Prospect Progression

Re: Prospect Progression

I have none of those in mind because to me that's so far down the priority list of Franchise it doesn't even register. Injuries happen: give me a timeframe and perhaps the option to play him hurt for increased risk of injury (like 2K). (Coincidentally, I think the Durability rating is garbage -- give players 2 separate ones, Conditioning and Injury Risk.)

I think you're spraying indiscriminately at this point. If you really want to help SDS make Franchise better for next year, focus on the true core elements of any multi-year mode: good prospects with realistic ages, attribute distributions and development curves; year-round scouting and possibly a more robust scouting system; in-season contract extensions; and more financial things to fiddle with. If SDS added even two of those next year I'd be over the moon. BASICS, BillPeener -- RPG stuff later.

All respect.

Re: Prospect Progression

Well, players' progress/regress on the 2nd of every month, so I just do a roster check on that date when sim testing. And I'd call potential progression this year progress based with some elements of randomness. I say this because Diaz, the young closer, shoots up to an A potential every time if he has a very low ERA and high SO, and I'm talking about first or second month. But I've seen the down arrow on Kris Bryant and some others where it really doesn't mean much because it's from a 96 to a 95 or something similar.

But again, agreed: dev clarification would be nice. And those emails -- I miss them too. Why the hell did they get rid of them?! They were a nice touch of immersion.

The emails are there. I just got them a few days ago.

Re: Prospect Progression

editable progression/regression curves IS at the top of my wishlist.

Re: Prospect Progression

How often do you assess your minor league player performances? Every 2 weeks, every month etc.

Obviously you can't do it too often, but don't want to risk waiting too long causing struggling players to lose potential and progression etc.

Agreed. Pro Evolution Soccer had this back in the day on PS2 of all system.

You could choose between these options:

• Standard and lasting (standard progression, slow regression)
• Early and lasting (quick progression, slow regression) - Early 20's stars
• Late and lasting (slow progression, slow regression) - late bloomers and players that remain productive deep into their 30's
• Standard and normal (standard progression, normal regression)
• Early and normal (quick progression, normal regression) - players that peak early but seem to drop off sooner than player that hit their peak later or regressed slower...think Lincecum
• Late and normal (slow progression, normal regression)

It is very simple and could probably be done better but this worked perfectly and really set players apart.

That all sounds wonderful. Got to add the busts and the up and downs though. I like the accuracy system the NHL series uses too, so you can have high risk/high reward players, and it also allows for low rated prospects to shine. We should stop talking about this. Don't want to turn this into another wishlist thread.

Re: Prospect Progression

Do you all look at overalls or just go with if a player is playing well or not when considering to move them up or down?

Personally, I take both into account. I want to see some decent attributes or hopefully some potential, but I won't move any players up that are struggling unless I just have to. I just brought up a guy due to injuries on my dbacks franchise that looked to me like a career minor league player, but his overall potential just bumped up to a be and he is 27. So maybe he will have a shot now.

Updates happen the 2nd of every month. Check then.

Re: Prospect Progression

How does everyone feel about Gleyber Torres. Is he going to be as good as people are predicting.

Re: Prospect Progression

Wait what? Their attributes only progress/regress on the 2nd day of the month and no other days? And is this for potential increases/decreases also or just for attributes?

Not STRICTLY speaking, but on the 2nd of each month you should get roster messages with updates on who's hot and who's not in your farm system. That's when MOST changes occur and, I think, the only time when potential changes occur.

I've had rare cases when high-A potential prospects go up a little bit during the month, but these monthly check-ins are when most changes occur.

MLB players seem to progress more fluidly, but only in terms of regression. Hell, Thor and Trea always seem to start regressing immediately, no matter how they're performing. Probably because one's a very low A and the other a very low B (what the hell?!).

Do we know whether or not players can gain or lose quirks?

Umm how can I say this... Yes.

I believe they can lose/gain the ones related to attributes, but not the situational ones.

Re: Prospect Progression

So what is the general rule of thumb for the different minor league levels? I'm running a sim-only franchise and I'm struggling to get over the playoff hump. Even with talented players and A-potential players, nothing is working.
