Filter based on stats?

O2Brew · 01-14-2008, 07:32 PM

I may just be missing it somewhere, but I didn't see an option in the filters to filter by stats. Either current season or career. I know it can filter by ratings and other characteristics, but what about stats like AB, HR, SB?

It would be nice to be able to set up filters to display things like left-handed outfielders with 20 or more homers and 15 or more steals. From what I can tell, currently the only way to do this would be to filter on lefty OFers, then sort on either steals or HR and manually search for the HRs. While this may be easy enough for some things, for others it could be quite difficult.

So, did I miss something or is this really not possible?

I think some of this is available after clicking on the splits tab or career tab and then splits.

This also makes me wonder -again- if it would've been more helpful to have all-encompassing position selections like Outfielders and Infielders in addition to the specific position.

No, changing the view with splits is not the same as filtering on stats, which is not possible yet. It has been suggested for a future version.

I guess it's good to know I wasn't just overlooking something. This would be quite useful to have though. Really shouldn't be that hard to add either assuming it's all stored in the same database.

I'd also like to see some expansion of the AND/OR capabilities as well. For example the ability to search for ((pos=1B AND HR>=35) OR (pos=C AND HR>=20) OR (pos=2B AND HR>=20 AND SB>=15)). Currently I'd have to set up multiple custom filters and toggle between them, ignoring the inability to filter on stats of course.

Could be quite useful when looking for potential players to elect to the HoF.

Seconded, on all points.

This is one of those things I keep saying to myself I wish the game had, but I never think to mention it here.
