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.

The 1928 Yankees defeated the 1947 Yankees four games to two in their six game series to remain in first place at 57-27. The '47 Yankees ended their season at 74-82.

Poor defense enabled the '28 Yankees to win Game One 8-6; seven of the eight runs were unearned thanks to two '47 Yankees errors. The '47 Yankees evened the series with a 2-1 win in Game Two; Billy Johnson broke a 1-1 tie with a solo home run in the 7th for the eventual win. The '28 Yankees needed 11 innings to win Game Three 6-5. Babe Ruth hit the go-ahead two-out two-run homer in the 11th to break a 4-4 tie. The '28 Yankees scored 10 runs in the 7th inning of Game Four in a 19-5 win. Lou Gehrig and Bob Meusel combined to go 10-11 at the plate with three doubles, two home runs, 11 RBI, and seven runs scored. They clinched the series with a 6-3 win in Game Five. The game was scoreless through six innings; then the '28 Yankees scored three run in the 7th and 8th innings. The '47 Yankees finished their season with an 11-6 win.

The 1947 Yankees finished the season with a team average of .266, 11th best, while scoring 741, 4.75 a game. Here are the final numbers for the starting lineup.

Yay, Kayleigh!

After a dramatic 12 inning win in game one, Connie Mack’s As are eliminated from contention, losing the last 2 games to the Cubs. Frank Chance had 3 doubles in the series and set up Harry Steinfeldt for the RBIs.

4 teams remain in contention, which could quickly drop to 2 in the next two series.

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.

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

@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
