As things stand right now, all of the playoff spots in Bronze 232 are occupied by OL teams!
That's pretty nifty considering there's only 12 OL teams in the league (sorry if I didn't count you!)

Whoever wins the NC Central in B232 is probably a sitting duck for whoever loses the duel for the top seed between Tacoma and Victoria, especially if it's me
Another week in bronze is the best thing for my 80's All-Stars anyway. A week with proper ballpark factors will do wonders

My roster aren't the cheapest because when I decided to change the team into an experimental team, I have already played a season in Iron and has points to spend, but here are the ultra-cheap players who have given me good points: Numbers are [AVG. Price in last 7 days] for [PP he has generated for me in 3 and 2/3 seasons] Hardware Heroes 3B 69 Bill Madlock: 75 for 3,750 Rookie Sensation SS 74 Corey Seager: 250 for 2,705(Only have him for 2 and 2/3 seasons) Record Breaker CF 62 Matty Alou: 73 for 1,670 All-Star CF 70 Willie Davis: 263 for 2,930 All-Star RF 68 Ken Griffey: 63 for 2,320 These are all players below 300 PP with proven results from me. You don't even have to like them, just grab them (preferably, ASAP), farm PP in EP or maybe a season of Iron, and sell them by then when you have PP to put a team you really want. All my strategy bars are set to the middle, I just completely ignore them. Ballparks are maximum hitting, 1.100 and 1.500 on everything. And don't bother with pitchers, I tried the 128 stuff pitchers and they generate more points than an average pitchers but not by a lot. Edit: I would also point out that the PP report do not include "team achievements" like Comeback, 10Rs in a innings and stuff like that. I get a lot of those too so they will earn more than the stated PPs. Last edited by Goliathus; 06-21-2019 at 01:42 AM. |

I may actually go all max factors next week for my Patriots. I mean, what's the worst that could happen, other than my pitching being the biggest dumpster fire since the current-day Mets?

Also, if you want to play Ichiro and Gwynn at the same time, put Ichiro into LF (he will train to almost 100) while Gwynn is already at 85 in RF. So you only need to worry about CF that can easily be filled with a defensive star. Neither Ichiro or Gwynn are great in CF (unless you have the Gold Ichiro card). Down the road (once you upgrade to some better hitters), you can still use your trained Ichiro as a backup and defensive replacement. I believe the kids still use him on their Gold Seattle Endless Summer -OL team that manages to stay competitive. Keep up the positive spirit and win some more PPs.

I'm lucky they hit for anything nowadays Besides, I'd expect the pitching to be lousy if I cranked the factors up all the way. I'd be mad if everyone had ERA's over 6 by mid-season...but with jacked up offensive factors, anything 4 and under would be fine. Also, update for you on the Mets' Warren Spahn. The team has pulled away a bit in their division, 10 clear of Redmond. Spahn has been getting better and better. He's fought his way back to a 5-5 record and a 4.37 ERA.

My experimental team is consistently 15th in the conference in most pitching stats. If you want to overcome your feeling, do that for 3-4 seasons and you won't care anymore. My ERA this season is 5.66(15th), Starters' 6.64(15th), Bullpen's 5.39(15th). Aside from WAR at 11th and Strikesout at 1st(all hail the Stuffs), I have a clean 15th all across the board. Of course, it got extra worst this season because I am experimenting with Opener/Follower. The result so far has been horrible. The AI manager simply doesn't accept the brilliance of "my LHP Opener/RHP Follower and have anyone of them pitch long" strategy. Adjusted strategy slider and force role and stuff everyday, still no cigar so far. |

Terrific post....I don't believe I can even get near this amount with a fully defensive park in 3.5 seasons. I have 77 Keith Hernandez for about 1700 and Belanger for 2830 (for rare play) Most others (like Gwynn) are closer to 1000 PPs But then I have some decent pitcher returns: Reuschel for 4000, Ray Brown for 2750 and Passeau for 1750. Not sure what the return is for pitchers in an offensive parks. It would be great if the game actually balanced out the rewards for both styles of play.

