All-Forum Dynasty (official thread)

Great stuff. Congrats to Bethel Park on a great season as well.

Funny to see how Biggus Dickus collapsed in the postseason (.217, 0 HR, 4 RBI). Sal DeFazio with 4 homers and 11 RBI in the series the definite hero. Seems we didn't pitch that well overall, particularly in the pen, which I would have thought would kill us.

Looking forward to another great season.

Sweeeet!!

I need this... hopefully the kid will get out of the minors & help us next season. I just don't believe we're a last place team. Hopefully we can get back to the top.

I'm gonna call Johnny Law "Granny Glasses"

...and I've got a suggestion for Valverde:

Even though it says $0.67 per Endurance point, I'm pretty sure he means $0.66666 or 3 pts for every $2.

I would either boost his Endurance to 75 ($50), or drop it to 72 ($48) and spend the extra 2 points on talents. My policy is always to spend the maximum possible

Ok, what's going on with this? I moved across country and I still had time to create my new players. Do the other teams need players created? I'll be glad to do so if it will speed things up.

Alright, Mr. Math, you're on.
Feel free to make this season's Pittsfield rooks. Middle infielders, if you please.

You're not worried about the conflict of interest? He's in the same division, fer cryin' out loud!

On another note, I've updated the league website with the new players submitted so far. Check it out & make sure it's accurate. It'll be interesting to see what Cooperstown's brand new ace does in the years to come. Unfortunately the AI made him injury-prone. :-/

If Pete weren't somebody I've known IRL for a decade now, I'd never consider it. However, he is; and I trust him.

Besides- he totally gets off on making characters for all kinds of games.

Welcome, Brad. As I mentioned in my PM, let me know if you'd like to change the name of your club, perhaps to the small town or neighborhood where you live. Here are the creation rules for easy reference:

Player Creation

Hitters

Talents:
(No talent may be above 50. Avoid K's must be at least 80% of Contact. Total dollars allocated to Talents may not exceed $190 nor be less than $80. At least 20 hitters must be created, and no more than 24. Create 35 players in total. At least 5 hitters must have speed 50 or higher. At least 14 players must play no more than 1 position.)

Contact - $1 per point
Gap Power - $0.80 per point
Homerun Power - $1 per point
Eye - $1 per point
Avoid K - $0.50 per point

Skills:

Speed (1-100) - $0.50 per point
Stealing (1-100) - $0.50 per point
(Running instincts will be the average of Speed and Stealing; you don't need to pay for it.)

Sac Bunt (1-5) - $2 per point above 1 ($2 for 2 rating, and so on)

Bunt for Hit - determined by the relationship between speed and sac bunt (81+ speed increases bunt for hit +1 over bunt skill, 61-80 speed makes bunt for hit equal bunt skill, 41-60 speed makes bunt for hit -1 under bunt skill, 21-40 speed makes bunt for hit -2 under bunt skill, 1-20 speed makes bunt for hit equal 1 no matter what bunting skill is)

Range/Catcher Arm (1-100) - $0.50 per point for primary positions for speed 1-60, $0.40 per point for speed 61-80, $0.25 per point for speed 81-100 (the speed bonus does not apply to catcher arm) (you may then choose secondary positions with this range penalty: -10% off range of first position for second position, -15% off range of second position for third position, -30% off range of third position for all other positions - only 2 players may be created with both infield and outfield positions)

Fielding % - $3 per point on a 0-4 scale; this scale is interpreted as follows for each position:

Position     4 points  3 points   2 points   1 point   0 points
Catcher      .995,6 PB .988,10 PB .981,14 PB .974,18 PB .967, 22 PB
First Base   .994      .991       .988       .985       .982
Second Base  .982      .974       .966       .958       .950
Third Base   .951      .932       .913       .894       .881
Shortstop    .973      .963       .953       .943       .933
Leftfield    .982      .962       .942       .922       .902
Centerfield  .988      .978       .968       .958       .948
Rightfield   .982      .973       .964       .955       .946

Arm - standardized by primary position in IF or OF (RF - 90, CF - 55, LF - 30, 3B - 90, SS - 60, 2B - 30, 1B - 15, P - 95 (infield))

HBP - generated by AI

Catcher range - generated by AI

Character:

Injury Rating - set by game, but you may pick 1 player you wish to be Durable

Clutch Performance - your choice (remember that GREAT worsens performance in non-clutch situations given ratings, Suffers improves it)

Leader Ability - $3 for Great, $1 for Some

Consistency - your choice

Hitter type - your choice

Pitchers

Talents:
(No talent may be above 50. Total dollars allocated to Talents and endurance may not be less than $80.

Stuff - $1 per point
Control - $1 per point
Movement - $1 per point
Endurance - $0.67 per point

Skills:

Pitcher running/speed/steal ratings decided by AI. IOW, you don't have to pay for these.
Pitcher range set at 15/100, Fielding % at .930.
Hold Baserunners - $1 per point above 1
Groundball % - generated by AI
Velocity - generated by AI
Pitches - your choice
WP/HBP/Balk - generated by AI

Character:

The same rules apply as for hitters.

[Elendil]

GForce - I edited your players a bit to make them comply with the creation rules and to distribute some points freed up. You can check them out on the league website to make sure they're to your liking.
