Let me preface this by saying I don't expect it to happen.

I think it would be cool to see an in-season stat column for % of rolls that fell on a players card during the season. I know it all balances out in the long run, but might be cool (and/or useful) to see during the early phase of the season if you have players that are slumping or rocking.

It's avail in the CDRom game, so the SOM engine tracks it in the stats database.

never thought of that :idea: ... great idea!

I've often thought of that but, to me, it would take me out of the suspension of disbelief mode.

I used to sit -- and still OCCASIONALLY do -- with the box scores and where a good pitcher was getting shelled, I would analyze how much of it was 456 and how much was 123. If the rolls were hitting the batters' cards, not much could be done. But if they hit my pitchers' cards -- well, it may just be a crabpy card.

I stopped because I like to look at Strat as a "gestalt," and to break apart too much of the RESULT for me would take fun out of it.

That said, I think that stat [i:e72df3b005]would[/i:e72df3b005] be good addition to the TSN game. It WOULD, overall, give you an idea whether your streak of bad (or good) luck is the red dice, or whether it's just a bad card for you in that slot.
