You nerfed my super hero Jazz. 🤣🤣

You should have seen what his ratings would have been if I didn't take this season into account lol

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

Had my first franchise game last night! Simmed up to the present and won 6-5 vs Oakland in 10 innings.

This year, I've decided to manage the CPU's injuries to see if I can have injuries matter for pitchers a bit more. By default, there are too many minor injuries for pitchers, so:
-if the injury is for a day or two, I keep them active
-if the injury is for a few days, 15 day IL
-if the injury is for 1-2 weeks, 15 day IL
-if the injury is for 2-3 weeks, 15 day IL
-if the injury is for 1-2 months, 15 day IL
-if the injury is for 2-3 months, 60 day IL
-if the injury is for 3+ months, 60 day IL

I've liked what I've seen so far, makes teams use more of there relievers and starters between injuries and promotions/demotions due to performance

Anyone else having a crazy amount of serious injuries with the sim sliders? Also, these rosters force you to really analyze how you build a roster. I'm struggling to get a starting pitching staff worth a crap together.

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

Only managed to play one game last night with the sliders and roster and I like the feel of it so far. I lowered the pitch speed to 7 fastball and 6 offspeed. Both at 10 just felt unrealistic. Curious to know your reasoning behind that?Strikeouts seem harder to come by so it adds a little bit more of a challenge which I like. Is there any way to change player ratings above 100? The previous roster I was using had that and I really like it as it makes the best stand out a little more, like Josh Hader's strikeouts were at 118 and Juan Soto's discipline was at 120. Does the game do it organically if a someone is playing well or is it capped at 99?

There's no way to do it, only SDS can do that. It's just a carryover from DD.

Generated players in franchise also never have values over 99.

Pitch speed is optional, but I found 10 to be the closest to real life pitch speed visually.

Try injuries at 5 and see what you think. I used 4 last year. If more think 8 is too high, I'll update.

Armor always lowers his Injuries slider for the sim engine.. he has it at 6 this year and 8 for in game.

I am following this as well as the sim engine seems to generate a lot more injuries then normal at 8.

These rosters fix a LOT of problems with the default/live rosters. It's great to see a good amount of 200+ strikeouts a year in a Franchise sim.

The only major issue im finding is that BA are extremely low across the board. I've done about 10 sims and there's only 3-5 guys total hitting over .300. Should be close to 15-20.

While the Stamina/Hook sliders work great for tuning Strikeouts/IP/CG/SHO I'm not seeing that make any change to batting averages which it normally would on default rosters.

I wonder if some global tweaks need to be made to attributes to bring averages back up when simming games.

Batting averages are a pesky one. There are typically more than the 10 players listed on the league leaderboards, but there's a PA threshold that players need to be placed on the leaderboard.

Lowering starter stamina has worked for me, but it's a tricky balance because if you decrease it too much, ERAs increase.

I also noticed that as the season goes on, batting averages go down. I wonder if durability/injuries slider affects it.

To Cycloniac and his team. Outstanding job with these per usual.

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

Cy quick question... On Jake Cousins for Brewers, is he edited on the roster but just not listed on spreadsheet?

Yes, I believe so

SSS Alert -

Opening day for M's was a home run derby - 14 hits with 8 of them for homers for us. I was using the gameplay silders but with zone hitting so will try timing next game. Love the rosters, thanks for all the work.

The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

Anyone in here just control one team and let CPU make roster moves, injuries, etc?

Im curious how smart CPU is… Like do they DFA guys that suck and call up dudes who are killing it in minors? Make moves when guys are injured and need to go on IL? And things like that.

Personally, Ive controlled all 30 teams but idk if I want to do that anymore.
