Fix supposedly went in today - let us know.

For the fifth straight time, the 2000 Yankees split another six game series, this one with the 1937 Yankees. The '37 Yankees stayed 14 games over .500 at 49-35 while the 2K Yankees remain two games over at 49-47.

This was a fun offensive series. Joe Dimaggio kicked things off for the '37 Yankees in Game One with a 3-6, double, homerun, and four RBI performance in a 16-7 shootout. Bernie Williams hit two dingers in a losing cause; he would be far from done. Williams hit two more homeruns in Game Two, his second a two-run blast to give the 2K Yankees a 5-4 lead in the 8th inning. Tino Martinez added another two-run tater for a 7-4 win. The 2K Yankees won the lowest scoring game in Game Three 4-3 then took a 3-1 lead in the series with a thriller in Game Four. The '37 Yankees jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the 1st. The 2K Yankees came back and took a 5-4 lead in the 7th when Williams struck again with a two-run homer. The '37 Yankees came right back in the bottom of the inning when Dimaggio hit a two-run homer of his won to retake the lead 6-5. The '37 Yankees could not close the win as Derek Jeter ambushed Johnny Murphy in the 9th with a solo homerun to tie the game, and David Justice added a two-run blast to give the 2K Yankees an 8-6 win. The '37 Yankees managed a split by winning the last two games 6-3 and 11-8. Dimaggio went 2-4 with two homeruns and five RBI in the final game while Justice hit two homeruns in a losing cause.

Lou Gehrig hit .500 in the series to raise his average to .344 with 22 homeruns, 64 RBI, 86 runs scored, and a 1.159 OPS. Dimaggio had an insane series; he hit .480 with five homeruns and 17(!) RBI to raise his overall average to .302 with 32 homeruns and a ridiculous 105 RBI with a 1.011 OPS. Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing have nearly identical numbers; Gomez is 9-3 with a 2.62 ERA while Ruffing is 10-3 with a 2.61 ERA. Kemp Wicker and Spud Chandler have identical 5-4 records with identical 3.82 ERAs.

Jeter continues to hold steady at .273 with 11 homeruns and 87 runs scored. Williams hit .400 with five homeruns and 11 RBI to raise his overall average to .270 with 22 homeruns and 65 RBI. Justice hit four more homeruns to give him 29 for the season and drove in seven runs to give 82 RBI for the season. Roger Clemens had two ugly starts to give him a 12-5 record with an ERA of 3.73. Mariano Rivera saved all three wins to give him 26 for the season with a 1.68 ERA. The 2K Yankees will battle with the 18-12 1951 Yankees in the next series.

@TSBL Tuesday :P

after you click on the + sign you have to click on ADD in the lower right corner

cant wait for some master game options. Keep up the good work Jeremy its appreciated

Even if it is different systems, I would think the rules of what a manager is programmed to do would translate to any system?

@fjs080850 said in What would it cost to run a solitaire single season replay with the game accumulating stats??:

Just to double-check — I need to buy the season, and if I want to play it as an as-played season, I also need the Replay Unlock, right? So it’s $50 total?" And APBA Go keeps the stats??

Pretty much.

Can playoffs and a World Series be played at the end of the season? I understand that if the teams making the playoffs differ from the actual historical results, the lineups would need to be created manually. However, is it still possible to run playoffs at the season’s end?

There is no automated post-season functionality.

But you can pair up custom teams and play them against each other, and put the game results in a generic Collection. You’d have to keep track of the schedule etc. manually but you could play through a World Series fairly easily. You would also need to purchase the League Tools Unlock ($25) to have access to custom teams and lineups outside Replays. Or subscribe.

Thanks,

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

@APBA-GO-Jeremy

Thank you! I appreciate the help.

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
