Batting Averages - 6/19/2006 1:29:06 AM

Started in 1902, it is a fictional league/players.

I have not seen a single player hit for over .350 in over 20 years of the league now. The highest is actually the low .340's. Obviously this is a bit irregular when compared to 'real life' baseball.

I am not a huge fan of messing with sliders much (in any game). I am wondering though if others have had to do so to get batting averages up. I don't want the whole league's averages to go up though, and that is my dilema here. I just want to see some .360, .380 seasons from guys. Maybe even someone flirting with .400.

By the way in 1927 Ruth hit 68 homeruns.  Some of that might be using the current Yankee Stadium Configuration instead of a more historical version.

In my 1927 League, Ruth hit .368 (he hit .356 in 27) and knocked in 61 Home Runs (60 in 27).

He however crapped out in the WS, hitting .280 with 4 Homeruns (he was hitting less than .200 with 1 HR through the first 4 games, but he turned it on in the final two, the Yanks ended up losing to the Giants in 6).

Status: offline 		I wonder if being a fictional league has helped keep the BA's down for me? I have a guy who has been at or floated near 100 for both contact and eye, so I know it's not the player ratings themselves. Not sure what else it could be. Not a killer though, it's just a slightly different baseball world for me which makes it fun.

Status: offline 		I was just about to post that - I find fictional leagues just don't have the top mind-blowing stat leaders.  I've posted about this for years, but now I think it is just fictional.  Apparently historical leagues do work properly this way.

Not sure how to change that or why it is happening.  But we need those stand-out stat seasons to make the record books come alive.

Viva Le Fictionalie!!

I think that 07 is better in this respect. By being able to have players decline at a later age I'm finding higher career totals, and I'm finding more outliers in single seasons in this version then in older versions. Don't know if it was be design or if it just started to happen on it's own.

Btw, what is an 'outlier'? Do you mean someone like Nolan Ryan w/ his 300+ K seasons?

That's what I'm getting at. Older versions of Puresim had bunches of guys at the top of leaderboards - this version seems better at separtation for a few stars.
