The Umpire Strikes TCL (formerly Mother of All Short Squeezes for CSFBL)

[andujar]

I’m trying to be like Lemke and Balmers.

But sometimes struggling. there are scoutable actions that show whether a batter can hit same handed pitching or if a pitcher is tougher on same handed batters. Like actually watching a player try it in practice. Or seeing a pitchers release point. With the change to the game, all we know is L, R or S and game results. Seems less Real.

SEAFAT is the other that doesn't make sense to me. On one of my teams I've had a guy at 80/82, RESTED for 3 consecutive sims now. Clearly that's SEAFAT, we get that can kind of figure it out. But if I'm a new guy.... that's pretty damn confusing why he won't go back to 82/82. I'm also still struggling figuring out when a P will get back to xx/xx EN.

Thats true, maybe there should still be benefits to having a player on roster that other teams do not get, a 'number of stars' rating (thinking *** vs * or something) for 'vs opposite handedness' that only an owner can see. (i would say grade but there is already too many letters on a players card) .



Just word vomiting visual appeal of the player card at this point:

doing ratings like below (with better graphics) in a table on the left side of the player card maybe would offset the letters/numbers in rows on right side for specific attributes?

Scouting	Rating
Overall Potential	******
Offense	****
Defense	******
vs L	*****
vs R	*

It still exists, but it isn’t visible any more.


Taking things away, like the L/R rating, seems to be a recipe for backlash.

I’m trying not to be bothered by it, but it seems like a silly thing to do

Isn't that how major updates are supposed to be designed though? People will whine anyway, so you make some really terrible changes that you can happily roll back to appease the critics who will then feel much better.

I'm just looking forward to minor league stats, so we can properly evaluate prospects the new way. I'll be surprised and disappointed if we don't get that.

this is why player bench should come into play, everybody is so conditioned to avoid bench players or even stock their roster with a good bench

imagine a bench that can play without fearing a huge dropoff and allowing your star players to incur less seafat

with the player salaries being affected as they have with this new code, we now have the opportunity to actually have a roster with players that have value for every role you'd like / need during a season


we have an opportunity here fellas, step out of the box as it were and away from the years long conditioning we built up due to the old code parameters and look at the options the new code can give

thoughts?

I actually like this. Theres not enough visual help on these pages right now. My eyes are confused

[makila]

I like that idea too, something like that. I'm still struggling with trying to look at the new data.

I do highly recommend you guys checkout what CBT put together as a browser extension: https://forums.csfbl.com/showthread.php/308248

Have found it helps with the draft page a lot specifically. I so want the pots back under. Really really dislike the left to right looking.
