Moderator: Palmtana

Is there a 100 Win (give or take) curse in the game?

Absolutely, it's bitten me in the ass many times!

Undeniably. However, there are a number of results that are calculated on top of the game engine— things that in the board game were a split card result——- BP home runs, fielding results, injuries etc— these kind of results would be far easier to modify. Possible but unlikely.


If they can program a modifier to adjust dice roll results because of pitcher fatigue, I'm sure other modifiers could be created that affect the roll outcomes.

The Orioles, Dodgers and Braves will be whining about a 100 win curse all winter long. Just because you win the most games doesn't matter in a short series playoff. No curse.

Heard a fun stat on ESPN last week: Since 1903, the team with a better record in the regular season has won 54% of head-to-head series matchups in the postseason. So, basically a coin flip. :) That's the beauty of baseball.

I have yet to win 100 games close a couple of times, so may not be qualified to weigh in , however there are a few things not mentioned that lead me to believe it's unlikely.

first in winning the 100 games the team in question has likely beat several sub par teams . in the playoffs the competition is revved up.

also if two or three teams have 100 win seasons one or two of them will not get a ring.

I had 99 wins twice but lost both times because more experienced manager beat me.

anyway just food for thought :idea:
