Turn Back the Clock: 1975

Re: Turn Back the Clock: 1975

Update:

The Brewers are complete.
I WILL be going on to the Braves next ....that will complete the N.L. teams.

Because of the interleague scheduled games....I will have to wait until those final six A.L. teams are done....but I think I may have to make a couple of adjustments.

1.....lowering the catcher arm ratings a bit...(I'm not seeing enough SB numbers...but I had the generic(John Doe) numbers high...so I'll see when I finish..
2.....Seeding the teams that were non-existent in 1975 with average players(I'll just import players from the set...pitchers included) to increase those teams to winning pct.'s just below the worst teams from '75 to level out the win-loss pct.'s as a whole.
3.....just fine tuning some fielding/contact/power numbers in general...nothing major at all

Nice job on the set Knight. Nice mug on Matlack and a nice job on picking the best available option for his pitching motion. His was unique. A larger leg kick would have nailed it.

I made a batting stance change on Staub for All Star Stance 3, (knees need to be closer together) and for Milner - Veteran Stance 10. (he didn't wiggle his bat)

I remember emulating them in Little League back in the days.

Now if someone could sneak out a DLC for Shea, or even better, pre 1980 Shea for my PS4

Thanks....and I'll use those two stances!....

I will have Atlanta finished up tonight and will put the W.I.P. set up for suggestions and corrections from you guys sometime tomorrow.
It will have the entire N.L. completed(THE SHOW'S N.L. meaning Milwaukee instead of Houston)....sans how I will handle the teams that didn't exist....and the six teams in the A.L. that were in the Postseason version.

If anyone has any suggestions or corrections.....please post them.
Thanks!

N.L. Work in Progress in the Vault.

T.B.t.C.1975 N.L. WIP is the name....Knight165 author


This contains the completed N.L. teams and the 6 A.L. teams in the Postseason set.....

I made some minor fielding adjustments.....so I'd like your thoughts on the fielding as a whole......

HR totals will be high right now(due to the generic teams).....so league leaders(players...not totals) is more important to me for feedback(all areas)

Also....don't sweat it on SB totals right now....It's the area I want to tune the most.....

Have fun and PLEASE let me know anything you guys see that you would want looked at. I'm TOTALLY open to suggestions.(I know guys can get a bit guarded about sets they create.....and I get that as well......but you guys probably PLAY(as in not manage) a lot more and this feedback is important for me.(thanks!)

Of course any corrections(looks at doncropper and capa ....and a sneak at Picci too )


I would like thoughts on...
-Cub cleat color(I don't like the game blue...maybe navy?)
-Washington catcher gear color?
-Yankee cleats(navy as well?)

Anything!

Enjoy!

Mike, the overall ratings seem really low to me. Is that normal or am I reading too much into that number? (I should probably play a game with them before asking that...)

I don't look at OVR at all to be honest.
I plug in my numbers and let it fall into line.

Re: Turn Back the Clock: 1975

You probably have not looked at pitching motions and all that extra stuff...but Buzz Capra on Braves threw overhand...in game he is submariner...

The game plays so much better with the lower overalls. I hate rosters where everybody is a 99. By the way what the H*ll you have Joe Morgan as a 99 power, not on my watch (but agree with 99 for speed and discipline). He got lucky in '76.

Pete Rose and Tony Perez are rated out to the upper 70s, but their ratings look good, some attribute seems to lower out the overalls. Doesn't make sense. Same thing with my Bucs. The're overalls are low, I think the attributes are too heavily weighted against the overall.

No 99s; that is reserved for God, Clemente, Aaron, and Mays. They did not play in 75 (Clemente was dead) but they will be making guest appearances in my season.

That is his contact vs. RHP...not his power.
Morgan definitely didn't have a 99 power season.

capa....I definitely pay attention to stances/motions. Probably just an oversight.....or...(which I think it is)....I read in Myers Guide to Pitchers that he threw sidearm(they probably meant he dropped it down on a certain pitch)...I'll check on that though and change it...thanks.

Re: Turn Back the Clock: 1975

Yes....there are a few guys who I forgot either started or ended in places other than where I'm used to remembering them playing for!

Since we're on the Indians...how about Eck!

Morgan definitely didn't have a 99 power season.
