Usually, do the additional players are in the ''unleashed'' card set (on strato on line game) or not ?

This question is worded really weird, i think what you are asking is,

do all the players listed in the ratings that are indicted in the ADDITIONAL players group for the board game wind up in the Unleashed set in the online game.


The simple answer is no.

But it's not a simple answer. ADDITIONAL players are in BOTH the Regular and Unleashed set for the online game.

There have also been players that were in the Regular set for the board game that wind up in the Unleashed set online.

It's up to the criteria that the playtesters use ( which for some of us SEEMS arbitrary).

If you have a specific example, I can make and educated guess based on past players, but that's all it will be.

Also note, that the online game has altered S/R pitchers in both the Regular set and Additional set that have less than 4 starts, and minimal innings with dominate cards to be Relief pitchers only.

I think Tom Wilhelmsen may very well fall into this category in this year's set.


EDIT
Actually, I just checked and Wilhelmsen isn't even a Starter in the board game, despite starting 2 games.

Did my answer help? Or add to the confusion??

if you look at the past years
a pitcher needs about 30 ip to be included (29.2rounds to 30)
a hitter about 40 abs
unleashed or not is a call usually made on an unknown basis but often a really good card from a spare see Kozma and Falu from 2012

Sorry for my wording... french is my maternal langage...

Thanks for the nice answers and examples guys. That helped a lot.

No problem, as I said if you have a specific player or two your worried about, post them and we'll take a stab at where we think they'll fall.

Derek Holland ? Pretty borderline case I think.

Would be an extreme unleashed card, if Strat included him. At 37 IP he might make it, although they might also decide that his numbers are just too good to be included in the set

His card ratings doesn't look "too good" not to be included.

Wilhelmsen started 2 games, but in each of those he went 2 innings in each, perhaps SOM treated it like a relief appears?
