OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - OK After the last build, How is the Historical Aspect of the Game?

This is for fictionals, I know, but it *should* translate to OOTP... if you go into the engine file in the config folder, you can edit the frequency of errors, double plays, wild pitches, and passed balls. I've found that for errors at least you can get *really* realistic totals just by dividing the error rate (1 minus FA) by the 2005 error rate and applying that to the game. I've been doing this with both throwing and catching errors, and they mostly look good. Too many errors by 1Bmen, maybe too few for some middle infielders, the right amount for catchers (though they'll look like way too much - keep in mind that Monte Ward broke the century mark IRL).

It's a bit of extra work, unfortunately, but still less than what I had to do to get 6.51 to work right (even then, fielding was horrible).
