OOTP4 - Is OBP calculated correctly now?

PhilliesPhan · 02-21-2002, 05:26 AM

Two message boards ago, I posted about a bug with the way OBP was calculated in OOTP3.

I don't have an example handy but the bottomline was that the OBP I came up with for a player and what the game came up with didn't agree.

The formula should be:

(Hits + Walks + Hit-By-Pitch) divided by (At Bats + Walks+ Hit-By-Pitch + Sac Flys)

Can a BETA tester give a quick check of a player or two (who played a full season) and see if everything is copasetic?

Appreciate the effort, and really looking forward to OOTP4.

P.S. - I found this bug in one of the 3.1 releases, so it is possible that it was fixed for 3.2. I don't have the game handy so I can't check for myself. Thanks.

Now I'm not sure what to believe. This site says the first one is right:

But Scott's formula would seem to make more sense.

On-Base Percentage (OBP)

ivide the total number of hits plus Bases on Balls plus hits by Pitch BY at Bats plus Bases on Balls plus hit by Pitch plus Sacrifice Flies
In Derek Jeter's 434 at-bats, he has 152 hits, 59 walks, and has been hit by 9 pitches. He's hit 6 sacrifice flies.
