I can't really see an attribute outside of Speed that would contribute to a player stealing, and yet it doesn't seem like that's all there is to it. Does anyone know how stealing works?

I had a guy with 87 speed end up with 8 SB and 6 CS while starting the entire season. Not only is that SB% horrendous for someone that fast, but he barely ever attempted to steal. Now, I know in real life, there may be people who are fast but lack base stealing skill (they don't know when to go, get bad jumps, etc) and maybe don't try it often or aren't successful... and there are runners who are great with decision-making and can be successful despite not being the fastest... but I don't see anything in the game that correlates to this.

The player in question was 2005 Jimmy Rollins, who in real life DID get caught 6 times... but the difference is that he was successful 41 times. I feel like he should be attempting a steal every 3-4 games on average, but it's not coming close to that.

I need help on how to stay financially afloat in small market teams as i always lose money with small market team and i depend financially on the distribution of being under the luxury tax

let us know what you think! Good Luck and Cheers!

1. I believe two-way players should be implemented more into the drafts considering they’re now more prevalent in todays game. This would make the game a little more realistic and exciting.

2. I noticed a bug where two-way players can not play DH when they are starting pitching which is not the case in real life obviously. They will instead just simply not be in the hitting lineup and someone else from the bench will take their place.

3. Add colleges! A decent amount of players simply don’t go to college in real life so that’s understandable but when 100% of the league didn’t go to college it makes it way harder to believe… would just make immersion into the game slightly easier.

4. The goat lab seems pretty tame in standards of formulas so some tinkering with it could do. However this usually seems to be a personal choice with players so it doesn’t exactly NEED to be changed.

5. and of course everyone asks for this but; minor league teams. would probably be a pain in the ass but being able to have a farm system is a big part of baseball and it’d be nice to have that in the game.

6. Forgive me if what I’m saying here is wrong; it’s just my own experiences with this game and so these are assumptions of the truth…: Pitchers should not pitch games longer just because they have the “workhorse attribute”, if a starting pitcher gets shelled 6-0 in the 2nd inning of a playoff match, he should be sent off for some bullpen arms. On top of this they shouldn’t be taken out of the game if they are close to pitching a no hitter or perfect game. Also! no hitters or perfect games should be included in the statistical feats sections. (i’m assuming they are but I have personally never seen it so I would just like to put this here).

For dumbmatter: I’ve noticed a decent amount of good QOL updates recently so THANK YOU for that and for not treating BaseballGM like the red headed step-child of your ZenGM games. Thanks for everything else as well as I love to play all of these games and it has taken up a decent amount of my time - Someone who plays your games almost daily.

I want something realistic, thanks in advance!

If not, I would really like to see this in game.

If the Mets win the World Series, we get coaches in all 4 games, but you implement it in baseball first. My idea for coaches here is that they are paid on how good they are, like players, but they have stats that boost the players, like John Doe has +5 to power, -2 to contact, and -1 to eye as a hitting coach, Mike Oxlong has +3 endurance, +1 movement, and -2 control as pitching coach, John Lennon gives +3 speed as 1st Base coach, etc. Managers can affect any stat, but a hitting coach can only affect hitting stats. Accepted, u/dumbmatter?

Like if your 7th batter is injured, he'll be replaced by a sub and then the AI will determine the order of your 7-8-9 hitters. Previously whenever there was a sub, the AI would reorder your entire lineup.

Arguably I could have it not reorder at all, but that does silly stuff if like your leadoff hitter is injured and replaced with a horrible hitter, obviously the replacement should not be the leadoff hitter.

The downside of this is that if you have a defensive specialist as a starter, the backup might be a better hitter, in which case you might actually want the backup to be higher in the batting order than the starter would have been. That will no longer happen automatically, you'd have to micromanage your lineup when there are injuries if you want that behavior.

But overall I think this new method is a good compromise - it won't leave shitty replacement batters at the top of the order, and it also will leave the top of the order alone most of the time.

For some reason, whenever I go to my roster pages, it only shows currently active players. How can I fix this?

new HoF'S:

Jake Evans,That Was Considered the \"heart\" of Natal Dragons,Would be inducted in 99

I wish we could rename it to World Series MVP, but that's not what this is about :) My question: is there a place to see player stats for the Finals? I can find playoff stats but I couldn't find how players did specifically in the Finals. On the season summary page, it shows the Finals MVP winner and their stat line for the Finals. This is the only place I've seen this. I switched the award to go to a different player and now it shows their season stat line, not their Finals stats.

another expansion draft would occur in 84,now with 3 teams:Manaus Ceringueiros,Chapecó Onças and buenos aires bulldogs(the second argentine team to join the league)

from team changes:Natal Dragons would move to ceará,thats all.

new HoF's:

Nikolas de Lucca(played for Minas,Fortaleza,Pinheiros,Natal and Flamengo),Riley Stone(that played for:Fortaleza,Salvador,Pinheiros,Chapecó and ended returning to fortaleza) and Dai Kotoge would be inducted

sansão rego,that played for paulista and sirio,was the first inductee

eliel bandeira,main joint of the braves in the 40s,was the second

aldair rios,player for the brown before and after the move to maranhão,was the last choosen to the mural

winners of the series and award winners

so,this is the same thing as the CBB(but it was founded earlier,and i made few better changes)

so,heres a review of the 30s & 40s of the league:

founded in 1937,with 5 teams(araçatuba,paulistano,são bento,anhembi and são paulo(giants),was a small league based on the state of são paulo,having few rounds,and the final would be a single match(would become a best-of-5 series in 1946).

the first ever final match,between paulistano and são bento,held in a park in campinas that would held the finals since 1940,until it's replacement with Pacaembu,wich held from 1941 to 1945(last best-of-1 final)

in 1939,it would be made a expasion that would have the debuts of:SC Germania(now pinheiros),Sirio(The Franchise would be bought over by corinthians paulista in the future),Scottish Wanderers(disbanded in 1941),cubatão pilots(a major finnalist that would win the brazillian series in the future,franchise bought over by minas tenis clube in the future)

the second expansion would happen in 1947,with the entry of new teams(due to a merge between liga paulista de basebol and liga inter-estadual de desportos),both pinheiros and cubatão would move to the new league,the debuting teams where:Guanabara reais,Laranjeiras Leais(would be bought over CR Flamengo in the future),Pelotas Gothams(major team in the league,biggest winner of the league when it was not part of liga paulista),vitoria estrelas(major team alongside the gothams)

winners and awards at the best-of-1 finals era

winners and awards at the best-of-5 finals era

best rookies between of both decades

Right now I'm editing a league with pictures. None of them are loading after refreshing chrome, shutting down my computer, and doing both again. What can I do to fix this??

I am trying to do a Shohei Career Sim, so I wonder if you can feasibly make the most of a two way player

This is random but how is the WAR calculated in advanced stats? I can’t figure it out
