Last time I checked, 10% was 0.10 so no need to divide by 100...
Again, I'm not trying to come up with a completely new ratings scale, I'm trying to align the OSFM ratings closer to the default ratings and find out exactly how the devs come up with said ratings. These "formulas" are nothing more than tabulating the default vision and discipline ratings and trying to fit them to K% and BB%.
The scale being used by the devs isn't all-encompassing and has a fixed maximum and minimum, which is why seven players in the game have a 99 discipline rating despite Votto having far and away the best BB% (the cap is probably around 14.5%). On the other end, the bare minimum rating is a 25, which equates to ~2.3% (Josh Harrison's BB%).
Like I mentioned in my previous post, in the last stream it was evident that there is some subjectivity involved in the default ratings, which is why I'm not too hung up on having a 100% correlation. Since the ratings in The Show represent a range and not absolute hard numbers, being off here and there doesn't really matter to me as long as the overall numbers look good? How many minor leaguers have Votto's plate discipline or Juan Pierre's vision (which is pretty bang on)?
To Ridin - last year there was a change to the ratings that dropped pitching ratings and raised a few hitter ratings (vision, discipline, and possibly power and contact). Knight's charts haven't been updated to reflect these changes, which is basically what I am trying to do. First step is to figure out what stats are being used to determine ratings, next is to fit a line to the data. Straying too far from the default ratings will have no effect on the league deeper into franchise once there are a good number of drafted players.
If anyone remembers when Nomo was doing this a few years ago, this is basically the same thing. Obviously his data is out of date, hence the new data.
