MLB 1903 Season Version 3.0 in progress

GuamYankee · 10-10-2005, 10:54 AM

As stated, I will be releasing a new and improved version of my all-in-one MLB 1903 historical replay pack. Currently, this new version stands to have 2 major new features, and 1 critical bug fix. Estimated release time is early to late December. I have alot going on right now and am working on it in my very limited spare time. You can download the old version, version 2.0 here:
http://files.simcentral.net/index/Detailed/3824.shtml

Here is what will be added and fixed in version 3.0:
1. Update individual player histories with relevant stats, awards and interesting factoids up to the start of the 1903 season.
2. Update all individual team records in the almanac.
3. Remove the All-Star game, which causes a conflict when scheduled on a day when other games are played. There are no open dates in the 1903 schedule, therefore the All-Star game does not work. If you schedule it on a date with other games, none of the stats for those other games will count for the season.
4. A few new player photos have been discovered.

Here is what has been previously included in version 1.0 and 2.0:

Version 1.0 Features:
1. 1903 MLB Players imported from Lahman, then severely edited by myself. Edited stats are: Range, Arm, Speed, Steal, Running Instinct, Catcher Passed Ball rating, Fielding Percentages, Nicknames, Hometowns.
2. Almanac lists AL and NL records up to 1902.
3. All known existing player pics included.
4. Stadium pics included (Henry's mainly, not the actual stadium for all. I picked ones that I thought best resembled the city and team for that time period.)
5. Imported stadium characteristics and weather.
6. 1903 Schedule imported.
7. Transaction and Injury timeline included (text file).
8. Historical team logos included.
9. Team managers names added.
10. All league setup settings optimized for immediate play.

Version 2.0 Features:
-Added folders to zip file so it unzips in the correct folders.
-Added real photo of Chicago Cub's West Side Park and New York Highlanders Hilltop Park.
-Changed all player's defensive range so that it uses their 1903 range factor.
-Added/Updated several player photos, many of them color.

By the way, I'm debating where to start with the National League team records. Do you prefer to see them started in 1901, or using the 1800's records?

OK, everyone had a chance to respond. Therefore, I'll make the decision myself. For the team records in the NL, I'm going to use the pre-1900 records. (1876-1902) While this means there are some records that will probably never be broken, that's how it is in real life too.
