Talk about a juiced stat line (.401avg, 87hr, 220rbi)

sixfour210 · 01-02-2005, 10:20 PM

One strategy I've come to follow in this game is that sticking a devloping star into a stacked lineup helps their devlopment immensely. So much that you can get a stat line like this.

What I do is similar to Billy Beane does except within the rules of ootp. Since there aren't any compensatory draft picks, I just trade off my star players for prospects when one of them doesn't want to re-sign or if I just don't want to re-sign them.

The result of this is I have a team stacked with young talent that gets about 100 extra at bats a year because they bat around so many times. This helps young guys get extra at bats and they develop quicker.

This strategy of trading away your star players once they mature helps with payroll too, which will allows me to save cash which I use in trades. Extra cash always helps me when if I'm trading my star to a team that can't afford him but has a prospect I want or if the trade is a little lopsided and they want $15 mil or so to even it out.

But anyway, as for the guy who put up those numbers, he also scored 202 times, had an .887 SLG, 242 hits and 147 walks in 603 ABs.

He's only 27 and has exactly 400 career HRs, 87 of which he hit this past year to go along with exactly 1600 career hits.

One more thing, he's injury prone and has yet to be injured AT ALL in his 9-year pro career. I used to be reluctant to trade for injury prone guys but now it seems they're the better bet.

Sounds like your League Totals under League Set-up are out of whack to get those kinds of stats.

Hmmm... do you happen to have a personal trainer on your team staff? Perhaps hailing from the bay area?

What was the second guy in batting avg and homers?

I would say it is not so much of having a good player as it's having your league totals screwed up.

Unless the next guy is hitting .350 with 40 HR then I am going to assume your league totals are inflating the stats of everyone.

I have a guy who has hit more then 100hrs in a season with more then 300rbi & i have done nothing with the modifiers. he has hit .470 more then once & it seems to me that the higher in years you go the more dominate players get. I also belive that a players power rating should have some effect on how many walks they have. He walked less then 50times each year. I also would like to point out that i am nearing the year 2080 & I started from 1998

300rbi's? I thought the rbi's roll back to 0 after 234 or something.

They roll back at 255. I have had a guy hit 104 hr and the second guy hit 74 and I have not messed with anything both guys came out of my minors about 5 years into my league and after their 3rd season they both did this.

Actually, the league totals are great. They give me very accurate totals from team to team that reflect today's style of ball.

I run the Athletics and just to give you an idea of the NL leaders:
High AVG - .345
High HR - 54
High Hits - 213
High RBI - 145
High Runs - 134

The reason why the totals are the way they are is because of my team and all of the extra at bats they get added with their accelerated development. You can get a guy that hits 87 HR and over 200 RBI if he gets 100 extra at bats a year because the team as a whole scored 8.5 runs/game.

The thing is, I'm really not cheating the game necessarily either. All I'm doing is trading off my stars when they hit free agency for the best prospects in the game at the time...and repeat.

If you take him out of the game, the leaders of both the NL and AL are both .345 in AVG. (Of course, the guy who placed second in AVG in the AL is also on my team

)

The second highest HR total was 65 in the AL and if you take away everyone on my team, the leaderboard would be 65, 41, 37, 35 and 34 as the top 5 in the AL. But I had 3 guys hit 50 or more HRs.

William4192 · 01-04-2005, 10:56 AM

That is a lot of guys over 50 homers...hmm....

That is not a lot of guys over 50hrs as I have had more then 15 hit more then 60. I personally think that it is something with going over 50 years in managing.

William4192 · 01-04-2005, 11:52 AM

Strange....

Let's put it this way....

If you take my team, the Athletics, out of the game, league totals are normal. Like I said above, the top 5 guys in homers hit 65, 41, 37, 35, and 34 if you take away the guys on my team.

The reason why the guys on my team are so beefed up is because they get so many extra at bats because of the high walk totals my team gets as a whole added with the accelerated development of the young players on my team.
