Hey guys, some of you know that I am an avid MoM player for many years. The first thing I have done over the last 5 years is start up a "trial" Franchise to see how the game runs. I do this with no simming, no quick counts etc, just put the controller in the middle and let the game play out. I believe this is what the developers would have to do to get the game where they want it when they start adjusting things. I do this the same way as a former poster on here (Nomo) did it.
I do this so once I start my MoM franchise the results on the field should be as close to the real game as possible. Over the first 4 years and close to 900 games ran I have found two similar things each year that need "work". That is the lack of Errors and the lack of SB. Therefore my first trial the only settings I adjust are I set all 4 error sliders to 8 and SB Freq/SB Ability to 8. I have found this helps a little (more on this later)
Here are the results per team per game: 2024 54 games ran/2023 237 games ran (this is enough to see the differences)
REAL MLB 2023/2024 SHOW/2023 SHOW
AB 33.83/34.26/33.67
R 4.62/4.67/4.79
E 0.52/0.46/0.40
2B 1.69/1.67/1.90
3B 0.15/0.07/0.15
HR 1.21/1.21/0.96
BB 3.25/2.56/4.25
K 8.61/8.74/8.87
SB 0.72/0.34/0.41
CS 0.18/0.19/0.19
DP 0.72/0.95/0.91
HBP 0.43/0.29/0.62
AVG .248/.256/.251
OBP .320/.313/.346
ERA 4.33/4.44/4.58
WHIP 1.32/1.27/1.43
Some takeaways and notes: Last year there was way too many walks and HBP leading to high OBP, high ERA, and high WHIP. Those have all been toned way down which is great, but walks may be a little low. But I prefer a little low compared to 2 full walks per game too high so I like what they have done here.
Extra base hits have been dang near perfect this year. Batting average is slightly high but there were two slugfests similar to the LA/SD game this AM that had over 30 hits so I am not worried about that as I think that will be good with more games played. One thing I have not been able to pinpoint over the years is SB. I was hoping the game would adjust to the new rules and bigger bases in the real MLB but it is still way too low in the game (0.90 attempts MLB to 0.53 in game) This is hopefully something they adjust before next year as I don't think sliders will do the trick. Work in progress
Errors 8 across the board is still the closest we can get to real life
If you really look at these numbers I gotta say these guys put out an amazing game of baseball so similar to real life! It is impressive. NOW PLEASE FIX the camera issue in MOM so we can play Broadcast Cam as we always have
Just thought I would share these number guys
I forgot the coolest and most impressive stat of them all. If the total of the 291 games from above the last two years had the Over/Under set at 9. It would result in 133 Overs/131 Unders/27 Ties (Just shows the amazing variety we get)
