Player ratings/creation - Page 2

Jayzone · 12-04-2005, 02:22 PM

I, too, want to make the game to have in-game rating translation ability and I have already make a few threads/posts about it. The main benefit of having in-game rating translation is actually on AI improvement. As computer AI knows (more or less) what kind of production will the player have based on ratings, computer can then value the said player correctly. However, this is not the disscusion intent of this thread (see my sig thread for the disccusion on this).

The one main issue about rating translation is that rating translation is 'unique' as it is the result of the interaction between specific league rating distribution and league total. In other words, the translation 'formula' will be different for every league. One solution to this is to investigate the data after the said interaction between rating distribution and league total (after-season data). From there, a mapping of ratings to stats could then be constructed via regression analysis. The downside of this is that it's done 'after the facts' so OOTP would have to trial simulate ahead first in order to obtain the mapping result.

Fixed rating translation formula won't work as it would fail to take neither specific league rating distribution or the influence of league total into account. So, you would possibly have a very inaccurate translation result based on fixed formula for a league with abnormal rating distribution and/or abnormal league total.

If there is an allowance for stat input to be translated into ratings then it would also be beneficial to 'not' have to pro-rate all stats to 550 plate appearances like it was in early OOTP editions. I too would like to see the stat input returned.

I would like to see this, too. I don't want to have to guess which combination of skills should produce different expected stats combos.

Anybody know what was decided about this issue?

Note: Rating Translator is now also hosted at jazzrack's CLB - OOTP Download. Click here for the discussion on "How computer GM may be made smarter by having built-in rating translation ability"
