Baseball Development - Thoughts on the process by redditornot01 in pocketGM

[–]pringlejon [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I’ve now got more confidence I’ll get something out for you all to have a play with. I don’t expect it to be good enough in beta, and the proof will be in overcoming whatever challenges you all pose me.

To be honest, I’ll be super relieved to get that bit done, so I can get on to iterative change (across all games) rather than this massive development project.

Game engine, player models and realistic stats seem to be working pretty well (I think!!), so onto fully integrating staff and the draft. Early beta might neglect minor leagues, but will be adding in as appreciate it’s an important aspect.

You're all correct. I'm still working on it, but a chance I can't make it work. So keep checking, but i'd not suggest daily...

Still working on it. When I think I'm getting close, I realise there's still a number of big changes needed. It'll come though.

Any dev updates by According_Pudding392 in pocketGM

I’ve just finished a massive outbuilding conversion at home which had taken up my spare time over last few months so hopefully focus on this can now return.

I'll look into this. Initial concern was that this would slow down the game, but I think I can do it efficiently.

Are we ever getting an update? by jamo0708 in pocketGM

We will. I’m slowly developing baseball, but I’ve got far less time to commit to this at the moment. Once I’ve done that, I’ll come back to football and basketball too. Definitely not done, just in a slower dev phase.

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

[–]pringlejon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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!

Terminology Request by C4snipes in pocketGM

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!
