Increasing Passed Balls

June 21, 2010 at 06:21PM View BBCode

I'm going to temporarily increase passed balls in the sim so I can work on this issue:

Well there are sure a lot more of them, on a side note are PBs used in the catcher GG calculation ?

I can't remember if PB are part of the calculation or not.

Looks like they aren't based on the currrent voting .

I'm thinking that PBs should be part of a catcher's GG calculation, particularly if we increase them the range is quite large now between low range catchers, [url=http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=48638&statsorimps=fielding]Dean[/url] and high range catchers [url=http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=48609&statsorimps=fielding]Wade[/url] .

If you want to create a formula for use in one of your leagues, let me know.

I may do that but don't you think a site wide GG formula that doesn't take PBs into account, given that PBs are just an error in another form, is tragically flawed ?

I'm waiting for someone to create a good formula that will sweep over the site. I think the 2 we currently have are flawed. But I don't think that I have the energy to mess with this stuff anymore. The trials and tribulations with the MVP formula have sucked any desire I have towards making the voting formulas good :(

Nobody seems to complain about the GG much at least :)

The formula I originally suggested took PB into account, maybe it is broken?

Dwight what was your original formula ?

Originally
The current default formula is:

(Fielding PCT * 1000) + (+/- * .5) + (RF * 15)

For catchers, the formula is:
(FLD%*1000)+(CS%)-(PB*2)

That's certainly not the formula being used in beta, based on that the AL catcher would be:

[url=http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=48597&statsorimps=fielding]Mingori[/url] - 1,029 (654)
[url=http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=48609&statsorimps=fielding]Wade[/url] - 1011 (831)
[url=http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=51925&statsorimps=fielding]Warner[/url] - 1,000 (747)
[url=http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=48313&statsorimps=fielding]Jorgens[/url] - 981 (838)
[url=http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=48249&statsorimps=fielding]Dempsey[/url] - 979 (757)
[url=http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=48218&statsorimps=fielding]Larkin[/url] - 979 (822)

(current GG votes in brackets)

So something is broken.

I believe beta is using formula #2 still.
