2071 Season Thread... Cubbies Social Distance from the NDL

[Cnasty]

Probably. I am on OOTP tilt.

The newest thing is for the last 3 days after I download, all my normal settings are gone. So the task bar defaults to the right instead of the bottom, I lose the page selector as it changes to scroll, and I lose the player ratings bar showing by numbers as it defaults to the stupid display bar


I have to change all of those settings daily now, so that's fun.

Bored? Watch a replay of a game! I just watched game 3 of WC vs. Sheltown. The Thunderbolts were 2 ft from tying the game in the top of the 9th on a deep ball to center. Definitely if the World Series went to game 7, watching it unfold on the field would be really fun for the 2 involved. I wouldn't mind watching it either as a spectator.

which is funny that people believed OSA Ratings like the gospel when it was clearly "average" scouted numbers. Explains the variance and why better scouts found players that were diff than OSA.

OSA was 'clearly' average? what makes you say that? cause it says it on the screen?

I'd imagine we'd need a bigger sample size than 2 regular season weeks to be able to say if any of the scouting it is showing us is accurate. We really have no reason to believe it is until the stats align with it … or don't

is there a way to watch any games other than your last one that shows up on my managers screen?

Far from just "Average" when almost 99% of highly rated IFAs hit their insane potentials from OSA.

why wouldnt OSA be average? When you didnt have a coach it was average development. Why would OSA be Very high or High to make it easier? what would be the point of scouts?

also, I dont understand the second part.. this is the screen when you look at it via OSA



whats gonna change in 2 weeks?

its OOTP.....since when has anything in scouting made any sense. Just cause it SAYS average doesn't really mean anything IMO

especially if they consistently perform way how it says

if OSA says 80/80 for a guy and that's how he is performing....does that really strike you as an 'average' scouting report

I mean.. you dont have to follow baseball to know Mike Trout is a 80/80..

right. and if OSA was saying trout is 80/80 with 'average' accuracy and your scout was saying trout is 56/60 with 'very high' accuracy.....then why wouldn't i believe scouting it still effed up and who cares if its only 'average' accuracy.

point is, you are saying guys who took OSA as the be all and end all are fools....based on the above scenario, why wouldn't we listen or follow OSA?

counter point is.. Scouts arent always right. Trout didnt go 1st in his MLB Draft either so some scouts felt he was not as good and obviously wrong.

I'm gonna trust my scout who is rated as blue in every cat 10/10 times over a yellow average OSA. He will get some wrong and thats fine but he will get a hell of a lot more right.

I've said it in the past. no one should be using 100% of anything. IMO it should be a mixture of OSA, your scout, and stats.

but the good thing is everyone can do whatever they want.

My issue is that Nick trolls and likes to speak in absolutes.....

[dakshdar]

Only a Sith deals in absolutes...

i do not troll thank you very much

Everything I say is genuine all the time and never to just get people mad. Shame on you.

It looks like you can only do this for your last game. I have it as one of the windows on the Managers Screen.

Go to NDL>Scores and then change to the date you want to watch. Then there should be a "Watch Replay" by the boxscore of the game you want to watch.

It's also borderline terrible to watch a game.

Player on second, ground ball through the hole on the right side. Outfielder picks it up, throws in to 2nd base. Player from second is just getting to third when this happens, then runs home while 2nd baseman holds the ball and watches.

I get it, the speed/timing of the runners vs the plays in the field is just off, but why spend time coding this into the game if it is this bad?
