Historical Simulation Accuracy Question

Johnny Case · 08-05-2019, 12:45 PM

I'm strictly an Historical Replayer with OOTP -- and it has evolved into the best historical sports sim ever, imho -- but I've noticed a change in the Historical Simulation Accuracy page with versions 19 and 20.

The page ends with the year PREVIOUS to what one is currently playing. For example, I'm midway through a '62 replay (with the BoSox strangely on top the AL), and because the HSA page ends with the '61 stats, I have no idea where my current replay is regarding real vs. replay.

What is the point of the HSA page if one can't check the plus/minus for the current season?

Well , you can go to league, stats, teams stats and look at the current team or league total stats. For example, halfway through the season you can look here and then check how it compares to the stats and AI tab.

I was told a coding change in OOTP20 now prevents us from seeing that report until the season is over. It is what it is.

Thanks, ps, for the head's up. Well, that sucks. . .

And thank you for all your great work for our hobby.

I keep finding myself thinking, Johnny Case, why is that such a familiar name to me?

So, apparently there is an MMA/UFC/whatever fighter by that name. But that's not my thing (as the whatever might indicate) so that's not it.

But it dawned on me tonight, "Johnny Case, man of the people"- as one of the characters in the 1939 movie Holiday jokingly refers to the Cary Grant character of that name. Anyway, I'm going to guess your name here has nothing to do with that movie but it's one of my favorites so even if it doesn't I thank you for making me see that movie in my mind's eye once again.

Are you kidding, BirdWatcher?

Where do you think I grabbed the name from?? :-))

One of my all-time favorites. Nice to meet a comrade. For as Johnny says:

"Whenever I have a problem, I ask myself: 'What would General Motors do?' Then I do the opposite."

Let's change that to Apple, and we're all caught up. :-)

Love my Mac, but you're on it about Apple...or Google...or Microsloth...or Twitter (the Thunderdome for Chiclet brains)...or Tumblr...or...

Well, I am gobsmacked. Don't find many people who have even ever heard of this movie.
Wonderful to meet you my friend.
