Same old simulation problems in franchise

Re: Same old simulation problems in franchise

I have 2 sets of sliders and just load one set for simming and one for when I play.

I would think adjusting the CPU sliders would affect sims maybe. I'm not sure on that though.

If you're worried about IP from your Closer, you need closer scores. They'll only put a closer in, in a sim, if it's a save situation.

Thats just bad programming then if they dont program it to where he will come in in non-save situations. I want them to make the game right, not to have to do constant workarounds to try and get realism.

Kimbrel's career ERA is 1.45 in 245 innings in real life. Doubtful he would have an ERA about 3. Mariano Rivera (widely considered the best closer ever) only had one season in which his ERA was about 3. Just throwing that out there.

That being said, you have such a small sample size. You can't go into playing "The Show" thinking that every statistic will mirror the real life counterpart because that just isn't realistic...or logical. Too many variables are in place in a video game, especially simulating games.

Re: Same old simulation problems in franchise

I just looked in my franchise and I simmed the first season. Kimbrel had an ERA under 2 and around 40 saves. I didn't look around the league though, just Kimbrel.

This is Kimbrel we are talking about, not a has been Nathan or a no better than avg romo lol.

I just don't understand why you would want a game where the outcomes are basically predetermined. I would rather have guys go through ups and downs as they do in real life.

its the usage thats BS, if the game is coded to where closers ONLY come in in a save situation when games are simmed thats a broken part of the game. Any fan knows thats not now teams run.

Almost 3 months into this real life season. Greg Holland has pitched in 28 games. 22 of those being save situations. 1 of the games he came in with out a save situation was the first game of the year. Another one was 4 days ago. So between April 1st and June 19th. He played in only 6 games that were not save situations. He hasnt been injured. And KC has been pretty AVG. A team almost never brings in a closer when they are trailing. They almost never bring him in when they are up by 4 or more and he cant get a save. When they do its cause he hasn't had much work.

The amount of factors that can go into a player not getting the amount of playing time he should means one season after 2 month is way to short to judge. I have had no issues with it. Other here have said they have no issues. Yet you continue to call it an issue.

Re: Same old simulation problems in franchise

I just saw the Issues you were describing in regards to Kimbrel....my son and I are huge Braves fans...so in our fantasy drafted franchise, we keep an eye on Braves that are not on our rosters....we have noticed that the Kimbrel in our franchise gets HAMMERED....alot!..I would say his ERA has never been lower than 5.00.very odd

Re: Same old simulation problems in franchise

I am 125 games into my season. I do not play as the Braves.

Kimbrel has pitched in 40 games. It looks they are all save situations.

He is 1-4, 3.41 ERA, 32 SV, 7 BSV, 9.43 K/9

This would be a down year for Kimbrel but they don't look crazy.

Re: Same old simulation problems in franchise

I just completed the 2016 draft in my braves franchise (All-Star using TNK sliders). I simulate most of the games and I am still seeing the inflated ERA's for pitchers when simming. The most glaring example I have found is kimbrel. He has pitched 11 and 1/3 innings on the season (why has he only pitched 11 n 1/3 into the first week of june). His line is a 7.15 ERA with 9 ER and 9 Ks, but he still has 10 saves.

Anyways, when will the simmed stats ever more reflect real life? Simmed scores have always been out of hand.

What are Kimbrel's real life stats for 2016? This seems unknowable to me.

Have you looked around the league at other closers? What are their stats like? What were his stats like in previous seasons?
