OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Historicals: Fielding Modifier Problem from 9 to X

The first point is that the game does not automatically create correct modifiers for anything (HRs, Ks, BBs, etc) in the first season. So errors are just another example of the same thing. If you have all the modifiers still set to 1.000, you have unadjusted (therefore inaccurate) modifiers.

There is a way to get correct modifiers for a first season, but you have to do it yourself. Even then, depending upon your technique, you may get correct modifiers for everything else, but not for errors (don't know why -- it's a mystery). So you have to do a little calculation work and manually adjust the modifiers for errors. After the first season, all the modifiers are adjusted automatically.

Note: there is bad data in parts of the fielding DB (double decimal points in various cells). That could have an impact on fielding modifiers even when they are calculated automatically. Don't know if this will be fixed in the next patch. But you can fix it yourself if you haven't done that already.