The OL competition is tougher and so are the competition above Iron(I realized Iron is a farming ground, I have seen a lot of abandoned teams right there that are just free PPs for any active team). You definitely need more than Ichiro and Gwynn if you want to commit to that plan. I think you will need to commit at least 7 good and above hitters to pull that off. Or have some defensive wizards to sort of shore up your weakness. My experimental team has no defense and that is a problem for Bronze, which I am happy with cuz I don't want to go to silver while I am experimenting, but not for you if you want to win.
If you don't have elite all-around batters, might as well stick to a more specialized ballpark. You will win more that way, albeit with less PP gain, I guess. Edit: All my pitchers are stuff-based and the best of them have 800-1000 from the K-related and LOB achievements. In theory, I think a team made up of great MOV + CON pitchers, great defensive fielders who can hit for contacts and such can earn fair amount of PP. You just need to get a lot of the perfect games, Maddux and that kind of achievements. The great contact hitters and defensive wizards can generate okay PP from batting and might net you some defensive achievements like DP and such. I think your pitchers have to be stuff-based to get PP in an offensive park because the only huge ballpark factor that affect stuff-based pitcher is AVG. I assume Double and Triple are related AVG as well, like you need to connect with the ball for a chance to get a double or triple. So the only thing that is blocking a pitcher from getting a K is the 1.1 AVG. Other than that, he just needs to K enough batters. Heck, the 1.1 AVG might actually help that, cuz your outs are more likely to be Ks. With defensive liabilities around the board and offensive ballpark, the chance of a non-Ks out is lowered. On the other hand, MOV and CON pitchers rely on low scoring games to earn PP, and will do horribly in the PP generating department in an offensive park. Still, if you want to win, I am sure MOV and CON pitchers are better than stuff only pitcher. Stuff only pitchers are just jokes in PT, with no value to a winning team IMO. All-around pitchers are great though. Last edited by Goliathus; 06-21-2019 at 01:57 AM. |

I am using your system on my silver non-OL team for excellent results. My Lefty Gomez in the last 3 seasons has pulled in 7400PP himself. Granted, 4k of it was on 2 achievements. 2500 for hi-def inning and 1500 for something else which I can't remember off the top of my head. He has by far the most PP generation of any pitcher I have. Paul Dean is doing pretty decent as well with almost 3k in just under 2 seasons and all that PP generation is in a fully maxed offensive(1.100 AVG, 1.100 HR) park. Although XBH are set at 1.200 because there's not a ton of speed on the team. Granted, I'm hovering in the .500-.550 range, but my PP generation has skyrocketed from 2-3k/season to averaging more than 7.5k/season, with most seasons approaching 10k+.

Re: Extreme offensive settings...
I think we've got the hitters to at least make a decent living pulling it off, even though I know my pitchers will want to rip my guts out. Not a lot of power, but that can be fixed as time rolls on. This hitting squad was built on a principle of not striking out and putting the ball in play.

Maybe one of our teams will find the funds to pick up a Spahn down the road. You were spot on with your comments about when to start Entry league. The Redmond Birds team is probably the worst team anyone in the family created. The kids created it to show their friends (+dad) the mechanics of PT but with barely a day of Entry league play, the team lacks in so many areas. In contrast, the Crusaders will be a lot more competitive by the time they enter Iron league next week. We usually name the teams after recent movies but I think we may need to rename the "Redmond Birds" team since the kids are not really familiar with the Birds movie (mom was watching the movie in the other room). Maybe we will let the OL folks help decide on the new team name.... Recent movie - Team name a. Once upon a time in the West - The Showdown b. The Bad News Bears - Bad News Bears c. 12 Monkeys - The Time Travelers d. Naked Gun - The Crazy Umps
