Possible explanation: I've noticed the latest builds seem to rank pitchers with mid to high 90's stuff much higher than their overall ratings would indicate they should be. We may need to re-rate a few of those guys to reflect that.

I did drop Severino a bit, will keep an eye on him and check again next build

That definitely sounds like the problem. He was #15 in my game, and I was like, "Where did the Yankees get all these nice prospects?"

Thanks for taking a look at it. I know you guys worked really hard on the roster set this year, and coupled with the new features, it's really made this edition of OOTP the best yet. You guys deserve just as much credit as Markus (imo).

Ryan Sadowski is genuinely significantly overrated.

Yup. Sure was. I don't think I ever re-rated him from the Korean rosters I used as a base for the KBO

Anyhow, haveband took care of it!

Ok thank you. I appreciate the response.

Is this thread just for the MLB? Because I noticed a couple of issues with the Dutch leagues. In particular there is a fair number of players that don't have a date of birth and/or a city of birth listed; and the abbreviations of the dutch provinces are non-standard, which causes Noord Brabant and Noord Holland to both be abbreviated to NOO.

The most widely accepted set of abbreviations is:

DR = Drenthe
FL = Flevoland
FR = Friesland
GD = Gelderland
GR = Groningen
LB = Limburg
NB = Noord-Brabant
NH = Noord-Holland
OV = Overijssel
UT = Utrecht
ZH = Zuid-Holland
ZL = Zeeland

If it is required, I could probably help out with finding out the places and dates of birth of players. Also if any translations are needed from Dutch, I could also help with that.

We can't directly fix the abbreviations, but perhaps can work with Andreas to get them fixed in the db.

Any places and dob's you can find for Dutch players would be wonderful.

I've had real trouble finding info (dob's, hometowns, even height and weight) on some of the Dutch players. The team sites and general Dutch baseball sites aren't much help on that in many cases, and Baseball Ref is no better.

I'd though of getting someone who speaks Dutch to email the teams and KNVSB to ask for info and did get a volunteer to do so but didn't get around to making it happen.

So anything you can contribute would be greatly welcome.

btw, the Honkbal Hoofdklasse is not yet updated to 2014 rosters in game. I'll be getting to that soon.

Is there a way to have the Cubans players in the MLB have their Cuban national series stats in their history?

for example chapman, who is missing his Holguin years stats. is this asking too much?

No

I have all those stats collected, along with a lot of other missing stats. Still need to sort them all and get them imported though. So they'll end up in the game fairly soon, maybe a couple patches from now.

I see someone reported on the extra spaces with...

detroit__(vsl)_tigers
seattle__(vsl)_mariners

but I didn't see anything about these two having a space instead of a dash between ni and gun...

hiroshima_toyo_(ni_gun)_carp

In the Cuban League (Serie Nacional de Baseball). the game has the Isla de la Juventud Pineros, but I think the Isla de la Juventud Piratas is correct. Am I wrong?

You're right. It changed this year and I never caught it.

Is it going to be corrected? I just want to know what to do for a logo.

It will be. Andreas has to do any names changes himself though, so it won't happen till after he comes back from vacation.

Erisbel Arruebarruena. name is spelled wrong..it should be Erisbel Arruebarrena. I did add his bbrefminors id, but I didn't fix the last name..I'll leave that to you folks.

I'm gonna debate that a bit, Rod.

Seems most American sources have it split 50-50 on the second u but my Cuban sources all have it Arruebarruena with the second u. I'm gonna go with the Cubans on this one and assume they'd know best.

EDIT: Check that, Peter Bjarkman and Clay Davenport both have it as Arruebarrena without the second 'u'. They're both usually impeccably reliable on Cuba.

I'm now well and truly confused

I guess we should just go with the one 'u'?

Bigrod · 04-26-2014, 11:05 PM

IMO Best if we use the American version..as it is used the lookouts roster. one u. BTW I love confusing you..

You win.

Arruebarrena it is!

I don't know if this is the roster set or the game engine, or bumping up stuff ratings for relievers. But, there are too many relievers that are striking out more than 9 per inning. In fact, the league's k/9 rate for bullpens is always above 9, with the provided rosters.

In reality, it looks like it is about 8 or so, according to fangraphs the last few years.
