It's pretty realistic. Some guys will never achieve their potential no matter what, once in a while you get a 2* Potential guy who has a few years where he puts up MVP/Cy Young numbers. The most important thing with developing talent in my opinion is to not rush players. Some guys needs to stay in Rookie/A/A+ ball a few years until moving them up into AA/AAA. I really like to draft guys with high work ethic and intelligence ratings as that seems to reduce the volatility in my opinion, but everyone has their preferred qualities in players.

I go by rating, as soon as they are 75, they are in AAA, 72 AA, 69 A, and lower in Rookie.

I am in a baseball simulation league that uses DMB.

This happened yesterday (I'm Tokyo, ignore how terrible my lineup is, I fell out of it very early and sold to stock draft picks for next year)

And in true BBM fashion (and mirroring real life, I suppose), Hoyt fell apart and was done within like four seasons, I believe.


You can turn off that feature. Basically BBM will mirror what the player did in his career rather than random variables, but you can tell the game not to.

well, historical sims aren't that accurate to start I guess because there are non-whites playing in MLB.

Also, I was able to hire Ty Cobb as my bench coach for the Cardinals, while he was still playing for the Tigers. :toot:

In BBM there is a setting you have to turn off or the years more often than not look pretty accurate.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'll start up a sim starting in 2011, and let it sim for a looooong time (once I ran it out to the year 2500), but few records will fall; like Bonds stays that season and career home run leader, Pete Rose stays hit leader, Nolan Ryan with strikeouts, etc. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing, however, in BBM you can go into league or simulation manager and adjust options.

I ran a simulation from 1901 to 2025.

Alfredo Aceves had a year where he went 12-4, 214IP, 244K, 18BB, .80 ERA and had another season with an .82 ERA.

McGwire had 970 homers, Richard Hidalgo ended with 890.

Mussina ended with 429 wins, wow.

Hey guys, I'm in a simulation league that's about to start up. We don't use OOTP (We use Diamond Mind Baseball) and I'm having a problem deciding which park to pick as my "Home Park".

It's a 12-team, 30-man roster, NL only league. We haven't drafted yet, but my team is pretty much set. Here's my position players:
C: Carlos Ruiz
1B: Freddie Freeman/Paul Goldschmidt
2B: Chase Utley
3B: David Freese
SS: Starlin Castro
LF: OPEN (need to draft one)
CF: Andrew McCutchen
RF: Giancarlo Stanton

Should I try to enhance the power I have in the lineup by playing my home games in Great American or Miller?

And the Starting rotation:
Stephen Strasburg
Kyle Lohse
Ross Detwiler
Lance Lynn
Jeff Karstens

Or, since I don't have a great rotation, should I play somewhere like PNC or AT&T to help my pitching?

Or does it not loving matter at all and I should just play somewhere cool?

If you throw that rotation in GAB or Miller you'll get crushed. I play in a DMB league and you build your team to your park.

For example, in my league, I use 1985 Three Rivers Stadium as my home park. It's +130 for LHR and +80 for RHR. However, it's +120 for R2B and only +100 for L2B. So my lineup is set for lefty homer power and righties double power.

Pitching wise, DMB loves homers and absolutely LOVES matchups. You have a bunch of righties, so I'd find a park that plusses righty homers and suppresses lefty homers.


E: And it matters, dear god it matters. If you need any more info, just ask questions in the thread. Tavarin plays in the same league as I do and he can help answer questions.

Wrigley - 86 LHR, 107 RHR
Fenway - 80 LHR, 115 RHR

I'll look at a few more when I get to work.

And yeah, basically make sure you're looking at stats and if you're not in the top 10% for the IRL league, odds are that skill won't be great in the DMB league.

E: Take Fenway if you can, in our league someone is using 1955 Fenway, it owns.

code:
Hand    1b   2b   3b   HR
Left    110  150  129  144
Right   120  168  125  165

Manager options gives you this:


Which might be what you're looking for? The downside is that you're giving those powers to your manager and not someone else in the organization (as you are the GM) so they might make terrible decisions.

I actually play the opposite way and let the AI handle lineups and stuff while I only do the GM stuff. Sometimes I have to step in an mandate that some guys are used a certain way but mostly I stay hands off.

That's what I'm doing, but I thought it'd be cool to work my way up as a pure manager.
