WBL Rule Change Thread

[Mr. Radpants]

Tankee set all his players to 1 on the 250 scale to tank more efficiently.

Tankee set all his players to 1 on the 250 scale to tank more efficiently.

I love the mental image of this, makes me want to actually try it and see what happens

 

[Orlando]

I get what orlando is saying but i still think the 0-250 scale is skewed higher than mlb averages. Well the upper end, like i said earlier the 80 cut off ends at like 180 i think. So there is 70 points of ratings left

You won't see players go above that 180 really though. I think that's to give wiggle room for guys who want to make a robot league or something 2020 Super Baseball!

You obviously haven't played the game enough. Players go over 180 all of the time

 

[Yankee151]

Yea I see it happen too. Guarantee if you took the WBL or UBL files and had them show stats over 80 we'd get a few.

 

[Orlando]

Is it all the time or a few? Show me some 250s. Stop arguing with me and sim.

 

[Yankee151]

Someone get me some addy then

 

[OU11]

Is it all the time or a few? Show me some 250s. Stop arguing with me and sim.

Am simming, no 250s but I've had plenty of 180+ guys. I'm sure there are a few in the WBL too, Mercier has to be around 200

 

[Orlando]

Merc is 186. Of course some are going to go over, but it's not a regular occurance. Talent is limitless. Follow ur dreams!

 

[Orlando]

Merc is also 75 power at least according to my scout and OSA. So I'm not sure where the 80 mark is. My point is you aren't going to see guys need the max and that extra point structure is in place because people do all kinds of custom leagues.

 

[OU11]

This is what I was referring to. I bet we have 5-10 players with ratings over 180

180 may not be the exact value, the truth is with scouting variances we'll never know what the range for '75' and '80' is anyways.

 

[Orlando]

Yeah and I didn't speak in Yankee absolutes on propose.

This is true although I think Merc has a consensus.

 

[OU11]

If merc is a 186 then I'm sad Seoul has two 80s

 

[Yankee151]

Yeah and I didn't speak in Yankee absolutes on propose.

What are you trying to propose about my manner of speaking?

 

[Orlando]

You proposed it yourself.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Fwiw, my scout shows Mercier at 80 power. He also wasn't really keen on McHeshi, so I take his opinions with a grain assault.

His McHeshi report led to one of the silliest trade offers ever made, lol.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Stop looking at the back end of my players you cheats

 

[OU11]

Stop looking at the back end of my players you cheats

I didnt do it

 

[Orlando]

Stop looking at the back end of my players you cheats

He's got a nice back end

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I propose Tankee's team is demoted to AAA.

 

[Orlando]

I propose a soccer-like relegation league.

 

[Yankee151]

Bump up everyone's market to 20, force every team to have at least 1 100m/year contract

 

[Mr. Radpants]

5 likes I think it passes. Sorry for ur lots.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Has anyone else been wondering what realignment could look like? The North is just crazy. I have been trying to come up with an East/West alignment, but you fuckers in the Americas are making it tough.

I've got too much time on my hands this mroing thanks to the red flag on the beach.

 

[NML]

I'm biased cuz I'm in da souf - but the north has been really good the last two years, but three years ago the south was boss and the north was trash (KW got 4th in the south, would've won the WC in the north, Australia had 105 wins and Cairo had 90 for the two best records).

In addition, the gap between the two leagues closed this year - ERA went up in the north, down in the south, and south has the better league average offensively.

If it keeps up, we can look at a change, but we are three years into the league, let everything level off a bit.

What's the schedule set-up, btw? Playing tankee more than the south would alter the numbers, as well.

[Karl Hungus]

Yankee not tanking will probably make a difference.

 

[OU11]

It isnt changing but it is an interesting thought experiment

 

[NML]

Looks like you play errbody in ur division 14 times, other division 8. Six extra against yankee probably helps.

 

[NML]

Not that figs and wolf are having great seasons themselves

 

[NML]

Plus once gator gets control of Moscow they'll go down the shitter

 

[OU11]

Yeah the leagues will flip and flop. The SL has a ton of young talent coming up soon IIRC too, the north are more old hats.

 

[OU11]

You joke but that is usually what happens

 

[Orlando]

Looks like you play errbody in ur division 14 times, other division 8. Six extra against yankee probably helps.

Our games against the south help more than playing Yankee.

 

[NML]

Our games against the south help more than playing Yankee.

Seeing as ur 11-0 vs yankee and are 35-29 against the south, I'd say that's very wrong

 

[Orlando]

Don't bother me with these numbers during irrational shit talking.

 

[OU11]

South da worst, North da bess

 

[Orlando]

Yankee had a winning record vs a south team. North wins.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Where do you go to check out records vs. each team/division. I've found it before, but I can't remember my way there now.

Edit: Nevermind, I found it.

 

[doh]

I was going to post that I think it'd be cool if we did a random draw about who is in who's league every year. Or a draft.

Draft idea: Two WS teams get to draft the teams in their league.

The way it's set up now is actually kinda boring IMO.

 

[OU11]

I can't see any issues with moving teams and leagues around in a game with bugs in it.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Why is it boring?

I've got my interleague rival in OU/Amsterdam, and I've got my intraleague rival in Wolf/Kabul/Tehran.

 

[doh]

The divisions are arbitrary. They don't mean anything they're just eight random teams together.

 

[OU11]

Not quite. We kept a lot of the old hats in the north because of our previous UBL rivalries, and the South were more new guys/guys that picked extremely southern teams.

And there were some teams that moved, made more sense geographically before.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

I'm okay with the leagues the way they are. The North is clearly better and has more overall talent, but the South is slowly creeping back into the mix.

 

[OU11]

We will go through waves where one will be better than the other. Doh hates it because he is always stuck with good teams. He wanted to leave the WNW in the UBL because BC was too tough, I'm sure I scare him now. I'm going to disperse my talent this off season though so he won't need to worry for long

 

[Yankee151]

I need at least OU, Doh, Orlando and Rad in my league, figure it out from there. Give me JD too.

 

[doh]

I'm fine either way I just think it'd be fun to do a draft or randomize divisions or something
