DylanBradbury Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I've made a MVP Baseball 2005 Defensive Rating Calculator (currently in BETA). However, I don't like it! I would appreciate algorithm ideas for the four defensive rating (fielding, range, throwing strength and accuracy). You can download the rating calculator here, and tell me what you think. I really would appreciate (constructive) help on this one guys and gals. Any formula ideas? EDIT: My main difficulty is adjusting for games. For example a player who plays one inning a season and makes no errors, and a player who plays 162 games and makes no errors, shouldn't be equal.

For example a player who plays one inning a season and makes no errors, and a player who plays 162 games and makes no errors, shouldn't be equal. If you don't have sample sizes from the minors that would help you generate a rating for them, you could do something based on VORP values.

DylanBradbury Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hey RaptorQuiz! Thanks for the response. Anyone else have any ideas? If any of the Total Classic Modders (or anyone else) has formulas for players' defensive ratings they used, and are willing to share with me, it would be much appreciated.

wikitundra Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Great utility!!! The "Holy Grail" is the Pitching Calculator. Thanks for all of your work on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowingsgo8803 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hey guys, Great idea, btw, it was much needed. But what's the highest ranking? I was fooling around and got 6/15/15/7. Shouldn't the highest be 10? Or 100 like in MVP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanBradbury Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hey guys, Great idea, btw, it was much needed. But what's the highest ranking? I was fooling around and got 6/15/15/7. Shouldn't the highest be 10? Or 100 like in MVP?The highest ranking is 15. In MVP, a lot of rankings are on 1-15 scale. Here is a chart to represent what the 1-15 scale is on the 1-100 scale. 15 = 100 14 = 95 13 = 90 12 = 85 11 = 80 10 = 75 09 = 70 08 = 65 07 = 60 06 = 55 05 = 50 04 = 40 03 = 30 02 = 20 01 = 10 00 = 00 And thank you so much for downloading, and enjoying it.

cococrispy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 This looks great! One problem though... I don't know why, but every time I put a pitcher in the calculator, the throwing accuracy is always 15! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gowingsgo8803 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Dylan, Sorry - I had read the ReadMe when I originally downloaded it, and finally got the chance today to fool around with it. Great stuff - MVP lacked this. With this, the defensive/pitchers/offensive calculators, MVP CAP's are set. Anyways, thanks for the mod, it looks awesome, I can't wait to put it to full use.

There have been times as well when I wrote a harsh review of something, only to found out later I was at fault. I just wish users could change their reviews... I hope you enjoy the ratings, and as time goes on, I'll try to improve the formulas! As well, If you'd like, write reviews for my other programs. Thanks again for downloading, and enjoy them to the max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikitundra, sorry for the late reply. I am so glad you enjoy them. For a nineteen-year-old who self-taught himself Visual Basic, and who made these programs originally for himself, it makes me so glad to hear other people like them Question though, is the "Holy Grail" my Pitching Stamina calculator, or a calculator for other pitching ratings? :S (If the latter, I'm trying) Thanks again for downloading, and if you wish don't forget to write a review.

I fixed the pitcher's throw accuracy formula! Your pitcher's fielding ratings should be more accurate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cococrispy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hey cococrispy! I fixed the pitcher's throw accuracy formula! Your pitcher's fielding ratings should be more accurate! Awesome! I will try it out tomorrow I can't wait until your pitching calculator is released! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanBradbury Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 [i can't wait until your pitching calculator is released! Haha! Hopefully, it will be released. It's taken me a long time to create a defensive calculator... But I do appreciate your anticipation, and don't forget to write a review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs0 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 this program is good i like it but one problem- i can't find any innings on minor players' stats under fielding section but major players' stats show innings under the fielding section- maybe i am wrong or any help? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyon810 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I just downloaded this a few days ago and liked it so much I got your other 3 ratings calculators. Problem with this one I found was finding out how many innings a guy played during the season, how are we suppose to find something like that out?

Next, scroll down to Fielding, the last column in the Fielding section is innings played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't find minor league inning data. I'll try to find a work around as soon as possible. I'll PM you when I do. Thanks for downloading!
