Let's Get This Thing On (Game Control)

May 21, 2003 at 11:40PM View BBCode

Okay, I feel like most of the bugs have been worked out. I would like to move it over to the main site as early as next week. Bob made a suggestion that we try to focus on a different area as a group every day, I think its a great idea. Here is what we had in mind:

Thursday: Pitcher Effectiveness and Pitcher Stamina
Friday: Pitcher Pinch Hitting
Saturday-Monday: Rotation Use and Bullpen Use
Tuesday: Pinch Hitters and Blow Out Pinch Hitters
Wednesday: Late Inning Defensive Substitutions and Stealing.

So please go through every detail of the games in these categories each day and report your findings.

I will be working on a couple things in the meantime:
Adding option for Tying or Winning Run under Pitcher PH for Offense
Add error checking to any screens necessary
Look at some of the CG issues
Make it so when you go from Advanced to Regular Mode, your settings are reverted to the defaults.

I added the option for Winning or Tying run. This will effectively be the same as Tying, except it will revert to Winning if the game is already tied.

I added an extra set of controls under Stealing so you can differentiate between stealing 2nd with a runner on 3rd, or without a runner on 3rd.

As cool as it is to have game controls I think that switching it in part way through a season in Dynasty Leagues is a bad idea...seeing as it's something that takes some tweaking to get used to (and since the Beta owners have a huge advantage) I've got to believe that it would be better to continue to test it until the beginning of the next Dynasty seasons.

I believe some owners are so frustrated with the lack of control over the games that they won't mind having at least some control, even if it isn't perfect.

I think that the winning/tying run fix should solve a lot of the pitcher pinch hit situations.
