kgbaseball Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 So I was thinking to myself that it would be great to play MVP a couple years from now when Alex Gordon and Justin Upton are the game's biggest rising stars, and when Homer Bailey and Phil Hughes are annual Cy Young candidates. Basically there would be a roster mod where every minor league player was readjusted to simulate what a player's ratings would be like when they're in their prime playing in the MLB. It would allow us to "play in the future" as if every player reached their full potential. You could call it MVP 2012 or something and take out all the players currently playing that could be retired by then to make room for the players we could predict to be on the team years from now. Rating all those players would be pretty easy. You could use a simple formula based on age, potential, and current league to come up with ratings. Comparing players to players that play now could also be used in determining how good a player will be. Anyways, that's a cool little idea I just had. I doubt it'll ever happen, but I'd just like to know your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totte Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Not a bad idea at all KG I won't have the time to do it but it sounds cool :wtg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 That would be pretty sweet. Also you could simulate draft some college and high school players, but that might be a lot of work to create them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanaman Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Are you going to assume that every prospect lives up to their potential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlight_reel Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Easy solution for whoever wants to do this: Sim up to 2012, and release a roster set from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Easy solution for whoever wants to do this: Sim up to 2012, and release a roster set from there. That makes sense, but then you would have to deal with all the trades and stuff that take place in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 That makes sense, but then you would have to deal with all the trades and stuff that take place in-game. Yeah... but wouldn't trades and free-agent "defections" happen in real life as well? So it'd make sense if they were present in the roster. So after the simming, all you'd have to do is find the players you had targeted, and edit them if they hadn't developed in-game as you would expect them to in-life.

Or, you could just turn off trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Or, you could just turn off trades. That's another option. One I didn't think of at all. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynNets24 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Simming to 2012 may not be a good idea. I made a Dynasty thread that tooke place in 2010 and every rookie and youngin we have today will all be rated 95-99 and all pitchers would be throwing 98-101 mph fastballs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynNets24 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Exactly.The rosters wouldnt be realistic if we had John Lester and Josh Beckett throwing 102 MPH fastballs when Beckett cant even control his own fastball today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 I agree. While the "sim through 2012" idea sounded easy and the most logical, it's impossible to stop such progression which produces wildly inaccurate results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Interesting idea, but I wouldn't have much fun of it being the pessimist I am when it comes to baseball prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
