APBA GO Forums

i wish you could turn of the advance… throw to base…advance…throw to base…cut off …repeat endless mechanic

funny last year i argued with a scorekeeper at grand kids game who was adamant on a walk off only the first (winning) run counts. I argued no all count on walk off. In retrospect probably should not have got so wound up about 13 y/o game lol

@mariner-0
I play basic. Was just looking at the Master game options…

The 2009 Yankees played probably their best series in a disappointing season by defeating the 1953 Yankees five of six games. The 2K9 Yankees improved their record to 63-69 while the '53 Yankees fell to 50-40.

The offense for the 2K9 Yankees was really humming in this series; they scored 42 runs in their five wins and overcame late or significant deficits in four of those games. In Game One, they trailed 5-3 in the 8th only to score four runs, capped by a two-run homer by Robinson Cano, to win 7-5. The '53 Yankees evened the series in Game Two 6-4 behind Johnny Sain who got the win and hit a three-run homer of his own. The 2K9 Yankees won the remainder of the games in the series, starting with a 14-0 blowout in Game Three. While Andy Pettitte pitched a five-hit shutout, the offense saw everyone score or drive in a run thanks to 20 hits. In Game Four, they trailed 7-2 after six innings. In the 7th, they scored four runs, including a bases-loaded triple by Alex Rodriguez to cut the lead to one. Then they rallied for two more in the 9th off closer Allie Reynolds with a Juan Miranda RBI single and a Cano walk-off double for an 8-7 win. Cano continued to leave his fingerprints on this series in Game Five, a 9-5 win; they overcame a 5-0 deficit thanks in large part to Cano who went 3-5 with a triple, homer, and five RBI. In the final game, the '53 Yankees made the mistake of taking an early 3-0 lead. The 2K9 Yankees scored four in the 7th on a pair of two-run homers by Francisco Cervelli and Rodriguez to take a 4-3 lead. Mariano Rivera struck out Mickey Mantle with the bases loaded to end the game.

Derek Jeter leads the 2K9 Yankees in hitting at .293 with 19 home runs, 31 stolen bases, and 87 runs scored. Cano hit .444 in the series with three homers and 12(!) RBI to raise his average to .291 with 23 home runs. Jorge Posada got injured in the second game of this series; he is hitting .263 with 25 home runs and 99 RBI. A Rod is hitting .259 with 29 home runs, 13 stolen bases, 103 RBI, and 106 runs scored. Mark Teixeira is hitting .211 with 19 home runs and 78 RBI. Pettite’s shutout improved his record to 9-8 with a 3.59 ERA. Rivera now has 27 saves with a 2.51 ERA.

Gene Woodling leads the '53 Yankees in hitting at .338 with 59 RBI, 65 runs scored, and a .976 OPS. Hank Bauer is hitting .315 with 16 home runs, 55 RBI, and 74 runs scored. Mantle is hitting .305 with 26 home runs, 81 RBI, 75 runs scored, and a .964 OPS. Yogi Berra is hitting .253 with 20 home runs, 79 RBI, and 59 runs scored. After his win, Sain is 8-4 with a 3.91 ERA. The '53 Yankees will take on the 47-43 1978 Yankees in the next series.

I had one the other day where it was a 3 run homer in the 2nd inning with no errors or anything that could be mistaken as unearned that were all unearned… that was a bad one. I feel like it was better for a while, now its worse again, but hopefully with enough examples it’ll get sorted

@APBA-GO-Jeremy please atleast film the GO portion!

An update on my 1952 Replay, which has now reached the end of May and has seen 311 games played.

One thing I have definitely noticed with the '52 season… the A-ranked pitchers are nearly un-hittable. Batter’s cards with 10’s and 11’s are not very common (but lots of 8’s and 9’s). As a result, of the pitchers with 35+ innings pitched so far, there are eleven with ERA’s south of 2.00. Not surprisingly, nine of those eleven pitchers are A’s.

On the other end of the scale is poor Herm Wehmeier (D-W) of the Reds. He is 0-6 after seven starts, and has given up 51 earned runs in 40 innings (11.48 ERA). The Pirates’ Ron Kline and the Phillies’ Howie Fox (both D’s) have combined to pitch 43.2 innings and are 0-9 between them with a combined ERA of 12.57. The D’s are really tough to watch sometimes.

