Preseason Prediction (slight change)

Winnipeg59 · 01-17-2014, 02:08 PM

Very minor point (and hopefully an easy change).

It would appear preseason predictions are calculated before teams trim their 25-man roster. If I'm incorrect, just ignore this idea!

If calculating after the roster is set makes a difference, is there any way to just change this to an "opening day" prediction or a preseason prediction that is seen immediately after the opening day sim (if desired of course as the option)?

Since someone brought this up, a question... does anyone else feel the pre-season prediction is TOO accurate? It seems it gets way too close too often for me - kinda ruins the excitement. I've gotten in the habit of not looking.

Hmm. I don't think it's *that* accurate. I mean, it's really accurate in that it actually does play out the seasons and then give you the standings. However, it also assumes that nobody is going to get hurt, no talent rating changes occur, and teams stay with the same rosters all season long, which actually makes it more than inaccurate enough in my book. I like to use it as a general gauge for how well each team should really expect to do in the year; a team that's poised to win 95 games might want to engineer a trade or keep riding an iffy player who may be slumping or may just not be that good more than a team that's poised to win 65.``

Maybe for AI led teams it is accurate, It is hardly accurate for my teams. i was predicted to win 98 games one season i finished 8 games under. Another i was predicted to win 80 i won 88. Both times i made some moves and had some injuries. it is rarely accurate for stats, especially for offensive guys.

That's probably the issue - AI teams - when playing in Commissioner mode. It's kind of anti-climatic when you get the same winners as was projected lol.

Do you guys have injuries at low or none
trading on low

That might be the reason

Also, does anyone else get an error message with the preseason predictions? Then it opens up as if nothing happened?

Personally, I'd like to see it available On Demand and re-run it at any point in the season.

I have had wildly different results from the predictions.

It is available later on. i thought you could turn off Preseason predictions to start the year but then you would lose it late on. Not sure if this is what you meant.
