Is It Possible to See or Chart a Player's Ratings?

torpidbeaver · 09-11-2016, 08:29 PM

My Gold Glove-winning, Rookie of the Month, starting All-Star, and previous #3 in the MLB prospect Potential dropped off the face of the earth at some point in June of his 3rd year. He was a 5-star potential, and began the year as a 5-star OVR. He then dropped to a 2-star potential, but has held a 4-star OVR. I don't pay a whole lot of mind to OVR, but when my Head Scout says my 25-year-old stud CF's POT is cratering, and he's basically doomed to a vicious case of entropy? That's got me worried.

Anyway, I wanted to be able to look more closely at how he'd progressed throughout his time with my organization and see what's worrying my Scout. Looking at his Scouting Report history is okay, but I'd hoped to see if he'd lost a step or two in speed, or if his Arm rating had fallen because of a ruptured tendon in his finger.

Is there any way to see a history of his ratings? It'd be cool to get some sort of chart to see how he (and other players) have evolved.

Barring that, is there any way to get OOTP to export a player's ratings like you can with statistics? I could possibly set myself a reminder to export those ratings at the beginning and ending of every year to chart what I want in Excel.

I play 99% online leagues so I have custom views of ratings, potentials and fielding for hitters and pitchers then use write report to disk which opens in browser then save as html and open that in excel and save it each month as a desperate tab

Yes! Duh! Of course.

Can I ask if you have a way to visualize those changes? I'm trying to figure out a way to make a graph that shows month-to-month changes.

I guess I could make a different page for each player, but I'd much prefer to see all the players in a single graph.

It's probably not possible, but I figured I'd ask.

Its completely possible if you keep pulling the data files for it. The commish of one of my online leagues wrote his own interface to visualize them. Takes a lot fo know how but its certainly possible.

MarkInCincy · 09-12-2016, 09:28 PM

Ok that should have been "separate" tabs not desperate. Search online for Excel graphing tutorials is probably best way. I have generic chart tabs for batting, fielding and pitching and just copy the data over from the players appropriate tab. It is just one player at a time since that works for me most of the time. I have been thinking of expanding it to handle multiple but have not found the time to do it....... Yet

Ah, okay. One at a time is probably best then, as I'm totally excel clueless.

Do you have to manually cut and paste each player's monthly updates into their various data fields?

So... like, the Y Axis is the 20-80, right? And the X Axis is time? Then like... however many lines with a legend for each rating you're tracking?

Can you/do you track stuff like weight, salary, OVR and POT, even though they're on completely different scales?

Wow. I know this shouldn't be that hard, but I seem to go from 0-ridiculously frustrated with Excel. Maybe this isn't for me.

MrBojangles · 09-12-2016, 09:38 PM

Maybe recommend adding this sort of ability within the game itself?

MarkInCincy · 09-12-2016, 09:45 PM

Kind of, Y axis is whatever scale is for the league, other than that yeah.. It really only graphs well if all are same scale, so weight would not work but you could convert stars to the 20-80, 5=80,4=65,3=50,2=35,1=20

I second that. Shouldn't be too hard to graph the data.

Cool, thanks. Made my first post ever in the Suggestion Box forum: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...tionality.html

Anyway, like the Cubs of my youth, guess I'll wait till next year.

MrBojangles · 09-15-2016, 01:40 AM

I'd love to see your suggestion come true. It would add a new depth to this already great game.

torpidbeaver · 09-15-2016, 02:02 AM

Here's how a version of Football Manager does it. Hope we could get something like this too!

Is it possible to export the editor ratings, not just the scouted ratings today? That might have some use for commissioners or others interested in the very granular data on talent distribution in their leagues.
