I don't remember what all the mood columns mean but I remember for the Inf column, fire means they're on a hot streak, snowflake means they're on a cold streak, and a red cross means they're out with an injury.

Transactions, Team, Performance, Role, Chemistry, Morale Whether he seems as integral to the system or being shopped, how the team is doing, how he's doing personally, if he's cool with his position and level and playing time, how he feels he and the team are getting along, and overall outlook.

So sorry, a little explanation of the columns: INF: That's their "status information" - it will show if a player is on a hot streak (flame), cold streak (snowflake), or injured (red cross). This influences their mood. TXN: Team transactions - This shows if a player is happy or angry about moves the team as a whole is making, like acquiring new big players, or screwing over players by cutting them or demoting them. PERF: Performance - Is a player doing well? If they are, they get happy. If not, they get sad. Their personality influences this quite a bit. This transcends hot/cold streaks. ROLE: Role on the team - Players have expectations about their role on the team, wanting to start, hit in the middle of the lineup, etc. If they don't feel they're getting their just due, they get mad. CHEM: Chemistry - Team personalities are influenced by the players on the team. Some people are toxic and bring everyone down, while others are lovable pranksters or leaders that pump everyone up. MOR: Morale - This is the aggregate of the above. Morale has a significant impact on performance, so it shouldn't be completely ignored. One weird thing to note - Sir Plusse is currently the only goon on a hot streak. He's also the goon most angry about his performance

Average Lettuce posted:drat, seems like Jose Alface is not having a good time I'm gonna restrict everyone to one player at a time for now - but I might do another "generation" of goons depending on their relative success and my mood. I might also think of some fun new restrictions or criteria - like maybe a "fail marathon" where I make everyone terrible, and sim through seasons quickly to see if ANYONE makes it. I do also plan on turning goons into coaches when they retire. Last time a few did quite well as managers despite being worthless in the MLB! CptWedgie posted:How is he performing right now, anyway? I mean, he's obviously getting better, or his ratings wouldn't've improved; question is, how much better is his pitching? Is he improving his cutter and/or fastball, or focusing on learning more pitches? Let's have a look!  Here's Sir Plusse's pitches as of right now. Looks like he's doing an excellent job starting to realize his potential - very few of the potentials have decreased much, but the overall (real) ratings have improved! I'd be happy if I were him, but he's an ingrate it seems! If he really can end up with five serviceable pitches, he'll be a threat. Nissin Cup Nudist posted:The most unrealistic thing is the ChiSox spending 13 million on the #15 pick  It looks like Biggus Dickus is still mostly relying on his fastball, without much development of his knuckler . Knuckleballers are really strange and I don't know how well OOTP23 simulates them, so he's very much an experiment for all of us.His movement remains insane - it's a shame he doesn't have a curveball or he'd have a real nasty curve. That slider must be brutal when he can throw it. Finishing 2023 shortly, so I can start making batch 3 of generation 1!

2023 Season and Offseason! (pt 2) We left off just before the end of the 2023 season, so let's sim through it and catch up on how our goons' first full season went! Should be quick.  The game takes a moment to remind us why Barry Bonds was a truly unique player, and his record will probably never be broken.  The 2023 Season ends with some predictable outcomes - the Dodgers once again win 100 games (snore), the reigning champion Mets take their division - and somehow, the Angels make it to the playoffs??? Will Shohei Otani actually sniff victory with such a terrible franchise? Will they pay him the absurd sums to keep him around afterwards? Let's find out! Your 2023 World Series Champions are....  The... Arizona Diamondbacks!? Crushing Seattle's dreams? Oh my. It looks like Arizona won behind the bats of Alek Thomas (a real life rookie), Carson Kelly, and Ketel Marte, with a pitching staff anchored around Zach Gallen and Edwin Uceta. It looks like a very "2010's Giants" type of team, with few standouts but a bunch of solid, overperforming players. And 13 years after his first ring, Madison Bumgarner gets his fourth  . The Goons are coming to shatter these records. With the season over, the MLB announces the Cy Young and MVP awards. For non-baseball folks, the Cy Young is the award for the best pitcher in each league, while the MVP is the best overall player (it can be a pitcher as well): NL MVP: Fernando Tatis Jr. (San Diego) AL MVP: Bo Bichette (Toronto) NL Cy Young: Edwin Uceta (Arizona) AL Cy Young: Gerrit Cole (NY Yankees) That's two in a row for Cole! The offseason sees many players enter free agency and make the big bucks. Probably the most anticipated free agent is that of Shohei Ohtani - but alas, I missed this equally boring and disappointing news:  Ohtani, the only successful two-way player in 100 years, and kicking rear end at both pitching and hitting, signed an extension with the angels last year. I'm a bit disappointed he didn't get some insane payday, but maybe OOTP23 can't capture just how unique - and good, he truly is. 2023 turns into 2024, as the 2024 Hall of Fame class is announced:  Gary Sheffield drops off the ballot but 13% away from induction, having been voted on for 10 years straight. Newbies include Adrian Beltre, Joe Mauer, and everyone's favorite jolly pitcher Bartolo Colon. Beltran, Beltre, Helton will probably make it in eventually (though Helton's running out of time), but the rest will probably languish in the middle. But let's have a look at how 2023 treated our goons. Our first batch of goons had a full year to develop in the rookie leagues/single A, while our second batch may have dipped their feet in the water a bit as well: Sorted by Potential  Sorted by Overall   Billy Dee now reigns as the top rated potential goon at 80, with Mr. Panda apparently thriving at the University of Albany. In terms of realized potential, AJ Kalan and Sir Plusse have both now crept up into the 30's, with their overall ratings standing at 31. Remember that it is important to actually get your overall ratings up, in order to get promoted and play in the majors. You might also notice more of you have made it to Single A - and a few even to A+. You're getting there! After A+ is AA, then AAA, then the bigs! I can also show you some stats of how the goons have done in their minor league performances. This is a bit tough because some of you have bounced around the minors between different levels, or skipped levels entirely. So I'm going to show a random sample, but be aware it may not be that indicative or inclusive: Rookie Leagues Batting   Rookie Leagues Pitching  Single A/A+ Batting  Single A/A+ Pitching  Most of these are small sample size against an extremely variable set of opponents/quality, but some observations: A.J. Kalan absolutely tore up the rookie leagues, definitely earning that promotion. And showing off that speed with 25 steals! My boy Josef Stalin is very much.... not doing well  All our pitching goons are thriving in the rookie leagues, with Plusse, like Kalan, earning that promotion. Only Antoni Kemping has much of a sample to get excited about in Single A, but he seems to just being doing alright. Oh, but that made me realize his potential had dropped precipitously to 30, and he struck out almost 150 times! Oh no.... what happened!!? He was the first overall pick in 2022, now he's looking like a bit of a dud .So ends 2023 - hopefully 2024 will see our goons continue their march toward the majors - and a new batch of a dozen or so start nipping at their heels!

