Best mode for playing games with realistic outcomes

Gutie · 06-29-2017, 06:39 PM

Basically 3D view is driving me insane. Even tried out seeing how making a HOF outfielder along the lines of Mays meets Clemente and Ichiro.

Not a single damn outfield assist for almost a month in 3D view and constant Three stooges moments in outfield... with two fringe gold glovers and an guy I whipped up in a second file to test out. 244 arm, and he's throwing to cutoff man from mid outfield on sac flys.....good grief.

I need a reprieve till the patch that fixes 3D outfielder nuttiness comes out. Any recommended mode/settings for playing my matches? I can't take many more games with Padres making 5+ highlight reel catches 3 games in a row and then see Pablo Sandoval stretching base hits into doubles.....

I wonder if you and I are playing the same game? OOTP, yes?

FYI, the game results do not change based on what mode you view the games in. The 3D is essentially a representation of the play that the game engine created.

Also, if you don't like the 3d, you can just... play it... you know... without the 3d.

Yeah, we are definitely playing 2 different games. I am seeing a TON of OF assists. In fact, too many.

same suggestion for both:

adjust your of assist league total modifier -- refer to manual for specifics.

think ~.340 is about right? opinions will vary. that info is from an early patch, but i doubt it's changed.

you can further influence this (maybe) with engine.cfg

In my fictional league, I adjusted the outfield assists downward as there were just too many of them. Settings allows you to regulate the game however you wish.
