New and Improved Player Cards

How are the ballpark effects - particularly BP homers - taken into account?

Easy. They are not.

These bar graphs would be much more helpful if they were made with your home park bp numbers or a possibility of doing it with both your home park and the park you were playing at for that night's games.

Joe the Jet offers that type of calculation, so the coding is definitely available. The trick would be to expand the display for each card and to offer a drop-down menu for the ballpark of interest.

I had only seen this feature on an active team, I thought it was an indicator of the actual stats up to that point in the season

do the graphics assume clutch (the ones preceded by a '$') results are hits or outs?


if I had to guess, i'd think 'no'

Hmm, if everything is calculated as 0,0,0,0 then lovers of Petco ......

I don't like the new Card Chance Bar Charts. Too much information. Let the owners figure things out. That is a big part of the challenge in this game.

This definitely levels the playing field for ratings disk vs non-ratings disk users.

The Mystery card game change a while back to not let HAL set blank lineups was a game changer for me with that card set in terms of the game play experience. I very rarely play a non theme mystery card league.

I think this will be a game changer to a lesser extent for the single season and ATG sets.

I do think this levels the playing field for everyone, which is always a good thing.

I also think the casual disinterested player will be more likely in the future to use pitchers parks with low BP HRs to help them assess which hitters and pitchers would do well in their home park just by looking at the bar graphs - without a lot of effort on their part. So maybe that will help keep that segment of SOM users interested enough to keep playing - instead of trying it a couple of times, throwing up their hands in disgust after a few less than stellar seasons and calling it quits, never to be heard from again.

Not mentioned in this thread: the bar graphs don't consider HBP.

What is needed now is to update the 1953 and 1969 seasons as they are now Super Advanced.
