APBA GO Forums

The 1978 Yankees and 2000 Yankees split their six game series, keeping the '78 Yankees six games over .500 at 30-24 and the 2K Yankees two games over .500 at 43-41.

Despite 10 strikeouts from Ron Guidry, the 2K Yankees won Game One 3-1. Ed Figueroa helped even the series in Game Two with a one-hit shutout in a 8-0 win; Mickey Rivers was 3-4 with a three-run homerun, a stolen base, and two runs scored. The 2K Yankees won 3-1 again in Game Three, and the '78 Yankees evened the series again in Game Four with a 2-1 win; Reggie Jackson hit a two-out, two-run homerun in the 6th to give them the lead. The two teams continued to alternate wins with the 2K Yankees winning Game Five 9-3 and the '78 Yankees taking the last game 5-2. Bernie Williams was the star of Game Five, going 3-5 with a triple, homerun, and three RBI while Willie Randolph led the '78 Yankees in the final game by going 3-4 with a double, two stolen bases, two RBI, and two runs scored.

Reggie Jackson leads the '78 Yankees in hitting at .318 with 17 homeruns, 45 RBI, 44 runs scored, and a .989 OPS.Figueroa’s shutout adds on to a dominant start to his season; he is 9-1 with a 2.25 ERA. Guidry has struck out 101 batters in 94 1/3 innings. Goose Gossage picked up a couple of more saves to give him 19 for the season.

Derek Jeter continues to struggle as his average fell to .268, still best on the team. He did increase his runs scored total to 75. Roger Clemens won again; he is now 12-3 with a 3.08 ERA. Mariano Rivera notched two more saves to give him 22 with a 1.66 ERA. The 2K Yankees will battle the 34-26 1939 Yankees in the next series.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy win=10 pts., loss=5 pts.

Thank you! I appreciate the help.

@TSBL Yes! It would help if there was a pop-up notification or sound that indicated a grade change. It’s VERY easy to miss in the game text and the small pitcher’s “line”.

I’ve had very little success with Malcolm or Pedro. They both make very strange decisions. I often play with older seasons and none of the pitchers have the relief pitcher *. Even if I make all the starters unavailable, it doesn’t help. Malcolm is notorious for picking any random player, such as an outfielder, as a relief pitcher, even if that player doesn’t have a pitching grade. Pedro tends to leave starters in even when they are getting shelled, or will pull the starter early and let the reliever pitch 6 or 7 innings. I’ve had Pedro let a reliever give up 5 runs and not pull him. For now, I’ve given up on the auto-managers and continue to hope they get fixed one day.

Am just curious… when playing with a micro manager (which admittedly, I never do) do you not still have the pre-game option of clicking ‘thumbs down’ on players who are not eligible to play that day? (ie. other starting pitchers, tired relievers, injured players?). Because that’s a great solution whenever I’ve played solitaire games on Autoplay.

@fjs080850 Yes, we continue to make progress on developing the Master Game.

We hope to have it available for some game modes in Q4.

Thanks,

I had Carlton pitch a no hitter and lost in 10 inning 2-0 both unearned runs in top 10th he walked 6 but no hits

@APBA-GO-Jeremy
That works too. Thank you.

@wabillk Hi! The current iteration of APBA GO is based on the Basic game, and so there is no calculation to determine chance to steal. Stollen bases are determined primarily by the player’s card roll result values. My understanding is that when a card is created for a player by the Alpharetta team, some calculations are used but card values can be influenced by team performance in that season… so there is both statistics in play, and a bit of APBA magic.

In the Master Game, which we are currently developing, a more complex method of determining chance to steal is used.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Thank You!

@TSBL So right now the search is actually under the roster, and it does work, with minor display issues. But I was talking to the dev today and we agree it is not a great implementation (sometimes you can get stuck scrolling the roster instead of the page, so you never see the search). We’re going to keep working on it and will change it in the next few days.

Ok, thanks for the reply and update

Thanks Randy. I will try that.

Ok that’s great info! Thanks. The action bar issue will be resolved shortly.

Thanks again!
Jeremy
