OOTP5->OOTP6 Conversion Formulas

MNBob · 07-28-2004, 03:04 PM

Any chance we can be given the ratings conversion formulas used when going from OOTP5->OOTP6?

There just seem be some players in our league that changed far more drastically than you'd expect.

Example:

As you can see, Brandt was a 200 K pitcher. Why did he convert over with a 1 in Stuff?

If we were given the formulas we could check players like these and edit them as needed.

I doubt these formulas will ever be released to the public.

I doubt we'll see the formulas either. However, that player you listed looks like a conversion bug. I would agree it's not right that he converted with a 1 in stuff.

How much higher are his movement and control then they were before?

If he was high stuff, but low control and movement before that may explain some of the difference.

Well, we were using the expanded rating for our league in v5, so a direct comparison is somewhat difficult. I can tell you that Brandt had an average avoid hits rating (5s, I believe) and outstanding ratings (9-10) in avoid HRs, BBs and in Ks. The specific combination of average avoid hits and top notch Ks rating seems to have fairly consistantly resulted in this sort of conversion in our league. (Which recently switched over to v6 with the latest patch.)

Here are a few more example of guys with oddly low stuff ratings while having a very high stuff talent rating. All of them fell into the same proto-DIPS type category (high avoid HRs, BBs, Ks, average avoid hits) that Brandt did.
