The only baseball sim I've ever gotten addicted to... - Page 18

When I am running a franchise, the whole thing, I'd love a tab or option to check my entire system for injured players, or fatigued guys. I check in every few days and have to scroll through each roster to see if anyone is 'red'.
Not a big deal, but it'd be a nice user friendly feature (if it doesn't exist already)

On the Roster Page for your team in the top right is a drop down menu where you can select "All Players in the Organization". Then you can click on the column "In" to sort players to the top who have fatigue or injuries.

I would like that as well, but a pretty good way to quickly check who is injured; go to your roster and set it to show 'entire organization' and then whatever view ur on, there should be a tab next to the name tab that says 'INF' if you click on it it will put all your injured players together so you can see. Hope that works for you, and hopefully it makes sense.

QD, I promise you that I have never written anything about baseball.

The drawback to this is that it yields a full list of injured, those already on the DL and those just recently injured. What I would love to see, and perhaps what Curt is also looking for, is a quick and handy button to find who may have just been injured in the most recent sim and need to be tended to.

Still, your suggested technique is currently the quickest way to find them, and sorting through those already DL'd isn't too hard.

I'd argue the most I threw my third pitch, which was either a slider or Curveball depending on the night, was 15-20% and that would be an insanely high number.

How would you rate yourself in terms of stars or even ratings as in the game?

Dice-K had about 6 didn't he but a shame how high the expectations were on him.

Yeah, I think so. I imagine it is a HUGE adjustment for Japanese players coming over to America. Most Japanese revere the USA and are anxious about their english conversation skills (most of them know the rules as good or better than us!) what with all the different dialects and slang we use here. It would be hard enough only having to adjust to the best baseball talent in the world.

Man, I wish some of our young pitchers at the high school I work at could see this post! All of these 15, 16, 17 year kids seem to think they need to have 4 pitches, it is ridiculous. If I were coaching these kids (I don't coach, just help heal them) I would preach FB and change. TWO PITCHES - PERFECT them. Locate them.....stop trying to throw so many different types of pitches.

Maybe you should think of all the tools needed for those who love micro-managing everything to the smallest detail. Maybe they could then create an optional button to cater to those tools.

Yea, the privacy / public thing is a real pain. I have worked in very small towns where I'm the only person of my race in the whole town so I stuck out like a sore thumb, people frequently talked about me, and everything I did reflected on my employers. I had to set my mindset to think that I was at work any time I left my apartment. Luckily the people were very nice and the towns were very beautiful.

Ya that is the quickest way. But you are right, that's what I was looking gor, Injured guys that are still active.

stuff wise? At my best?
Stuff 18ish?
Movement 10 (though I argue that would be because my FB would be like a 2, and my split, CB would be high teens

Control 20
Stamina 18ish

And stars? Like 4.5?

Edit: Thinking about it, it comes closer to a five-star rating.

I just discovered this thread. Very cool. Also, we we attended the same CC - Yavapai (go 'Ole Ruff)! I received my Associate of Science there before transferring to ASU. Now I am a third year medical student here at UCLA, which doesn't leave me a lot of time to play OOTP unfortunately.

I've always been more fascinated with the art of pitching in baseball, as opposed to the art of hitting, so it is a treat to have Mr. Schilling participating in this forum.

A few of questions, if you have the time:

Who was/is the best pitcher in baseball history in your opinion?
Who was the toughest batter you ever faced?
Do you think the "modern" approach to pitching, i.e. specialization, hurts clubs more than it helps at times?

The Wolf · 07-02-2011, 01:48 PM

How about we treat Curt as just another OOTP player instead of acting like fanboys? He sure didn't come here to get interviewed.

Agreed and I am sure his knowledge and experience of the game can lead to suggested changes to help improve the game.

I'm not acting like a fanboy at all (unless mentioning that we share the same Alma matter is being a fanboy)? He happens to have real life experience pitching at the major league level and I'm curious about his opinion since I've always enjoyed the pitching part of the game.

Here's a thought, how about you let Mr. Schilling decide if he wants to answer the questions or not. If he ignores the questions then I'm certainly not going to badger him.

It's really not your concern.

Actually it is. Fanboy behavior does damage, runs famous people off, and makes others post only privately or under pseudonyms. If Curt wants to answer that's his business, but it's not cool to be asking for an interview no matter what he does - though he's a nice enough guy (yes, I met him once through ASL) that he may well answer you. But I'm ASKING you and everyone else - because I'm not a mod, just a regular - to please not act like fanboys and just let the guy be just another OOTP player.

Why do you think that the other famous people who post here all post here anonymously? (Even Tango Tiger is an alias.) Bingo.