Anyway, here’s where things stand, as this highly-enjoyable Replay on GO heads into June…

AMERICAN LEAGUE

In real life, the 1952 Yankees were middle-of-the-pack as May ended. But here, they already lead the division by 2.5 games over Cleveland. The bigger story in the Replay has been the pitching woes in Boston. It’s not uncommon to see the Red Sox lose a high-scoring game, as the dice have been painfully unfriendly through the first one-quarter of their season. Will be interesting to see if it continues.

Team Thumbnails: (number in parentheses is +/- wins from real life in '52)

Yankees (+7)
A well-balanced attack, led by Yogi Berra’s 7 HR’s and 26 RBI’s. Mickey Mantle is batting .311 with 5 HR’s and 20 RBI’s. On the mound, Vic Rashi and Allie Reynolds are both 6-2. Defensively, the Yankees have committed a league-low 23 errors in 35 games.

Indians (+1)
Three hitters and three pitchers have carried them. Easter, Rosen and Doby have combined for 31 HR’s and 89 RBI’s. Lemon, Wynn and Garcia are a combined 21-3 with a 1.55 ERA. Those three starters will keep them in the race.

White Sox (+1)
First baseman Eddie Robinson has been outstanding, leading the league in RBI’s and OPS, while batting .331. Sherm Lollar has contributed with 6 HR’s and 26 RBI’s. Billy Pierce (6-4, 2.50 ERA) leads the pitching staff.

Athletics (+3)
The A’s have over-achieved a bit, especially when you consider nobody has hit more than three homers for them. On the mound, Bobby Shantz is 5-2 with a 1.64 ERA. But nobody else on the Philadelphia staff has an ERA under 3.70.

Nationals (-3)
Jackie Jensen has starred since coming over in a trade with the Yankees, batting .314 and driving in 21 runs. On the mound, four-game winner Bob Porterfield has been solid with a 1.60 ERA. Reliever Sandy Consuegra has five saves.

Tigers (+4)
After an impressive start, the Tigers are starting to fade a bit. Batting only .225 as a team, there is little offense other than Vic Wertz (.248, 7 HR, 26 RBI). Shortstop Johnny Lipon is batting only .138. Dizzy Trout (3-1, 1.82 ERA) leads the pitching staff.

Browns (-2)
The Browns have recovered nicely from a dreadful 1-and-13 start. Bob Nieman (.322, 6 HR, 31 RBI) has been a big surprise, as has Clint Courtney (.298, 4 HR, 29 RBI). Ageless Satchel Paige is 2-2 with 2 saves and an ERA of 1.89 out of the pen.

Red Sox (-11)
Yikes. An overall team ERA of 6.27 is downright frightening. Once you get past ace Mel Parnell (5-3, 2.35 ERA), it’s a trainwreck. The hitting’s pretty good - Faye Throneberry (.356) has been sensational - but something needs to be done. There are rumors of a big upcoming trade with Detroit in the works.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

In the National League, it’s shaping up to be a good three-team race… or even four, if the Cubs can pick things up a bit. But the Giants will now be without young Willie Mays for the rest of the season. That loss is gonna hurt. The Phils’ Robin Roberts (AC-YZ) is on a blazing pace for a season for the record books, while the Pirates’ pitching (with four D-W’s) is starting to go off the rails.

National League Standings:

Dodgers 25-12 (-)
Giants 23-14 (2)
Phillies 22-15 (3)
Cubs 19-21 (7.5)
Cardinals 19-21 (7.5)
Reds 17-22 (9)

Team Thumbnails: (number in parentheses is +/- wins from real life in '52)

Dodgers (-2)
Strength up the middle has carried Brooklyn. CF Duke Snider (.357, 32 RBI) has been outstanding. Middle infielders Pee Wee Reese (.309) Jackie Robinson (.305) each have three homers and 20 RBI. On the mound, Preacher Roe is 7-1 with a 1.99 ERA. The Dodgers’ .984 fielding % leads both leagues.

