Question About Rating Scale

Klew1986 · 10-26-2013, 09:49 AM

So I typically use 1-100 scale, but want to try 1-10 scale. Is it essentially the same, but I just take away one of the zeroes.

For example if I us a 60-60-60 filter for Pitchers overall ratings, would it be the same as 6-6-6 filter then?

Yes

The key point is that a player could be 55-64 depending on which rounding rules are used. This shows as 6/10. I switched to a 5 point scale in v11 and the game immediately became 1-2 orders of magnitude better. So in a 1-5 scale a 3 (your 60) could represent 2.5-3.4, which is 50-68/100. Finding the right side of that 18 points is a bigger challenge.

I don't subscribe to the concept of stats only simply because I can look at any RL player and apply a 1-5 ratings scale to them. It may be foggy but so is 1-5 in-game.

Oops, this is probably OT.

I'm curious why you say it made the game better. Is that just because it made it slightly more challenging to pin down a player's quality? If that's the case, what's the difference between adjusting scouts accuracy vs. the rating scale?

I don't use scouts.

I prefer 1-10 vs any other. 1-100 is too many #'s 2-10 is confusing at times.

No, that isn't quite how things work. If a player is rated as 1/100, then when you switch to the 10 point scale, his rating has to round "up" to 1/10, since the game never gives anyone 0/10 ratings. So that each point on the 10 point scale corresponds to a 10-point range on the 100 point scale, it's the values from 1 to 10 out of 100 that display as 1/10, the values 11-20 that display as 2/10 and so on. So if you see someone with a 6/10 rating on the 10-point scale, then you'll see him with anything from 51 to 60 out of 100 on the 100-point scale.

That is, when you switch to the 10-point scale your players are going to look better than before, because the game is going to round their ratings up to the next higher multiple of ten and axe the trailing zero. A 51/51/51 guy becomes a 6/6/6 guy.
