Incorrect calculation of career WAR totals

Raffke · 12-22-2011, 07:39 AM

I have noticed that the WAR totals on a players BNN page have been calculated incorrectly. You can see in the screenshot that the total has been calculated as 42.4 whereas the real total should be 35.7. Whilst this does not seem a huge discrepency it is disapointing that a simple calculation like this is incorrect - how many other counting stats are off by 10%?

Another issue is that when looking at the career totals of players the total WAR comes out as 0. This is for all players. It would be nice to be able to sort players by WAR for HOF considerations. This can be seen in the second attached image.

Has anyone else noticed these problems or is it just me?

I raised an issue a few weeks back regarding the Import Rosters function causing minor league stats to be included into the player's major league totals. Can you check if the discrepancy can be accounted for by his minor league stats?

I think this is a known issue as well. WAR and ZR are not displayed correctly when viewing career totals in the Player Search screen.

Even with minor league stats the results don't come out correct. The problem however only seems to be in the BNN Player Page view as the total is correct when just looking at the normal batting stats player page.

Not a big issue but something that could be fixed up.

Not sure if it's the same issue, but the one I experienced also only affects the BNN pages.

Here is the thread I regarding that:

I've already raised a ticket for this to tech support.

To be fair WAR was only added at all in this version.

Good point, but one would think that testing would have caught this.
