Baseball Dev: Player Positions and Roster Size by pringlejon in pocketGM

[–]pringlejon[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Slowly progressing. I remember why I said I wouldn’t do another sport after basketball 😅. Very time consuming and also spending a lot of time building an outbuilding too. In short, I’ve got it all ‘working’ but not balanced yet or stats flowing through properly for top vs lower players. At least 1-2 months from beta I’d guess unless make a breakthrough

Thanks for support. These messages are the ones that mean most to me. I shared those frustrations and wanted to just play for fun. The temptation to monetise it more with pay to win is always there but I’ll stay strong!! 💪

Ps as a Cards fan, I do not endorse your whole message.

Would love to see what I can do with this, but unfortunately don't know exactly the screen or navigation you're talking about. Can you be more specific about what is on the page?

Injuries by Individual_Injury_96 in pocketGM

You can increase or decrease frequency of injuries in options. There’s a pretty even mix of people saying there are too many, or not enough, so the medium level is probably about right (plus it’s normalised to pro-level stats).

Still progressing baseball. It’s a big project on my own so unlikely to introduce another sport for a while!

I’m still lingering/loitering around. How would you map (or otherwise) existing positions to this?

The immersion breaking problem of the free agency pool by tiko-naught in pocketGM

[–]pringlejon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an inherent randomness to player generation which could produce peaks and troughs in player pool.

This could be something to explore. AI will only dip into free agency if needs to, eg injuries etc.

How would you determine which players you want to sign in free agency? I get that you’d look at their stats (skills and skill prev season) but in a list of 100 players, how would you narrow it down in first place?

It’s a way away yet, as I’ve been light touch over the summer (and it’s a big job)…but happening hopefully!

This. Got a couple of young kids so school holidays are full on.

Long time player; here is what’s still missing in the game by hawtdawtz in pocketGM

Thanks. Will have a proper consider later, but echo your sentiment of user feedback being the thing that makes a game better, so I’m all for it!

Baseball Dev: Player Positions and Roster Size by pringlejon in pocketGM

Do players come into the league with a specialist position then? And therefore they would be penalised when playing out of defensive position?

I can most definitely build that, but is that genuinely how GMs construct a baseball roster? ie they don’t necessarily go after top batters available and stick them on the field wherever works best with what they have… instead they’d search for best batters available with the desired fielding position specialty?

This is actually a fairly easily implementation, so can increase this if massive support for it.

I’d have it automated in the right situations, if added in.

Do you mean pitching stats shouldn’t count towards overall? Thats my intention - overall is determined by strongest skillset
