can i do my own file? like import/export my lineups and stuff? yeah, just ask somebody for tips on it. Pretty straight forward program wise, can be a bit buggy, and you gotta download the file every sim

every monday PD's occur (or if a guy gets hurt they can occur on that day, if its a serious injury, ie
Tuesday 4/15/2008 : OAK: Masato Yoshii was injured while pitching. Diagnosis: Ruptured Disc Back. He is definitely out for the season!
Tuesday 4/15/2008 : Masato Yoshii's talent in avoiding homers drops... Masato Yoshii's talent in avoiding walks drops... Masato Yoshii has lost some lower body strength, his duration drops to C ...
Thats the only situation you will see PD's on days other than Monday..except the file flip (which encompasses the time between the end of the season and the beginning of the offseason for the next year, late October to Early March I believe? anyway, you see a set of PDs directly following that too.

also, avoid any pitchher that doesnt have AT LEAST Good in walks for a starter (or can be camped to that) really the way the league is right now, you want the guy to be G/B in Hits, Homers, Walks. K's are a luxury, velocity and K's compliment each other very well, tough to get K's without the other. Doubles are nice, I dont like Fair doubles talent, but ask around onthat one, my opinion very well could be wrong, Average seems to be fine with a 5/6 rating in it though. i was told that doubles mean nothing

I see that Pettyjohn was pretty solid there for a while with it, but his Brilliant Homers and Walks combo seems to overachieve, figure that probably cancels

Development here happens all season, not really at one set date (Spring training is more a help shove ratings up, the individual ratings)....the Talent level ratings go up or down seemingly randomly for players throughout the year, to simulate the unpredictability of baseball prospects, Eric Plunk Jr. increases his talent in getting strikeouts! Eric Plunk Jr. increases his talent in avoiding hits! Eric Plunk Jr. increases his talent in avoiding walks! they tend to look like this, so this guy went up in Hits talent, Walks, strikeouts (talents range from: Poor, Fair, Average, Good, Brilliant). You can view the talents as the players potential, that rating will typically develop up to a certain range, which is dictated by the players talent level. Poor is 0-2 ish, Fair is 2-4, Average 5-6ish, Good 6-8ish, and Brilliant is typically 8-10 ish, for hits it caps at 10 (but the actual underneath ratings are expected per 550 at bats, Ill explain that shortly) Homers you can see up to 15 or so, but well past that is possible, it still for Brilliants tends to sit in the 9/10 area though, over 10 is a special player. The individual ratings you see are actually an expected number, for hits on a batter, its a range of averages, while you see a 7, say, that is actually somewhere between a .312 expected average to a .338 expected average, not considering ballpark factors, and for a standard league talent level. for Homers, its the expected number of HR's hit per 550 at bats, if the guy hit only from that side, so a 7 Overall /6 vs. Lefties /7 vs Righties is I believe like 25-28 or something like that per 550 Righty pitcher at bats? 22-24 I believe for 550 at bats against Lefty pitchers, and the overall is just the number you get if you average the two values together, then put it to the scale

love the start. Neugy better knock that shit off. Gerut needs to stop sucking his ratings are sick but his stats fall far short of them. Neugy is overrated.....has never simmed up to his stats