He's pretty average, with slightly below average work ethic (could be a problem), but he's very adaptable and handles the ups and downs of development very well. The game is kind of opaque about what some of these things do, with adaptability being one of the more opaque personality traits. Will make some more goons in a little bit!

Monathin posted:Name: Kazuki Saito Kazuki Saito    Kazuki Saito was living the Japanese dream - he worked part time at the local 7-11, played visual novels in his free time, and was the epitome of a NEET. The greatest mistake he ever made was accepting an invitation from a friend to go play some baseball for the local amateur team - he'd recently binged Ace of Diamond and wanted to see if baseball was as fun as the anime made it look. By sheer coincidence, the University of Alabama baseball team's coach was visiting Sapporo and took notice of Saito's raw talents - and before he knew it, he was living in beautiful Tuscaloosa, Alabama, pressured by friends and family to abandon his NEET lifestyle for the big leagues. Saito definitely came out all around as you wanted - though he profiles as a slightly better contact hitter than power. He might suffer a bit in defense and end up as a first baseman depending on how his skills eventually shake out, but he's definitely one worth watching! Gerblederp posted:Hell yeah this rules, I'll add one to the pile. Tim McCracken    Tim "Dr. Hook" McCracken is no slouch, and he exemplifies the hard working, no-nonsense attitude of the proud people of Canada. Tim claims to be from "Sasketchewan", a mythical land said to lie to civilization's North and West, though thus far no other players have corroborated its existence. What they can vouch for is Tim's arm - he has an absolute CANNON, easily the best infield arm of any of the other goons. Combined with his solid but unspectacular batting stats, and absurd work ethic, Tim has a good shot at being a serviceable third baseman in the majors.  Look at that work ethic. Tim is all about the grindset. rickiep00h posted:Name: Zell Dincht Zell "Hotdog" Dincht    Zell "Hot Dog" Dincht has come a long way - spending most of his youth in juvenile detention for a series of failed but violent Youtube pranks, Dincht has found a new life in baseball. Always finding new ways to entertain and make his fellow players laugh, Dincht is a joy to have in the clubhouse - but his impulsive, silly ways occasionally rub others the wrong way, attracting controversy. Talent-wise, Zell is pretty balanced in the way of hitting, with some work to be done in the fields of baserunning and fielding. But with his insane work ethic and magnetic personality, I have faith in Zell!  Look at this guy - he's got the hustle, the controversy, and gives absolutely no fucks about the haters. Vibing his way to success. Ammat The Ankh posted:Oh gently caress yeah we're doing this again Prince Vegeta    Prince "The Prince of All Saiyans" Vegeta arrived at the scouting meetings complaining loudly, demanding treatment worth of his station. Claiming to be a "Prince of the Saiyans," Vegeta treats others as peasants and lower than him, particularly Actually Goku, who he regards as a fellow Saiyan and his "rightful subject". Naturally talented but clearly entitled, Vegeta will need to overcome his poor personality to achieve greatness.  And greatness is definitely within his grasp - he has in his arsenal four excellent pitches, particularly a fastball which regularly reaches 100+ miles per hour. His biggest weakness is his control - his impulsive, hotheaded nature often sees him miss the strike zone. He also is somewhat lacking in stamina, which may result in him being converted to a closer or reliever in the future. Admiral Joeslop posted:Name: Howard Duck Howard Duck    Don't let Howard "Iron Duck" Duck's diminutive size fool you - this guy (duck?) is talented, and looks to be one of the best pure hitters of the first generation. He's an excellent fielder too! His biggest problem is discipline - when things don't go his way he tends to become extremely irate, and as a result, will likely strike out or miss opportunities at the plate. As the game says he doesn't hang his head in slumps or losses - he is furiously attacking, berating, and violently threatening any and all who might listen.  Gotta have adaptability to be a duck in a man's world. Namtab posted:Name: Actually Goku Note: I rolled a 19/20 for both Goku and Vegeta, so I'm really, really happy they they get to be roughly equal. Also, it randomly gave Goku Nagoya as his hometown as well... Actually Goku    Actually Goku arrived at the same scouting camp as Prince Vegeta - and the two quickly developed a rivalry, though largely one sided. Goku is a simple man - he hits the ball hard, and far, can run very quickly, and rarely makes any mistakes. This is in contrast to his hot-headed "Prince," who found himself constantly being compared to Goku - with the caveat that Goku is, ever so slightly, higher rated.  Goku is a simple man. He NEVER lets failure get him down. But he's also basically Forrest Gump in terms of intelligence. (game is sentient) That's all for now, but will do another handful later tonight!
