I play the Basic game, but use the available options like Optional Pitching, Advanced Fielding and Pitcher Fatigue. For me, they each add excellent strategic realism. I play Solitaire games, usually one a day. You can also set up any specific game to be played on Autoplay, but I personally prefer to roll them myself. So, if you want, you can easily pick and choose which games to play yourself (ie. Red Sox or Royals). You can also play just the AL games, if you want. And even if you play a game on Autoplay, you can always review the boxscore afterward.
I would STRONGLY recommend buying the Replay Unlock feature. Well worth the $25.
Stats are quickly and easily saved after each game in Collections. Again… highly recommend doing that. The level of stat-keeping, by individual or team, is exceptional. The only issue I find is that, once every ten games or so, an earned/unearned run is tabulated incorrectly (usually after a Passed Ball, or an Error followed by a Fielder’s Choice). But that’s a pretty minor thing.
Good luck and have fun with whatever you decide.

Robert Ernie “Babo” Castillo Jr. (April 18, 1955 – June 30, 2014) was an American professional baseball pitcher. He played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball (MLB) between 1977 and 1985. …Castillo is credited with teaching his former Dodgers teammate, Fernando Valenzuela, how to throw a screwball. - Wikipedia

My creation… 30 random teams hosted inside the Holodeck. Each round will be played in steps with 2 teams per step. Winners move up a step, losers move down a step, while the unfortunate team that drops the tribble at Step 1 is ejected from the simulation, unceremoniously dumped from the arch, and left to the cold void of the ship’s memory purge before the dropped franchise rights are auctioned off to the highest-bidding Ferengi trader and a brand-new random team is materialized in their place.

I am manually replaying the 1952 season without any problems like you describe.
For instance, I am currently setting up starting lineups for my next game. Larry Jansen is correctly shown as the starting pitcher for the Giants’ June 19th game vs Pittsburgh.
But if I wanted to choose another starting pitcher instead… I would simply go click on his name (ie. Al Corwin), drag it across and drop it in place over Jansen’s name in the #9 spot, then click the blue "NEXT’ tab on the top right.
And Corwin would then be the Giants’ starting pitcher instead of Jansen…

Hi,

The RR sets would give you more players to play with.

Sometimes cards are adjusted in the RR sets to correct errors, but not all the time.

Otherwise, you should be fine.

Thanks,
Jeremy

welcome aboard Ron

@APBA-GO-Jeremy
Yep, safe here. Lots and lots of trees down. Normal stuff, just a bit more damage to infrastructure that usual.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy I figured it out.

YES I AM USING THE REPLAY FEATURE for both 1974 and 1975.

I then use the CUSTOM TEAM FEATURE to summon a team and delete and add players to get the OPENING DAY ROSTERS for each team.

I will add more seasons.

Thanks.

slot filled

@maltesetim-0 Solitaire games stick around for about a year.

The ability to select pitchers marked as relievers for starting pitcher.

I play actual line ups. Many (well, a few) times the actual starter is in the reliever section and not able to be selected as starter.
“O, woe is me, / To have seen what I have seen, see what I see!”

Furthermore:

Collections

Collections should now export based on filter selection as expected Replay Collections with missing Autoplay games should have them returned Further performance improvements for large Collections

Now my games don’t automatically go to collections and my games on my 1964 replay will not go in collections.

The micromanagers are using the provided stats to make decisions. There are extreme circumstances that happen in the context of a full season, but when making decision points for Micromanagers, we look at individual games and historical decisions. We haven’t yet provided micromanagers that are tailored to an individual team, much less in a specific season environment. - Steve

In addition to the usual fixes and whatnot, we’ve been doing some work on optimizations of baseball under the hood.

This patch also introduces some changes to Collections to better accommodate very large Collections. You will notice the games and standings tab load when you first access a Collection, and clicking on batting, pitching, etc. triggers an additional load of data for only that tab. Once loaded, the data remains available on that tab and there are no further loads. This will decrease the amount of time needed to get into a large Collection, and reduce the time it takes to see the data you need. In a smaller Collection, the changes will barely be noticeable. We will be making further adjustments to Collections in our next release, including corrections to the way averages are calculated in total fields, and more.

We also undertook a general optimization pass on database queries used across the application. Currently under scrutiny are changes to the processes used for Autoplay games. A database cleanup will occur over the next few days where unnecessary records are removed from the database. And more optimizations will be included in the next patch.

This optimization and efficiency work is being carried out to prepare Baseball for its eventual integration into the new apbago.com platform, and will take a few releases to complete.

As always, please let us know if anything changes (negatively) and affects the things you normally do with the app.

Thanks,
Jeremy
