Franchise Stats/Progression ?

[chriscf10]

I am hoping one of you who already have the game would be willing to post some stats for a few simmed seasons. I'm anxious to see if there are any surprises and to see how player progress and decline. Last year the pitching stats were way off due to the Walk rating for pitchers being messed up and progressing incorrectly. I'm hoping that has been resolved. I enjoy playing franchise mode and going through multiple seasons. I'm a stat-head and stickler for that kind of stuff. I've been bit by 2K too many times that I am no longer a 1st day buy. I have made myself wait until I start seeing reports of franchise stats over multiple seasons. I haven't noticed any posted, so I'm hoping the community that already has the game would throw a little help this way. Thanks so much, guys. I hope you are all enjoying the game.

Okay. Let's try this approach.

Does anyone know of any other sites where someone has posted this information?

Did you already peruse the stickied franchise progress thread?

So you are going to tell him to sift through the dozens upon dozens of pages in that franchise progress thread to find the simple answer he is looking for?

Actually, I had already done that but found nothing that answered my question. However, maybe you could point me to a specific post on those pages, ericdrum, that I may have missed.

liftheavy, thanks for the pastapadre suggestion. I found information on the stats for a single simmed season. So that answers half of my question. Do you happen to know anyone who has tested the progression and made a post or comment on another site.

Thanks for your help guys. Like I said, I really want to get this game, but I'm going to be cautious this year.

Re: Franchise Stats/Progression ?

I've simmed 3 seasons so far and the stats look realistic.

The only weird things I've seen were...
Rookies from the previous season winning the Comeback Player of the year award. Buster Posey won it in 2011.
Torii Hunter had a horrible 2012 season, bounces back with 30 HR in 2013, then he retires(37yrs old). I don't know how he hit 30HR that last season. He was so bad in 2012. He only hit like 12 HR in 600 Ab's, and had a horrible AVG, OBP, etc... lol, I actually re-signed him for 1 yr after that 2012 season. I thought he'd continue regressing, but re-signed him anyways. I guess he wanted to go out with a bang.

Player salary demands are still low like they were in 2k10.

That's good to hear HK-47. You haven't noticed good pitchers all of the sudden becoming bad because their walk stats are screwy have you?

BTW, the best character in KOTOR.

No, the pitching stats look like they should.

The stats don't look bad, though the game sims a little too low scoring in comparison to real life.

There weren't any teams with real high ERA's, its not too bad, but its just a little off.

Thanks for the input. It looks like I may have to give 2K another shot. I don't mind the overall scoring depression. I can just think we are in a modern dead-ball era. It's good to hear progression is doing better this year too.

How are team budgets in comparrison?

If the salaries are 60-70% of real life are the team budgets scaled similarly?
