Odd statistical seasons in sim mode

[turdfurgeson]

I usually like to use the MLB set up with fictional players and start a league around 1871 and sim until some year and then take over a historically bad team.

It usually works pretty well, but since build 11.03 there have been some odd seasons with regards to homeruns hit.

Pretty much everytime I hit 1888, there are a bunch of players who hit between 25 and 35 homeruns, then the next year it drops back down to normal levels.

Then the opposite happens around 1925. Homruns drop down way low. The league leaders are usually at 2 or 3 for the season.

Not sure what is causing this, as I have all the correct boxes checked.

One thing I have noticed is that the league totals do not update every year after the intial creation. It stays at 47. The modifiers do though. SO I am not sure if that is causing the problem or not. When the season hits to 1888 the modifiers do jump from a number like .07 to 3.01.

Could one of the files have been installed wrong? Is this something I can check? I am not sure where to look......

One thing I do know is that the league totals do not change year to year, just the modifiers do, so that part's OK. As for your problem, check the Player creation modifiers, right above the league totals modifiers, that may be it.

Thanks, I will look into that. I am pretty sure the player modifiers are right though.


I just started a test sim in 1885, doing it a year at a time. Everything looked right. Ehh, will see what happens.
