Insane number of Es, PBs, and WPs when simulating very early leagues.

I have noticed this before (PT-20 Launch Week). Several patches later, I just tried it again, and there is definitely something VERY wrong with the defensive calculations in pre-1900 games.

The general path to replicate is...

1. Start a [New Historical Game] (I chose 1871).
2. Select [Random Players from All Eras].
3. Otherwise, pick defaults to set up, draft teams, and start the league.
4. Play out a game.

Between both teams, you will find an average of 10-12 errors (I had one game with 24 errors between both teams), and a ridiculous number of passed balls and wild pitches.

The attached Box Score screenshot is from the first game I simmed in a new league created with the above steps. The players I drafted were, for the most part, superior on defense.

The version was PT 20.4 Build 40, but it was present in the launch build as well.

The average number of errors per game in 1871 = 15.3
pb and wp likewise were high
no gloves at all remember

you could look it up as Stengel would say.

Okay, that explains that then...

A therefore assume it is Working as Designed.
