Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

I for one, along with many others believe that there is a whole bunch of mysterious black box stuff going on behind the curtain in this game.

Do you agree? Is there a Black Box?

they admit it in the max rules and pcf/bp algo so this is not a matter of speculation. they have things that change results and they don’t show how ir when so that is a black box by definition.

correct!
the only question is really WHAT things are in the black box, not if it exists.

BUT don't worry, charlie will find us a link that says someone found a black box in an MLB dugout
this one time at bandcamp.

This being the case, I interpret the question as asking if there are ADDITIONAL, UNLISTED black box rules.

In which case the answer is lol no, your feeble minds are just casting about trying to bring order to chaos.

egvrich, to what end are your four polls? The more data the better?

To try to open people's eyes and Strat's ears hopefully.

All I know is I would not be happy if the game is rigged to favor one team over another for ANY reason! While Im all for attracting new players, making it easier for them to be successful at the expense of current players is wrong! I do believe it is hard for new players to be successful without any Strat experience whatsoever. You cant be successful in this without thinking outside the box and that requires investing time and money to experiment because if you try to set up a team based on real life you will loose. Id like to see making guys with low ABs less able to play a full season and make the pitchers cards have more of an impact to the game. Both of these wont happen. This really isnt baseball its more like softball. The hitters control most everything when it comes to having a winning team.

I don’t believe in the black box. Having said that I do think HAL is out to screw Me personally. And I have the data to prove it

Major League Baseball has trialed Black Boxes in the minor leagues. You can be called out for a strikeout without a pitcher throwing a pitch. Put that on your cards
