In playing with the Lahman database and setting up a historical season (say, 1951), if Simulation Mode is ON, how predictable will be the results? I mean, is there still some degree of unpredictability that some past HOF just might not develop fully? It sounds like with this OFF, it becomes a random crapshoot. I'm just wondering of a happy medium.

OK. This is kind of cool, yet creepy, at the same time:
If there's an accompanying news story, then I can get behind it, I think.

Death usually robs most people of the opportunity to show off their skills, I think.

Until today I never tought I'd play Baseball Mogul again and suddenly with OOTP being far off and Puresim no longer doing it for me, Mogul is looking very attractive.

Same here. I had wanted to play baseball again but my only choice was to go back to OOTP5 because v6 didn't do it for me. That seemed kinda silly. The last time I saw BM was a demo in 2000. It sure has come a long ways.

I seem to recall in the version of BBM that somewhere down the road women's names entered the mix, so I don't think this is a new thing. Being able to set when (if?) they do so is new (at least since BBM2000, the last one I played).

I would think there's some kind of flag within the game that occurs when a player is considered retired - once this happens, the scouting report ought to change to something that describes what kind of hitter he was in his prime, or is simply blank. |

Women, aliens, and robots were in the first version of Baseball Mogul. I know this as it is the only version I have.
(well, women as players and aliens & robots as agents. Don't remember if aliens and robots became players.) |

Ran some overnight tests to take a look at average player age of everday players (which is one of my pet peeves in OOTP--with default settings leagues are usually 1.5-2 years too old). A couple of comments, one positive, and one negative:
POSITIVE: It is VERY easy to export any data from the game, including data from one team, either league, or the entire universe. As Clay mentioned earlier, on the Team-->Roster screen, you can pick what fields are shown in the report, and there are 8 default reports that can be loaded. Point being, it was VERY easy to grab the average age for >350 AB players. I just selected the entire league, included age and AB's, sorted by AB's, right-clicked and selected "Copy Players to Clipboard," opened Excel, pasted into Excel, did a massive deleted of players under 350 AB's, and then ran the "AVERAGE" function on age. This export feature should be a HUGE help for dynasty reporting. I'll give an example in a moment. NEGATIVE: Just like OOTP, not enough young players are getting into the league when they should. Average age of >350 AB players should be aprox. 28.8. It is running in the 32 range right now in Mogul. I've reported this issue to Clay. Here's an example of an export that took me about 30 seconds to do:

1. How well do the new features work? Will I really have to pay significantly more money to sign a guy when a team with one of his friends is also pursuing him? Will it cost more to sign a guy who thinks my organization is heading in the wrong direction? Do team and player options make a difference on contracts? Do call-ups/demtions in the expanded minor leagues work well? 2. How buggy will it be on release? As always, I really hope Clay holds it until the obvious bugs are squashed. I've yet to run into anything monumental like a crash bug, but there are still some bugs present. There are (so far) three "Things I Know For Sure" so far about this version: 1. The two hallmarks of the Mogul franchise are still there: outstanding interface and oustanding sim speed. This version still blows everything else away in these two areas. 2. *Much* more attention has been paid to the customer base. A survey was taken on their web site (posted earlier in this thread) of what were the top new features desired, and they implemented all of the Top 6. 3. This isn't a tiny upgrade to the last version--which was one of the primary complaints about the Mogul franchise in the past several years. I'd at least say that it deserves attention. I'm going to spend a couple of hours or so this morning actually playing the game, and give some more comments at that point.

I loved Baseball Mogul way back when, I'm kinda sad that I threw away some of the old versions. These screens are real nice I love additions. OOTP never did it for me. The presentation or something was wrong there. One thing I love about the BBM series is the fast simming and it looks like you can still do that. Can't wait to hear more.

Ben,
Try to find if there are any busts or booms out of the draft. This goes hand-in-hand with my earlier pet peeve - spend a lot of money on scouting and the effect is lowering the +- range on the player's overall rating. Spend enough money and you pretty much have a bulls-eye understanding of each and every player, including prospects. You therefore can horde the good players because you know exactly who they are (who's career is fading before his statistics show they are, as well as the really good prospects). IMHO, there should be less variance between the true value of a player and his rating as the player progresses through his career. However, prospects, as we all know, are only a step above wild speculation until they get to the higher levels of the minor leagues. In last year's version of BBM, this wasn't the case.

Yeah, I just timed a season from 1/1/07 to 1/1/08 took a grand total of 50 seconds on this machine. It is very easy to check this. You have access to all past drafts on the "transaction" screen--and of course every player is clickable right to his player card.

