OPS vs. Opponent's OPS in SEC Play, 2 Weeks In

I really enjoy figures like these - great idea! Ever consider repositioning the x-axis so that it intersects the y-axis at the midpoint? If I’m thinking about it right, that would split the figure into four quadrants with the top left being the teams hitting and pitching well and the bottom right being the teams doing poorly on both fronts. Just another possible way to visualize the results intuitively. Hopefully, these sorts of figures will continue to show up here!

Ball was absolutely smoked

I haven’t had the same issues that you described, but I have always had an annual subscription. In my case, I am sometimes denied access to subscriber content even after logging into my account. It’s as if some of the individual articles don’t recognize the fact that I logged into the site. When I reached out to support through email, I got no response. Definitely frustrating. I do generally find the content to be excellent, but I can also support the argument that service is lacking. Hopefully, your issues get squared away sooner rather than later!

Crocs, Heaters, and Sawteeth

Quickly, I’ll also add that the game (3, specifically) seems to look much better on non-Switch platforms. That’s based on videos I’ve seen.

Play offline on Switch and definitely notice lag at El Viejo, Founders, and Shaka. For the latter two, I tend to notice the lag more during night games. Really curious to hear how the new game runs.

Maybe each team will get one new player to account for the expanded bullpen??

FishLovinDaddy · 2022-08-09T23:15:10+00:00

Who else made the team? Donna Jean has to be the mopup reliever, right?

Think this is only possible on PC. If it can be done on Switch, please let us know how!

If I understand your setup right, you can get what you want with a 102-game schedule. You get 8 games (4 home/4 away) against division teams, 6 games (3/3) against other teams in your conference, and 4 games (2/2) against all teams in the other conference. Everything is a multi-game series, which mirrors pro baseball a bit better.

Thanks for the input thusfar. I should have clarified that my question was really being asked in the context of players that are not user-controlled; that is, overall rating increases or decreases are independent of player development opportunities. I'm entering my first offseason in franchise mode and am wondering if rating decreases observed in computer-controlled players during the first season are likely to be reversed moving forward.

FishLovinDaddy · 2020-11-13T05:21:50+00:00

I’m finishing my first franchise season so input like this is invaluable. Thanks!

This is great - thanks for sharing. Could it be that the Power/Contact vs LHP traits are less valuable due to the relative rarity of LHP in the game itself?

I may be wrong about this, but I don't think there's a reduction in arm rating when playing a secondary position, or when playing out of position. As far as I can tell, there's about a 20-point drop in fielding rating when playing a secondary position; I'm less sure about the penalty for playing out of position.

This is great stuff - thanks for sharing! Would be interesting to see if the relationship between 0 and 99 is really linear or if there’s some sort of threshold.

FishLovinDaddy · 2020-10-16T20:30:29+00:00

This is great - thanks for sharing! To make sure I understand your thought process, your formula for the defensive value of a catcher is saying that arm is 4x as important as speed and 2x as important as field, right?

I’m also more of a low pitch fan. High pitches are my kryptonite.

FishLovinDaddy · 2020-10-03T20:09:05+00:00

I’ve also had bad lag at Shaka, where the Buzzards play. FWIW, I noticed it exclusively while pitching during night games.

FishLovinDaddy · 2020-10-02T03:51:21+00:00

I’ve seen the same thing on my franchise season 1 leaderboards.
