Thanks for the info! I took a job with an expansion team and gave an ability favored scout a shot. Owner was a “penny pincher” so making the most of every dollar spent was critical. Ended up...

Realignment and League Evolution

I may be one of the few that enjoys league evolution, but with expansion teams and market moves, league alignment is a bit out of whack. I have a Virginia Beach team in the NL west. Fresno is in...

Simmers, what is your preferred scouting strategy?

I’ve gravitated to neutral scouts, rather than tools or ability focused. I’ve felt that they aren’t as inconsistent as tools oriented scouts and don’t miss as many top end players as ability...

Having simmed close to 90 seasons, it goes in cycles. Big market teams will be strong, but the AI will inevitably overextend and they bottom out, but will reload a few years later after their...

I wholeheartedly agree with sentiments in this thread. I kind of get that having to hunt for good coaches makes it more of an interview process, but it’s tedious and doesn’t enhance the game...

Sometimes it can be infuriating. I had to ship off one fan favorite in the offseason, dropped fan interest to 78. Still had 3 fan favorites on the roster, dropped ticket prices by a buck, finished...

Maybe think of market size as a bowl of skittles. Bigger market, bigger bowl, more skittles. Some of those skittles in that bowl will go to your games... that’s a function of fan interest and...

When I was with SF, I would take hits when I lost players, but would bounce back much more quickly. I was doing a lot more longer term contracts, so I wasn’t taking as many hits losing players and...

Does smarter mean an upgrade from “dumb as a sack of bricks” to “dumb as a block of wood”?

Sorry it’s not unscientific, but I believe I have a solid hypothesis. To increase fan loyalty, fan interest needs to be capped for several seasons. You can have multiple 100+ win seasons, but if...

I know it has innocent meanings and wasn’t intentional. It’s just a term that got perverted by the connotations.

Racist Team Names

No, not Cleveland or Atlanta. In my sim there was an expansion team added... The El Paso White Knights. I’m sure it’s innocent and the creators of the game just didn’t connect the name with a...

Hometown Players

Why does the only decent player in my sim to ever come out of my real life little hometown have to be “Disruptive”?!?!?

Bad luck, or destiny?

I had a fine young 4.5 star potential starting pitcher. I brought him up to the bigs as a starter at 22 with 1.5 overall/4.5 potential. He was absolutely mowing down the competition with a 2.88...

After playing a few more seasons, I have determined that the issue I was experiencing was related to the defense ratings of my outfielders. I’m not sure about the mechanics, but...

2.5 to 3 star veteran pitchers deeper in the offseason can be had for 1.2 - 3.6. There’s usually 2-4 of them available prior to spring training. I’m also talking about a 4th or 5th guy in the...

I somewhat disagree, but only situationally. I generally build around defense. You can usually plug in a borderline starter (two decent pitches with a weak third) and get serviceable production on...
