2078 Season Thread... 2 Rings for the Wings

[Cnasty]

2 records broken in 2077.

First is by CF Juan Sepulveda of the DPRK Victory with the single season hitter strikeout record. He broke a 33 year old record held by Sergio Aguilar in 2044 with 241.

The CF struck out an astounding 293 times in 685 plate appearances.
He posted a 4WAR and batted a paltry .163

The other crazy thing is that the top 4 strikeout totals of all time happened in 2077.
2 of them from the same team, Youngstown aka Detroit.

1. Sepulveda at 293
2. Eli Smith 252
3. Larry Russell 248
4. Ed Harpur 243

Which is why the 2nd record broken in 2077 makes so much sense. The golden arm of Michael Chamberlain broke the single season strikeout record with 398 previously held by Bill Quinn at 353 in 2071.

The year of the K.

not 1 contract worth giving in this FA class.

Juan"I take it looking or swinging'Sepulveda

Was trying to find out how many times those guys struck out against Chamberlain but got distracted.

[The_Niddler]

Our FA asking prices are so whacked. Guy batting .230 for his career be like “$25,000,000 for 7 years or No deal!” At age 33...

Cambra, while he hit 40 HRs last season, wanted like $18M per year for 8 years and he is 30.
Um, no thanks! I would pay him that per year for a 1 year deal and see how he regresses before next season, etc., but not an 8 year deal at age 30!

Brandon Padgett will most likely break that record by the end of July / Mid August time frame. He played in 43 games last season and had 105 k's.

His 162 game average:
.140/41/91 with 354 K's

[JayGee]

yeah - my 3-4 combo of Smith and Harpur was a bit ridiculous with their lack of contact.
... Smith has always frustrated me a bit .. has two 40-40 seasons and is a decent RF ... but the K's are awful.

In real life they break the strikeout record and HR record every year so I think it is a pattern we will continue to see. Part of the reason we see such shit draft classes is due to the developers mirroring the real life trends so we see so many low contact/k guys with big power. I personally hate it and don't find baseball as enjoyable these days. Hopefully it comes back a little bit.

You are giving these "developers" waaaaaay to much credit for this type of thinking with how shitty the last few versions have been.

I think Billy is correct here.

Don’t kiss up to him now. Bama going to be Bama. I am back buddy missed ya. We only needed hank to kick around like old times.

[Cnasty]

I just don't see how that's possible for a fictional league in 2077 unless they blanketed every single draft class in the game including previous real life trends in past years which would make no sense.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying. If the player creation modifiers are set a certain way from their programming, that would impact any players made in this version of OOTP.

So if I start a league that begins in say, 1980. You are saying that all future draft classes from 1981 on will now "mirror the real life trends" of 2020 versus the way the game was in the 80s/90s?

Maybe I read Billy's comment wrong in his theory.

Team Corey here with this take

If you start them in OOTP21 and the settings are set that way, yes. It depends on the settings you are using in-game.
The year is simply a made up number. OOTP doesn't care if it is 2077 or 1910.
If you have the creation modifiers set a certain way, you can have SPs with 3 SPs and a bunch of junk in 1910.

[Cnasty]

So you agree it's based on the settings you are using in game and completely different from what Billy said.

Just making sure

[The_Niddler]

Some leagues update them each season.
You can update the modifiers each year...as well as the historical stats which helps determine the # of hr's etc hit
Like in 1921 there were 300 more HR's hit than in 1920

So next year you'll see a good 50% more HR's than this year likely.

That is 1 example of a league I am in and how the commish updates it each season.


And that is not a recalc league where the players attributes are based on that from year to year.
Recalc leagues changes the ratings of players each year and turns off thje development engine

Importing the historical stats just helps to keep the statistical totals realistic to the times. Since we are in a future league, obviously that doesn't help us.

I am not 100% sure what billy was saying. lol

I am saying that, I believe, it goes off of the in-game developement engine in conjunction with the player creation modifiers.
If he has not touched them since he took over OOTP, I know I did not touch them when I was running things, not sure if you did?
But if not, then they are all still the same settings of when Reign was running things.

Unless....when a new version of OOTP comes out, I am not sure if the developers update these settings and screw with things, but I would like to think that they do not as far as online leagues and it would use whatever our settings are and have been and would only be in effect if you started a new league using that new version of OOTP.

[DParm]

But people keep giving out these whacky deals. Just offer what you think is the right number and be content with losing a guy. Way better than overpaying that much.

I would agree with BIlly here, Whatever conversation is going on below youre comment here, Idk, its outta control, really in depth on the specifics of the game, but heres my simple "for dummies" type response. Offer what you think is fair...when he realizes hes not getting $25,000,000 offered to him from anyone, he will come back and ask to renegotiate. But you leave yourself open to losing a player with this strategy because 4/5 times someone else is dumb enough to pay that terrible contract.

PS I came here to check on realignment and got stuck in this sauce
