As a fictional player I'm all about giving more life to players, to an extent.
What about family lines? I'd love to see relatives (father-son or brothers) with a little note on their main profile screen with a link to the relative's player card. If such a thing is possible to do, of course. |

In my opinion, a large part of managing is not know when to bunt or hit-and-run or steal, but to motivate your players and create a winning culture that they all buy in to.

That's a fairy tale IMO.

It would be interesting for OOTP, if having brothers (like BJ and Justin Upton), helps their stats. Also after last year's Red Sox, there should be some sort of chemistry rating that changes according to morale, leadership ability, greed, work ethic, etc. The team chemistry should also increase with winning streaks and decrease with losing streaks. Furthermore, the greater the amount of service time with one team should help the chemistry.

If we must have chemistry and its inevitable fake brother clutch, please please please let me turn these fake concepts off. Would possibly be game breakingbfor me.
I would really rather see ai tweaks, stats fetures, etc take priority over this. |

No offense, but even if someone's life isn't all that interesting, it doesn't mean that it's not important. Perfectly boring people can be strong contributors to just about any profession or pursuit. And who they are in street clothes does make a huge impact on who they are on the job. That's why we hear a lot about how someone's facebook or twitter activity can affect their job candidacy. |

I disagree. Despite being a fan of Sabermetrics in most ways, one place where I disagree is the manager's impact on a team. I think that team chemistry starts with the manager, as well as motivating players to give it all they've got.

I'd like to see leagues and clubs given more life. Examples: postponements; winter meetings where proposed rule changes are voted upon; unusual, rare events such as draft choices being voided, clubs being forced to play some games on the road because of a problem with their stadium; etc.

I think part of the issue with player personality impacts on the real world of baseball is that we only have partial, mostly media-driven information on the subject. So, we get the impression that winning teams have better chemistry (as if the high-character guys from the 2013 Red Sox all got hit by a truck in 2014. If chemistry had a major impact, we wouldn't be seeing that team be one of the worst in the league, since Ellsbury was never considered much of a leader, and literally almost everyone else is still there), that certain high-leadership people drive teammate excellence (when this almost has to be highly variable from season to season, since teams can keep the same roster and have wildly variable player performances), and that managers have a huge intangible impact. We can't tell whether these things are true or not, we can just tell that baseball writers like to tell us about them, because they need stories and straight-up game recaps get old for them to write and for us to read. Using the media's filter to try to judge what actually has an impact on the field strikes me as a very, very bad idea. On the managers, I suspect that MLB managers are already filtered from among those who have a generally positive impact, so there's a negligible intangible impact between various MLB managers. A MLB manager might be a much better motivator than Joe Blow, but comparing one MLB manager to another might not indicate a difference worth bothering to try to simulate in the game. Or, isn't that already, via "Manage Veterans", "Manage Rookies", and so in in the manager ratings? |

Here's my problem the game knows when you reach mile stones nice big round numbers but I remember in my fictional league I broke the home run record which was at 732 I hit number 733 and no newspaper even mentioned it. More realistic should be that something like this should be front page news "NEW HOME RUN KING" or something like that. To be honest since nothing was mentioned I was disappointed I wanted to take a screen shop of the article.
Also Scouting is very ugh I remember I scouted a player (older 9 time all-statr) and the scout said this guy won't accomplish much will never make a team or something in those lines. Really yeah his 35 on his last legs of his career but he won't accomplish much? It should at least say "this 35 year old is a former all-star has hit for power in the last with 512 home runs, won't provide similar numbers now but will be good bench player and influence for the younger players on the team. " Something like that would be more realistic

hi there! i found this thread because i searched the forum for 'personality'.
so, first and foremost, i'm a noob of this game - owner of ootp15 since last sunday - and a baseball-noob, too! but, playing the game as manager of the hanshin tigers, i think giving a 20 year old japanese pitcher 'ryoma matsuda' a personality like "Enjoys a fine cigar after every win." is just plain wrong! - a 76 year old coach... ok... but a 20!! year old sportsman from nippon?! NO WAY! ok, hope that wasn't to harsh a comment for a first post. enjoy and cheers! chem! |
