OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - OOTP HOF using RL Model (v. 15) for Random Debut

I set down OOTP for a while. I picked up the latest version at the All Star break and have been playing with the new version in the context of setting up a league similar in structure to those that I wrote about in the forums for the previous versions.

I started the current league in 2003 and will have the inaugural HOF class in 2039. I was hoping to time this posting with the RL induction ceremony this past Sunday, but I am only in 2033 now.

Version 15 has no alterations that change how I go about this project. This is more good than bad, for sure. While I would have liked to have found Ink and HOFs/m numbers tabulated in this version, they are not. However, nothing was changed to make the manual data grab more difficult. No change is better than a bad change, as far as I am concerned.

I am interested to see how the changes in the game affect the no name players who became things of legend in the previous leagues. So far, those guys are still producing, and there will be the "unfamiliar familiars" returning to the HOF in this run through.

The basic structure of this league is the same as those I have done previously. More detail on this can be found in the ver 14 and 13 historical forums.

This league I am using 1 year recalc with development on. Injuries are set at Very High and position fatigue is at at None. These and other game option settings were arrived at by a weighted random number determination.

Notables who entered the initial draft pool at the age of 35+ include:

Satchel Paige
Jim H O'Rourke
Manny Mota
Tony Taylor
Phil Cavarretta
Rogers Hornsby
Bob Ewing
John Candelaria
Roger Connor
Willie Davis
Deacon McGuire
Red Faber
Carl Furillo
Jason Giambi
Sal Maglie
Jim Palmer
Pee Wee Reese
Babe Ruth
Taffy Wright
Donn Clendenon
Al Dark
Nap Lajoie
Jackie Robinson
Deacon White

The RL Inductions of 2014 are being factored into the method of selecting players for this HOF. The impact is numerically slight, but the previous exercises have demonstrated that a razor thin margin is sometimes the difference. The chances for a pitcher to enter have slightly increased (thanks to 2 pitchers entering out of 3 players), while the value of pitching points has slightly decreased (thanks to Maddux having such high totals in all).

I turned on league evolution after the 2014 season. Columbus and Jacksonville have added teams to make the league total 32. I am running my contraction algorithm, but no contraction has taken place, yet.

No changes to offensive production have occurred due to league evolution, yet.

In keeping with my previous successes, I was fired without completing one season as Astros GM. Though I take comfort in that it does look like I did draft a HOFer, in the one year I made selections, who is not a RL HOFer. I will not be running a team until 2075.

In the next day or two, I hope to have the inaugural class enshrined.
