<t> Hello, TJA and welcome to the Forums. As far as I understand the attributes of the players, here is a simple explination.<br/>

Power: Player's ability to hit the ball long and possible for a homerun. Players like Babe Ruth and Ralph Kiner are in the 90-100 ...

Those results don't satisfy you? Really, Roberto, what more could you want? They look perfectly appropriate for that time period. <br/>
<br/>
As I've said in our threads, you're not gonna get a perfect replication of any given season. PS ...

Frozen Stiffer, I love these team names! Very cool. Personally, I think that I'll be cheering for the Salem Exorcists.[:D]

Actually, after comparing the number of pitches thrown by these top "Complete Game" pitchers, it actually doesn't appear to be much of a difference at all. Now I'm really perplexed. I wonder what Shaun tweaked exactly and if it can be tweaked some more?[&:]

<r> I just simmed through my first season with the new 6.1 release and the results look very good for completed games in the dead-ball era. As KG Erwin mentioned in another post, it seems with the new update that pitcher's with a good "stuff" rating are possibly throwing fewer pitches and completing ...

<t> I've been thinking.... I don't really know anything about how the Lahman database is set up, but I'm wondering if it can be opened up and edited? If it can I'm wondering if I can enter in some Negro league players with real or estimated season totals so that those players show up as draft ...

This is one of the great "what-if's", but seriously, I wouldn't know where to begin on assigning relative ratings. If these guys aren't in the Lahman database, you'd just have to create them and take your best guess. A touchy subject, that's ...

Has anyone done any work with creating the Negro Leagues or creating any of the all-time greats from those leagues? I'm thinking about creating some players like Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige to use in my association, but has anybody else done anything like this?

<r> Here's a better look at my current regular season innings pitched with the changes that I am thus far running with.<br/>

<r> I continue to have some success with the completed games issue. I've found that although you cannot alter the Management AI of the computer controlled teams without the selections reverting back to the defaults, it is possible to go in an adjust all useage levels for the pitchers. The selections ...

Those look good, Roberto21 (glad to see a fellow Pirates fan here). By way of comparison, here's my CG leaders. This is with using the default XML settings and modern closer usage OFF:

<t> This is one of the best elements of PureSim.&nbsp; The idea of taking the best players from 130+ years of baseball and pitting them against each other is very exciting to me.&nbsp; Looking st your HR stats... I'd love to see Kiner and the Pirates go up against Babe and the Yankees in the World ...

<r> After simulating over a dozen games from the 1901 season, I feel that I have had some success with increasing the number of completed games that pitchers are finishing the season with. To achieve this I primarily made changes in the xml to the likelyhood of the computer AI pinch hitting or pinch ...

I would suggest checking out Shaun's thread about the new Pitcher Fatigue Modeling that he will have in the next update. Might fix some of your problems.<br/>

<t> I'm wondering if there is a value in the xml that determines the rate at which a pitcher becomes fatigued throughout the corse of pitching the game? I assume this is simply tied into the pitcher's endurace attribute vs. the number of pitches thrown, but I'm wondering if this can be adjusted so ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>This accounting was used in another game I own, Lance Haffner Baseball. The user was required to enter player percentages of a team's total for the season. Entering this was a very tedious process, but the data, once entered, gave the game's AI something to draw from when ...

I forgot to ask if you were using the modern closer option. I ass-u-me you aren't, since you're in the dead-ball era.

I am not using the modern closer.

Pardon if I piggy-back on your post, but I've had the same issue with my current NL-only association. I don't recall which update brought the problem to light. I believe things were "normal" with version 1.20. <br/>

<t> Has anyone had any luck in increasing the number of completed games by pitchers?<br/>
<br/>
I am playing in the dead-ball era with a 4 man rotation and closer unchecked. Most pitchers are only getting half as many completed games as starts—much less than is historically accurate. In my ...

<t> I believe that I have solved the issue.&nbsp; It was the ball parks that I was using--specifically the South End Grounds.&nbsp; That right field fence just wasn't very far away from homeplate.&nbsp; I have now changed over to stadiums from the 40's-60's, turned down homereuns to 20 on the ...
