The Golden Age Of Baseball

What's happening is when the game creates ratings, it's making righty's much better against lefty's and worse against righty's. This of course is reversed for leftys. Combine this with the high number of right handed pitchers compared to leftys and you begin to see whats happening. This leaves me with two choices, continue to play through despite this flaw, or cut my losses and begin anew. After much wrangling, I've decided to restart. Instead of starting back in 1947 though, I'm going to move up a few years to 1960 just to put a fresh face on things. Guys, I'm really sorry about this, nobody feels worse than me. Hopefully you follow along once I get the next one ramped up.

Which version do you have? I leave L/R on with OOTP10, so now you've got me wondering.

Oh, man. No worries. Been there, done that. I thought I was going to lose the current version of PUB with the introduction of the NL. But fortunately, I was able to re-sim a couple of seasons and fix the problem.

Thanks guys. What happened was, I looked at Joe DiMaggio's numbers, and noticed they were way down from what they should have been for all three seasons, then I checked Jackie Robinson and same thing. That led me to do some investigating and from there it became obvious very quickly. As for the version, I have the most updated version of OOTP 11. Truthfully though, I don't think the version should matter. As you have to do is look at R/H batters ratings and you'll see it. DiMaggio had a 18/20 rating vs. lefties, and a 11/20 vs. Righties. Since the majority of the pitchers are righties, he underperformed. One thing good did come out of this, Questdog's Reds are back as contenders! LOL.

I only asked because I'm in 10 and Jackie's splits at normal. Only other thing may be that I used the neutralized stats to import, but that's all I can think of. Anyway, hope you get to the bottom of it.

I see what you mean. I'm going to investigate some more, but it looks like in some of my leagues I did the same thing. Sometimes the splits are severe, and sometimes not.

That could be the difference, I used real stats.
