Hitting Streak Problem

DennisS · 03-27-2002, 06:31 PM

Well, it's not really a problem.

My best and most favorite player got a hit in game 125....and every single game after that.

Ended up with 37 consecutive for the year.

And was reset to zero at the start of the next year.

It needs to...for the lack of a better term, "wrap-around" to the next year.

Wouldn't be hard to program, it already keeps track of streaks....just add a line that indicates season-ended hitting streak.

Thanks.

Great game.

They don't do that in MLB, they just start over.

That's correct, a hitting streak does not carry over from one year to the next. I remember this happening to Hal Morris a few years ago. Edit - After some research, Morris hit safely in the final 29 games of 1996 and that was the end of his streak.
