Sim Stats - Team ERA too low

[Blazzen]

Anyone else notice team ERA's are too low? I've been playing 1 out of every 6 games with the Braves in my franchise so these are mostly sim results. I have it sorted by ERA below. This is just after the all star break in my current franchise.

I've posted below from Yahoo Sports the 2010 ERA numbers. ERA seems a bit low in my season compared to the below. Numbers were similar in previously simulated seasons.

Re: Sim Stats - Team ERA too low

I don't know, those ERAs look good to me.

- 3.31 versus 3.36 as the lowest team ERAs.

- 25 teams versus 29 teams with an ERA of 4.30 or less.

Can't ask for much more than that with sim results. That's pretty close.

[Trevytrev11]

Re: Sim Stats - Team ERA too low

Yeah, they do look a little low (25 teams under 4 compared to 11 in real life). The overall range could be a little wider with more teams in the mid to upper 4's.

And I think it's safe to say that you have enough games in to have a large enough sample size.

We also know that HR leaders are down (seems like most people were seeing 32-25 HR's leade the league), so it makes sense that if power is down than runs would be down and ERA's would be a little low.

Do sliders matter? I know in some games, slider settings affect sim stats. Maybe people need to raise contact/power sliders when simming.

That's a really good point. I wonder if sliders do affect sim stats. Does anyone know this for sure?

Albert Pujols had 47 HRs last year in my franchise...all simmed. I think that was a problem last year, but this year they seem pretty accurate. Also, averages are more normal (last year they were all WAY to low).

I haven't noticed any abberations in the sim stats yet this year...and the ones listed above are pretty damn accuracte if you ask me

Re: Sim Stats - Team ERA too low

Re: Sim Stats - Team ERA too low

those ERA's look pretty good IMO

Range - MLB2K11 SIM vs. MLB2010
Under 3.5 - 7 vs. 2
3.5 to 3.74 - 7 vs. 5
3.75 to 3.99 - 11 vs. 4
4 to 4.24 - 3 vs. 12
4.25 and up - 2 vs 7

This is why I thought they were a little off. Pittsburg with a 5 ERA is a bit of an outlier for sure. They are a little low, especially considering last year was the year of the pitcher (or was that 2009?).

I did look at OBP and SLG and a couple other stats and they are SOLID, really solid. Probably some of the best sim stats 2k series has seen, just missed it ever so slightly on the ERA.

Re: Sim Stats - Team ERA too low

So what is driving the lower ERA???

Your stats are for a total of 1,389 games (or 2,778 individual team games), which is 57.16% of a full 162 game season. On average, every team has played 92.6 games.

Full Year Projections vs. 2010 Actuals

Runs
Game - 20,170
Real Life - 21,308.

-This means that 1,138 fewer runs would be scored in your season than in real life. This is roughly .23 runs per game. Assuming 90%+ of runs score are earned, you are looking at .21-ish increase to ERA, which is pretty significant.

Runners lead to runs
Game - 44,823 hits + 16,298 walks = 61,121 Walks + Hits
Real life - 42,554 hits + 15,778 walks = 58,332 Walks + Hits
*From the info you gave, I don't have HBP's and Reach on Errors, but those are small potato's compared to walks + hits.

-So in the game an additional 2,789 runners are put on base, but 1,138 fewer runs are scored.

Run conversion (Runs / (Walks + Hits)):
Real life: 36.53%
Game: 33.00%

- So for every 100 runners that get on base in real life, 3.5 more runs score than in the game.

Why are fewer runners scoring?

Extra Base Hits:

Home Runs:
Game - 4,319
Real Life - 4,613

300 More HR's in real life. Assuming a good chunk of these are hit with guys on base, you have a large reason of why the runs are down.

I don't have your figures for Doubles and Triples, but in real life there were 8,486 doubles and 866 triples.

About 2/3 of all hits are singles and 1/3 are for extra bases in real life. I'd be curious to see this breakdown in your game and see how it compares. My guess is that it is lower.

OBP and SLG % are both pretty close, but they are both lower in the game (SLG is about .012 lower (.402 vs .390).

The bottom line is that it looks like hitters are just a little bit less powerful in the game than compared to real life, which leads to favorable ERA's.

Re: Sim Stats - Team ERA too low

So what is driving the lower ERA???

Your stats are for a total of 1,389 games (or 2,778 individual team games), which is 57.16% of a full 162 game season. On average, every team has played 92.6 games.

Full Year Projections vs. 2010 Actuals

Runs
Game - 20,170
Real Life - 21,308.

-This means that 1,138 fewer runs would be scored in your season than in real life. This is roughly .23 runs per game. Assuming 90%+ of runs score are earned, you are looking at .21-ish increase to ERA, which is pretty significant.

Runners lead to runs
Game - 44,823 hits + 16,298 walks = 61,121 Walks + Hits
Real life - 42,554 hits + 15,778 walks = 58,332 Walks + Hits
*From the info you gave, I don't have HBP's and Reach on Errors, but those are small potato's compared to walks + hits.

-So in the game an additional 2,789 runners are put on base, but 1,138 fewer runs are scored.

Run conversion (Runs / (Walks + Hits)):
Real life: 36.53%
Game: 33.00%

- So for every 100 runners that get on base in real life, 3.5 more runs score than in the game.

Why are fewer runners scoring?

Very good analysis.

CPU is the one that has this issue while batting. Too much dinking and dunking with 40 contact 70 power. CPU also K's too much which makes it harder for them to drive in those runs. I think the next thing I will try is 50 contact 75 power for the cpu.

Do you know if sliders effect sim results?

Re: Sim Stats - Team ERA too low

Do you know if sliders effect sim results?

No idea...sadly, I've only been able to play 3 or 4 full games.

An easy test would be to set contact and power to 0 and sim a full season and then set them all to 100 and sim a full season and compare the stats...not sure how long that would take, but hopefully someone can run that. If they do effect sim stats, we would expect to see a huge jump in offense from the first scenario to the second.

I did that, and slider settings make no difference. Example: with power sliders at 100, the most HRs by anyone was 39. With power sliders at 0, two players hit 40+ HRs. And league-leading batting averages in both cases were in the .335 range.

Crappy....Do you know if the stats are the same on Rookie vs. Legend?

However, in reality, these are pretty damn good sim stats. If we are 300 or so HR's short for an entire season for all teams, we are talking about 10 HR's per team or 1 HR per team for every 16 games....it's really not noticable until you look at the stats across the board.

This seems to be what is driving the lower ERA's (along with what i assume is lower doubles and triples), but luckily the ERA's are only slightly down. Overall, things are pretty good.
