Short Term League now hidden improvements
September 06, 2005 at 04:09PM View BBCode
I've changed the ShortTerm league to hide all improvements to see how the new changes will look for the leagues that hide improvements.I'll switch it back in a couple days.

I'm also going to hide +/- for grades as well.

Note that the part of the code that hides improvements in the boxscore is actually in the game code - so since the short term league became a hidden league as of game 82, you'll see improvements in the boxscore for games 1-81.

I can tell you I hate it already. I always take solace after a loss in an improvement or two.

Hey Bingle - not looking for comments on whether you like it or not. We're just testing the functionality here for the 2 leagues that use this system.

On another note, changing the player card ratings to not reflect the +/- has also changed the mentoring ratings. Are the leagues that are hiding improvements aware that this will happen with the mentoring ratings?

I checked improvements for the Milwaukee team and nothing shows up there either. Mission accomplished there!On another note, changing the player card ratings to not reflect the +/- has also changed the mentoring ratings.

I must have missed something here. Can someone point me to the post that talks about leagues that will hide improvements and +/-?
Thanks!

The Tony Conigliaro and Jimmie Foxx leagues use these rules. I just like to make sure I didn't do anything to break that with this latest round of changes.

It looks like we are only playing one game at a time instead of 3 in the ST league right now. Was this intended?Regards, Mike

Just curious, but why do these leagues use these rules?

I'm also going to turn off the hidden stuff.
These leagues just prefer not having all the information. They feel it makes the game more enjoyable. I can't really remember the specifics of why though - the commish of the Congiliaro league is the preacher on this topic. If you do a search on jrspc4 you can probably find some good info.

ballplayer - I've corrected it to play 3 games per session. Sometimes I lower it to 1 game per when I'm running games and testing something particular so I don't zip through the whole season - I forgot to switch it back.I'm also going to turn off the hidden stuff.

Problem is most sim owners are like drug addicts. They expect to have all that information at their finger tips, and can't imagine playing without it.
Even though playing without so much info actually provides a more enhanced managerial experience.

Blind Leagues are a more realistic GM experience. They are much more STAT driven than ratings driven.Problem is most sim owners are like drug addicts. They expect to have all that information at their finger tips, and can't imagine playing without it.
