Do you know?

Does anyone know how the cards are input into the TSN game? Does an individual have to enter the info off of the cards into the game or is the game engine with cards altered by TSN?

I ask because it seems that every year there are a handful of cards that underperform or overperform to extremes consistently. I am not saying that they underperform vs price but underperform vs the actual card image. I have played for years in face to face strat leagues and have a pretty good idea what a card can do and what the range of performance can be over 162 games.

TSN is presented with a set of cards from SOM. While the probabilities are exact as the RL cards you may order from Glen Head, some columns may be off.

In addition, the types of stats you get from TSN vs. H2H will be different as the salary structure and competition is different and more diverse.

While both are fruit, it is almost comparing apples to oranges.

What do you mean by "some columns may be off"? What I am trying to figure out is if the chance of human error exists because someone has to enter the info. off of the cards into the game engine. Or does the card info already exist in the game engine.

LOL, can you imagine Bernie sitting there having to type in every player! :shock: :lol:

No I'm pretty damn sure TSN just gets a spreadsheet or database with all the player info on it and just uploads the card information.

Uh...I don't think this is quite how it works. There is a CD ROM game already in existence, as you all know. I believe Bernie has some general controls over parameters, and definitely controls the card pricing, but not the cards.

If the accusation can be proven, then the player data loaded into the game (CD ROM) is incorrect. Let's keep in mind we are only dealing in binary numbers here, translated into baseball players.

SOM cards are only a board game representation of those numbers. They make mistakes on the cards every year, but they catch them and post the mistakes on their site. They also post patches to fix the CD ROM games people have purchased.
