Well i set at Very low. Anything higher, and i kept getting a lot CEI's. At normal i had Cobb, Ruth, Joe Jackson, and Sam Crawford get CEI's. Just not that fun with all those injuries. Man, cant imagine what would happen if i turned them off, they'd play till they're dead lol. In 6.5, if i turned off injuries they wouldnt play this long.
BTW, he's still going at age 57. Here's his ratings and his player page: |

A pinch-hit grand slam at the age of 57?

I'd like to see the occasional player reach these late levels of their career but there has to be some hitting skill degradation along the way. If the game doesn't do that then it isn't as good as it can be in this area.

Just looked at those last screenshots. Something is definitely wrong there. I don't mind players playing late in their careers, as long as they're still viable. (I don't think an age limit should be automatically imposed.) But, that guy should've retired in '43. His stats after that are silly. No team would have kept him around if he was performing like that. Has this been brought up in the support forum?
Unless... he didn't somehow become the manager, did he, lol. Last edited by OakDragon; 06-05-2006 at 07:29 PM. |

Sounds like a great opportunity to run tests on the Aging/Dev. Speed modifiers.

lol, he lasted until 62. In one of his last years, he got 25 ab's and got 4 hits. Not sure why anyone would sign him.

1. The GM thought it would be cool to sign a player whose career began before he was born. 2. Rogers wanted to retire with full Social Security benefits without ever having to have another job. 3. His team wanted to increase its following among older fans by signing a player they would relate to more easily. Attractive fiftysomething women holding signs that say "MARRY ME, ROGERS!" come to mind. 4. If Virtual Rogers wasn't as big a jerk as Real Rogers was, he could provide "veteran leadership" in the clubhouse. Someone apparently forgot to tell the GM that "Civil War veteran" wasn't the sense in which the term was meant in this particular case.

What were his final numbers?
I began running a postwar replay this evening, and Hank Greenberg won't retire so far. He's 45 now in 1956, and keeps signing minor league contracts to play. The only thing I can figure is that he wants 500 homers, he's at 489, he was at 463 at the end of 1952, his last somewhat productive year. I'm beginning to wonder if Markus added any sort of milestone goals to the player logic. |

Okay, it just turned over to 1957 and Hank Greenberg retired.

Keep in mind the sample we're looking at here as well. If a Franco, Paige, etc. can play effectively into their late 40s in 100ish years of MLB history I don't think it's unrealistic to see outliers playing into their early 50s in the thousands of years of history that we're generating. Having guys play into their 60s is probably a stretch from a biological standpoint though.

So the moral to the story here is,if you want realilistic career numbers based on the true major league baseball numbers in the 100 yrs plus of baseball,you leave injurys on normal,if not,you get this silliness.

The most famous of these is Joe "Iron Man" McGinnity. He first played pro baseball in the Southern League in 1893. After playing the next year in Kansas City, he dropped out for a couple of years. He returned to baseball in 1898, playing for Peoria. He was brought up to the majors in 1899 and played some ten seasons in the big leagues, including two 30-win seasons and pitching both games of a doubleheader three times in 1903. His last major league season was in 1908, when he was 38. After his major league stint, he played in the Eastern (now International) League for four seasons which included a 30-win season. He followed this up with several seasons of baseball on the west coast, mostly with the Northwestern League. He took another break from pro baseball after WWI, this one of four years, before returning and playing for Danville of the Three-I League. McGinnity finished up his baseball career in 1925, at age 54, posting a 6-6 record for Dubuque of the Mississippi Valley League. His 422 innings pitched and 11 shutouts he posted in the 1909 season are still records in the International League. His total W-L record in his professional baseball career was 482-357. |

Things like this happening are just silly, though. Playing into one's fifties is one thing. Being kept on an ML team when you're hitting under .200 is quite another. Heck, for 4 straight years he didn't even get a hit! There is definitely a player management AI bug in there somewhere.

Just wondering if the combination of a DB which deletes some of the marginal players, and a setup which makes fictional rookies into complete scrubs has too little depth - meaning declining (or declined) veterans are getting contract offers because they're still better than the alternative.
