Offensive Surge - Is There A Problem

boblight24 · 08-17-2009, 06:40 PM

And no I'm blaming this on steroids. I started a 32-team ficitional dynasty in the year 1945 and ran in through to 1995 when I was going to take over a team. I decided to go ahead and sim to present day. As I was working on taking over the team I think I may have checked or unchecked a box in the league settings that has had a drastic affect on my league. I am posting below some screen within the game options, please take a look and tell me if something that I did (or didn't do) has caused the offensive numbers to become other worldly.

Here is the league overview that shows the champs, plus league average and ERA, notice the yellow circle, this is where things got a little crazy

Here is just a sample of the Career HR Leaderboard, I'm worried about the huge numbers these players are putting up after 1995 and the small amount of years it takes them to get there

My fear is that I've done irreprable damage to my league and will therefore have to start over to ensure more realistic numbers or I could pull an MLB from '68 and 'raise the mound' so to speak and just change the numbers to results closer to what I want. Let me know any thoughts, thanks!

You have unchecked the "automatically adjust League Totals Modifiers For Historical accuracy" box on the strategy page.Recheck that box and your numbers should be "normal" within a year or two.

I don't think that will matter than he's made it to 2009.....

The biggest problem I seee is the HR modifer of 1.2+.....

What's so special 'bout hittin' 50 homers if you have 10 guys do it every year?

By keeping the box checked,it will at least get the numbers down to 2008 levels,which is the last historical year OOTP tracks.What happens is once you reach the end of the line historically,the numbers remain static as long as that box stays checked.As for the 50 homer thing,I agree 100% I hate playing with modern numbers because of that.I want 50 homers to be a once or twice in a decade thing,with a run at the magical 61 being an even rarer feat.IMO,there was not a better time in baseball than from about 1969-1987

You can actually extend the date range out to 1992....

From 1969 to 1992 baseball was beautiful (at least in the National League), but then the greed mongers read that attendance always goes up when offense goes up and they decided to see if that was true......

It looks to me like what happened is that the automatic LTM adjustment option was turned on, as it should be, starting in 1945 -- otherwise the LTMs would still be at 1.000. However, at some point this was turned off, which is how you get League Totals that are from 2008. Maybe this happened at the start of the 1995 season. From that point on, you are getting LTs that update every year, but the LTMs are locked into whatever was the last automatic adjustment (start of 1994, I suppose). Otherwise the LTs would be the 1945 values, or else the LTMs would all be 1.000.

I hope that's clear.
