I bought a box today and got Byron Buxton...he is double skilled...walkoff and RISP.....since all skills that become active provide a boost to the batter....if both skills are activated to the 7\20  and both are active is there a difference between skills...or are they just batter boosts

    They will stack. In your example, you'll have a total of 14%.
    If you're not having fun, you're losing.

    However if you boost 1 skill to 7 and 1 to 8, you get 16. I love math.

    Here is how the math works on double skills (and batting boosts if you get them. To make it simple, I’ll say the player has a hit rating of 100.  2 skills, both at 10% and a 15% live boost. 

    The boosts get added in 1 at a time and then added to the new total. It’s the same principle as compound interest. 

    100 hit rating + 10% for the first skill is now a hit rating of 110. 

    110 hit rating plus another 10% (10% of 110 is 11), so the new rating is 121

    121 hit rating plus the 15% live boost (15% of 121 is 18.15 which rounds down to 18) which gives you a final hit rating of 139, even though the boosts added together are 135. 

    It it took me a good 15 minutes to get @dkarski87 to understand this. He hates math. 

    The above scenario of 7% and 8% comes out to 15.56 boost which rounds up to 16

    here is visual evidence from my favorite player I left behind in 2018

    This is particularly great when we're able to level our skills really high. In '18, for example, all my 20/20 bats were 44% without any further boost for the reasons that @Bigpredfan explained above.
    If you're not having fun, you're losing.
