Cash #25 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I was hitting against the Yanks' Bob Turley and several times he threw an amazing pitch. The thing momentarily disappeared, then appeared to roll up to the plate. Meanwhile the ball cursor appeared within the strike zone and the umpire called it a strike. I didn't take note of what kind of pitch caused this, but I did go into player edit and discovered he has a changeup with a velocity of 3 mph. Not entirely sure this is what caused the strange pitch action, but it's my best guess. Y'all should probably check your ratings for Turley.......BEFORE trying to hit him. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I have had that happen when I edited a pitcher in MVPedit. I think when nothing is put in the box for velocity, the game makes it up. Did you ever get a hit? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsMS_35 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 How did he reach the plate throwing 3 mph? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69Yanks Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I had the same thing. Had alot of wild pitches with this stealth change up too. Changed the speed to 60mph and all if fine. Also changed his double old time windup because it threw me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hey Guys, Thanks for the insight. Absolute ERROR on my part. Turley has 5 pitches and when I added that ChangeUP I must have finger checked on the velocity and never noticed. His velocity for his changeup, according to my formulas, should be "73". But isn't it great how the game actually performs precisely as you build a particular player. Sorry for the mistake but hope you are enjoying your *61 Season. Thanks, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Oh ! and for his double pumping Windup you might want to switch his delivery from "Classic 3" to "Weber, Ben" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I also switched Ed Hobaugh on the Senators from Classic 3 delivery to Ben Weber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I'm enjoying your '61 season. I'm through 86 games with my Dodgers leading the Reds by 6.5 games. the Yanks lead the Orioles by 2.5 games. When will the '67 season be finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hi 112155, Glad to hear you are leading the Dodgers to the National League Pennant. Would like to hear some of your stats. The 1967 Rosters will probably be completed by the end of this month. But in order to release a full Season Mod it would take a whole lot of effort on others part besides just me. No one has really held their hand up stating they would like to provide the Portraits, Uniforms, Theme Screens, Season Schedule, Music etc etc etc. Regardless if we make a Full Season Mod of 1967 like we did with *61 (which I think was just a beautiful thing to behold - Thanks to Sandman & Hory mainly) or not - I will likely release the Roster Set stand alone with perhaps a 1967 models.big file to accompany it for cyberface assignments and such. Then it would be onto the 1964 Rosters followed by the 1969 Season. Thanks Again & any sharing of your *61 Season Highlights/Stats would be greatly appreciated. I have really enjoyed following 69Yanks Season. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkslide820 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 His velocity for his changeup, according to my formulas, should be "73". As someone interested in making old-time pitchers, I'd like to know what formulas you use to get pitchers' velocities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi Darkslide820, The formula for a pitchers velocity within MVPEdit is actually based on his strikeout ratio. This was about the best assumption we could come up with. Then that ratio is adjusted and applied within the span of the range of speeds for the different pitch types. Obviously this method is far from being accurrate but with the given stats we had to work with it at the time that was basically the best we could come up with. The actual formula went something like this: IPouts / 3 = IP K / IP = %KPI RoS * %KPI + PTSS = Velocity for Each Pitch IPouts = Individual Pitched Outs IP = Innings Pitched K = Strikeouts %KPI = Percentage of K's Per Inning RoS = Range of Speed (different for each pitch type within the game) PTSS = Pitch Type Slowest Speed (also different for each pitch type) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkslide820 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Sounds nice. But I don't think you need the first line, because IP is almost always given for a pitcher. You could skip IPouts/3=IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 In the Lahman Data Base it only provided Individual Pitched Outs and not Innings Pitched ....... that is the reason for the first line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
