Situational PbP

[camerainmyhand]

Whereas OOTP already collects a lot of information for situational statistics, Play-by-Play that references those stats would be a nice addition.

Stan Musial steps to the plate.
Musial is batting .385 this season with runners in scoring position...

Doesn't appear every at-bat but batting w/RISP is already in the PBP.

You are completely right.

I realize that I left out the rest of the message that I meant to include, and so I will add some more:

It would be great for even more (and more frequent) situational PbP - how Batter X has performs against Pitcher Y; Batter X's average at home this month; how Batter X is doing while batting 7th ...

The little things that good baseball announcers highlight when they broadcast a game, because sometimes there are little gems in those details that I/we would otherwise miss.

The fact that (in real life) Tony Gwynn batted over .400 against Greg Maddux and Eckersley amongst a few others is one of those interesting tidbits that makes the game all that more immersive.

I play out all of my games - a random debut historical league that began in 1974 (currently in 1978), where I am the (unfireable) manager and my roster is at the whim of the GM and Owner - until I am eliminated from the playoffs.

Sometimes during the grind of the long seasons when my team is good enough to still be in contention, but not good enough to close the gap on the division leader, those little PbP details would be a nice addition.

Yup, agree with all that. All the stats that you mentioned are kept by OOTP - seems like it should be feasible.

Try as I might, I haven't been able to get Markus to implement our PbP suggestions in recent years. Wait 'til next year, I guess.

Consider joining beta specifically for PbP. I'm sure pstrickert could use the help.

I am always happy to help make this genre of games better.
