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?[&:]

Those results don't satisfy you? Really, Roberto, what more could you want? They look perfectly appropriate for that time period.
As I've said in our threads, you're not gonna get a perfect replication of any given season. PS uses relative ratings, not a strict stats recreation model. This point is still misunderstood.
It's an abstract concept, and it takes a while to wrap your mind around it. Once you grasp it, though, the overall database relationships become clear. It's based on relativity, NOT on absolutes. A talent curve is established.
Think on this for a bit, and it will start making sense to you.

I suppose that you're right. My biggest concern is that with further modification it is going to cause problems elsewhere. I believe that I'll be starting my season soon with the intention of keeping it running for many, many long years. Can't wait to see how the Pirates do.[:)]

I know I'm going to sound like a snob in saying this, but... eh, such is the sacrifice for one's love.
Remember... PureSim is a baseball simulator, not a replicator. Sure they have the same number of syllables and they both end it "ator", but they are effectively two completely different animals.
