This adjust "stuff" must surely be the culprit in my tests. Whatever I use I tend to see a lot of cup-of-coffee players end up in starting lineups, or at least in playoff rosters after a season with 30-50 starts.
I normally start sometime in 70s or 80s, sometimes 90s but never in the very old ages around 1900, so I am knowledgeable about the most of the core players.
I use full minors and NO hist. transactions so plenty of the coffee players to go around. I tried Retired Historical, and very low injury (to keep the big boys around) and of course disable development.
I read old threads with Garlons suggestions on how to setup leagues and even some other guy with extra knowledge on League stats.
Many threads are about how the leagues do, and how the big stars are compared to real life, but not much on those lesser known.
Example like Paul Powell (who the heck ?) played 3 years in the majors 20g with Twins, 10 g with Dodgers, 1971-75 and he ended up with over 50 starts in my Dodgers together with Joe Ferguson. He have 2 stars after all. Yes Steve Yeager was traded 1973 to Braves. Probably because the AI thought Powell was just as good to backup Joe.
Of course he is only one example of many in most teams. Thankful that so far no coffee-player has popped up in top league leading stats. That issue happend in test with Development On and no Retire historical. Guess then those players had every shot of develop into stars.
Perhaps even more strange is the fact of bullpen structure. This has been an issue over the years that the AI doesn't care any of right/left relievers. In Dodgers I had 6 lefties and 1 right-handed. Can any name a team IRL that had this IRL?
I always use 3-y recalc. Double weight on,
Very happy to see the older problem with Mark Belanger is gone. He now do get his Glove Gloves and isn't dropped by Orioles. He is actually top in stats like Def Efficience, Zone Rating and even Assists.
The struggles in getting this to work inside a certain structure is hard, but then guess no-one wants to gets even 80% close to real life.
I find retire historical to be a little hard since some players do get career-ending injuries even with injury set at very-low. To take away injury totally isn't an option. The DL should be a part of the game.
Perhaps the only way to get this 70-80% is to not use minors, use historical trans and lineups and retire historical BUT No, a little extra changeable happening should be present to spice up the game.
Do wish someone came up with the "perfect" setup with the new great stuff of having Full Minors, Perhaps it's the rating ? Should one mess with that in combo with everything else ?
