In total, the team defense averages 38.54: 31.86 in the infield and 6.69 in the outfield. I then wanted to tackle the passing numbers (10-15), but I noticed a pattern. Version 5.5 loads from the new-style Baseball Reference site.Version 5.4 will display all the cards for your "Selected Players" list.
Three of the group (yet again Laird, Arias and Barmes) did not hit any triples or homers.
So is there any rhyme or reason to who gets this combo.Let’s first take a look to see who has it. Not going to find too many 19-Ms out there:One thing to note here is that even though the average grade is an 8 as mentioned earlier, the midpoint of the grades is pretty much between 8 and 9, as the weight of the bad numbers (especially the W) drive the relative grade (assigned grade plus subrating effects) does bring it down a bit.I enjoyed this study! Although it is grade-dependent, it basically is a bonus bump on your grade, while a W is probably worth up to a penalty of 4 points in the mid range and 2 at the extremes. After determining ratings, convert to an APBA dice roll. Well sure you can.
1920-1929 Baseball Seasons. Makes me wonder if there is a little bit of an issue with the baseline I am using where the hits may have been a little low. It’s not realistic for any APBA baseball player to hit their real life average when in a say, 10-team league. Keep in mind that this is by no means an accurate “formula” or some such. The first article will go over the top and bottom of the card, i.e.
So instead of a formula, I’ll throw in another chart:One of the things we can do with this data is to find out what a ‘Z’ is worth. Here are a few:This is a lot to chew off in one article, so we’ll go over how to make the actual card for the skater in In my opinion, one of the weaknesses in the APBA Hockey game is the penalty system. So we’ll remove Laird, Arias and Barmes from the equation, and move on to the “Frustrating 14”.Hypothesis #7: Let’s revisit #5 since the three removed were the outliers in Hypothesis #5. There was a recent thread on the APBA Baseball Facebook page about the 1968 reissue set, namely that Bob Gibson no longer has a Z.
Makes you wonder if something else is at play.Since it’s pretty difficult to give a set formula due to the vagaries of what grade the pitcher is for both the run and home run differences, I’ll just present a chart:With walks, the computer game does not have capacity for the ZZ, although it is unknown if the 5.75 update has added them (there are no 2012 pitchers rated ZZ to check). Home > APBA Baseball > Cards and Accessories > Baseball Card Sets > Baseball Season Card Sets. Below is a “quick and dirty” way of estimating what that card’s batting average will be under normal conditions. For the outfielders, the sum of the OF divided by 3 is presented, as I had no way to isolate the simulations to just use a certain rating in one of the three fields:There are only two positions where the replay average is below the theoretical average: third base (by a lot) and leftfield (by a little). Trying to re-create but am having trouble figuring the mathWhy do mostly all players have just 1 homerun chance at 66? One thing I begin to notice was a red However, on a swap, you would expect the now much lower counts of It looks like 24 and 26 became more popular destinations, although their increased presence is more than overshadowed by the Before wrapping up, I just thought I would mention one other curiosity, that even though the play numbers of The #8 combination in 2014 disappears entirely, and #3 is barely used in 2015. I know what you’re thinking… 7s are out sometimes, right? Since the per 36 PA seems to give a better indication of what is going on and is likely used by APBA, I will be using those when describing the subratings. So we have 14 players who have no double column singles for those players who have a double column.
Oddly, they all throw right, but that is likely a coincidence.Hypothesis #5: They have no second-column singles. When it comes to assists (like errors, runs and hits), the centerfielder has the least influence of the three spots, with the rightfielder having the most. A little surprising is that the cliff between those positions where -2 away from the norm (e.g. Push your management skills to the limit. You’re just itchin’ to tell me how off I am, right? On each card are the results for that dice roll for a few of the more common board lookups. The real-life rate for 2012 was only 74%. However, when I got the 2014 Olympic set, I would have to use the shootout, because that’s what the Olympics did. At some recent point, APBA has changed that philosophy and started using plate appearance as the denominator. And we’re better drafters than the MLB general managers, too. All of the stats you will need were listed in the previous post.In my previous article, I tried to figure out the method APBA uses to calculate the penalty numbers on the hockey cards.
