ATG new cards batch #5 debuts 1/30/12

[quote:c2205a684a]clearly, my atg6 winning percentage shows that not all cards are perfectly priced. [/quote:c2205a684a] :lol:

Given that it's gone from .590 to .567 in about 1 month of playing in leagues with me instead of mighty moose, I'm not sure I'd cite my winning pct. as evidence of anything if I were you. Hell, in a good pct. of those recent leagues you are well under .500.

Given your current performance, if you were to play another 8 leagues with me you might not even be at .500 after all is said and done. Certainly that's the direction you are headed in -- with shocking rapidity. I would conservatively venture to say that you have managed to make yourself -- irrelevant. LMAO.

That said, your suggestion for adding a random component to the pricing is a good one, but I very much doubt it is currently in play. Pricing [b:c2205a684a]has [/b:c2205a684a]become more accurate with each iteration of ATG but there are fortunately some good outliers still remaining. Perhaps someday you'll even figure out who they are. :wink:

BTW no one is underpriced by 20% of the 10M+ guys -or even 15%. Oh, I'm sure you think Vaughan (at least you realized his name isn't Arkney by now) and probably Bonds are but you are simply wrong if that is what you think.

I would be very unhappy to find out any cards were being under or over priced on purpose, especially if any 1 person or group had a way of knowing which cards were intentionally mispriced.

And no totally accurate prices would not result in everyone finishing 81-81. Because team building skills and matching players to ballparks would still be in play. Even when a card is perfectly priced the value of the card relative to results can be significantly influenced by proper ballpark matching. Plus the factor of properly arranging a lineup to maximize runs or getting the balance right starters verses relievers.

As usual, Weinberg is full of ****. Perfect pricing is IMPOSSIBLE. There are just too many variables in a league that can and will make a card either over or underpriced for the given league.

I'm pretty upset that I missed the chance to play in one of the more recent "Occupy" leagues. Oh well, there's always the barnstormers finals; where Weinberg will ultimately fall due to the rapid influx of new player cards that his omnipotent yet flawed database cannot process in time.


:roll:

I'm real excited about that Garciaparra card btw. Don't know if I'll ever use it but it sure is a cool season/card.

[The Last Druid]

Yeah, Weinberg's excuse for losing in the tour last year --blaming Bernie for the influx of new cards -- was possibly the funniest excuse I have ever heard. Sure beats the crap out of my dog eating my homework. :lol:

Well the guys name is Whine-berg

Why would the supposition be that even if the pricing were perfect that teams would all be 81-81?

Me confused :shock:

[The Last Druid]

Only because the illogical is inherently confusing, if one tries to make sense out of it.

Slimeberg had an okay night. Only dropped 1 point to .566. :lol:

Nothing against Mark, but pricing is formula-based using data that should be readily available. If I'm running the site, I have the formula in the code and as soon as I plug the data in, there's the price. I don't wait for a member of the community to supply it when he has the time.

[ADRIANGABRIEL]

I am pretty sure the formula yields different salaries for different park effects. Knowing usage, you could program a weighted average salary and introduce usage-based variable pricing.
