Re: Is it possible to have WAR in the game?

I'd love to see some Inside Edge metrics available.......2k had this years ago......it would be cool to have scouting reports like:

*Buchholz throws 4-seamers mainly on 2-0 counts
*Pedroia won't chase the curve on 2-2 counts

not sure if those examples are REAL but stuff like that

Re: Is it possible to have WAR in the game?

There are websites out there that perform very ROUGH calculations for WAR like the link I posted below. Even though it is not as precise, it would be incredible to have something like this in the game. Or maybe there could be a WAR inspired stat called something like "Show Score" which establishes an average performance level and gives a numeric score above or below average.

Possible, yes. But what's probable is a complete unknown. All we can assume is "No", what with SDS' reluctance to include a plethora of stats. And all we can hope for is that the Show is ready to turn the corner with the ps4 & come into the 21st century, stat-wise.

They would have to make some compromises, like "generating" random UZR scores for simmed games, or leaving UZR out of it entirely.

They'd be best off just pursuing other sabermetrics for sure.
