  1. Re: A rant, and why I'm done with this franchise

    Clay, good to hear you are having enough success to hire help.

    Re: Just Disappointing

    What seems to happen every year with Mogul is that Clay keeps making changes (based on testing) right up to the relaease date. And every change carries a signficant risk of breaking something. That's...

    Re: 16.00 Relievers all stink

    This is an old bug I don't think I've seen posted; I don't have '14, so I suggest someone who does should document this with a screen shot.

    Re: Transferrring files

    If you are using Mogul '13, I think there are two files to copy, the .mog file and the .pit file. So, for example I save my games under something like KCR 1998a (Kansas City, 1988 season, mid-season)...

    Re: Ratings proposal -- exponential smoothing

    For the purposes of talent dispersion and perhaps other reasons, the old-style Current Rating would still be there; it just wouldn't be visible without going into Commissioner mode. That's basically...

    Ratings proposal -- exponential smoothing

    I want to say that I don't think we need to hide or replace Peak Ratings -- these rating go up and down and actual career performance varies a lot (with normal, out-of-the-box settings) so I think...

    Re: Seaver wins 600+ games!!!

    Mike Hargrove batted .433 one year for the Rangers -- I didn't notice until a decade or so later, since I was running the Royals. He had a solid Hall of Fame career, very high on the all-time BA list...
  8. Re: Fixing Baseball Mogul: A Post from Clay (The Creator)

    I play with Perfect Scouting and Equalized Farm and Medical, so I can't get an edge on the AI with magic pixie dust. And the AI seems to demand reasonable value for trades -- you can't trade a bunch...

    Re: Newbie questions

    The most significant change between the 2009 and 2011 versions relates to the hyperinflation of ratings. After you've played a year or two, check out the ratings of other teams. You may find that...

    Re: Not seeing changed defensive values

    The ratings on the player card are often quite misleading. They seem to be a combination of the maximum value at any position -- so, the arm rating for a second baseman may be accurate only for short...

    Re: Setting your lineup

    Time for a quick reminder about chance variation: 95% of players with a true skill projecting a .275 batting average will, in 400 at bats, hit somewhere between .231 and .319. One player in 40 will...

    Runner on second, grounder to short

    In play-by-play mode, I see a lot of runners from second (with first base empty)tagged out at third on grounders to short. I rarely see the base-runner advance on such grounders. First, should this...

    Re: Smooth out player devolopment

    I don't see this at all. I keep my minors pretty much sorted by overall, sim a few games, and scan for changes. It's easy to spot a 66 down in "R" ball among the 40's, so I catch most changes in...

    Re: Quick Play "At Bat"

    Libradawg, basically the only reason I use Manager mode is to rotate/rest players and use under-used bullpenners.
  15. Re: [15.07] AI ability to put players at right league level seems worse than ever

    What's weird is that sometimes players with lower ratings do break into the majors. But the basic problem is that the AI appears to use age as the primary basis for sorting. I pretty much ignore age...
  16. Re: How do I change teams in a solitaire career?

    I've run as many as six teams at once, so you don't even have to give up your super team if you like, or you can take on a team in each league, etc. Only oddity is during the Amateur draft, it keeps...

    Re: Quick Play "At Bat"

    What I meant was, if we had the option to kill the graphics, every AB would be "instant results." Your suggestion is simply another way to accomplish the same thing. There's already a "Quick Play"...
  18. Re: Regarding new "physics" in BBM13 vs Old School PBP

    In introductory stats courses, students learn a basic rule of thumb about estimating proportions from a sample: your margin of error is about 1/sqrt(n), where n is your sample size. So, for a sample...
  19. Re: Regarding new "physics" in BBM13 vs Old School PBP

    To quote The Book: Playing the percentages in Baseball, page 163, you need about 2000 plate appearances against lefty pitchers to estimate a RHB's platoon split, and about 1000 to estimate LHB vs....
  20. Re: Basic MLB roster management improvements...in the works?

    As I understand it, OOTP has all that, but takes far longer to learn and play. The trick for Mogul would be to implement those things without bogging the game down, and modifying the AI to cope with...

    Re: Quick Play "At Bat"

    Sounds basically the same as turning off the graphics, and doing one-pitch text-only mode. That's been requested several times.

    Overall ratings, peaks, ratings within a range (rather than "at least" or "at most") and a check-box to exclude rookies ineligible to be traded. I don't always want the youngest/fastest/best...

    Re: Is there ANY way to limit stolen bases against?

    Some suggestions: Turn on commissioner mode and check Phillip's arm rating. Maybe he's a 67. Also, try bumping the Pitchout Strategy Slider all the way up. Those sliders aren't supposed to affect PBP...

    What version of Mogul are you playing and what year (current, or historical?) Mogul varies bullpen usage by era; it would be nice to have some control over that sort of thing. Per Wikipedia, John...

    Re: Questions for the experts

    I generally try to trade away 23-year olds in the off-season if they're not ready for the big time. The AI will no longer allow you to trade current rating for peak, but you can still trade for a...
