ganguy -> Player Ratings Scale (7/5/2006 9:57:58 PM)

I had been using the 1-100 scale, but recently changed to the 1-10 scale. I was wondering if any of you Puresim veterans had a preference. Does any specific scale give more accurate results? Any specific comments?

Thanks, Ron

well, the broader the rating system, the more accurate the evaluation of the player. If you are using a 1-100 system you can say a player is an 87, where you would have to rate him as either an 8 or a 9 in the 1-10 system. That being said, csome people prefer the narrower ratings as it keeps players guessing a bit.

What I would love to see is the AI making decisions (rosters, playing time, and trades) based upon current/previous stats, not ratings. Should that ever come about I'd probably go to the 1-5 ratings for the league and have a ball.

Mate, it does - in fact, I suspect that the balance is too FAR towards current stats. [:)] So, play your 1-5 ratings league and have a ball!

ganguy, I agree with ClaymoreCut - if you're finding the game hard, play it on 1-100, as that's providing the most information for you to make decisions with.

However, if you're finding it too easy, you might enjoy cutting over to the 1-5, 1-8, 1-10, or 1-20 scales, as that makes it a bit harder to judge the relative merits of two players, and more difficult to spot who is improving.

what scale do you use these days? also do you still play the deadball era? Have a new XML for us? :)

Are you sure? I did not notice it in my league in my limited play thus far. Do stats only affect Roster Management/Play time or does the AI also consider it when trading or when moving players between the majors/minors?

Also, do previous year stas have any bearing on tha AI?

Thanks Amaroq! Welcome back!

I'm pretty sure - set up a test league, simulate through into June, and start watching the AI teams, especially with regards to call-ups/send-downs: I think their behavior is only 'sane' if you think they're looking at the stats.

I do think the AI considers it when trading; it is typically easier to pry a poor-performing player from the AI in July than it is to pry the same player away from them in April.

I don't *think* previous year stats have any bearing, but I don't know for sure.

You can get a sense of this by looking at the lines
DYNAMIC_TALENT_EVAL_CONSIDER
in the puresim.xml.

PS2005 (the only thing readily available to me at this very instant) had GM's move from 0/10 (no stats, all ratings) on Opening Day to 10/0 by the 62nd game of the season (all ratings, no stats). If '06 does the same thing, I think thats too much: I personally always give some weight to ratings, and I don't think I want the AI valuing a player batting .350 on 20 at-bats higher than a player batting .307 on 500 at-bats when its deciding who to start in the World Series...

I'm a new player, but I am playing with 1-5 scale. I'm enjoying not knowing for sure which players are better than others instantly.

I'll try playing around with it myself. Thanks!
