Abu Taha's jihad for steps of 5 in the 20-80 scale

Abu Taha · 02-15-2007, 01:41 PM

I wanted to see how the 20-80 scale for player abilities will work in 2007?

In real life, major league teams evaluate talent on the 20-80 scale in steps of five. So a person might have a 70 score for speed, with the next highest being 75 and the next lowest being 65.

OOTP adds numbers in between, which causes those of us who want realism to have to revert to the 2-8 scale. The game looks awesome, but making the 20-80 scale work correctly would add an incredible amount of realism, and make the game square with what we read in Baseball America et al.

PS- This doesn't mean the overall evaluations using 20-80 need to be in steps of five; only ability ratings.

This might be one of the shortest campaigns in OOTP history.

Long long, long ago there was a poster with the name "dolamite", or some such thing. He had a habit of posting consecutive posts in a thread all the time. Over time people took to referring to the practice by a shortened version of his name.
