I think this is a great improvement.

Thanks for answer on outfield defense. Do you have flyball distribution to outfielders anywhere? I assume the CF makes the most plays. However, I'd be curious as to whether the LF or RF makes more plays so I know where to put my weakest fielder.I think this is a great improvement.

Where can I go to see this beta season information? Is it viewable to all team owners?

Jim - I have data on that, but it's not in the sim yet. It's been a long time since i originally programmed this part of the sim, so I can't remember where the original numbers for this came from. I'll have to check the distributions.Tyson

Granted, Max. And how does that explain my second baseman who is B+ range, A+ arm, leads the league's 2b in RF, DP, A, TC...and is the worst defensive player on my team, at minus 5?

Tyson, I'm noticing in the beta testing that there is a lot more minus than plus.
Maybe SD owners are just used to playing subpar defensive players?
Tyson, I think this improvement has the potential to be fantastic. Thanks.

Where can we find team defensive stats? Or is that just in beta right now?

Thanks Tyson, please let me know when you find it. I've been looking around the internet. Looks like LF handles more balls than RF but can't tell yet if that is related just to putouts on flyballs or also incorporates basehits.

No questions; just a comment. I think these changes could make things even more exciting.

When do errors come into play for range. It should be done after the +/- is done since players with good range make occasional errors that bad fielders dont get too.

I second that. This is awesome news!!

Bone - that is essentially how it works.

Jim - thanks to ScooterPie's suggestion, I've been working with Retrosheets MLB data and can run queries against a database I setup. So I can lookup this kind of stuff now based on real data. Just got it setup last week though, so it'll take some time to change all the little things I want to change/verify.Bone - that is essentially how it works.

Maybe I missed it at the beginning of this thread, but is +/- mostly affected by infielder's range as compared with arm? Or are they averaged together to determine ability?
Admin
For OF & 1B it is nearly all range.

For C/2B/SS/3B, it will be a bit of both, but weighted more towards range.For OF & 1B it is nearly all range.

Will you therefore weight improves with arm/range like you have contact/power to reflect importance to players?Originally posted by Admin

Will there be something in our manager choices to to have ABE make late inning defensive changes?

It is already there on the "Substitutions page" of Manager Preferences.

saltluver - I'm not sure I follow you. Arm & range are already bundled if that's what you mean.Tyson

One more wrinkle. OF Arm will play a part in changing some doubles into singles. I'm going to use that as a way to rebalance things because of the extra doubles added by poor 1B/3B defense.Tyson

One other question - I'm assuming that for players who are out of position, their +/- effects will be based on their reduced arm/range scores based on the OOP penalty?
Will there be any other impact to players being out of position under the +/- system?

We haven't changed anything with the out of position penalties. They will affect arm and range in the same way as before.Tyson

I think all of this sounds great and is a huge step in the right direction for the game. I was just looking around in beta and noticed the Game Log on the players card. That is a pretty sweet new addition will it be coming over in the next changes in May.
