Up until this year, when looking at a teams hitters statistics, the columns at the end have been:

BA SLG OBP BAL

but, for some reason, this year you've decided to display them as

BA OBP SLG BAL

could this be switch back? I am constantly having to re-check myself which year I am looking at and which column is which

am I the only one to have noticed this?

anyone? Bueller?

actually, I like it much more the way it is now. Before, on some pages, you had on-base before slugging, and on some others, you had slugging before on-base. Now all screens are consistent---or at least appear to be consistent.

I like it better myself this way. I hated the old way because for some reason I found myself wanting to know OBP before SLG and I'd have to read right to left.

I agree with the above two posters. Miles it will take a while to get used to, but I think it is for the better...

Now, as for that dropdown system they installed in 2005... :roll:

BA/OBP/SLG is how most stat lines appear these days (see baseball-reference.com or baseball-almanac.com for examples).

Our game displays originally showed BA/SLG/OBP because that's how I think most stat lines were before a couple of years ago. But now I believe BA/OBP/SLG is more correct now.

The real problem is if there's inconsistency between our SOM games or worse, within the same game. I apologize for that; I would like to find the time to make them all BA/OBP/SLG.

thanks for the response(es)

I have never noticed the inconsistency, just the fact that I keep looking at my new teams thinking WOW, my OBP is awesome, er, wait...

;)

anyway, as long as it is consistent I don't care one way or another
