Cringer -> Batting Averages (6/19/2006 1:29:06 AM)
Ok, here is my career.... 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.

Just finished my 1928 season (real players) and the highest Batting average record was set at 369 by Jim Bottomley. The previous record had been 368 by Babe Ruth. 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).

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.

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!!

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.

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

Interesting. Are we talking historical and fictional, or just historical that you see this?

lynchjm24 -> RE: Batting Averages (6/20/2006 3:04:30 AM)
I only play fictional - can't talk about historical.
