I have found the key to getting more home runs by the CPU too!!

[donjn]

Some of the new editors out there are great. One in particular is the Oddpoet's editor v1.1a which has the red and blue hit hit zones.

Now the hit zones have no effect on simmed stats. They only have an effect on games that you play. Here's a test..

All-Star Break stats
Adrian Beltre
.235, 12, 33
.257, 17, 52

Then I changed all of his hit zones to red:
.255, 12, 45
.249. 11, 41

Hardly any change. Now Im going to add several more red zones for power hitters mostly only. Now my games will have more home runs but it wont screw up the simmed stats..

Don,

Having trouble following what the stats mean. Looks like little or no improvement in his power stats when you changed them all to red. Why are there 2 sest of stats per category? Guess I just need to understand what they represent...

Don, he is saying that he increased the number of red power zones for the CPU and the only time it effected the stats were when HE actaully played the CPU. Simmed stats stayed the same. That is good becuase the CPU hits a normal amount of HR's on simmed games, but never seems to lauch any when we play an actual game. Hope that makes sense.

Thats exactly what it did. Unfortunately it means more hits if you change non-power guys though. This is why I am only changing power hitters. I made Bonds and ARod completely red everywhere. Most players with 40 plus homers I made blue zones blank and changed some blank zones to red.

Now Im REALLY scared to pitch to Bonds and some other hitters...

This is definately good news. But what about power hitters that are on your own team?

A step in the right direction, good work.

I'd like to make my non power guys more red. I am playing with the tigers and I rarly get hrs from anyone other than higgy, young, pena.

I can't get the oddpoet editor to work either. It asks for the Java runtimes yet I have the newest installed. The Jsmoltzen editor works fine, but this does not and I would really like to try it.

Re: I have found the key to getting more home runs by the CPU too!!

Same thing with my power hitters as well. It does not effect simmed games.

For example I took away a couple blue spots for Jordan and made them clear. I then located a previously clear spot and made it red. Some would call this a cheat so I must make a rule when i do this: Each home run hitter I change gets a total of a certain amount of "moves". A move will constitute changing blue to clear or clear to red. Perhaps each player should get a total of 4 moves. I also will not change a square from blue to clear and then change THAT SAME SQUARE AGAIN TO RED. That would be a no-no because then the player will not play like his real life counterpart.

This is great news. I am now working on the ultimate default rosters which have been borrowed from Kern. I then moved all catchers arms to a rating between 36 and 40. Player speeds where bumped up quite a bit. All starters have a stamina of 90-99. Easier to hit home runs during played games and easier CPU homers. Simmed stats mesh perfectly with real life. (default MVP simmed seasons had 15 starters with an ERA under 3.00 which was too low) That has been fixed as well.

I want to release the ultimate set. The set of all sets if you will. With kudos of course to Kern and the great editor..
