XCom -> MVP selection bug? (11/19/2006 7:46:05 AM)

I've played many a test season while tweaking my XML file to give me stats I really like (the tweaks have been minor, the stats for a fictional league right of the box are very good). One thing I have noticed, and I know at least one other person on this board has noted the same thing, the MVP award always goes to the player with the most RBIs regardless of the rest of his stats or his team's place in the standings. I know that motnahp, who is running the "No Free Agency, No DH" series, has seen this same thing over the course of his 25 seasons. Many seasons it's not conspicuous because the player with the most RBIs does deserve the award. But there are seasons like the one I simmed tonight where this happens:

MVP winner:
.265, 24 HRs, 118 RBIs, team finished 5th of 6 teams in division

Others:
.341, 31, 117, team 2nd of 6
.296, 31, 116, team 1st of 6
.312, 31, 101, team 4th of 6

I see less blatant examples all the time, but this one made me speak up on this tonight. [;)] Now, the Best Pitcher award seems to vary based on differing criteria...not always top ERA, not always most wins...so the code there seems good. Is there are problem with the MVP selection code?

Has anyone else seen this come up? I'm currently running patch 1.31.

You are totally right, it *was* putting too much influence on RBI.

I just fixed that, thanks.

Thanks, Shaun. As always your response on bugs is second to none!

Just wanted to follow up on this topic and show that the MVP tweak in 1.41 is working wonders. In my last test season I had this result:

MVP winner
Ronald Rogers - .302, 28 HR, 104 RBI -- team finished first in division

Non-winner
Charles Queen - .298, 47 HR, 142 RBI -- team finished third in division

Maybe we would never see this result in MLB [X(], but I for one appreciate the team finish factored into the MVP result.

Shaun, thanks for looking into this MVP thing. In my most recent assn., the RBI leader won the MVP 25 out of 25 times. Glad to see you back and active on the board. Does it look like we may get an official (non-Beta) release under the tree this year?[;)]
