Little confused with this statement.
New stats engine Stats are handled vastly different than in previous versions. OOTP 6.5 did store all stats that it tracked, while the new version stores only the stats it needs in order to calculate all the statistics that can be displayed. These results in less space needed, but also in a huge amount of new statistics, as the game now offers stats like VORP, a lot more splits and also double splits for the current season! As an example, you can check out the OPS of your shortstop with a 2-2 count, in June against Boston. Or discover how many homeruns your starting pitcher gave up in inning 7-9 in starts on 3 days of rest. Further, career statistics now include left/right splits for every league, no matter if its rookie-ball or the big leagues. Individual matchups are stored as well, so you can find out how your team / a player did against a certain pitcher in the past.
I guess my problem is I don't know how 6.5 did all the stats tracking and what it means. Can someone clarify this for me? I mean does that mean it won't keep track of the players stat history over his career? Thanks for helping a newb! |

It means that 6.5 and earlier actually stored all the stat values, even though (for example) you don't need to store batting average if you have values for at bats and hits.
The new version will keep the raw values needed to calculate all other stats when they're needed. Keeps the database smaller. It *will* track stat history over a career, by tracking the raw values and calculating the others from those values when needed. HTH.

This is a result of better engineering. One thing that I have learned is that if it doesn't need to be stored, don't store it. Good job Markus.
