So I'm typing this up now to see what you guys' opinions on manually editing Regressing players throughout a franchise...
As we all know the progression/regression system seems to be pretty off at times and no matter how Great an aging player does, he'll regress to oblivion. I figure this could be a way to keep some older Vets who perform in the league. I just hate to see someone like Verlander, who has had back to back seasons at age 36/37 with sub-3 ERA's regress from 96 OVR to a 70 OVR in a single season regardless of performance.
I understand every player can't play forever, but MLB The Show's regression seems so overboard that there never again will ever be a player playing into his 40s. I understand players like Nolan Ryan, Barry Bonds, Verlander are rare BUT it does happen and it will never happen under The Show's progression system.
This idea has come to me and I figure it would work like this:
At the end of every month throughout the Season, Use the player search tool to search for every player at or over the age of 33? (Unsure exactly when regression begins) and then from there I look at those players Stats ( Who are in the MLB) and Edit their attributes based upon their performance.
Obviously, players would only get a portion of lost points back unless they are just going insane for an entire year.
Here's an example. Currently in my franchise I've played 15 games. I mentioned Verlander earlier so I'll stick with him..
Here's his stat line thus far:
3 GS 22.0 IP 7 ER 2.86 ERA 24 Ks
So through 3 games into his age 38 season, Verlander has been keeping pace with his previous years. However it is a small sample size.
Well, through just THREE! starts, Verlander has regressed -4 Attributes in every single pitching attribute... Although he's top 12 in ERA in the AL... That just makes no sense to me.
Hopefully this makes sense to those reading and basically I'm asking for input on what maybe are some good thresholds to use when it comes to adding back attribute points to players. I.E if a player aged 33-35 pitches a 2.5-3.00 ERA, they retain 90% of attributes lost or something like that. That's a very raw standard but you get the point.
Any input is welcome!
