Preseason Predictions

Yojimbo28 · 04-11-2020, 06:26 PM

After years of playing a different baseball simulation game, I bought OOTP 21 last night and am very impressed with the look and layout of the game and how immersive it is. I did some exhibitions and now I'm getting into my first project, which is a historical simulation with Brooklyn starting in 1930. As many of you know, the league went hitting-crazy that year, (Hack Wilson 190 RBIs, etc.). Once spring training started, I checked the preseason predicitions. The game predicts four American Leaguers and five National Leaguers to bat over .400. Should I be worried about this? I don't know how accurate the predictions are. I didn't mess with the league modifiers or anything, to my knowledge, and I even started another 1930 league and saw similar stats. I picked 1930 and was excited for an offense-heavy season, but this is a bit much.

The Phillies that year had a 6.71 ERA. The game is predicting them to have a 9.40 ERA! Should I change some settings before getting things started?