SD,
How do the BB/K correlations look with pitchers and hitters? For example, in the data you posted above, I see a guy with 129/54 BB/K numbers, yet he only hit .270. Are power pitchers with some control typically better than most soft-tossers, and are the guys with good BB/K ratios typically the best hitters? On a whole, "out of the box," do the league ERAs/Avgs/HRs, etc., seem reasonable? If one was to start a historical career, do the numbers reflect the era, or is there some sort of file we have to manipulate for hours (like in OOTP) to get the era setting down right? I know some of these aren't questions you can answer at this point, but they are questions I'm interested in hearing answers to, as they will probably determine whether I give this game a try. I lost interest in OOTP last year, most likely because setting up my leagues was too hard, and I got sick of having to run multiple tests to make sure the "deadball" era simmed properly. Too much work.

DRAFT BOOMS/BUSTS
First off, it looks like I was a little off: 15 years of draft picks are viewable/clickable, not every single one in league history. Good enough for this check, though. I'm at the end of 2041. Here are the top 10 picks from 2027. 1(1): SP Rodney Longbehn--122-133, 4.19 ERA--led league in strikeouts once (2040), all star twice (2038 and 2040) 1(2): CF Gregg Burns--lifetime .754 OPS. --gold glove once 1(3): 1B James Manning--lifetime .789 OPS-three seasons of >30 HR's 1(4): SP James McGlathery--94-102, 4.36 ERA, but has been very strong the past 5-6 seasons. perfect game once---ERA over 4.00 only once since 2033--probably rushed a bit...born 2008....hit league in 2029, and had 3 1/2 awful season...put it together with 10-9, 3.94 at age 25, and has been solid since 1(5): 1B Ever Padilla--star slugger--lifetime .944 OPS--two seasons of 60+ homers, and five of 40+--7 All Stars, 3 MVPS, 10 Gold Gloves, ROY 1(6): SP Daniel Heyert--107-95, 4.11--1-time All-Star 1(7): C Harry Dixon--lifetime .310 hitter-starter for last 10 seasons--8 Gold Gloves, 1 -time All Star 1(8); RP Herman Hurst--never became a closer--lifetime 31-29, 3.79 ERA in 453 appearances 1(9): RP Luis Clavet--45-41, 3.51 ERA, 238 saves--spent 7 seasons as closer--1-time NL saves leader 1(10): SS Mike Modzinski--complete bust---33 years old now, and has never had a season with >421 AB's Looking at Padilla's player card made me notice something that made me happy: By the way, it turns out that the AAA listing on his card is a reporting bug, which has been reported to Clay. As far as booms are concerned, I figure the best way to examine that is to look at some league leaders, and see when they were drafted. TOP TEN HR HITTERS THIS YEAR 1(5)--67 1(2)--57 2(13)--57 1(22)--52 2(7)--49 5(25)--46 1(7)--46 4(27)--44 1(10)--43 1(16)--41 I can live with that. TOP ERA PITCHERS THIS YEAR 1(12)--1.82 1(21)--2.28 1(30)--2.40 4(12)--2.64 3(30)--2.70 1(4)--2.71 3(5)--2.88 4(28)--2.97 1(1)--2.99 1(6)--3.00 I can live with that, too. ACTIVE TOP-FIVE CAREER HOME RUN LEADERS 1(19)--541 1(5)--454 3(30)--452 3(21)--451 1(5)--448 ACTIVE TOP-FIVE CAREER WIN LEADERS 1(1)--290 1(4)--253 1(1)--213 2(12)--203 1(3)--201 (Note--of the next five career win leaders, only one was a first round pick.) THOUGHTS AT THIS POINT: Booms and busts definitely happen. Right now, the Braves are middle-of-the-road (#14) in scout spending, and have a variance of +/- 8 points. That is pretty significant on a game with a scale of 75-100 for major league caliber ratings. My initial thought, based on past experiences with Mogul, is that as long as you're not using the Yankees, Mets, or Dodgers, there will be times when, in order to keep your star players, you'll have to drop down to middle-of-the-road or worse in scouting. If that is the case, a player rated 83 could be anything from a 75-rating (usually not an everyday player) to 91. Putting the game in commish mode, I can see that there are only 11 players in the entire current universe with *true* overall ratings of 91 or better--and 9 of those 11 put up star-caliber numbers this year. That's a pretty dang wide scout variance.

I wonder, however, what the bust's ratings were at draft time. Were they just poor picks by the AI, or were these actual prospects that didn't pan out? I'm crossing my fingers it's the latter.

