Historical Database Issues Go Here

OK, gotcha. So does that mean Littlejohn should come in for '79 and Ramos for '80?

Yup

Yeah that happens when a player didn't have an AB his first year (so just a defensive replacement or a pinch runner who didn't score)... not every players but it's always those players.

Great, thanks lads.

At minimun 2017, may be other years too, the incorrect playoff structure is the default.

I think part of the problem is maybe with the advanced stats the fastballs got degraded cosmetically and to compensate so that the overalls still reflect star quality, it propped up the secondary pitches to the point where it can still retain the previous stuff ratings?

In any event, here's what I found:

1. Dwight Gooden (in 1981 he's created for draft pool) - In version '26, FB/CB best pitches (80/85 pot respectively), In version '27 SL/CU best pitches and FB/CB now average or below

2. Bert Blyleven previously had 75 CB potential now 50, curveball was legendary

3. Nolan Ryan - Fastball now worst pitch in '27

4. David Cone - Fastball now worst pitch in '27

5. Rich Gossage - Fastball now worst pitch in '27

6. Mario Soto - Changeup and Slider should be reversed, best changeup of the 1980's

7. Steve Carlton - Slider and Curveball should be reversed

8. Lee Smith - Has average fastball in '27

9. Bruce Sutter - Splitter and Slider should be reversed

10. Tom Candiotti - Knuckleball is now worst pitch

11. Ron Guidry - Slider and Changeup should be reversed

12. J.R. Richard - Fastball now worst pitch

13. Dave Stieb - Slider now worst pitch, arguably best slider of 1980s

14. Mike Witt - Curveball and Changeup should be reversed

15. Mike Boddicker - Curveball and Forkball should be reversed


Thanks!

This is directly related to the fix in the new patch (27.2.56). It never stopped being looked at even after our discussion trailed off.

Went East Indian. I'll see if I have a facegen file for him and try to make it so it doesn't even matter for many...
