Also, I'm setting both leagues up as Private leagues on the backend so we can trade draft picks.

I'm going to run the first 3 games right now so people can get an idea of how the mentor stuff works in case you missed it earlier this week.

Couple of questions.
-Will these current grades remain the same if I keep my lineup the way it is?
-What exactly do these grades mean?
SP Mentor Grade: C
RP Mentor Grade: D+
Batter Mentor Grade: B-

Tyson, these were my grades in game 1 v.s the Chicago Something. I read the mentor thread but im still a little in the dark. Can you explain this again as if im a 1st grader?Couple of questions.

Actually my grades look like this. Shouldnt my SP grade be higher since I have 3 30+ sp's in my lineup?SP Mentor Grade: C-
RP Mentor Grade: F
Batter Mentor Grade: D

I would have thought your SP would be at least a C+, let me recheck the calculations to make sure I didn't miss anything.
This grade influence how many improvement chances your players will receive in the game. B- is about average. So if you have a B-, the players will get about the same number of chances they normally get. Anthing better than B- will mean increased chances, anything lower than B- will be decreased chances.

The grades will remain the same if you keep your lineup the same - unless one of your mentors has a birthday. Oh, also the winning factor. If you beat a team ahead of you in the standings, you might see a jump as well (there will be a jump, just not sure if it would be enough to change the grade).I would have thought your SP would be at least a C+, let me recheck the calculations to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I put some additional logging info into the program - running a few more games to check your numbers.

A dumb question: Do the pitcher mentor grades -- and the batters for that matter -- vary depending on the playing time of the mentors in that particular game?
youngallstar
I have 3 sp who are over 30. So lets say that is a C+. It seems strange to me that I would need at least 4 Sp's over 30 to break even in SP improvement chances.
Also, my RP mentor is an F. Lets say for example I dont improve that all year, how much will that hurt my rp's chances for improving? Could it cause declines even though they are so young?

Ahh, I see. Looks like I need to trade a couple of my young Rp's for some veterans.I have 3 sp who are over 30. So lets say that is a C+. It seems strange to me that I would need at least 4 Sp's over 30 to break even in SP improvement chances.

Yeah, looks like there is a problem. I'm looking into it.
youngallstar
But one thing I noticed, out of three teams ive seen there has only been one B-. Not sure what that means exactly, just an observation.

youngallstar - still looking into your team. One of the players isn't being counted (at least not in game 5). Also, I'm going off of "calculated velocity/control" to determine overall rating. Not actual overall rating. A players velocity/control may drop during a game for either being on the road, or for being tired. I think that's what may be causing the fluctuations and lower than expected numbers.

hcboomer - see the thread on mentoring for complete details. But the majority of batter points are earned based on who is in the starting lineup. You'll get a few points for guys on the bench. For pitchers, playing time doesn't matter.youngallstar - still looking into your team. One of the players isn't being counted (at least not in game 5).

looks like its using the right number, but the page is reporting the wrong number.

Oh, I see what's going on. It seems to be working as planned according to the calculations. Now I might have to change the calculations a bit, let me play with the math some.

The standings in the short term don't appear to be existent. We've played 3 games.

If pitchers' playing time doesn't matter game to game for the mentoring grades, why would mine be coming up differently in every game -- without having made any roster changes?

By the way, not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere, but there are no standings being generated at this point in the LT league.
tysonlowery
No standings in LT? I'll have a look. Probably something I forgot to do when resetting the league. Don't exactly have a strict process for that.

Sorry, I've been reading through the posts and maybe I'm missing something. Is the issue of the changing pitcher mentor grades from game to game wrapped up in the overall problem with some of the calculations? That makes sense -- I just thought maybe those problems were related to the grade level more than the game-to-game changes.

no problem - I think I was being a bit unclear:I found the fluctuations at this point - which I believe was after game 9 in the LT league. This has been fixed.