Okay, can someone explain why it wouldn't be very easy to implement at least a very basic R/L split theory into the sim engine?
I'm really looking for a new baseball sim. I used to use both DMB and OOTP, but I'm pretty much done with OOTP right now. I'll still use DMB for my league, but I'm looking for a single-player sim. [shameless plug]FWIW, my league is at http://www.texasprojectionleague.net and I'm looking for a couple of owners for our expansion. And someone that wants to assist with commissioner duties would be greatly appreciated as I just started a new job in a new city and I'm incredibly busy.[/shameless plug]

I'm with you on the L/R thing. I just don't get it. Particularly when we don't even have the option of playing with fictional players, what this means is that if Jesse Orosco pitches 50 innings with a 2.00 ERA, in the game you'd be able to use him in 50 1-inning appearances like a normal reliever, when in real life, he probably would pitch in 90 games to get those 50 innings, and only face lefties.
Even if I'm simming on a global level and not playing/watching each game, I still want the game to approximate real baseball, and right or wrong, lefty/righty matchups are a very real part of the game.

While I certainly understand the context of this post, I think this evidence doesn't really persuade me that this isn't a needed addition. Rather, it mostly persuades me that the fans of this game, who would vote in such a poll, just value very different things in their games than I do. I remain absolutely staggered that there is a baseball sim game that has seen so much improvement, so much thought, and so much expansion -- that for whatever reason refuses to recognize the very elemental fact that left/right splits in baseball are simply fundamental. While I generally try to be sensitive to arguments in favor of "simpler" games in favor of more complex ones (to suit the desires of gamers who would prefer such) it's just very hard to reconcile the layered contract negotiations in this game (which seems like a very well-conceived element of the game, but by any reckoning pretty complex) with this idea that recognizing left/right lineups and pitching assigments is "too complicated" for this game. You just can't honestly put those two arguments side by side in my book. If the poll you posted is a fair representation of what the BM fanbase wants... then I'm not in a position to judge. Implement the things that they want most, I suppose. I wish Clay and company well with it. But for me, this game has a litmus test, and always will. Until the game recognizes this fundamental aspect of the game of baseball -- it simply demonstrates that it's not taking things seriously enough to be on my buy list.

Thanks for confirming I'm nt the only one on the l/r thing. Refusing to add that is suggests this programmer doesn't understand baseball, and therefore this game, no matter how many bells and whistles, is not worthy of my time. How can you make a baseball game for 7 years and not get one of the fundemental parts of the game in it? Baffling.

Actually, that's not the top 6 at the top of the poll results listing. Manager signing/firings is listed below something it got more votes than. Same with platoon splits. L/R splits came in 7th with only 3 fewer votes than 6th. It's important.

There's a possible correlary here, too. After five or six iterations of this game without the addition of something as fundamental to baseball as left/right splits, maybe the real baseball fans just gave up, bailed out on this series, and sensibly migrated elsewhere. Thus, when the poll is taken of those who remained, this was no longer a significant issue. Again, I really have no quarrel with that business model, and I hope things work out fine -- I think the sports sim industry benefits from every vibrant addition, even those that have zero appeal for me personally, so I'm happy to see this franchise taking an apparent big step forward. |

The issue here is whether this type of thing should even be considered a "feature" or "option." It's hard to draw an analogy (maybe someone can come up with something appropriate), but imagine a football game without punting, or one where all defensive players were simply lumped into "linemen" or "backs" with no further delineation of duties. That's what this is akin to, IMO.
It's a major part of the game - statistics demonstrate the correlation. Now, you can quibble with how the general idea is actually implemented by people like Tony LaRussa, who will use 4 or 5 guys in one inning (bringing to mind the Simpsons episode where Burns pinch-hit for Strawberry), but even at its most basic level, it is a part of the game. And as such, it has to be added.

Can you do online leagues with Mogul? Like can GMs export and all that shiz? Also, the fact that the export just goes to sloppy text doesn't really bode too well. I would never take all that time just to fix the reports.

Hasn't he been making this game from the begining? Then this couldn't have always been said about him, because I remember long ago when I purchased BM, and the chief complaint I saw on every messageboard/chat at that times was l/r. He has ignored this complaint for 7 years, and has cost himself many, many customers in the proccess. |

But SD, I was there 5 years ago. I suggested/asked/pleaded for it (nicely). I gave up. Now granted, had the game continued to progress, I might have stuck around and fought the fight a little longer, but that didn't happen so I gave up on the game completely.
However, with as many improvements as have been made, and with this still sitting on the sideline, I get the feeling that any further pleading I do will be about as effective as a request for avatars, the return of the QOTM, and our own board around here (can I get an Amen, FN?).

Clay doesn't understand baseball or business if in 7 years he still hasn't added l/r splits. |
