  • League File

    For those crazy OOTPing Insomniacs or early birds, I present to you, the first ever public unveiling of the League File.

    As of now, there are only 2 manager IDs; The Commish and the infamous Buster Olney. The Commish is password protected for obvious reasons, but Buster Olney isn't, meaning you have the opportunity to see the team pages, albeit they are underwhelming as nobody has any players. But feel free to take a look, anyways.

    Now, things that shouldn't be worried about right now are minor league affiliates and draft order. The affiliates will be customized after the draft, and the draft order you'll see in the game isn't the one we're going to roll with, as I'll randomize once more before we start.

    What we need to do now is see what I screwed up in my player editing. You can see all players either by going to the CSBC tab -> Free Agents and then clicking the "Show All Players" tab. You can also go to the CSBC tab and click "Inaugural Draft" and then the "Continue Draft" tab. Be careful, because you can draft players to teams, this won't hurt anything as this isn't the "official" league file, but I guess "Do so at your own discretion" (I wouldn't recommend it, as you can't undo it).

    Anyways, you can sort players by position and by ratings and such, so just browse around and see if anything's out of whack.

    Some notes about player ratings, all on a 1-100 scale (some ratings can exceed 100 in exceptional cases):

    Notes about fielding ratings:

    All infield defense is based on second base, don't ask me why, but that's how it seems to be. So a guy with all 50s would be an average defensive 2B. Outfield defense is pretty standard, all 50s would be an average corner OFer, obviously CF would require a bit better range... so, that's how they're evaluated.
    Notes about batting ratings:

    Contact - 100 rating would be roughly equal to a .360ish average

    Gap - roughly, the total /2 is the amount of XBH (Not HRs) the guy is pegged to hit

    Power - same as above, but with HR

    Eye - kind of a 1.25x relationship to the rating, so the guy will BB roughly 1.25 times for every point (this is a rough estimate of the rating)

    Avoid Ks - I don't have a rough go-to figure for this one, but you can use your judgment to realize Pujols is hard to K and Mike Jacobs would K like it's cool
    Notes about Pitching Ratings:

    Stuff - 100 is roughly 12 ks per 9 IP, 55 is roughly 7 ks per 9 IP

    Movement - 55 is roughly 1.1 HR per 9 IP, 92 is roughly .4 HR per 9 IP

    Control - 55 is roughly 3 BB per 9 IP, 97 is roughly 0.9 BB per 9 IP
    So, if you've found someone that needs correcting, just post it here, like:

    David Ortiz's power is too high... or whatever.

    I felt really sad when I saw Nick Adenhart in the 5-star potential group.

      Just at a glance...the Pujols/Hanleys of the world look fine.....but the lesser players are really low, Chase Utley can only be 72 contact/72 power if I remember correctly Grady Sizemore is ok but he should be mid 80's contact. I didnt get into it really deep but it looks like there are alot of people that need to be raised. I am used to OOTP9 not 8, I am still trying to figure the program out a little bit and once I do I will get some more specifics.
      You know what the difference between Jeremy Lin and Tim Tebow is?... Jeremy Lin is probably a good Quarter Back.

        I'd say they're ok. Sizemore is a career .270 hitter. That's not mid-80's worthy.

          I'd say the prospects are more what to worry about than the ML players.

            If you sort everyones attributes by K avoidance, you'll notice that there are several pitchers and career minor leaguers with a K avoidance rating of 107. That's not right, is it?

              Yeah, I talked to PWG about it. He says it's just a glitch but you wouldn't end up playing those players anyways because of the rest of their ratings.

                I agree with this, it was my main concern as well (besides Kevin Youkilis, but PWG already sorted that for me)

                  How do you distinguish who is a prospect and who is already a MLB player? You guys referring to the players found in the minor league systems?

                    A prospect is generally anybody under 26 years old who still has potential to grow into. Which level they're at doesn't necessarily determine it so much as age and potential, though they are generally found in the minor leagues.

                      OK, I filtered it through age so that helped me look through it. I don't see any problems except for many some pitchers rated a bit lower than they currently are performing(maybe it has to do with a rating version from before this year IDK my guess) but nothing big.

                        If we filter hitters who are 1 star overall and under the age of 26, there are 39 hitters with 5 star potential, 35 with 4 and a half, and 25 with 4 stars.

                        To compare that to overall ratings of all ages, there's only 57 players that fit that bill, compared to the 99 players with the potential to be that high.

                        Now yes attrition will knock some of those guys from getting that high but you also have to look at rate ups that will knock other small star specs up that high. Both of those generally equal each other out.

                        Plus just the general obscene ratings of guys like Alex Gordon, Delmon Young, Maybin, list goes on.

                        This is an even bigger problem with SP. There are 92 prospects (age below 26, overall star of 1) with 4 star rating or better. For overall rating, there are just 27. We're talking about 3 and a half times as many guys who are top tier. The league will be over-run with top tier pitching.

                          Well... that's going to take me 2-3 days, by my estimate
                          --------------------
                          Ok, here's what I was thinking, we made it through like... 3 seasons of TBBC and the pitching issue never seriously arose, and I managed to field a highly competitive team that third season with a rotation of guys that were 4 stars, 3.5 stars, 3 stars, 2 stars and 2 stars...

                          If the talent distribution becomes an issue, we'll call it the steroid era and just water down the drafts for a couple seasons. Ratings don't necessarily reflect results, and while a lot of these guys may have 5 star potential, I highly doubt they'll (the ones that even reach that level) will have 5 star careers or even seasons... you say there are a lot of high quality hitters, well, we'll see if those hitters can alleviate the stress of pitching.

                          And, Flum co-signs this

                          Any objections?

                              I've made a few edits here and there, and, I plan on running test sims tonight after the Marlins game, so, if anyone finds anything else, post it here before then, I guess
