pstrickert Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 How many of you plan to use this tool? Is it helpful? For those who've used it, have you had any surprises? (E.g., How have Prospect Creator ratings differed from EA's original ratings?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastasports1 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 After I calculated and input all of the ratings for the PawSox lineup, I found that they were a bit on the high side, but excellent overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbmagicfan Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 No. I work in Excel. I don't even know what a .gui is. GH gui is graphic interface to make it newbie friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GForce22 Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 gui is graphic interface to make it newbie friendly. No idea how to do that. If, once I decide I've done a final version, another programmer wants to make it a .gui, they're welcome to do so. GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastasports1 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Can you give an example or two of who was high? GH Hmm...this might be just because of a comparison with my ratings I used previously, but Simon Pond had better v. R ratings then Bellhorn. But the more and more I look at it, and think about it, the better they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the splits are: Pond: VS L 53/48, VS R 71/64 Bellhorn: VS L 70/68, VS R 70/68 This is without doing the major league split adjustment noted earlier in the thread for Bellhorn. Doing that, he's VS L: 66/61 VS R: 78/84 GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToiletofSadness Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 gui is graphic interface to make it newbie friendly. What would be the point of making this a seperate program? It would undoubtedly look just like what you have now, a big spreadsheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smart88 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 it would look the same, but the only mistake you can make is inserting stats. But I also made it so you don't have to keep checking the number of the league, but I won't finish it anyways, so forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToiletofSadness Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 It would be trivial to do a full fledged program, but with some extra Excel work, you could prevent blanking out the formulas by locking the proper cells. The other thing you could do is to write some VBA code wrapped around the Excel sheet/formulas. This would give you a nice windows form, while still keeping the bulk of GForce's work. (not completely porting over all the formuals in work into a new format). If there was a real clamor to do something like this, I suppose I could crank it out over a weekend.

smart88 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 hey Geforce, are you gonna make it so we can enter stats for japanese players, mexican league players, etc..., or is there a way to already do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camulos Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 This sheet is great Gforce. Most of the ratings for the Red Sox minor leagues are coming out right where I envisioned them. Any ETA on the sheet for the pitchers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No plan to do so. Don't have league totals and the formulas would have to be adjusted to get them in line with American baseball...not something I have any interest in.

GForce22 Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 You only enter 0 for the year they were at the major league level, and only if they were older than 26 at the time. GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GForce22 Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 My main observations so far as for possible changes: -- The Baserunning rating, which is obviously hard to measure, is something I'm not sure I'm happy with. I don't have much to rate it with, so the best bet may just be urging users to adjust the rating with scouting report info that may be provided. But this is another area where a few ratings points difference really equals no difference at all. -- I also want to see if I can come up with a variance for hot and cold zones...as is, it's done so everyone gets 6 colored zones and 3 grays. Frankly, I like more grays...I think the ratings should do the bulk of the work, but at the same time I think the zones are necessary to make pitching to different hitters feel different. So I want to try and find a balance here. GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also agree with you in regards to the hot/cold zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KySteveH Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Question: So I have a player who has played only one year, say in 2004. So I would enter his real '04 stats and age in the "04" row. Then I would enter his '04 stats in the other two rows also, but change these two rows to a "MOD" value of "0"? Or would a change all three "MOD" values to "0". Then, what if I have a player who has played two years (03 and 04). What should a copy into the '02 section? His '03 stats? His '04 stats? Just wondering how you guys using this were handling these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
