Hi!

If you turn the pitching change rule off, it will no longer use the Pitching Change table in your game.

For a true Master Game experience, it’s better to leave it on, as with the other Master Game rules.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Unfortunately, it happens EVERY single time.

The 1978 Yankees defeated the 1923 Yankees in their six game series four games to two. The '78 Yankees climbed back over .500 at 40-38 while the '23 Yankees fell to 53-49.

The two teams split the first four games. The '78 Yankees won games One and Three 11-4 and 4-3. Reggie Jackson hit two of the teams five home runs in Game One and drove in five RBI. The '23 Yankees won games Two and Four 6-5 and 4-0. The '23 Yankees won Game Two despite a big game by Graig Nettles who was 4-4 at the plate with a triple, two home runs and four RBI. The game ended when Jackson hit into a game-ending double play with the bases loaded. Waite Hoyt pitched a two-hit shutout in Game Four while Aaron Ward went 3-4 at the plate with a double, two RBI, and two runs scored. The '78 Yankees retook the lead in the series in Game Five with a wild 7-6 win. They led 4-2 in the 7th when Bob Meusel hit a grand slam to give the '23 Yankees a 6-4 lead. The '78 Yankees came back with three in the 8th, including a two-run single by Mickey Rivers to give them back the lead for good. They clinched the series in the final game with a 4-3 win.

Jackson’s average dropped to .324 with 23 home runs, 59 RBI, 57 runs scored, and a 1.008 OPS. Rivers raised his average to .320 with 26 stolen bases. Nettles hit three home runs in the series to give him 16 for the season while raising his average to .290. Ed Figueroa picked up two wins in the series to improve his record to 11-3 with a 3.13 ERA. Goose Gossage bounced back in this series with three saves to give him 25 for the season while lowering his ERA to 3.18.

Babe Ruth leads the '23 Yankees in hitting at .393 with 32 home runs, 90 RBI, 96 runs scored and a 1.342 OPS. Hoyt’s shutout raised his record to 12-4 with a 2.48 ERA. The '23 Yankees will face the 41-31 1939 Yankees in the next series.

How wild is it that back in the day, our greatest athletes went to war with our military? Can anyone imagine Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Judge fighting overseas?

I’m not sure. Try the Pitching Change Rule, maybe?

@APBA-GO-Jeremy
Thank you Jeremy!

copy and paste to a blank excel spreadsheet ~ I resize all the column widths to 5 (Format_Column Width_5_Ok) so that you can view all the data without changing the View from 100%

I agree now have had that affect the outcome twice in the bottom of the 8th inning

@BogotaBrave Yikes…

That is an excellent question, that I counter with something tangential and mostly unrelated. Look! The dice rolls from six ‘games’ based on your criteria. There are some wide swings, relatively speaking, with some results getting hit 6 times in a game. But it’s never the same… 36, 12, 61. Sixty-six gets a lot of hits, except game 4, where it’s a bad day to need a home run I guess.

To try and provide some color data for your question, let me show some results for 10x rolls:

A decade or so back I wrote an application that simulated our big country-wide lottery (not as big as powerball, say, but I always thought it would be nice to win ;) ), and I had a bunch of work acquaintances try it. There were (relatively) quite a few free tickets, $2 wins, a fair number of $5s and a good amount of $20s but things tapered off quickly. And no one won the ‘easiest’ $20,000 prize - even me, who macroed my own app to play it hundreds of times trying to win it. People thought I rigged it. :)

Numbers are mean.

@Wchatrison355 Hi. You should fill out the support form so we can investigate those games.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@Steve_Admin No, but if I can find it, I will. (It was a “few” games ago.)

@BogotaBrave Hi! This we WERE able to reproduce. We’re working on a fix.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Note: AFAIK the setting was switched to on

I agree it would be nice for instructions on how these options work. I play both MG and BG but some of the options aren’t explained. It took me a while to learn what the step play referred to

@Bumper37 Hi! If you’re using the Replay feature, click the ‘View Collection’ button to be taken to the Collection for that Replay.

Any games played in the Replay will be available there, and the stats will aggregate.

If you are playing through a season manually, make sure all the games are assigned to the same Collection.

View the Collection using the Collection link on the left side menu to see aggregated stats.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@maltesetim-0 I’m guessing the 3D dice are unavailable? Lol. Grayed out.

Hi!
There seems to be some strange behavior in the master game on base advancement anytime the calculation comes out over 36. I “believe” the calculation should be: Hit Value - Arm Rating + Runner Speed. I don’t have the boards, but as there are 36 combinations on 2 dice I assume 1-36 is the ‘roll’ range. So here’s an example

2 OUTS ; CONCEPCION on 2nd. Ken GRIFFEY SINGLES to right:
Result: SINGLE to right: 42 *52/44 *54/46 *56; RF (1B-SS) C (PL-to left: 46 *56/48 *58/50 *60; LF (3B-2B) C) SAC: Batter out; A-1B PO-2B†
Sub-Result: game-cso-2

I assume game-cso-2 is a roll of 2 so first group = Hit Value of 52. Right Fielders Arm is 33 and Runner Speed is 18 = 52-33+18 = 37. This is what the advancement dialogue told me and gives a percentage of 99.00% (Actually should be 37/36 = 102.78%…automatic). But the play by play says:
The defense throws to catch out Dave CONCEPCION
A 5 is rolled against Dave CONCEPCION’s 1
The 1 is 36 less than the calculation and is 2.78% instead of 102.78%
I have seen many examples of this and it’s always when the calculation is OVER 36 it seem to roll against that number - 36.

I had some screenshots, but can’t seem to copy them here. Anyone else notice this? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!!!