Giants (-4)
This week’s loss of Willie Mays (.315, 5 HR, 28 RBI) to the US Army will hurt a lot. But New York still has Don Mueller (.345, 29 RBI) and Davey Williams (.310, 23 RBI). The Giant’s team ERA of 4.06 has been a disappointment, although Hoyt Wilhelm (2-1, 0.64 ERA, 4 Saves) has been stellar out of the pen.

Phillies (+5)
Just give Robin Roberts the Cy Young right now. He’s 9-0 with a 1.19 ERA, as the Phils’ team ERA of 3.13 is best in the league. Karl Drews is 5-1, 1.76. Granny Hamner (.340, 6 HR, 32 RBI) has been the NL’s best Shortstop. Over-achieving quite a bit from real life, this team is not going away anytime soon.

Cubs (-4)
With the league’s second-best pitching stats, the Cubs should be higher in the standings. Bob Rush (6-2, 1.03 ERA) and Paul Minner (6-0, 2.68) have carried the freight. Hank Sauer (1.037 OPS) has been a machine with his 15 homers and 38 RBI, while Frank Baumholtz is batting .350. Chicago should still climb.

Cardinals (+1)
After Stan Musial (.336, 3 HR, 22 RBI) and Red Schoendienst (.320, 4 HR, 25 RBI), there’s not much to brag about offensively. Nor on the mound. Nobody on the pitching staff has more than three wins, and ace Gerry Staley is 2-5 with a 3.03 ERA. The Cards’ 46 defensive errors lead both leagues.

Reds (-2)
Catcher Andy Seminick’s 11 homers have been a huge surprise, considering he belted only 14 all year in real life. Joe Adcock (.358, 6 HR, 23 RBI) has been fantastic in platoon duty, but needs to start more often. Pitching ace Ken Raffensberger (5-1, 2.06 ERA) has been excellent.

Braves (E)
Boston’s 13-22 record matches what they did in real life. But the Braves simply can’t hit. They’re batting .211 and have scored only 116 runs (the other seven NL teams are averaging 182). Rookie 3B Eddie Mathews is batting .178. Pitching ace Warren Spahn (5-3, 0.96 ERA) could sue this entire team for non-support.

Pirates (+6)
Incredibly, the last-place Bucs are the NL’s biggest overachievers. Ted Wilks (3-1, 1.19 ERA, 7 saves) has been outstanding coming out of the pen. Ace Murry Dickson (5-5, 2.32 ERA) has also been very good, but the rest of the staff is weak. Ralph Kiner has 6 homers and 25 RBI, but is hitting only .194. Gus Bell claims Pittsburgh’s best batting average at .261.

just tried it shrink to 80% and go full screen you can see game que with auto dice

@maltesetim-0 Master Game Buttons:

On Defense: Pitch, Intentional Walk, Hold Runner, Infield In, and Pitch from the Stretch.

On Offense: Swing Away, Bunt, Hit & Run, and Attempt a Steal.

There may be other buttons, but that is what I saw when I played.

slow for me as well but figured it was my internet

I am occasionally seeing on my Collections stats where certain random players show zero stats. (For example, on this attached screenshot.) Westlake, Temple and Edwards have a combined 134 AB’s for the Reds in my '52 replay, yet their stats are not showing up here…

Nice, I’ve used the stathead/sports reference to do the same for another game engine. How are you distinguishing between medium and long passes & screen and short?

Slot has been filled

@Steve_Admin

Against micro managers you are correct, 5 and 10. But solitaire games award nothing.

It would be great if we could get points for those games.

Support ticket sent.

The Red Sox use the long ball to take 2 of 3 from the Cubs to end their massive winning streak and keep it a pennant race. Harry Hooper homered in the 1st game and Tris Speaker in the 2nd. Boston is just 2 games behind the 23 - 7 Cubs.

In the end, I just recreated the Dodgers-Giants game by downloading the P-B-P, then inputting each dice roll as it had happened when I first played the game a few days earlier. I couldn’t wait too long, while the game was still fresh in my memory (for things like runners playing it safe, infield playing in, etc).
Everything worked out fine and, this time, the box score was added to my 1952 Replay Collection without an issue. All I can think is that I had done something wonky when setting up that particular game the first time around.

Or as a programmer like me would say, “It’s not a bug; it’s a feature!” :)
